    Everything about this wonderful variant --- UnAngband!

    However, how do I setup new threads inside this one?

    I think you have to politely email Pav and ask for a Variant sub-forum for Unangband.

    In the meantime, lets discuss the merits of various Angband variants.

      Just post threads here and honor the nice r.g.r.a tradition to embed [Un] in the thread topic. If I see a lot of threads about a single variant, I'll create it separate subforum as reward.

          I haven't played Un in about 5 years or so... since very early on. How is it doing these days?

            [Un] Re: status

            The documentation lags behind much more than ever, I guess. Bugginess level nominal. LOTS of new features, I mean, even for UnAngband, so it's pretty UnBalanced. Other than that, pure fun, as long as you can read source code or get game-play help from any other source, e.g. from this forum.

            Oh, and the Glorious Maintainer now has a plausible excuse for inactivity, since he's newly and happily married, as is apparent on the forum photo. Surprisingly, he seems to be pretty active. Hmmm...

              I'm getting a dig in the ribs at the moment so I'll have to turn in soon

              It doesn't help that berios.de is down all the time. But I'm trying to play my own variant more, so will naturally work on the balance side of things + bugginess.

              I've always been a new feature kinda guy.

              I don't think I'll ever scale to Pernband heights of unbalance however. But I try...

                What are the plans about that? Some time ago Sourceforge was also quite fussy; I don't know how it's now. When Un is fully GPLed, Savannah will be an option. Anything else?

                  If you're interested in becoming an Atheme.org project, I can arrange for hosting and etc. Alternatively, I can set up a Wiki or something on Dreamhost, and we can go from there. [Be warned: I will only install Mantis if you ask for a bugtracker; I hate the rest.]

                      congratulations to Andrew!

                      have to say that Un is one of the most arresting *bands i've played in the year i've played bands ....

                      sadly, that Nazgul Rheal LyhF has been stealing my Unangband life force....

                      here's to hoping for a great lively future for Un ... and ALL other *bands ... new and old !

                        Hi, and thanks, friendly Brit, for a great variant.

                        I'm confused, though. I just came back and DL'd this thing to play again after a long time away, and correct me if I'm wrong, but did it change recently? (I'm playing 0.6.0) ... My favorite feature was the ability to alter my weapons with potions and whatnot, but either (a) I'm too clueless to figure out how again, or (b) I'm remembering a completely different variant, or (c) it's been removed. Can anyone clarify? Can I be going senile already? I still get carded for beer!

                        Thanks,
                        B

                          You need to apply the potion to the weapon. Its either 'y' or '^G' in the roguelike key set.

                          We're up to 0.6.2 work in progress releases. 0.6.0 is quite old and may not have that feature. The main website (unangband.berlios.de) looks like its up again, so you should be able to follow the links to the downloads from there.

                            Ah, that is surely it, then. I just picked up mine from a site called Furytech, where 0.6.0 is the most current (non-beta) release. I'll do as you suggest for the most recent.

                            Cheers,
                            B

                              One further thought: As I'm playing through your WIP, would you find it helpful if I were to take note of any bugs I discover? Or would that be a repugnant nuisance? I acknowledge in advance that nobody's paying you for your labor of love, and I would take no umbrage at all if such reports were ignored, discouraged, spat upon, or whatever. So be honest. It just seems to me like the only available way to do my part for a product I enjoy.
