Bones names

How are bones files named ? (on Linux)

I currently have the following bones files :
jym@xrousse:~/slashem$ ls bon*
bonD0.5.gz bonD0.7.gz bonD0.O.gz bonD0.T.gz bonM0.3.gz

I guess that D0.n are dungeon level n and M0.n is mines level n.
But that seems strange with D0.O and D0.T. Maybe special dungeon levels (O
would be Oracle and T ? Maybe the Mall ?)

So, how are bones files named ?

I'm not one to give details that I don't possess, but I believe your
basic guesses are correct:

D = dungeons of doom
M = mines
T = mine town
O = oracle

There are also designations for quest home and others that slip the mind...

But I thought Minetown was in the Gnomish Mines, not the Dungeons of Doom...

As the OP writes, he is playing Slash'Em, which has a town in the
Dungeons of Doom.

I know, but the base question was relevant to both nethack and slash'em
(unless there was a huge change in bones files names in salsh'em) and
indeed the base answer (that you give just below) is not
slash'em-specific.

Thanks.

Funny, this mean that for special levels that can occurs at different
depth you can only leave one bone of them and not one bone for each depth.

Right. But the individual letters are, and (as has already happened
elsethread) giving a SLASH'EM specific example without marking it as
such is only going to cause confusion.

Yes. See bone-343.txt.
