It's even sensible from a role-playing perspective. BTW, the current travel food consumption is so toned-down that most newbies will not even notice before Rivendell, I guess.
    Okay. Lets go this way. The 'need to be full' pre-requisite is probably a bit harsh anyway for starving adventurers fleeing the dungeon anyways...

      Hehe. You are a real EMFH (Google seems to misunderstand that acronym, of course it's for Evil Maintainer From Hell).

        Compiling on ubuntu 7.10

        Hi. I managed to compile it on ubuntu 7.10, thanks for the instructions. I did the make -f Makefile.std in ./src. For the record here is what I had to install to get a binary in a relatively stock install of (K)ubuntu:
        sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev libx11-dev

        My problem is, when I try to execute it I get:
        bash: ./unangband: Permission denied

        any ideas?

            Sweet

            Decided to check the source out from svn. Compile worked the same except this time it actually ran!

            I've never played angband before (well i tried it once but I didn't inhale.) I've played some Nethack but not professionally. I think I'm in a pretty good position to do n00b-level testing. Any requests/suggestions etc ?

              Post your experiences/stories to the AAR forum, and dump your characters to the ladder.

              To do a character dump, command is 'C', then 'f'.

              If you really want to write a short review of the game after a couple of days, that'd be great

                Run it from above src/ via 'src/unangband'.

                  Thanks. As I mentioned above I managed to get it working by checking out the latest source from svn and compiling that.

                    You are welcome. But did you manage to get it to work with the packaged sources? It's quite important for us, because it would be nice to release wip7a with working sources...

                      Surely its not a case of where you run it from; its almost certain you install into a folder where the contained files don't get execute permissions, or perhaps you installed as root and ran as user?

                      After compiling, still inside src/ do:
                      Code:
                      mv unangband ../unangband
                      which will allow unangband to access the folders correctly, then just:
                      Code:
                      cd ../ && chmod a+x unangband
                      as pav suggested earlier.
                      If permission denied error occurs on chmod, then simply:
                      Code:
                      sudo chmod a+x unangband
                      If that doesn't work, then maybe you do have an issue - my system is also a fairly basic Kubuntu 7 install, but the more stable v7.04.

                        Ok, that's a good point. I've downloaded the wip7a sources. I'll give it a go at compiling and report back here.

                          Success with wip7a

                          First of all: I was complaining earlier about problems executing a compiled binary... turns out I was trying to execute it via an NFS share that was mounted without exec permissions. Go figure. So I'll do everything on one box from now on.

                          Anyhow, wip7a source download compiled and ran just fine using the instructions earlier in this thread, i.e:
                          Code:
                          >cd src
                          >make -f Makefile.std
                          >cp ./unangband ..
                          >cd ..
                          >./unangband
                          If you want a binary that definitely works on *buntu you can get it from my site: http://pedantic.co.za/unangband/

                            Thanks a lot!

                            BTW. Copying the executable is not necessary (but changing to the parent directory is). Just run it with 'src/unangband'.

                              Hi, I'm a newbie on these forums.

                              My reasons for not playing UnAngband are that the distributed executable for OSX only works on Intel, and when I downloaded the source, and typed in "make -f Makefile.osx", it compiled and created an executable, but when I launched it, it presented me an error "Cannot prepare menu bar!" and quit.

                              The console does not show anything unusual from UnAngband.app.

                                ID situation is too painful

                                * I don't like carrying a whole bunch of scrolls just to ID, or even pseudo-ID, stuff.
                                * Since the addition of the tower to Weathertop, the LOTR theme is just too hard.
                                * I don't like so many strictly themed dungeons. Themed levels are better. (I end up playing the questless version instead.)

                                And finally:
                                Too many variants.
