New Official Site
 

Angband now has a new official home at http://angband.github.io/angband/. It will probably look quite familiar...

Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

cool :) I've posted this news at some discord channels and reddit.

maybe add redirect from https://rephial.org/ to new website?

The "User manual & strategy guide" link serves a 404 error

I can't see anything at r/Angband, where did you post it

Ah, thank you - fixed now.

To be fair, r/Angband is almost dead and very slow moving. I still check in (and see some of the guys from here on there from time to time)

Yeah, Sky drops in from time to time to tell everyone they should be playing 4.1.3 :)

The player's guide is seriously out of date. I wrote the first part for circa 3.2, when flasks of oil were 3d4 fire branded. (They again do mucho damage, but the reasons are different.) Also, it suggests starting with 2 cure potions, which is too few. Etc.

All I've done to it is remove bits that are blatantly wrong. If anyone wants to rewrite or write a new one, please do.

FAQ is messed up.
XTERM_256 is seruously unlikely to be necessary.
Backtick for ESC is also obsolete, and mentions \ instead of `
Keymap description makes no sense and is wrong. I have no idea what is supposed to actually do, and in any case <> has been replaced by [].
Development plans mention trac

Etc etc etc

Spoken like a volunteer :D

Seriously, thanks for that. The help files basically only get a mention when there's something wrong with them (has anyone ever seen a post saying how useful they found the help?), so I take silence as a sign they're all good. If anyone does want to smarten up any of the help, that would be great, but it's not really the sexy part of development.

Exploring the dungeon
* List of features without mentioning knowledge menu or graphics.
* "your character must survive many horrible and challenging encounters to find the treasure lying about and take it safely back to the town to sell". Not by default, and in any case the vast majority of useful items don't originate in the Black Market. (A whole lot come from Alchemist's, but those are generally affordable.)
* "$ you sense an item of wondrous power!”
The last message indicates an artifact is present and is only possible if the preserve option is disabled. >>>With preserve option enabled, an artifact guarantees item level feeling of at least, 5--though the reverse is not true.<<<

These help issues fixed now.

This was meant to describe the keypresses the player needs to do (= for the options menu, etc), but it was wrong and just more confusing, so I have cut it.

hey that's not true, i just point out that 4.2 still has shallow-depth lifedraining passwall invisible breeders, Nick.

shallow-depth, invisible, life-draining passwall mobs Nick.
When you can't teleport, resist or recover life-draining, or see invisible.
And they breed. THEY BREED, NICK.

@sky--
They are also slow, so you can walk away.

Which enemy is this? The only early game invisible passwalls I can think of are Green Glutton Ghosts, and Spectres(?) (I forget the name, but they inflict fear and drain something, not sure if its life).

Im not aware of any passwall breeders.

Abyss worm, dl 26. Coldblooded, passwall, dark aura, invisible, ... and it breeds. But it isnt actually a threat. It is slow moving and low-HP, so one phase door is usually enough to escape.

It is based on a similar monster in Sil, but that one is deadly dangerous.

Edit: it isnt dangerous if you kill it fast or get out fast. Additive aura may leave you in total darkness, at which point your options dwindle.

They actually have KILL_WALL not PASS_WALL, so they are easy to track by the vanishing walls :)

You can also tell by darkened floor tiles in an illuminated room, unless there are too many. TORCH_LIGHT option may help.

Where is development / bug reporting stuff
 

Compiled a nightly build for rasppi and have a couple bugs I've seen, where do I see if they are already known or report? The FAQ refers everything to the old site.

thanks

The GitHub issues page is one place where you could check on what are open issues and report what you found. The current master post-4.2.2 thread in this forum is another place where you could report what you found.

Which FAQ does this? The old site should redirect soon, but I am trying to track down all such references anyway :)
