What's the thought process behind the name? It's meant to sound vaguely asian, without actually meaning anything. I deformed the words 舞劍 (Wu Jian) which mean something like "Blade Dance", so it fit the requirement of starting with the letter I. The inspiration is Chinese martial arts, bu...

What's the thought process behind the name?

I'd say upload the patch and see what they think about it.

By an in-game toggle I meant a screen that would be shown before the main menu that would allow you to choose language, with a notice that it can later be changed in the config. Hardly would I advocate having an option for things like auto_switch, easy_open, easy_unequip etc. which have an effect on...

The point of an in-game toggle is that the player becomes aware of the option without having to dig through the documentation. In any case, I think documenting it with a warning of being experimental would be a good start.

I've been thinking about the current state of the translation effort. I concluded it might be worthwile to expose the rest of the text even without support for proper grammar, in order to: 1) get people to actually play the game in their respective translated version (as it is, even with all the des...

Yes, that's what I thought. Are there any plans to make the rest of text available for translation?

Thank you, it works flawlessly! I have one last question (for now

) - which strings are missing from the online translations? From a cursory look I'd wager that some of the interface stuff isn't there, correct?

galehar, I hate to admit it but I have been unable to find any information on how to set the language option, I rifled through the various docs but no dice. Would you mind helping me out?

Yeah, I was actually surprised when the current coordinator granted my request for membership because there was so little activity I thought it was everything but abandoned. The few sentences that were translated are of poor quality anyway and need to be translated again. I'd like to be made the coo...

Hello, I've joined the Czech team recently and started translation, but I've noticed that the last edits are from some time ago. Is the Transifex project still on, ie. is the text still updated? If so, is there any way to try it in game?

Damn, I totally forgot I had that game saved from before. I thought it will get counted anyway, but that would be illogical. Thanks for pointing that out, galehar - my silly mistake.

I added the captain line to my CAO file and my nick appeared successfully on the team page, but when I played a short game yesterday it didn't appear on the team page. I played on CDO. It seems to be working fine for others. team page: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/tourney11/clans/andrewsmash.html confi...

My thoughts, exactly. But hey, the name change is done, it's set in stone now :roll:

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to do anything with your keyboard, since it doesn't work on mine, either (I have Microsoft Sidewinder X4). What I did is that I created macros for SHIFT + NUMKEY and mapped them to Nethack/Rogue movement controls. Like so: SHIFT+NUM7 mapped to Y SHIFT+NUM8 mapped to K...

I was just now wondering why there is no "slime floor" for Slime Pits. Other branches do have their own specific floor tile...

Just press Ctrl+Enter to insert line break.

Only way of making the screen bigger is to set the font size to a higher value (you can do this by right-clicking the title bar and selecting Properties; tab Font). You can also play online and just press Ctrl+Enter to go fullscreen. You can set PuTTY to adjust the font size relative to window size,...

Also, if you're an ogre and you're starving the stomach growl will damage everything around you for 3d3 unresistible hunger damage.

Oh, yeah, sorry. I didn't know changes were supposed to be marked blue. I added some stuff to Xtahua and Prince Ribbit, but mind you, it has to be checked by a native speaker. Suggested a revision to A handsome prince before he was cursed, he now adventures for a cure. Moving through the halls with...

Weapons could have a line stating how fast is the respective weapon skill allowing you to attack, e.g. "Your skill with axes allows you attack at top speed with this weapon." - "Your lack of skill in attacking with axes hinders your attack speed with this weapon." Literally the s...

Wow, that really does sound awesome!

I've read the link you posted, but as is obvious, that level of detail wasn't what I was asking about (and honestly is mostly beyond my grasp). I was just wondering if it's easier to start building upon the tiles application than starting to create a new one from scratch, ie. webtiles.

I was just posting a tip how to change it, the "+" for doors was just an example. If you know what the feature looked like, you can get the appropriate number from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 It's used as outlined in Roderick's post, with an "x" before the Un...

I'm probably talking out of my ass here, so forgive me, but wouldn't a proper client/server online playing be easier to program than webtiles? From what I've gathered, webtiles need to be created from scratch in some respects, but with client/server the problem is just synchronizing the data and ass...

The cset section. If your char_set = ascii, then to change closed doors to "+", you'd need to add this to your config file:

cset_ascii = door_closed:+

I might overreact to the fact that you managed to ludicrously massacre my nickname... Do you think if I wanted to be called "Lord Frick" I would chose "lordfrikk" instead? Sorry for the off-topic, but ugh...

Good lord, cut the lecturing. I don't see anyone here bashing other suggestions, now do you? I just tried to understand a logic behind a seemingly unlogical decision. Besides, galehar, the condescending tone is uncalled for. I thought one of the goals you guys were going for was clarity and this jus...

Can't say I'm too happy about the decision... your only argument was it has a weird abbreviation? :roll:

Honestly, I don't know why I have to relearn this lesson, it stood me well during my ADOM wins, but anyway: If you have just pulled off a brilliant and daring escape from a deadly situation which you found yourself in due to severely underestimating a monster you have never seen before, DO NOT just...

I still haven't won, but the one advice I'd give you if you want your character to survive is that you don't have to kill everything you see, in fact knowing what to kill later will probably save you a lot of deaths. Sure, you might get that 200 XP if you kill this sucker but then again you might no...

This is a great idea and I hope it will be implemented.

Just adjust this one so it doesn't look it's viewed from back and it's going to be the best!

shamelessly taken from D&D If I thought picking class names from D&D were a good idea, I would already have renamed it Bard. That's like saying we should rename wizards, because they're taken from D&D. Thing is, it's just a general description of the role. If we had something like red d...

Well since we have a book of War Chants, what about... War Chanter/Warchanter? It's even a D&D class , but I don't think that's a bad thing. Or we can shift crusader towards the religious archetype :) If TSO was any good in the early and mid-game, it would've been much easier... Skald sounds goo...

Hey, I found out that it's possible to add sounds to the game but I found only one sound pack and the selection is terribly poor, unfortunately. I managed to add some sounds that don't come off terribly cheap and annoying, but I was wondering whether it is possible to add music? Simple dungeon floor...

edlothiol, I was wondering if you can attemp to say at this moment how much faster webtiles will probably be down the road. I realize we can't probably expect to match the speed of native code but I'd still love to hear your opinion.

And thanks for doing this, it's already very playable.
