Guide to the chat command line? I've seen a fair few useful things on the chat line in videos on YouTube. Has anyone written a decent introduction to what works on, say, CAO? A subreddit dedicated to the open source roguelike game Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. About careers press advertise blog. Using Reddit. My used controls below. I suggest copying all text below and pasting to notepad and saving to your computer.
I haven't touched the Dungeon Crawl script in two years, until now. It still works like a charm. I am quite pleased with it. Perhaps others are as well. It remains one of the most popular pages on my blog.
I play in Linux now. The game works great in Linux.
And if you aren't using Linux, my question to you is, why not? It does not require an anti-virus or much of anything else.
It will run fine on a Pentium 4 with a gigabyte of RAM-or less. Again, why not?
Download Linux Mint today and see what you think.As for the new Stone Soup team, well, I like what they've done. Gozag is my 'go-to' God for Mummies.
The devs have made some rather controversial changes. I do wish that they would do something besides adding a new God every other release.
Polytheism is cool, but you know, new content is best, in particular for the higher levels. Let us expand the divine astral realms and allow the player to contend with the gods themselves. Also, there are more Hells to conquer, more demons and devils. What about Lovecraft's mythos?
Nyarlhotep, oh my, and Cthulu! These would be interesting challenges to place before the high-level player. Do note that Lovecraft is long since dead, and copyright issues should be null, but of course, I am not a lawyer, and publishers are greedy. In my opinion, there are enough gods as it is, and some gods, such as Sif Muna, cry out to the gods for an overhaul. I can't think of any reason anyone would want to worship Sif Muna when Vehumut offers so much more to the spellcasting faithful.My Dungeon Crawl Cheat page is laden with dust. Frequent references to Windows XP betray its antiquity. I could edit and add guidance for Windows 10, but why?
I like the patina. I will never use Windows XP in this life. I tossed my last Windows XP install DVD. XP is best buried. It was good in its day, but its day is past. There are too many limitations and vulnerabilities. I remember frequent problems with Windows XP and more particularly, Windows 2000, which kept having Registry problems.
I read all about the 'hive,' but still did not understand it. In the end, we must heed Microsoft when they say upgrade.
It is their product, after all.Will Dungeon Crawl survive? Probably not. At some point, the Devs will age to a point when they cannot be bothered anymore.
It is the same with Wesnoth and other old games. The younger generation has very high expectations in terms of graphics and whatnot. I hope the Devs continue as long as they possibly can, because I think the game is awesome, but there are many who grow accustomed to modern gaming with high-resolution graphics. I prefer slow, turn-based gaming over realtime, with its emphasis on hand-eye coordination, and I believe there will always be a market for that, so perhaps there is a slender hope for Dungeon Crawl into the future.
On my Linux computer, I have created a new directory in Home called games and placed the linux shell script (regen.sh) and its icon in there. I believe it is important for the name of the directory to have no spaces. One must either chmod the two relevant crawl directories in order to permit file copies and deletions or else grant root permissions for this script, because otherwise Linux denies permission to the many file copies. I'm not well-versed on this sort of thing. I used to give my launcher root permissions via 'sudo /regen.sh', but my current method is to chmod the two crawl directories, because that eliminates the need to enter the root password every time one plays. Linux has a built-in capability of accepting a single keypress for input and overall a far more robust scripting language than Windows.
Batch programming in Windows, however, remains in the Stone Age. It is a wonder I ever programmed the Windows batch at all. For Windows users, as of, I have finally found the syntax to accept single keypress and no longer use a third-party utility to achieve the same effect. Thus, this cheat is transparent with plain text source code, and no one should feel as though there is anything deceptive about it, although there is no doubt as to its being elaborate. Perhaps more than five minutes would be required to understand how the batch works, but not more than thirty minutes, for an experienced batch programmer.Release Notes:. 1/14/2013 Update:I have successfully ported regen.bat to Linux!
Many improvements made between Jan. 13 & Jan.14th to the Linux script, which does however require root permission in order to shift files around.
Through trial and error, I have found that sudo is the thing, not kdesudo, which is for graphical programs. Kdesudo will cause errors. There is no way I know of getting around the permission requirement other than disabling the security altogether on one's system. I'm not quite confident enough to second-guess the Linux developers on that score.
I'd rather just play along according to their rules. Update:Colorized the text, added for the first time a free public domain icon, reorganized the main menu, and fixed several bugs throughout the mods menu.Fixed a little bug that had broken the 'edit batch file' option. Added a little colorizing trick that had occurred to me.Improved the efficiency of the Install-New-Crawl option.
Fixed the broken macro mod. Added polychromatic effect to mod menu.Fixed a little issue with install-new-crawl. So many variables now, and of course batch language won't help me in keeping track of them.

The Liberal Philosophy as I Understand It:Toward the environment, conservation for future, wiser generations of human beings.For individuals, more freedom from intrusion and interference. Citizens of a republic really should be free rather than just hearing lip service about freedom.For businesses, more government oversight and regulation to keep them from taking advantage of their employees, customers, taxpayers, and even their own shareholders. Business criminals would sell us all down the river if it made them a nickel.Toward other peoples of the world, peace, mature behavior, cultural exchange, and trade. Some may need strong medicine to eliminate their infection by morally bankrupt military dictatorships.With respect to science and education, a receptive ear and vast resources. In the past we were ignorant.

In the present we are a little less ignorant. For there to be a future, we must become wise. Knowledge is the only way forward.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup – Frequently Asked QuestionsQ1. What exactly is the goal of this game?To survive and to win, obviously. For this you need to find the fabled Orb of Zot deep down in the dungeon and bring it back to the surface. To enter the realm of Zot, you’ll first need to collect three runes to be found in various branches of the dungeon.However, if you’re new to the game, you really shouldn’t worry about this. Just try to delve as deeply as possible and have fun exploring the many side branches in Crawl with various characters of different species, skill sets, and religions.Q2. I can’t find my save files, morgue and character dumps. Where are they?If you’re playing locally (i.e.
Not on one of the servers), the chardump command will tell you where the morgue file is written, and this information is also displayed below the highscore at the end of a game.The saves/ directory can be found in the same directory as the morgue/ one.If you’d like to change either location, modify the morguedir and/or savedir options in the init file.Q3. How can I drop/pick up only part of a stack?When choosing items to drop or pick up from a menu, you can select part of a stack by first entering a number (the desired amount), followed by the item slot. Stacks that are selected only in part are marked with # rather than +.If you want to pick up part of a single-item stack, you can use the; command, which will prompt you for the quantity, but otherwise behaves the same as.Q4.
