Unofficial Sil rewrite

I think I'm going with Sil-u (for unofficial Sil).

all artefacts I've seen show 0d0 for damage
artefact bows show 0 squares range
appears as if the accuracy value is really the number of dice

This should all be fixed in the latest build.

Lost opportunity for Nick's Angband-Rewrite of Sil (narsil).

Actually I think I'm going to have to use that. But let's call it New Angband Rewrite.

I was looking for a staff of Self Knowledge to test something, apparently you've decided to change the action to a potion. I hope the potions are less rare than the staves

Actually, I just wrote "Potion" because I'm used to that being a thing from Angband, I actually meant staff.

Need a polite applause smiley, that's real good.

Posting this here because I can't properly convey this with just text; this is the result of throwing a spear and hitting a monster using just a direction for targetting, instead of using * for a precise target. It's hard to see, but notice that the message line has a bunch of weird, non-ASCII characters.

Nick,

I've temporarily given up trying to compile on Windows and cloned NarSil onto a Linux distrubution. Opening as a project in Eclipse, the "Build All" menu option gave me a minimal executable, no mx11 or windows.

Does the repository contain all the files needed to build other Linux versions, and cross compile the Windows executable, or do you have more on your computer?
