    PWMAngband 1.2.0 released

    For those unfamiliar with PWMAngband, it's a multiplayer real-time variant of Angband based on MAngband 1.1.4 with additions from ToME (features from the time it was still called PernAngband, but without the Pern references) and a few personal additions: new races, classes, monsters and items.

    This release is a major release… without major content

    See http://powerwyrm.monsite-orange.fr for the downloads.

    On a side note, MAngband forums are back up, so I will also post the release there.

    To play on a PWMAngband server or start your own server, download the binaries and unzip the files (client and server are both in the same zip file now). And enjoy!

            when look at terrain objects (l -> p) it show objects names... and in tileset there are loads of objects with names like eg:
            'obj_grass r provision'
            'obj_grass s provision'
            'obj_grass t provision'
            this is 3 different graphical tiles

            so (l -> p) show such names:



            Is it possible to implement: to show desc. field for 'look' command for terrain objects? so for example, when player look at obj_grass t provision, game would show this: A pile of goods and provision.

            it would be fun to show terrain objects description, cause it could show lore, eg

            HTML Code:
            name:obj_grass i graves
            graphics:::s
            priority:18
            flags:LOS | PROJECT | PASSABLE | TORCH
            desc:A tiny graves.. Looks like halflings buried there.
            
            name:obj_grass c sealed portal
            graphics:::s
            priority:18
            flags:NO_SCENT | NO_FLOW | TORCH
            desc:A sealed portal. How to get inside?
            p.s.
            ideally databases should have ID (for DB only purposes) and 'name'.. we got the same value for both cases.

                Ok, found the problem. The terrain "floor d hills" is exactly number 256 in the f_info feature array. This means somewhere there's some coordinates stored in a "byte", so instead of feature 256 it loops back to feature 0. i'll fix that.

                      PWMagband on Ubuntu

                      Hello there!

                      I wanted to ask if anyone managed to install PWMangband on ubuntu / linux?
                      I found a thread about it, but it didn't seem to have a conclusion (or no good one) and is from 2016.

                      Great job, will install the new version. And it would be perfect if I could setup a permanent server
