* single choice options in character generation chosen automatically
* char selection rolenames dont only use male rolenames anymore (eg caveWOman)
* nethack's 50 milisecond "delay" (eg for showing moving zaps and throws) timing can be adjusted in config
* deet & littlehack patches updated to use nh 3.4.2
* variants can reference a different variant tileset-reference to the one they are named as

why such a quick release ?
mostly to fix the missing triangles bug on some win32 systems.

Welcome to Slash'em :D

noegnud-0.4 supports nethack-3.4.1 as well as slashem-0.0.6E4F8!

please check your config files in you home directory, there are quite a few supported options which dont yet have menu-accesable areas to change their values.

Happy Hacking :)

also sees the return of the win32 version

happy hacking :)

installed an rpm and the game wont start ?
yes,
this was intensional
i was just checking if you were all paying attention.
*ahem*

there is a problem with the rpm, unfortunately not being an "rpm guru" i just used checkinstall, it seems to have fuddled the permisions somehow, a quick fix would be to do this _after_ installing the rpm:

chgrp -R games /usr/local/games/noegnuddir/ /usr/local/games/noegnuddir/*
chmod 770 /usr/local/games/noegnuddir... read more

This is the first of the releases, full 3d not yet implemented, however a fully playable nethack UI offering 3d "text-mode" and multiple tilesets is available. all interchangeable at realtime.
