Is there an option for this?
|
| |
I've noticed on NAO, when I do something like "n 50 ." and the
MMF appears, the character keeps on sitting there stupidly
until 50 turns are done.. This to me is new (within the last
year or so) and I don't see it on my local version. I use to do this "n 50 ." a lot to quickly recover from a fight, and I... more »

NAO: highlight floating eyes
|
| |
Floating eyes don't show up very well on my nethack client for NAO. They are dark like the background and I rarely can see them. Please tell me the defaults.nh code to make them highlight pink or something.

Finally an orcish ranger
|
| |
Finally I succeeded! - I ascended the last role/race combination that was
still outstanding in my record of NAO games; an orcish ranger.
The problem was that I am playing only randomly selected characters, and
it took a really long time to get that combination, and then not spoil the
game. On NAO I had killed four of them already and now the 5th one selected... more »

YAFAP Duncan-Wiz-Elf-Mal-Cha (Very Long Post)
|
| |
This is the quest of Duncan, a gifted wizard that Ascended to Demigodhood
after a frankly FUN game. It was played on an Android port on my phone
during a whole week. My first Ascension after 8 months of playing.
Damn me HARD if this is not the BEST game I have ever played, and I have
played a whole bunch of them from the dawn of Gaming Time.... more »

shurikens
|
| |
I read a post in here maybe eight months ago about how shurikens were not generated by the random number generator. I see them around often enough. Can anyone expound on this? Are shurikens not guaranteed by some generation method? If not, how do they appear on the occasions that they do?... more »

YAAD - Want to sue the canning company...
|
| |
Howdy,
My latest lycanthrope is dead - long live the (next) lycanthrope. This one was well on his way to ascension, having found a large jewelry store on level 3. I was eventually able to lift not only poly control but also free action (though no slow digestion) from it (and pay the shopkeeper to identify it as well). This seems to have burst the dam of polymorph control; I found three more rings of poly control before even starting the Quests. (Which, of course, means that I won't find another for dozens of games.)... more »

A rainy day
|
| |
Mine-town was a quadruple(!) bones level; the bones contained three
pairs of snow boots, each worth 50 zorkmids. As it turned out they
were - of course no speed boots but water walking. A rainy day it
seems, for those deceased characters...

Killed while hiding from thunderstorm? (NAO)
|
| |
I wonder whether "killed by an air elemental, while hiding
from thunderstorm" just means that you had been engulfed by
an air elemental? Or is that message maybe only effective
while paralysed by a lightning bolt?

The nethack wiki seems to imply that neither martial arts nor bare hands receive any boost from gauntlets of power. The boost is supposedly reserved for wielded or thrown weapons. And it is a significant distinction: a +3 to hit and +6 damage at the 18/**–25 strength the gauntlets deliver. My own practical, albeit anecdotal experience disputes the wiki. My current weenie tourist wielding bare hands enjoyed a huge jump in power and damage when he stumbled across some gauntlets in a store. Who is right? Perhaps some code maven can shed some light on this question...... more »

Arggh! Bug or feature? (SLASH'EM)

(polymorphed into a fire vampire)
You kill the ice troll!
But wait...the ice troll turns into a chickatrice!
You bite the chickatrice.
You turn to stone.
You die.
A bit of explanation is warranted here. In SLASH'EM, monster polymorph works similar to player polymorph. If you kill a polymorphed monster, it reverts to its original form. It's part of what makes chameleons, doppelgängers, and werecreatures so dangerous. It makes the game tougher, but adds flavor and consistency, not unlike crushed bacon bits.... more »
