Notes Patch

[Narvius]

I've sometimes seen such "tables" of accomplishments, as in this dump: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=7597

Can anytone tell me how to get these?

[Kadoles]

do you mean like this:

a) The Quarterstaff of Olorin (2d9) (+10,+13) (+4) {saruman 2900'}

to inscribe an item, use "{" select the item, and type whatever you want.


or do you mean the char dump itself?

for the char dump, bring up your stat page and hit "f" to file.
When you die, it gives you the the same option "f" to create a char dump.

then go to the ladder and submit your char.

It's in the dev version, and hence will be in 3.1.

[Narvius]

Yay. I love you.

Does it have a note everytime you reach the next 500' for the first time? Just to document diving speed.

Don't love me, love J.D.White, he wrote the version in V and got it sorted. And no, it doesn't. In practice, it seems to be OK to just record each time character level rises.

[Narvius]

I love everyone who ever contributed to (or it's for?) Angband.

Okay.

Any idea when it will be available for download?

Nightly builds are available for Windows:

And for Mac:

Instructions for downloading the latest dev source code are available here:

How stable are the nightly builds? I understand that they say they're not, or something like that, but they should really be okay, right?
I just tried out the newest one, and I really like the history table and the new interface additions. It's looking really good. Plus the Mr. Att icon definitely grew on me. I'm awfully partial to the JRRT monogram, but the icon's pretty catchy.
Is there an estimated time for the 3.1 release?

All code has bugs; the nightly builds are likely to have more bugs than the tested release builds. A lot of it also depends on the stage in development; when a major rewrite of part of the game is being done, for example, nightlies may represent a stage halfway along that rewrite so not everything may work together well. Other risks are crash bugs and save file compatibility. This is why most programs which make nightly releases available often offer a few builds - so that if today's build is broken, you can at least try one from last week.

At the moment, nearing release, I'd say the nightlies are fairly safe.

I loved the monogram too, but the new icon is pretty nice

Is there an estimated time for the 3.1 release?

The only scheduled development remaining is work on "blockers" - that is, the feature list is locked down and only known bugs and balance issues are on the list. However, our mighty maintainer is very busy right now and so has less time for Angband - so to the best of my knowledge there's no estimated release date.

V 3.1 nightly builds are usually stable. But there's certainly no way to expect stability any given night. svn is easier--you can sync to a specific date in the code when things were stable. (I recommend now--the game's in pretty good shape, and ranged combat is no longer nerfed...)

Beware: you will need to throw away all old save files. There's a massive change to objects.txt that caused too much trouble to keep save-file compatibility.

[Kadoles]

Not sure where i should post this but...
I'm playing r987 and the notes-history patch is there while your playing but it doesn't get written when you do a char dump.

is this intentional or a bug?
