Patches

When I complained loudly on rec.games.roguelike.nethack about a game lost by quaffing from a fountain with Caps Lock on, David Damerell wrote The Paranoia Patch. If you apply this patch to a vanilla 3.2.2 source tree, it alters the game such that you can specify "paranoid_quit" in your options. Quitting and entering Explore mode then asks you to type "yes", not just the letter "y". The Paranoia Patch is also ported to NetHack 3.3.0, although quitting now is done with other keys. Additionally, the sources for SLASH'EM (a ZIPfile for the DOS source and a .tar.gz of the source tweaked for Linux compiles) are mirrored here.

Submit your own notes

Just fill in the form below and a note will be added to this item. These notes will be read and incorporated in the text at a certain time.

You cannot use HTML in your text, but some text attibutes are recognised: text between stars (like *bold*) will be set in bold; Text between underscores (_underline_) will be underlined; and text in slashes (/italic/) will become italic. If you want to include literal stars. slashes or underscores in your text, you can escape them with a backslash: \/slashes\/ will become /slashes/.

Furthermore, web addresses starting with http:// (or ftp:// or some other scheme) will be turned into links. E-mail addresses will be turned into mailto: links.

If you enclose a word, or some words, in square brackets ('[' and ']'), these words will be turned into a link to that item in the NetHack Index. E.g. [SLASH'EM] will become SLASH'EM. Note that the item to link to is found by looking at the name of the site and the name of the author. Thus you can try things like "Michael K. Neylon's page" if the name of the page is not unique.

Use the "Preview" feature to preview your text before submitting it, else a link phrase might point the wrong way.

Note: Since spammers have discovered this site and put in lots of annoying ads, any text containing HTML (or even just < or > characters or 'http:') will be refused silently. Apologies for the inconvenience.
