Early Roguelike Collection
a8b96bbc3e
Alchemy jugs are refilled by the alchemy() fuse, which takes a pointer to the jug object as an argument. When written to a save file and read back out, the pointer is unlikely to point anywhere useful. Instead, rs_write_daemons() now stores an index into the player's pack or the list of objects on the floor. rs_read_daemons() uses this number to locate the object when restoring. This change should not cause any new issues with old savefiles, but it is unable to make a broken alchemy jug work again. |

This is the source for the Roguelike Gallery's versions of Rogue and other early roguelike games. The code was obtained from the Roguelike Restoration Project (rogue.rogueforge.net). Modifications have been made mainly for compatibility with the dgamelaunch online play system. Some bugs have also been fixed, and the build process slightly improved. The essential flavor of a codebase half as old as stored-program computing machinery remains unchanged. To install on Unix: If you checked out the source from Mercurial, run 'autoreconf' first. Build by running './configure' and then 'make'. If you just want to play the game from your own user account, 'configure' won't need any options. The games will keep the high score lists in whatever directory you run them from. For a multi-user installation, you will need to set the '--enable-setgid', '--enable-savedir', '--enable-scorefile', and '--enable-logfile' options. Run 'make install' after building. There are other possible options; run './configure --help' for a full list. To install on Windows: Use the included Visual Studio solution files. Warning: they have not been tested recently. See the individual games' subdirectories for further documentation. Some of the manpages may be outdated, but the guides to playing should be accurate. The games can be played via SSH or the Web at rlgallery.org. Bugs: The original authors claimed that the list of bugs was "probably infinite". If you encounter one of these, please report it on the bug tracker at https://bitbucket.org/ElwinR/rl.
