Yes, you cannot use passwords longer than 15 characters.

Dunno what you did, but I've been able to play without lag today. Awesome...

Only thing is... you enabled static dungeon towns on your server, which feels very strange. This is usually an option for ironman settings where you cannot recall back to town at 0ft to restock, so you get every 750ft a chance to buy and sell stuff. Well this lets see the awesome dungeon town layouts...

Server is up to Date, on Build7 :-)

I am looking to set up a custom mangband server. I havent done this since 2000 and the code I picked up from wayback machine and mangband.org is not what I remember playing exactly not to mention buggy right out of the box.

I am going to be looking at the PWMAngband code and see if maybe it can serve my needs. I am worried it might be quite beyond what I am looking for, but sometimes that can be a good thing. 8)

If it works out, I will likely end up hosting a "vanilla" PWMAngband server and a custom variant 24/7 for a long time to come. If you are interested in giving some advice to an old coder who wants to mod the items, ego items, arts, monsters, races, and classes....well that would go a long way in swaying me to use your code.

You don't need to code to change any of those at this point in time. They're all in config files.

How hard would it be to remove the town wall and change the graphics back to the block walls?

Hmm, there should be no town wall unless you set TOWN_WALL = true in mangband.cfg. And block walls are enabled like in vanilla Angband by setting "solid_walls" on in the option menu.

I was checking out someone else's server. I want to play it a bit and see what it has to offer. I will try the graphic option, thanks! I wonder if that would work in my mobile version of Angband... 8)

I am sure I will have lots of questions soon.

[TheHairyOne]

...or sooner.

Did you do away with IM_[Resist]? I noticed it is missing from The One Ring and the Elven Rings.

Bugs?

I get 0 gold for selling unID'd items. Appropriate shops will not offer to buy ID'd items.

Just currious, how stable is the code at this point? Is there a previous version that is more stable that I should be looking into?

Are there write-ups on the new classes that have been added since Mangband?

Do you have no-selling turned on? It's a birth option (hit '=' when creating your character). To compensate for not being able to sell items for cash, you get larger money drops in the dungeon; the net effect is that you get roughly the same amount of cash as if you were selling items, but you don't have to keep lugging crap back to town.

So much to learn!
