![]() This is a little different, it applies color coding to enemies based on whether they are OOD, unique, OOD uniques etc Instead I applied a patch for version 2.9.1 which hadn't broken compatibilty with 2.9.3 to provide a visible monster list subwindow. Monster list - A feature already present in 3.0.6, copying the implemention from there was quite difficult as it would have relied on other fundamental changes, and I'm not sure I even like the 3.0.6 iteration that much. Interestingly I noted that not all the hardcoded constants which the original bigscreen patch modified were updated in V - this is why gruesome software bugs still leap out from halfway down the screen - they appear on line 23 (Term->hgt-1). This patch is incorporated here.īigscreen - Through laborious comparisons of 2.9.3, 2.9.4, 2.9.7 and 3.0.1, using the 2.9.0 bigscreen patch as a guide, I managed to reconstruct the changes which 3.0.1's bigscreen curses mode relies on, and added the option to play with a main term window larger than 80x24. 2.9.3 follows the same pattern as it is the pattern. Xterm colour patch - At some point poschengband incorporated a colour scheme brought into V in 3.1.2v2 and I've gotten quite practiced at applying it to older variants which need it. L64 patch - There's a bug in older versions and variants of angband which causes them to fail on 64 bit systems, it was incorporated into 3.0.x and has been applied here There are several patches to modernise the GCU frontend. This removes most frontends and deprecates most others, besides curses. So it serves as a starting point for refurbishing other variants (it seems that many variants stopped keeping up with vanilla changes after 2.9.3). The reason I chose 2.9.3 is because many variants, even those based on 2.8.1 incorporate many patches that were eventually added to Vanilla.

He reigned there until the end of the First Age, when it was destroyed in the War of Wrath. He seldom came out of it again, but did when challenged to single combat by the Elven king Fingolfin and earlier to investigate the first appearance of Men. After three ages of imprisonment, Morgoth returned to Middle-earth and set himself up in Angband, raising the volcanic Thangorodrim over the fortress as protection. Over time, the dark creatures in Morgoth's service would gather in its ruined pits. However, while the Valar had focused on destroying Utumno utterly, Angband, though devastated, was only partially destroyed. Nonetheless, the Valar's attack succeeded in capturing Morgoth and destroying his main stronghold Utumno.
