NetHack VS sil-q

Yes and still under active development [1]! We also just finished the 2024 November NetHack Tournament (TNNT) [2]! I played in the tournament for the first time this year. I had one near-win with a very challenging Monk (I was doing a bunch of conducts [3]) who unfortunately died to the infamous Wizard of Yendor (Rodney as we call him). I also had a winning run with a Wizard which unfortunately finished a few hours after the deadline at the end of the tournament, so sadly that one didn't count!

Next year I hope to have a bit more time to play so that I can record a win in regulation time!

My configuration of Eglot is simple: (use-package eglot :hook (c-mode . eglot-ensure)). And it works for a single c file. But when I use this setup to read the code of NetHack, it doesn't work for linting and definition finding (M-.), even though eglot connection has no problem. I observed the same problems when reading the code of SQLite. Some specific problems I observed:

Since nethack 3.1.0, the source for nethack's "bestiary" has been dat/data.base, in plain text, processed into a file named "data" when building the program. The unprocessed file intended for the nethack's next version can be seen at https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/dat/data.base (it's quite long).

I am not really 100% sure what you are looking for. Are you looking for the actual picture? It is built during compilation from this uuencoded file https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/win/win32/splash.uu

xNetHack is based on NetHack 3.7.0, and there was a bug (now fixed) in NetHack 3.7.0 that caused stair destinations to be messed up after a game is recovered. I wonder that has happened here: perhaps you are playing a version of xNetHack that inherited the bug from NetHack 3.7.0, this is a recovered game.

They won't be afraid of music in 3.7.

This is a bug that was fixed in the upcoming 3.7, in this commit. Basically, if the random filler created a space that was made inaccessible by the fixed level design getting overlaid on top of the random filler, a door could be created to make that space accessible.

There is not a comprehensive list of changes in existence. This one comes close but doesn't contain everything https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/doc/fixes3-7-0.txt

Soulcalibur vi. You should check out sil-q. The dev took inspiration for Tolkien and best part is that its free! https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q

The other current one is Sil-Q, which is a further variant of an existing variant called Sil. I don't like it (either version) so I can't comment much, but it seems popular.

Check out Sil-Q, based on Angband and set in LoTR's deep past but completely redone so that spells and skills act together to make vastly less use of throwing fire around and vastly more of hiding, sealing doorways, increasing healing speed, seeing farther and through walls, putting monsters to sleep, and so on. It's surprisingly successful at feeling like Tolkien's accounts of the great accomplishments of Middle-Earth. https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q/

It does have a tileset as of Sil-Q 1.5, which you can download here. I drew it myself! I’d recommend changing the font to 16x25.fon in the topbar, then turning on the tiles after starting your first game. Have fun!

I believe Sil started as a fork of Angband, and it's a favourite of mine. You might want to check that out. (I believe currently the most up-to-date version is Sil-Q https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q).

You want more? :D - The Temple of Torment Medieval fantasy world with demons, quest based gameplay, you can play with the mouse. - Under the Mad Mountain - TraumaRL - From here Numeron Reactor download Hellspace (2014), Rogue City Scavenger (2013) and Nightfall (2012) - Roguelegends: Dark Realms dark fantasy, cosmic horror - Sil-Q Tactical combat - Angband

Sil - A roguelike based on LOTR with a strong emphasis on discovery and tactical combat. I personally recommend Sil-Q over the original version as it comes with a bunch of bug fixes, balancing changes and improvements to the game.

Sil-Q, https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q, is an actively updated version of [Sil](https://nickmcconnell.github.io/AngbandPlus/sil.html), which itself is based on NPPAngband.
