if you right click the exe there should be a field in properties somewhere where you can add -utangar to the command line where tangar is the name of your savefile

Hi all,

picked it up again after a break and I'm delighted to say that, despite your best efforts to the contrary Nick, running around as a Half-Troll Warrior is largely unchanged! :-D
I did get seriously flummoxed by some trees at one point though... that was cool.
Just one question, what's the mechanic behind shield bashes?
I seemed to stumble *Every* time and miss my attack. Was I just unlucky or is it coz I is a troll?
Because if so, I think I'd rather not try and shield bash, given the choice.

Anyway, loving all the work.
Thanks as ever.

Matt

Thanks, but I got an error:

(also I've tried to add simple -tangar , it didn't help too)

And I've got 'tangar' savefile there ..\lib\user\save ; it works when I load it manually: file -> open

This is a unix-only feature - the windows port doesn't support this in V at least.

In windows, you need to include the path of the save file.
If you have the angband folder as working directory, add lib\user\save\savefilename to the command line (otherwise, you need the full path).

Do you mean that it's possible to make auto-load in Windows right now? Or you just describing algorithm how developers could solve this issue?

It is possibe in 4.0.4 (the version i'm playing). I assume it is still possible.
It was buggy in 4.0.2.

But how? Please could you describe it in details. I tried to add in command line path to my save file:
C:\games\angband\angband.exe -C:\games\angband\lib\user\save\tangar
or
C:\games\angband\angband.exe -uC:\games\angband\lib\user\save\tangar
or
C:\games\angband\angband.exe -"C:\games\angband\lib\user\save\tangar"
but it didn't help

Without - or -u:
C:\games\angband\angband.exe "C:\games\angband\lib\user\save\tangar"

Or, if you have the angband directory as working directory, just:
angband.exe lib\user\save\tangar

worked, thanks! :DDD
