Zaimoni.com Angband variant mirror

[zaimoni]

It's up, two days ahead of schedule. The *.tar.bz2 contains the rest of the mirror.

Known gaps are as mentioned in the other thread.

Congrats, that's great work. When you say rest of the mirror, do you mean that the variants listed are not contained in the tarball, or that they are (along with the rest)?

I didn't see sCthangband there... would you mind adding it? If I recall it has some nice updates/bugfixes to the old Cthangband code:

The rest of the directory was decompressed from the tarball. If you download the *.tar.bz2, you have everything. [Currently Angband.ref.20100726.tar.bz2, but that file name will change with each update.]

Oh, I get it.

Sorry for the noise.

The directory name mutated. I'll correct this at the next material update (which might be a while).

Could you link to the other thread in your original post? Then we could sticky this thread...

Done, although there may be better ways to maintain the "current known gaps" information.

*.tar files for updating the Zaimoni.com Angband archive have been constructed. (ToME 4 gets its very own tarball this time; seems that FAT32 partitions don't like files above 4GB.)

bzip2 -z9 *.tar running now; ETA for refreshing the archive to Jan. 30 2011 status is 3-4 days.

Thanks to Hans Engström for resuscitating several gaps in the online coverage for me, most notably sCthband .

ToME4 is >4GB? wtf??

[Pete Mack]

Indeed, wtf? That's 1000x larger than the average 'band, even with 32x32 tiles.

[zaimoni]

ToME 4 (first 18 releases, lagging one release there) is 3.58 GB decompressed; all other *bands combined are 3.38 GB decompressed.

The resulting combined tar obviously is too large for FAT32; I noticed because the external hard drive I'm using to build the tar is a FAT32.

[zaimoni]

IThat's 1000x larger than the average 'band, even with 32x32 tiles.

A ToME4 release is ~100x larger than a normal band release. The nearest competitor are the recent Unangband releases, but ToME4 is still ~7x larger than that.

Zaimoni, is there any chance we can get Ironband into the next release? Would be much appreciated

Ironband is already is in the tarball, yes.
