/rlg/ - Roguelike General

But then you remove wishing and replace it with acquirement

If the Poschengband-R dev is around, could you please compile an x32 binary version? I tried to use Visual Studio 2010 to compile but it doesn't work.

Seconded, I have the same problem. Been stuck playing pseudoelli instead because R doesn't work.

IIRC VS2010 just hates C variable declarations that aren't at the start of blocks

so just find all the ones it complains about in the error log and move them and then it should compile fine

i've played dcss for a long time, but im still really new to poschengband. having a lot of fun so far. just going straight melee.
anyone have any tips that aren't in the pasta?
also should I try to clear the stronghold before moving on to the orc caves?

Read scrolls of curse weapon while holding a powerful artifact, it will add +4 to-hit and to-damage.

can't tell if youre trolling or not lol

The first thing to do in Poschengband is to head straight to Morivant and hope to get ambushed along the way, because slaying the monsters that ambush you is free XP.

...

i think you mean "head straight to Volcano"
you can just walk over the red ~ tiles

The most bullshit death I've had. I thought I was nigh invulnerable and this dude just appears after I've been hopping these stairs for hundreds of turns and rapes me from my view distance.

Were you a gargoyle?

Yeah, just checked, you were a gargoyle. That's what you get for not using your INNATE ABILITY THAT PREVENTS JUST THIS and gonging up all the level.

This is why you should always cast Regeneration

>Dungeon on the Everchanging

jej

It's better than Crawl getting destroyed by braindead memers like duvessa and Lasty

I bitched about that two threads ago and naggers still didn't fix it.
That's roguelikes.

Is anyone else having trouble getting pcb 5.0.5 to start on windows 7?

>using windows

I never had fun with a mage class in a game since dragons dogma
god bless magic

>page 10

Bump.

Shit doesn't run for me unless I compile it myself.

Of course at that point I might as well go play pseudompaellipso-R

Jorgrun still exists?

holy fuck are we really this dead?
I mean I know it's Friday evening here in Europe, but I thought we're all antisocial autists here

I am close enough to your description, but my antisocial job has hit me with a 5-day project, I pretty much work/sleep with occasional browsing to relieve stress.

l-lol

I'm just watching my Japanese documentaries about girls and playing PCB when the plot gets boring

seriously user are you ever going to learn
just pay the 80 gold or whatever to identify shit before selling it

it's a net profit for almost all {good} or better items

I don't play roguelikes

>japanese documentaries
is this a meme name for animes
or are you actually watching documentaries

It was a {cursed} item

its anime about moe stuff and panties, you know the usual stuff /a/ watches haha
I'm actually watching a Japanese documentary about Japanese school girls that get forced into prostitution and hentai tier sex by older men, its just really sad to know that shit like this is real

well at least you have a job I guess
that's cool
thank you for your input, I don't play roguelikes too but only because my laptop died on Monday and since I can barely afford to eat and pay my bills, I'm stuck with a smartphone for unknown amount of time
I have been thinking about suicide a lot because it's not like I can just go out and talk to other people or find a job with my psychiatric problems

That's just like, your opinion man.

>sad
think you mispelled hot

He's trolling user. As far as clearing stronghold, part of the beauty of the game is how it is non-linear, make your own decisions and learn from them. The one piece of advice I would give (not sure if in pasta) is that if you try travelling to another town, make sure you hit '

no?

if it's {bad} then sell it (or just destroy it to make more room for better stuff)
if it's {awful} then identify it first

he is likely playing with easy_id off and is a class with weak pseudoid

You guys have any MUD you could recommend?

What did you expect from a thread with an OP like this?

Sure.

>no players
No ded ones pls.

user please. There's nobody there because they can't handle the HEAT.
You're not a scrub, are you?

Pls recommend game.

Alright
First tell me what a MUD is

Multi-User Dungeon.

>Multi-User

When the fuck is new Nethack coming? Why are updates so slow?

I want them other players in my game.

HELLO MY BROTHER

well the closest thing I can think of is InCaveAd's online server, where multiple players are thrown in a dungeon and can actively alter it.
If it's multiplayer you want you're in the wrong general. You can't multiplayer and keep the game turn based.

When you fork it

>You can't multiplayer and keep the game turn based.
What are chess?

...

I honestly hate Stevonnie, it's the worst fusion

I play civ with my friends no problem senpai

While I partially agree, this is not the place to discuss notroguelikes.
The actual worst fusion is smokey quartz.

>You can't multiplayer and keep the game turn based

What?.

Oh right, smokey quartz, I stopped watching the show before she appeared. Yeah, she's disgusting, and yes, let's stop now

Heroes of might and magic 3.5 are awesome too.

...

i think he's trying to say that online multiplayer doesn't really work with how roguelike turns go

one guy might take 10 minutes on a single turn as he goes to make a cup of tea while trying desperately to decide on the best way to notdie
meanwhile another guy takes 100 turns in 1 second walking across an empty level to get to his stash

What is the difference between easy_id and no easy id?

With easy_id you auto-id things at level 25.
The message is "you evolve into a stone of lore".

Easy id gives you automatic pseudo-id and identify acts as *identify*.

is variant stuff.

default:
- pseudo-ID requires some time carrying the item before it kicks in. it upgrades to being instant at CL35
- certain classes get only weak pseudo-ID, making them unable to distinguish between good/excellent special or between bad/awful/terrible
- to know all of an item's properties, you need the expensiveish rareish *Identify* rather than just normal ID

with easy_id on:
- pseudo-ID is always instant from level 0
- every class has strong pseudo-ID
- normal identification reveals all of an item's properties; there is no need for *ID*
and also, in pseudoellimpa-r and similar variants, you get full blown- auto-ID (like from the stone of lore) at CL25

*record scratch*
Are you telling me that there exist people that play vanilla PCB?

jesus christ dude

PCB feels kinda cheap with easy_id on...
If I'm turning on stuff like that, I might as well just save scum...

seriously just go use the computors at local library

I told you, user. All our shitposters are suicidal and/or depressed.

Which is why if we start ignoring them they'll just stop existing.

Literally.

I actually like the vanilla behavior more here, since full auto-id gives more chances to accidentally an artifact if your pack is full.

I just need a section in the town museum that automatically contains all "permanently lost" artifacts
then i'll be happy forever

>play adom against my better judgement
>reach dwarf town, a new record for me
>going further down is dangerous as fuck, go back up and ponder reaching the surface to look for an easier dungeon, starving on the way is a serious prospect
>before leaving pay the bartender for a tip
>"I HEARD THAT YOU CAN KICK STAIRS TO BECOME STRONGER"
>kick the upstairs
>dungeons crumbles and I instantly die
...

Well did you become stronger?

Clearly. He destroyed a stair just by kicking it.
That guy's hardcore.

>Expecting Thomas "Herr Schadenfreude Lord" Biskup to actually give non-bullshit hints in his game

i'm not an adom player, but isn't the level with the ratling food merchants somewhere above dwarftown?

Why wouldn't I?

PCB-R is a thing

I know.... give me one good reason not to play PCB instead of PCB-R?

best pet to capture in the stronghold?

what is PCB-R

Let it die, you degenerates.

No

pls no, this is a comfy place when people actually contribute

You can't keep bumping the thread forever, user.

I just want to remake it with a better OP image

Watch me
