I think ascii ends up easier to recognise things, particularly monsters, once you are used to it.

JawnV6 posted:I have a barbarian at level 12, just found the quest entrance in the big room. I skipped minetown though, couldn't find the entrance and just pushed ahead. Should I go back and look for it, use some wands of digging? I'm missing some essential tools (blindfold, boh, key), and my AC is a little higher than I'd like. You can't dig to get to the mines as far as I am aware. You'll need to find the stairs, they will be somewhere.

JawnV6 posted:I know I can't dig into the mines themselves. There are a few blank spots on dlvl 2-4, I meant to imply digging to those since a few hundred turns of searching all of the walls got me nothing. Sorry for the confusion. Oh okay, in that case, you won't have to dig to find the entrance, searching will eventually find a passage to another room on one of the levels.

JawnV6 posted:Right, sure, yeah, but I'd rather just zap a few times into the spots on the map I know rooms could be rather than sit around watching the turn counter go up a few hundred again. Fair enough, I'd rather save my digging wands for Elbereth and digging down through gehennom. But either is fine

Shady Amish Terror posted:I've also gotten to the end of Sokoban to find an empty Elbereth square as my reward, before. The door was still shut and everything. And I'm pretty sure it was the Bag of Holding layout, so I don't think there's even any monster that would pick it up. Elves and peaceful monsters (amongst other things) don't respect Elbereth so one of them probably took it.

From waking the Wizard I think most people will levelport down the the vibrating square level if they can. Might save having to face the wizard an extra couple of times. Also, I learnt just now that wielding a mirror does not reflect lightning. Sigh.

Who does this? It is really not that hard. Also I thought you couldn't levelport with the amulet?

McNerd posted:Same with me, but this is one reason I'll never be a championship Nethack player. To play a flawless game of Nethack requires this degree of patience in the face of extreme tediousness that I can't imagine stomaching. So if anybody wants to know how much they should use Elbereth, the correct answer is "As much as you can without putting a gun to your head." Or alternatively use my much-more-fun criterion: "When you're scared as poo poo." Spamming Elbereth is much less tedious when it is bound to a single key stroke (hello interhack).

Ledneh posted:Is there any way at all to get that Portable Ubuntu stuff working on a 64 bit system? I really wanna use Interhack but everything I've seen so far says "nope, no can do" Not at the moment. The work around is to install ubuntu in VirtualBox (or vmware but virtual box is free) then install interhack from there.

Contra Duck posted:Yeah but being an atheist priest is so close to playing any other priest that it barely counts as a conduct. That's like saying that a weaponless monk is so close to playing any other monk that it barely counts as a conduct. Wait...

McNerd posted:Is the DevTeam still working? We've been on 3.4.3 since 2003; I assumed we'd never see another version. I've had replies from the devs for the couple of bugs I've reported within the last year so they are still alive and vaguely interested at least.

Argon_Sloth posted:They also have a set of challenge patches. The introduce a new one every year. Essentially each challenge makes the game more broken until you complete a related task. Challenges only affect your play if accepted. They'll be offered to you when you encounter the aspect of the game they make more difficult. Fixed that for you.

MadDuck posted:I decided to try this game for the first time after reading this thread for so long, and reading everything in the readme and keeping the wiki by my side constantly. It's so very odd, but I think you get to a point of playing that starvation never seems to become an issue. I can't remember the last time I had a character die due to starvation (or eating something poisonous out of desperation). Actually looking on nao it was three and a half years ago.

..btt posted:I have no experience of VirtualBox, though, so for all I know it could be a lot more usable. VirtualBox is pretty good, I use it at work and have used it for interhack. I did have an issue with window size and mouse visibility but finding a solution was pretty simple and worked. Other than that everything was very straight forward.

victrix posted:Wait... there's still a devteam of some sort working on this? I thought Nethack was 'complete' and long dead, with only variants still being developed. As recently as 3 years ago I got a reply from a dev team member saying that a bug I discovered had been fixed as part of fixing another symptom of the same bug. Also two years before that. Of course people are still working on it. Just very, very slowly
