Angband: command line arguments?
Lei Wang
brief form the type, object, and command arguments for the list. I couldn't
find a similar file for Angband, and the only info that I have gotten has
come from the one-line display 'Usage: angband [-afnor] [-s<num>] [-u<name>]
[-w<uid>] [-d<num>]' and from looking at the source itself.
Just half an hour taken off for one of the authors of the game to create
such a file(based on moria.man) would make it a lot easier for many people...

There was a nice moria.man for all the Umoria games, and it listed in
brief form the type, object, and command arguments for the list. I couldn't
find a similar file for Angband, and the only info that I have gotten has
come from the one-line display 'Usage: angband [-afnor] [-s<num>] [-u<name>]
[-w<uid>] [-d<num>]' and from looking at the source itself.
I was wondering some of the same things myself (along with how to get it
to let me into wizard mode) and Sean helped me out. I don't know where
any of the authors find the time for all of this...
Anyway, here's what I have heard/figured out:
-a Peek mode. Tells you all object created on the level as well as
uniques, artifacts, and pits. Wizards only.
-f Fiddle mode. Allows you to recreate characters and make them
playable again. Wizards only.
-n New character??? Not sure exactly, but it allows you to create a
new character that will replace the one you were using. Once you
enter this option you are stuck with it. You can't Ctrl-C out of
the character generation process.
-o Original commands. Toggles your prefered keyboard definitions to
the original style. Will stay in original mode until -r option is
used.
-r Rogue-like commands. Toggles your prefered keyboard definitions
to Rogue-like style. Again, will stay until -o option is used.
-s<num>
Show only top-<num> scores in score list.
-u<name>
Use character named <name>. Allows for multiple characters to be
played by the same userid (I think)
-w<uid>
Wizard mode. The -w option, alone, puts you into user mode if your
userid matches one of those in the /lib/files/wizards file. The
<uid> argument can be used to specify a different save file from
your default save file. Wizards only.
-d<num>
Delete score. Deletes score number <num> from the scores file.
Wizards only.

That's what rec.games.moria is for ;). Seriously, I'm sure all the authors
are constantly busy. After all, look at how many people all over the world
are playing their games and have many questions to ask them. Like I said
before, I don't know where the get the time for all of this. Do any of
you sleep?
