FAangband 2.0.0

[Nick]

FAangband 2.0.0 is now available for Windows, MacOS and as source. The official site is here.

For those unfamiliar with it, FAangband was originally forked from Oangband, and developed until around 2014 with version 1.4.4. Development was restarted in 2020, with a rewrite aimed at re-implementing the best features of original FAangband but based on the latest Angband code base.

Since this version is heavily based on Angband there are way too many people to thank here, but I would like to mention:

• Arralen
• backwardsEric
• Cuboideb (Diego Gonzalez)
• David Medley
• dhouseholder
• EugeneLesnov
• Gwarl
• HolyRage
• Ingwe Ingweron
• jevansau
• kheldar
• MITZE
• Rodent/Sideways/sulkasormi
• Sacksquatch
• wobbly

for specific FA_related help.

Please play, enjoy and report bugs - there will be plenty

Thanks Nick! Been looking forward to this one for a while! Question: where would you like me to report crashes related to the Android port? Should I report them here or to Diego? I am having a recurring crash in Amon Rudh level 15 when trying to recall back to my home. Just got to Amon Rudhm, my home is in Belegost and I have 1 more portal to Khazad Dum. When using a scroll of word of recall, it asks me what recall point I want to replace and I select "nowhere" and then as soon as I get the message saying I'm getting yanked back home, the game crashes. I'll post this in the Android thread too, apologies if this is Android specific, not sure what the cause is, Android or source.

Here is good, but probably to Diego too. Do you have a savefile?

[tg122]

I do. It's an Android save file, is this still useful to you?

[Cuboideb]

The savefile is the same. Sources are almost equal.

[tg122]

Savefile attached. Edit: watch out for the umber hulk lurking around the corner. My character doesn't have much in the form of reliable escape techniques yet.

[Cuboideb]

I loaded the savefile into gdb in windows 15 times. I got a report of heap corruption once. 1020 bytes were allocated.

Three tries at loading it on macOS didn't turn up a problem. Setting a watchpoint on the address range for load.c's square_size might help diagnose this, if its value is overwritten by something after being assigned in rd_dungeon().
