Angband

[GustavoYz]

BIG NOTE:
If you love the fancy graphics, the 3d rendering and the quantum OpenGL acceleration this game definitely is not for you.
________________________________________________________

This is an 'old-fashion' dungeon game where your character is an "@"... No joke. Thus, a simple "3" could be a bum, a door, a monster...
Wherever, its funny and fast in old machines too (tested in a AMD Duron 700 Mhz + 128 RAM running Quirky 1.2, working fine taking some extra seconds to load everything at startup).

Requires SDL (get it from this forum, like 200x versions ). If you're wondering how it looks, see the attached cap. I cut out some docs because there are available meanwhile you play the game, by hit the '?' key.
Working on latest LuPu too, same SDL issue.

If anybody know where to find/put some Locals on it, please let me know.

Hope somebody find it as fun as i do.
Regards.

Another cap, using different graphics (non-ASCII ones).
Still retro looking....

Using macpup 528

I can get Angband 332 running in wine but want to run it natively from Macpup
Installing the SDL stuff I was able to get Angband 312 and 320 working

but after installing Angband 332 from deb files
(http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/angband) 1:3.3.2-2

When going to a terminal /usr/games/angband and typing angband in terminal
I get the following error "angband: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Is there something easy I can do to get the deb files for Angband working
or should I start learning how to compile angband from scratch myself
(quite a bit of a stretch but doable I think...maybe)

Hats off to Mr Murga for keeping this forum running --

libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That means you need to go finds some extra libs....

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/

libtinfo.so.5 should be already in your system as a part of libncurses.so.5 but you need a symlink. Try this command:

Code: Select all

ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.5 /lib/libtinfo.so.5

Or maybe try the package from this thread, not from the Debian repo.

Part of the problem (I'm guessing) is that the current version of angband
is not in the lucid "http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/" area

Current version = http://rephial.org/ 3.3.2 (I missed some dots earlier)

At -- Burunduk "ibtinfo.so.5 should be already in your system as a part of libncurses.so.5 but you need a symlink. Try this command:"

After deleting the Ext2 swap file that my macpup cd had saved on my hard drive and setting it up again (clearing out other versions of angband)
I am not having any luck. The dependency checker finds no missing
dependanceies and I am now getting "command not found from a prompt"

yes --I did use some deb files from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/angband -- which I gather is a "bad" thing as I could not find them in lucid

it looks like I might need to consult the compiling tutorial to get the
current version of Angband running in puppy or just be happy the windows version runs in wine

Thanks!

Did you link the ncurses lib?
You're missing that and some SDL libs probably.

Please, post the output of:

Code: Select all

ldd `which angband`

I kind of gave up and just started running Angband under the OS we all know.... and Hate.

on another note, Angband related, the developers have finally introduced Shockbolt's tiles. here "http://rephial.org/nightlies/"

This version of Angband is still in Development, but I have enjoyed the new tiles as they are (to me) works of Art.
