Use at own risk. If you encounter bugs, errors, or problems, check back to this
page (http://cec.wustl.edu/~naw1/nh_patches.html) to make sure you have the
most recent version. If so, email me
(naw1@cec.wustl.edu) with "biodiversity
patch" in the Subject line. Wizard mode doesn't find everything easily, and I rarely reach the quest before I die or violate save-file compatibility, so bug-reports are very appreciated. |
If you do patch/compile:
This patch file contains all my patches (detailed below) as well as several other interesting patches I've found. They are Kelly Bailey's Heck², Nephi's photography, and Pasi Kallinen's Coin Flipping patches. (This should not be seen as an endorsement of me by them.)
It patches cleanly onto vanilla. It is not save/bones compatable. You should make backups of your dat and util directories, because precompiler definitions cannot be relied upon to disable changes I have made in those places. All other changes I have made may be dis/en-abled in include/config.h.
After patching, remember to:- update your Makefile from sys/foo
- verify YACC and LEX are set up properly (like in the Makefile)
- remove/rename unwanted default files from util (eg: lev_flex.c and lev_yacc.c)
- make clean or make install if needed
Download: Biodiversity version 1.2a for nethack 3.4.3(770k)
To patch (I use patch on a cygwin shell on a winXP box):
put biodiversity_v12a.diff in the parent directory of your NetHack directory. Your directory listing may look something like:
-rw-r--r-- biodiversity_v12a.diff
drwxr-xr-w nethack-3.4.3-backup
drwxr-xr-w nethack-3.4.3-fun
change into your NetHack directory.
do: patch -lp1 -F4 <../biodiversity_v12a.diff
this makes more sense if you know diff and patch. (remember --dry-run on patch)
