New NetHack release for the PSP NetHackPSP-1.0c.zip

I really don't like having to remember the right button sequence for 108 possible combinations.

Me neither! That's my point, actually.

OooOooohhh I see it more clearly now! So this would be like a pop-up menu with 9 possible selection, highlighted wheter you press Nothing / North / South / East / West or a combination of two (NE-NW-SE-SW).

Me Like It. Me Like It A Lot.

You would have to press, lets say... the TOP_LEFT button, plus a direction (meaning two buttons at the same time for corner items) plus one of four possible action. Ain't that a bit too much to press at the same time? Those direction button on the PSP are so lame. I hate the way they have done it.

But still, its a very nice idea.

I'm loving this port of nethack. Only a couple of things are bugging me...its pretty hard to aim spells diagonally and also, how do i aim them at myself? This should be the . key i believe? but none of the stuff maps to .

Need the #enhance command too!

Yes, you are correct... you can't do anything to yourself... yet

The #enhance commands have been fixed, you should download the BETA1 on page #3 of this thread. It is in there.

Here's what has been fixed so far in the BETA:

- Keyboard interface for text prompts (Wishing, naming items, etc.)
- Fixed the bug of headers that would interfeer in the item selection dialog
- Added a way to go back up a menu when you've highlighted the last item (and vice versa)
- Correctly fixed to always select first item in a menu if no default is found (was buggy in some cases)
- Splitted the context menu in two columns
- Enable #enhancing your skills

oops, just reported your new beta. hopefully no one will put it up... sorry :/

OK, first you re-create this FINE edition of Nethack, and then you DARE improving it even further in a matter of days, while taking suggestions?! What kind of coder are you?! You're supposed to be a lazy, apathetic bastar&! Shame on you! :P

Sorry that I don't have any suggestions to add, since everybody already suggested all those great ideas (I would really like a built-in MP3 player myself, but maybe that's asking too much), but I want to thank you again for making my PSP come alive again, because all those jumpers, shooters and racers drove me nuts already. Nothing beats the good old Nethack! I just sat at the doctor's office yesterday, and <FWOOSH!>, an hour just flew by me as my valkyrie went to level 8 and died a painful, painful death. And afterwards my wizard panicked and accidently zapped himself to death at level 5, while he was under attack by fierce rabid dogs. I'm re-living the early 90's all over again!

Oh, man, I can't thank you enough! You're my hero!

One more thing...
Need a way to turn autopickup on or off for when you go into the shops etc.

This is really shaping up into a sweet port. As far as the menu system goes, i really like it. The controls are really fast once you remember the key combo's

totally agree with the autopickup suggestion.

[steve-b]

very minor point here, but the 'quafe' in the menu should be 'quaff'

Thats strange. Autopickup is setted to be only for coins.

Would you check in your NetHackPSP Directory in the file .nethackrc if these two lines are there :

OPTIONS=autopickup
OPTIONS=pickup_types:$

Because this should do it. I didn't change anything regarding autopickup.

Thanks,
Pawa
