The solution will be found in my updated script file for Linux users. In my limited spare time, I have looked high and low for a workaround. Playable, perhaps, but most untidy and not something I can tolerate. Thank goodness that some people continue to develop it and add amazing new features.Įver since I connected two monitors to my workhorse computer, which runs Xubuntu 14.04, I've had difficult playing Crawl, because it wants to span both desktops, placing the center between the screens. I will never in a thousand years get into the modern high-resource video games when my imagination can be easily and cheaply engaged by Dungeon Crawl, which has such superb strategic features. I especially like Crawl's relatively new Sprint and the Zot Defender modules, for variety's sake, a bit of spice for an old-time crawler like myself. It is far better than its predecessors, although Larn did have rather a nice flavor, a personality, a culture all its own-but Larn has languished too long, while Crawl has flourished. Well, enjoy! For I have long enjoyed the game and continue to do so. What I think is that a Dev or two has read this humble blog of mine, just browsing perhaps without really making a big fuss. Either my brainwaves are tuned into the same channel as the Devs or else there's another explanation. And lastly, Mummies have become empowered, now able to cast Vampiric Draining to regain hit points and benefit from rings of regeneration. On a negative note, Spriggans had their wings clipped after I made note of their being better than any other race, which at one time they certainly were-back in the day when they could wear more armour.
And then too, potions of poison now have a different description after my criticism. Could that just possibly be a tip of the hat to me or my regen.bat? Also, Death Knights are now recommended class for Ogres, as I maintained here in my blog was only right and just, all things considered. For one thing, there's some kind of Ring of Liberalism I discovered in the Ziggurat Sprint. My playing of the latest Crawl, 14.1, has resulted in some "Hm." moments. 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. 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. The younger generation has very high expectations in terms of graphics and whatnot. It is the same with Wesnoth and other old games. At some point, the Devs will age to a point when they cannot be bothered anymore. Will Dungeon Crawl survive? Probably not. In the end, we must heed Microsoft when they say upgrade. I read all about the "hive," but still did not understand it.

I remember frequent problems with Windows XP and more particularly, Windows 2000, which kept having Registry problems. There are too many limitations and vulnerabilities. It was good in its day, but its day is past. I will never use Windows XP in this life. I could edit and add guidance for Windows 10, but why? I like the patina. Frequent references to Windows XP betray its antiquity. My Dungeon Crawl Cheat page is laden with dust.
I can't think of any reason anyone would want to worship Sif Muna when Vehumut offers so much more to the spellcasting faithful. 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. 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. What about Lovecraft's mythos? Nyarlhotep, oh my, and Cthulu! These would be interesting challenges to place before the high-level player. Also, there are more Hells to conquer, more demons and devils. Let us expand the divine astral realms and allow the player to contend with the gods themselves. Polytheism is cool, but you know, new content is best, in particular for the higher levels. I do wish that they would do something besides adding a new God every other release. The devs have made some rather controversial changes.

Again, why not? Download Linux Mint today and see what you think.Īs for the new Stone Soup team, well, I like what they've done. It will run fine on a Pentium 4 with a gigabyte of RAM-or less. It does not require an anti-virus or much of anything else. And if you aren't using Linux, my question to you is, why not? It's free. It remains one of the most popular pages on my blog. I haven't touched the Dungeon Crawl script in two years, until now.
