Nabble - SLASH'EM

Since when does SDSM bump spell failure by 45%?

2009-06-23T05:56:04Z

My Vampire Chaotic Wizard wished in SDSM (Silver Dragon Scale Mail) nice and early, put it on, got a major happy for all of 5 seconds... and then realized I couldn't reliably cast ANYTHING anymore. When did that happen?? All spoilers/resources/etc seem to claim that Dragon Scale doesn't jinx wizards' spell failure.

Tried without wearing anything else, with cloak, without weapons, etc. - same thing. Wasn't hungry, wasn't burdened, wasn't cursed, wasn't unlucky. All stats were high, including highlights like 18 int, 18 wis, and a whopping 24 str.

Short of a version change no one warned about, I cannot seem to find any other reason for this issue.

What gives?

The admin for the system needs to run recover (supplied with Slash'EM).
I guess that means you need to talk to whoever runs slashem.de.

Hello,

it's Sat Jun 20 19:44:24 CEST 2009 and I'm in trouble deep. After a
'flickering' Console, there seems to be no way to continue my game:
"There is already a game in progress under your name. Destroy old game?
[yn]" is the message. Beeing not interested in destroying my game my
choice is 'n'. The result is "Connection to slashem.de closed."

I hope there is a way to rescue and I will 'gratefully accept your

Hi Xavier,

I myself am quite busy with the real life currently, but I'm sure that
at some point I'll find time to contribute to Slash'EM once again.
Biggest obstacle currently for me is that I lost my development
environment in hard drive crash and haven't built it together again.
But now it might be good time to start building a new one. :D

Greetings,

Pekka

Hey, I got the proof that it's alive at some points by getting 2 answers ;)

I have asked this question since the debian package has been orphaned. I think I
will adopt it and then be the new debian maintainer of slashem.

Yes, most definitely alive.

I can't really speak for the other developers but I can take guess:
all the developers work is furious little pieces everytime the whim
takes them or when they have the time. If a serious flaw is found
you're sure to find a patch quite quickly. I'm guessing it's been

You play well! I always die in slashem before I can find any lich.

Yes, lich is hard to hit. I looked up "lich" in the slashem bestiary
for you. The result was at
http://slashem.crash-override.net/bestiary/lich.html

There it says: "needs +2 weapon to hit". You need to be enchanting your
weapons. If your Excalibur was at least +2 then your attacks should
have worked.

Yep, that would have been it, it was a long time before I managed to identify the enchant weapon scroll. Unfortunately I somehow managed to get myself butted to death by a mastodon in a zoo of some sort, they hit HARD!

The weapon enchantment is both a to-hit bonus and a to-damage bonus.
Now normally your #enhanced weapon skills, plus Excalibur's artifact
to-hit bonus, would let you hit anything! But slashem added the "needs
+n weapon to hit" restriction on a few monsters, so you have to enchant
your weapons. This is one complication that vanilla nethack players
never worried about.

But if you had hit, then the fact that you had a second weapon and they
both were blessed should have caused extra damage to that annoying
undead lich.

Liches

2008-09-14T14:54:23Z

Hi there,

I'd been playing Nethack for a while and wanted to try Slash'em for the excitement of all the new monsters and items etc.

So far I'm finding it much harder, which is a good thing! One major problem I'm having, though, is Liches. Nothing I do seems to touch them. At the moment I've got a Valkyrie two weaponing a blessed Excalibur and a blessed silver sabre, and when i hit a Lich it just tells me that my attack didn't seem to harm the lich. Meanwhile they're summoning all kinds of things and cursing my stuff.

Any tips?

Hello,

I'd like to try and play as a Yeoman. I've heard it's a challenge to play with this class (something similar to the Knight). Any advice about how to play it, the pros and cons, the best wishes & pets for him, weapons and artifacts, etc.? (I've posted this same message in the classic Nethack Newsgroup in Usenet, but it seems there's no many Slashers hangin' 'round there) :)

Thanks in advance,

Oh, but it does, just look at your keyboard:
y u
hjkl
bn

h - left (because it's the leftmost)
j - down (looks like a line going down)
k - up (the one that remains)
l - right (because it's the rightmost)

y - up-left
u - up-right
b - down-left
n - down-right

Putting your right fingers on hjkl makes the assignment intuitive and usable
on laptops :-)

Ideas, yet no skill and less patience to learn to code them...

2008-04-22T18:58:51Z

I recently grabbed Vulture's Claw after ascending a few times in vanilla NetHack. I have a lot of ideas for new items/classes/levels (especially levels)... but I'm not wired to program (indeed, looking at code makes my brain fall out of my head and I have the patience of a gnat). I have about $200-$400 set aside, which I would be willing to part with if someone is interested in building a new variant.

I really don't pay attention to mailing lists, so if anyone is interested let me know via email (d4d6d8d10d12d20@hotmail.com), AIM (Succubus Rydia) or if anyone bothers, Second Life (Xymbers Slade).

And now to make a new character, seeing I just now died at the bottom of the mines.

I was just expecting the letters to be arranged in a sequence on the keyboard that made more sense. I figured out how to toggle the number_pad option through the gui menus, but unless I can find the options file, I have to reset it each time. most frustrating.

But not frustrating enough to destroy the fun of SlashEm. :)

You need to change this in the options file. I had a quick look at the
Ubuntu packages, but I couldn't find where they have put it. You might
need to read the documentation they include with the package to find
how they are expecting you to set options.

Sure, just use 't' followed by one of the letters from the pad you so
carefully transcribed above. You can toggle the setting of the keypad
mode and use numbers instead of letters which some people find easier;
but be aware that this is really inconvenient on laptops. (We use eight
keys because there are eight directions. It takes a bit of getting used
to, but you will loose many turns if you only move and fight
orthogonally.)

Ali.

keypad for throwing

2008-03-05T14:53:58Z

Just started playing Slashem (GTK) again, it's been a long time since my last game.
I'm using Slashem GTK on Ubuntu 7.10 straight from the repository.

I'm running into the following two strange setup problems that I don't remember having when I was running under windows.

1st: When I set up the display to use big tiles, (game/options/misc/Map Visual=big tiles) it lasts for that one game. BUT, the setting is forgotten as soon as you save and when you restart the game, the Map Visual is back to character mode.

2nd: I can move with the keypad just fine, but whenever I attempt to throw, it pops up a menu with a really odd letter pad

YKU
H.L
BJN

Huh? I mean, I can click on the pad and it will work just fine. But the key arrangement is certainly counter intuitive, and what I would PREFER to use is just the keypad for throwing, same as I'm using for walking. is that possible?

Um, hello. I recently found your game Slash'Em and I am enjoying it immensely. Your take on Nethack with the new classes, races, dungeons and monsters is amazing. However, I have one problem. I run a Windows XP, and when I try to play Slash'Em with the 3D Big Tiles [Allegro], the window size is larger than my screen. And as such, I cannot see anything in the Text Box. So basically I cannot see what items Im picking up, what monster is attacking me, etc etc. I've tried changing it with Rightclick/Properties on the icon in the Toolbar, but it changes nothing. I've also tried to use the GTK server for Slash'Em, and it runs fine on there, but it is much too slow. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix it?

Thank you.

p.s. sorry if my terms confuse you, I am not very computer savvy.

I fear you may have to. I certainly have no idea. It may be worth
documenting the controls somewhere if you do. Not quite sure where mind
you ...

Patch 1870830 - find SDL.h, png.h when building win/gl with sys/autoconf

2008-01-13T18:44:03Z

To the readers of slashem-devel:

The win/gl directory contains the SDL interface to slashem. I decided
to try it as an experiment, so I grabbed a cvs checkout and passed
--enable-sdl-graphics to configure, and I expected the autoconf build
system to configure the build for my OpenBSD machine.

Then the build failed! The compiler found neither SDL.h, nor png.h! So
I slashed the sys/autoconf build system until it would find my SDL.h
and png.h, and I posted my modifications as patch #1870380 to
SourceForge, along with an explanation of my changes.

Shortcut to SourceForge: http://xrl.us/1870830

Meanwhile, I want to learn about controls and options for the SDL
interface. They seem undocumented? So far, I found that I could press
PageUp/PageDown to zoom, and press End to toggle the text map. I do not
know how to try the isometric tileset, or leave full-screen mode. I may
try source-diving for answers.

Somehow, it seems that my message from this week-end wasn't sent :-(
[actually, I do suspect a reply to the sender instead of the list... sorry
if I did that]

Anyway, I was saying that I did ported the patch to a not-too-old version
of Slash'em (7E7F1, iirc), by that time, it was the newest version...
It should work also with 7E7F2 without major changes and is probably
closer to 8E0 than older stuff...
You can get it from :
http://bamges.free.fr/Slashem/

I play with it, I experience some bugs which may come from here or not (I
also play with several other patches).
There is a not critical bug about having the breath message even if you
don't see your pet breathing.

I currently have no time to work on it, either for porting further to 8E0
or for debugging, but if anyone wants to do the job, feel free to use what
I've already done.

I actually had applied the "Ranged" patch to an
earlier version of nethack/slashem, but did not have
the time (or, perhaps, experience) to update the
"ranged" patch to the latest version. However, if it
came down to play-testing, I would definitely
contribute time and whatever other work that is within
my capabilities to help out!

Just to be clear for those of us who don't quite follow the above: CVS
trunk contains the current development version (ie., 0.0.8 at present).
The phlegethon branch is an experimental branch that may be merged into
trunk once I finish it and propose it on slashem-devel. It would be
possible to create an experimental branch for the pet patch if it
needed some work before being proposed (Kernigh's play testing), but it
sounds like it could be proposed on slashem-devel pretty much as soon
as somebody spent the time porting it to the current development
version (or CVS head). The point of an experimental branch is so that
we can get a proposal to a suitable state before proposing it. Bugs
that don't get in the way of deciding whether we should merge or not
can simply be fixed after merging with CVS trunk.

Cheers,

Ali.

I think that pet ranged attacks would work well with SLASH'EM.

But first, a volunteer would have to port the relevant code from the
Intelligent Pet Patch [259] or from GruntHack [261] to a CVS checkout of
slashem, then email the cvs diff to slashem-devel. Then other volunteers
could play with that slashem pet patch.

[259] http://bilious.homelinux.org/?259
[261] http://bilious.homelinux.org/?261

The slashem pet patch would then join the slashem biodiversity patch (from
slashem-devel October 2007) and the SLASHEM_PHLEGETHON branch in CVS. We
should play-test and develop all this code until we are ready to merge it
into the CVS main trunk. (The trunk contains the latest bug fixes and
user-interface changes.) Eventually, a development release from trunk would
include the slashem pet patch.

I want to be play-testing, but first I need to improve my general slashem
skills. In my most recent game, a goblin killed me on dungeon level 1. This
may take some time...

Pet Ranged Attacks in a Future Version of SLASH'EM?

Does anyone know if ranged attacks will make it into any future releases of slashem or nethack?

Re: Graphics for "Vulture's Claw" (Slash'em)

2008-01-01T21:41:10Z

slashem-discuss seems to the be de facto the Vulture's mailing list.

On Sunday 30 December 2007 10:48:14 am Darth Nepharious wrote:

Today, I introduced myself to Vulture's and did some source-diving. The
process, of add graphics, does not seem to have documentation (though I might
have missed it).

The file vultures/util/tilespec.c seems to be of importance. For example, it
contains a line:
OBJECT("HELMET", "object1.png", 4, 1),

This seems to refer to vultures/gamedata/graphics/tilesrc/object1.png column 4
row 1. If I open object1.png and look at the purple squares, counting the
first column and row as zero, then I see a helmet at 4, 1.

So if I wanted to add a "dented pot" graphic, I might open object7.png and
draw a dented pot at 5, 4 (which is now empty). Then I would open tilespec.c
and add to struct tiledef tiledefinitions[] a line:
OBJECT("DENTED_POT", "object7.png", 5, 4),

And in the struct eqmap tilemap[] array I would delete the line:
{T_OBJECT, "DENTED_POT", "HELMET"},

Then if I remake Vulture's, the dented pots might look like dented pots
instead of helmets. (I have not tried this yet.)
