New nightly up on angband.live

i've learned with tile mode, and playing with ascii means i need to learn everything again. i can tell straight away what is what, which in text mode i cannot. file under "because i like it".
if anything, i feel the opposite way - why does anyone *not* play tile mode.

I can understand that. When I play DCSS I always play in tiles mode because I have learned to play it in tiles mode. I tried playing angband in tiles mode but I remebered stuff like drolems and such and decided against it.

i'm trying this now, and i'm wondering, if there is any way to have this in tile mode, rather than ASCII ?

Not yet. Hopefully I find the time to get round to it in the future. In principle it should be easy, but that doesn't mean quick or straightforward.

Problem is not tiles vs ASCII, it's having unsual monsters to display. if you meet a dragon, with either ASCII or tiles, you will think immediately of a dragon. If you meet a "gelugon", you will probably have no idea wth it is.

unless you have played for years AD&D. the monster icons are plain ol' ripped off of the Monster Manual.

[Tibarius]

why play in asc mode and not in tile mode?

My answer on Sky's yesterday's question:

Because the player in front of the computer screen can see more dungeon area in asc mode than in tile mode. In asc mode i see something about 30x40 spaces, while it is something about 9*15 in tile (graphics) mode.

For me it is mainly a matter to see all possible monsters in shoot range (20 spaces).

Kind regards,
Tibarius

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but from Dec 1 nightly game blink dogs can blink me but I can't blink myself while wearing teleportation curse. Is this correct or a bug? Currently taking on maeglin with teleportation curse (and now Jaws of Thirst), wish me luck!

Does anti-teleport prevent TO? That would be a real problem with Maeglin. Otherwise, it's no big deal so long as you have plenty of heal.
