PosChengband 7.3.5

[JoseMachete]

Hello, new here but long time player of the game. Recently got latest release of PSB. Any way of switch the display of walls to a more traditional "#" instead of solid blocks? Thank you in beforehand.
PS: cannot code or compile to save my life :/

Sadly, AFAICT there doesn't seem to be a way to do this without doing fuckery with the code and then recompiling; there's an alter visuals section in-game, but it only seems to let you change monster and object glyphs for some reason, and I don't see like an edit file that lets you change the glyphs of terrain (which is weird because I'm pretty sure there used to be one).

Hi, I have no idea of why or how, but now it seems to be displaying the same plain block style as old Zangband, which is ok. This morning I downloaded a copy of ComposBand and the walls are the 'normal' hashtags. Then I did a bit of research and I found out PosChengband is somehow 'included' in Composite Angband? Is that correct? Feels like I could be at home finally with Compos, looks and plays lovely. Also pouring some hours into Z+, which displays oldschool #s too and takes Zangband one step further.

Compos is a fork of PosCheng, but not the latest PosCheng—I can't quite recall right now, I think it forked from and after PosCheng v7.0 but before PosCheng was heavily reworked and refactored?

If you're looking for the "latest" in this lineage, that'd be FrogComposband; also you can play all this online at, well, here (click on the Home tab at the top—accounts are created by simply inputting a username and password, if the used username doesn't already exist it'll be created with the password you put in alongside it).

I appreciate you mentioning it, as I'm aware the 7.3.5 PosCheng that I got is more recent, if I'm not mistaken. Hence my doubt about displaying it with my fav traditional looks, rather than the blocks. Thank you very much for the info (^^)7
