For what it's worth, Vanilla development versions have non-beaming Teleport Other, and it hasn't horribly broken the balance.

I have been busy cleaning up the code and removing ports that are no longer supported in vanilla.

However, there is something I can not do myself, and that is testing on OS X and Windows.

So, could someone test those ports, please? I suspect that OS X will not work, but AFAIK I have done nothing that would break Windows.

Sure, I can test windows if you like. O 1.1.0u doesn't work on OSX but 1.1.0 might. Nick knows more about what changed though. What am I supposed to test and where do I find it?

The code can be found here:

This thread has instructions on how to get the code, for Vanilla, just replace angband with Oangband and oangband at the appropriate places:

As for what to test, I am mostly interested if you are able to compile and play, or if there are any gruesome errors that prevent it from working.

I have been thinking about my current goals of development, and the following are in or under consideration:
- Upgrade and sync code with Vanilla, focusing on the main-xxx and z-xxxx files.
- Study how pseudo-id works in Vanilla and if it is appropriate to adopt it.
- Remove amnesia attacks.
- No sell option.
- Look over the build system and consider possible replacements for GNU autohell.

I suggest waiting until we've got rune-based ID and then see if you want to adopt that.Now that would be interesting. Please post if you find an alternative.

This is a lot of work - I have mostly done this up to V3.2 for FAangband, but I'm still sorting out bugs and V is a rapidly moving target. See here for more detail.

All these have been dealt with in FA too - I would recommend looking at how.

I will have more to say on this at some point :)

So, far things progress nicely, but the big challenge ahead is updating input handling.

I will take a look at some point. BTW, how did you fix unlight in FA & 1.1.0u? I know that I have done something that makes playing without light more viable, but I am not sure if it is the same solution.

Well, what I have heard about the rune-based id sounds interesting so far.

I know of one alternative that I uses for another project, so I will try it out at some point.

Basically the player gets RDark and +3 stealth, plus when not wielding a light

• Vision radius 2;
• Terrain bonus of ac/8 + 10 (for melee) when on an unlit grid;
• Damage reduction of 1/4 (against spells) when on an unlit grid;
• no_lite is always false (so you can read in the dark)
• Additional +3 stealth when on an unlit grid
