Angband for Android 10 (volunteers needed)

[joeljpa]

Fixed. But, the short mode is based on Vanilla. I dont know if it's useful for Sil.

Thanks! it works. Confirmed and tested on my side. Personally, it still retains 50% of its usability and Sil way lesser important commands than Angband I find. What little was missing, I used your awesome add floating button feature I was fully set to go... I reached Morgoth, went just one floor above to escape but he killed me hehe. The default of keeping it to the user's choice like how I remember it being in vanilla seems the best.

I renamed the app. Let me know if it updates correctly on your devices.

Perfect, I read the Play Store description also.

It's good to see you again!

Thanks! but this will be fleeting too hehe.

One last thing.

I've also encountered a problem that is a bit of an embarrassment. So originally played just a lot of vanilla when you released it and when you added the variants in the update, I wasn't playing at the time. Then I started playing Sil recently but didn't know that your profile feature would be needed here. Only read your help page later about it.

I simply completely overdid my vanilla keymaps and put my Sil-q ones along with the floating buttons. Now I'm at an impasse. Say I get back to playing vanilla in the future, I'll have to again overdo everything (vanilla's own keymaps and even floating buttons). I can't create a separate profile because Sil-q has my highscores and creating a profile creates another new one. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've tinkered around with the profiles only a bit. My vanilla highscore list, I need too. And both are associated with the "default" profile thanks to what I did.

Is there any way out of this?

The profiles are game specific. I dont use ribbons, so cant help you on that.

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for keeping the Angband Android version up to date. This is the best mobile port of any roguelike i've ever seen in my opinion.

[Cuboideb]

Thank you!

A new version is uploading, with more ribbon bindings for Sil-Q. These days I'm trying to get past 400 ft

[tg122]

Not sure if this is already known but the tile multiplier doesn't appear to be working in Sil-q.

[Cuboideb]

Tiles in sil cant be bigger than 2x1. I think. The behavior of the port is intentional

i might be down!

Thanks very much for this excellent port.
Having been playing a Dwarf Paladin for a couple of days when I have a chance, I'd like to ask if it would be possible for any of the following improvements to be made - I think some at least may not be possible without changes to core vanilla source so :shrug:

* In the inventory, it would save a bunch of space if we could choose to abolish the item type in the listings. Instead of "5 scrolls of Treasure Detection" it could just say "5 Treasure Detection" or if you wanted an identifier, the ASCII symbol would work well. "! Heroism" "~ 5x Treasure Detection". mini militia apk

* Can we move the status bar (displays Level feeling, Hunger stsus, buffs/conditions etc) to the top of the screen? it's currently somewhat obscured under my ribbon bar which I have at high opacity.

* This may be a bad attempt at keymapping, but I have a keymap for casting 2 spells - m1am1f (I've also tried m1a\e\em1f ) but the keymap only triggers the first spell (in fact the button text on the keymap only displays m1a too - am I missing something here?)

Once again, great port; really impressed; thanks for getting me back to playing Angband after quite a gap.

You can't do this in the windows port either. It was possible in the early 00's. Sorry. BTW, the button displays three characters but all of them are used when performing the action.

I just poked at this, and it looks like the spell’s message eats the rest of the input. If the first spell doesn’t give a message, the second goes off. IMO, this is a bug.

On my Nexus 6, the difference between a minimally sized and maximally sized floating button is neglible. Maxing out the size bar still results in a button that is smaller than the buttons in the picker. Is this usual?

[tg122]

One thing I've noticed with Sil-q is that the game doesn't automatically save when you quit the game via the quick settings quit command. I'm not sure if this is known or not but I figured I'd mention it because I just lost a little bit of progress because I forgot to manually save before quitting. I believe V and FAangband automatically save when you quit.

[Cuboideb]

Thanks for the report. Can you confirm if the game is saved when you "sweep close" the app?

[tg122]

Yeah I think so. It saves when I bring up the natural sil-q menu and select save and quit. It also saves when I just minimize the app without closing it.

I agree with your post.

Hey Cuboideb, it's incredible to see that your project has been going strong for almost three years!

I have an issue, the last I played was in 2020-2021 and I usually backup my game data for game apps using adb. I restore it when I move to a new device or format my phone. It worked for this too. Maybe I even did it once in 2022 in my phone, but didn't play. Now when I try, it fails. I don't seel my character saved file (Angband vanilla) or high scores. Ditto for Sil (however, I do get some error saying it can't find a character file before starting anew).

Any suggestions?

So far, I was thinking I'd download the older versions of the app, salvage my highscore list and save file from it and try "applying" it to the latest version by copying whatever files I get.
