NPPAngband and NPPMoria 7.0.0 beta-1 released!
NPPMoria 700 Beta-1 has been uploaded.
This is a re-creation of Moria 5.5.2 with the many Angband ui improvements over the last 20+ years, such as targeting, monster health bars, multiple windows, color display, mouse support, etc. It also has NPPAngbands 4GAI, themed chests, and some other features from NPPAngband. It should be a fairly bug-free and playable beta, but by no means a polished version.
Besides de-bugging, the two biggest things on the NPPMoria to-do list are to update the help files and change the bow slot to a swap weapon. I held off doing this just because it is the change that is most likely to cause alot of problems. So I wanted to be confident in all the other changes before I worked on the swap weapon slot.
Add moria game mode, based on Moria 5.5.2.
Wow thanks, I look forward to playing and reminiscing a bit.
Dang, error at startup. I'm on XP.
I'm also pretty toasted so I'll try again tomorrow... maybe I'm supposed to do something besides extract and click go.
This is fixed. It was a classic "I'll just make this one quick little change before uploading. No need to check, because it is just a minor little thing that can't cause any problems" mistake. I changed the version number in the executble, but not in the *npp/lib/edit files. Thanks.
Cool, it's working a-ok, thanks!
I've done that so many times that I now assume that any code/change/etc. that has not been tested does not work. It's the safest way.
Also, congrats on the release!
Definitely an interesting endeavor that'll be a sight to behold once it all gets fully situated.
Awesome Jeff ! Going to give this a run, thank you!

Me too. I wonder if I will ever wise up and stop. It is usually something like dinner is on the table, my family is waiting, and I have 30 seconds to finish up, or wait another day.
What I do in that situation is leave myself a plaintext note in the middle of my code, e.g.
That way, as soon as I try to do anything with the code, I get a syntax error as well as a reminder of what I was up to.
