[Norseband] Alpha version for Windows is here at last!

[ISNorden]

Thanks to a lot of help and brainstorming with my coder-friend Zop,
Norseband is finally moving forward as a standalone variant. We're
still working on some major changes like de-Tolkienizing the god code
and magic system; still, there's a playtest-ready alpha release of
Norseband available at the variant homepage...

Note to Mac users: I'll have a compatible version available for you
as soon as someone's willing and able to compile the source code.

Enjoy and good luck!

Do we need to download something related to lua also to play the game because I get a bunch of errors when I try to run the game on windows xp?

I'll let Zop know you're having problems; could you quote some of the error messages here, please?

Sure ! I get about 10 or so messages that go like this

Ahhh, I think Zop discovered the problem a few minutes ago: my upload was using old Lua files that contained material we'd gotten rid of. My site now has the updated Lua scripts in the zip file; feel free to download and give it a shot!

OK...since it's just one player-fixable file, I'll see about fixing that myself and uploading the result. Thanks!


Update: A version with the corrected al_info file is now available. Please tell me if you spot any other bugs...

Well for starters there was no ini file in the package. When I added a dummy ini file the program started but gave the following errors

OK, let me see about fixing the p_info problem; all the info files may have small mistakes while I reorganize and replace some old material, but in the meantime I hope to keep things playable.
