NetHack Patch Database

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack (More info?)

Hello,

After Ali stopped updating his patch database, I have
been missing a site like that. To scratch my own itch,
I've been hacking together something to replace it.

Here's the first version I deemed "good enough" for
public announcement, even though there are some rough
edges left.

You can find it at http://bilious.homelinux.org/



Hopefully my net connection doesn't choke...

Somehow I find the title "Newest patches" a little bit contradicting
with patches labeled for 3.3.0..

Good job, I love it. And your tool appears just as I'm starting to play

with patches.

Suggestion: create an 'unrated' status instead of starting the rating
at 0. Maybe displaying no rating color in that case. That way, if a
patch is really bad, it will show red, and an unrated patch won't look
so bad.

Let's all go and rate the patch we use and the patch we tried!

I changed that to "Recently added patches", and did some other small
tweaks while i was at it.

How do I add a patch to my nethack game? I downloaded one, unzipped
it and got a .wiff (or something like that) file. never seen one of
those. I thought there would be an .exe that would kindof attach itself
to the nethack.exe. obviously I don't know how patches work. So how
do I use the patch?

if it was as I think a .diff file that is a source code patch file that
when run through the unix util patch changes source code lines to modify
the existing code before compiling it.

[Please don't top-post.]

This is described in the FAQ, Section 4.11, available with other
ressources at <http://www.spod-central.org/~psmith/nh>.

First, yeah, don't top-post

2nd, for the OP, this does raise a good point - a link to instructions
for patching would be a good addition to this.

3rd, to answer your question:

Patches are ".diff" files that list differences in the source code that
is used to compile/create the .exe you run. This means that to use a
patch, you have to build nethack on your own. You should be able to
find instructions on the nethack webpages. Try a web search for "howto
patch" and you should be able to figure out the rest.

HTH!

Sure, I can create a links-section, or even a Howto-section, or something
like that... Anyone willing to write a document detailing how to apply
a patch, compile nethack, etc. for all the major toolsets and operating
systems? Or show me links to some good docs on this subject, which I
can link to.
