wohoo! now the main colors are correct, thanks!
The mouse doesn't work yet, but who cares, it's soooo far away anyway
The cursor keys still don't respond in the modify color menu, but that's not a top priority thing for playing
BTW, you are right, the shades look wrong, but the biggest issue has been ironed out

Good news! Thank you for being willing to help me solve the problem. I will work out colors 17 and above soon, but at least it looks somewhat normal.

I don't think the gcu port (or the gtk port) has mouse support. The sdl port does, but you can only have one window in that one.

I modified the colors & uploaded to github, based on the values at this site:

I am in the middle of re-installing my linux desktop, and I haven't compiled NPP on it yet. The colors now at github are untested, but they should be close. I will get the gcu port going this weekend and finish the colors.

Here is a test. Not bad...

Thanks again for posting that. It turned out better than I expected. One or two of them look a little off, but at least they are all in the ballpark and the screen isn't an eyesore any more.

you're welcome
yeah, it's impressive considering that you didn't have a chance to preview it

Just curious. What commands did you use to configure, compile, and run? When I compiled and ran the gcu port (on ubuntu), I got a different set of colors. There are two places in main-gcu where different colorsets are defined. Somehow you got one set of colors, and I got the other.

The full command sequence follows:

unzip npp*

cd npp*

(*edit autogen.sh to change the EOL convention from dos to unix and erase a space on the first line, between the # and the !*)

chmod u+x autogen.sh configure (*for they didn't have the right perm bits*)

./autogen.sh

./configure --with-no-install --with-x=no

(* edit src/Makefile to comment out LDFLAGS += -lSDL *)

make

cp src/nppangband .

./nppangband

I have no idea why a different colorset was selected, I don't think I did anything strange...
