... would go nicely next to the already added feature of watching others' games.

The bottom line in the new ncurses interface doesn't show weight.

Rebecca suggested a new riding animal: monorail cat.

It would be extremely useful if Nethack dumped death information to a sqlite database. The performance of the high scores script can (probably) be significantly improved if reading from a sqlite database.

Putty (and maybe others) has problems with DECgraphics (and sometimes IBMgraphics). Not sure what is causing it or exactly what conditions are needed to reproduce it.

You should be able to drop drinks from Nethack.

This would require:

• Some kind of integration with the sunday protocol.
• Two different user classes
• SSH based playing so users can use their real CSH passwords

Nethack is multicasting to all of CSH. It should be restricted to localhost only as a security measure against hacking.

Saying "n" when it asks you "do you want to see an account of creatures vanquished", it shows you one anyway.

Russ and others experience this; Clockfort does not. (even though he uses IBMGraphics)

Farlook doesn't work on certain symbols when ibmgraphics are enabled. Fountains are the only thing I can find at the moment, although artimus found a few others.

Compiling Nethack with the latest GCC produces a metric fuckton of warnings.

Add a Quickplay option (q) to dgamelaunch to either,
A. Resume game already in play (same as picking "Play Nethack BingeHack")
B. Start a new game as a preselected character.

See nethack man page, -u option

Priest skills are now broken so you cannot #enhance anything but bare handed combat.
here is what I see when I #enhance:

Pick a skill to advance:

Fighting Skills
    bare handed combat [Unskilled]
Weapon Skills
Spellcasting Skills
(end)

Blessed fortune cookies give false rumors. Inversely, cursed fortune cookies give true rumors.

This is caused by the Potter patch where the false and true rumors were merged into one file.

Should be able to at least broadcast chat to every other player.

Would be nice to send private messages too.

There should be a place, that you get to via a method, that when you get there, you find a table, with beer.

Selecting my spellbooks in my capital-D multiple-drop-item-inventory-menu in a game caused the "+" that indicates an item is selected to display exactly one line higher than it should.

I'd like to replace virus with real vim. The user has to be restricted to the one file, and dgamelaunch has to be modified to support launching an external editor for editing the nethackrc.

When you try to view the help menu, it instead says
Cannot open hh.

The death_explore feature uses the same text as ^X (going into explore mode normally), which is slightly out of place in the context of death.

Can be fixed by making the ^X function a wrapper around another function which actually enables explore mode and the wrapper can print the additional text.

The cursor for farlook does not exist anymore (farlook still works, it just has no cursor, so one must count spaces)

Add into the game The One Ring. When worn, it would make the wearer invisible, but after a fixed number of turns, summon ring wraiths.

Also, while carried, it would periodically incur some negative penalty and have a themed message when it does.

So, I was dipping random potions to dilute them to make holy water and this happened ( I am assuming it was acid in water since I believe that's the combo that explodes):

"It boils vigorously! You are caught in the explosion!
Oops...

Hit space to continue:

Suddenly, the dungeon collapses.
Report error to "wizard" and it may be possible to rebuild..

extract_nobj: object lost"

I got kicked out to the main screen and can't resume the game (asks me the usual start up stuff) and it doesn't even show up in the recent play logs. I would love to be able to recover that game since I was actually doing pretty damn good with it (found a random hobbit with the RoP. lol)

A user should be able to play back recorded games via the dgamelaunch menu.

Sinks should be randomly generated with dishes in them. If you clean the dishes, you should get the housewife conduct.

Support epic multiplayer battle on a CSH themed map.

Talked with russ about this over drinks; probably should be more akin to a "woot" store, where the DM picks an item to sell, and it keeps selling till someone buys it, rather than the old system where users put up their own stuff for auction (note: that system never worked, and had more than a few flaws in how it could even be implemented in game)

I just applied the dumplog patch which creates an information filled log of the state of the game at player death. This could be parsed to provide much better information in dgamelaunch about play logs (and high scores?).

We should have a NRH 3 level. It should be laid out exactly as NRH 3.

The level shall include the following features:

• The big red button: If you press it, RTP monsters come running and attack you.
• Fish: The door to fish should be a closet that if you open it, you find a fish.
• Server Room: The door to the server room should always be locked.
• Drink: You should have a drink machine (perhaps a monster with symbol D) which you can #chat with and buy potions of booze / potions of water / slime mold juice using credits purchased from a drink admin. Drink should also be randomly generated empty.
• Drink admins: One dorm room should be randomly generated with a drink admin. If you #chat with the drink admin, he can refill drink (if it's empty). You can also #chat to purchase drink credits.

workaround: Not have a status line so long that it goes off of the screen.

actual fix: Instead of saying something akin to "/RED/ TEXT /WHITE/", we should print out "/RED/T/WHITE//RED/E/WHITE/" to the terminal, so that the color will be back to normal by the time we print something else out to the terminal.

Also, add new dialog which digresses from normal oracle talk to wireless!

And takes a really long time

And the user can't get away

Rebecca suggested some new gods:

FSM

• If you sacrifice parmesan cheese, you get something really good (a big luck/alignment bonus?).

Longcat

I think we should have FSM as a neutral god, longcat as a lawful god and tacgnol as a chaotic god.

Russ, others have indicated interest in having a web interface to view high scores, edit config files, view achievement progress, etc.

The next time we need to make a change that isn't save-compatible, we should also lengthen the username field stored in save data from 10 chars to 20 chars, and then make the corresponding change in chroot/etc/dgamelaunch.conf

Loading a saved game while wearing the Ring of Power produces the message:
Restoring save file... Gee! All of a sudden, you can't see yourself.

Item weight is occasionally not shown in situations where it should be. Obviously some items (i.e. grey stones, other things identifiable by their weight) need to not be shown unless identified, but in this case I was walking over a "red-eyed shield" (aka Orcish Shield) and it did not weight-identify. Other items (i.e. chain mail, etc) do auto-weight-identify when you walk over them.

The existing build system for nethack is shit. It doesn't properly express the dependencies between the files. It is also slow, uses recursive make, and does things during the install target it should not (compilation).

I give up. Sorry.
Some other process has an unnatural grip on /nh343/var/xlogfile.

Because nethack belongs on xbox arcade. Or steam.

We should add a new random scroll name "SEGFAULT"

I'm getting this from the binge board...

I did this. Just hit "r" when you're logged in as a registered user.
I added in a tail binary to the chroot (which did not have any chroot-unmet elf shared library requirements) and made a wrapper script around your pretty-printing play log viewing scripts.

Cheers, Russ.

When nethack starts, the bottom line is not colored (statuscolors). It does not become colored until the user presses a key.

We should have an admin user 'wizard' who has the option of starting nethack with -D so he has wizard mode.

The player shall be able to send mail containing either text, items, or both to any other player.
The player shall send mail using a mailbox. No additional items shall be necessary.
Mailboxes shall be randomly spawned throughout the dungeon.
No mailbox shall be spawned above dungeon level 4.
A guaranteed mailbox shall exist in Minetown.

The boulders outside potter's house shall be made into trees.
A dented pot shall be generated in the area around potter's house.
Under the dented pot there shall be generated a land mine.
Suggestions for replacing the fountains in potter's house are welcome.

There is currently no way to scroll down or up when viewing the News/MOTD page in dgamelaunch.

Since we're administering Nethack now instead of werkt, it can run on games.csh. Currently though, you need root to install new versions. This can be solved by using schroot.
