1.1 root 1: From: [email protected] 2: Date: 30 Nov 87 15:08:15 PST (Mon) 3: To: [email protected] (Kirk McKusick) 4: Subject: Re: Public domain rogue 5: Return-Path: [email protected] 6: 7: Here is a list of discrepencies from the documentation you sent me: 8: 9: The -d option not implemented. 10: The -r option not implemented, use "rogue save_file" instead. 11: Strength is between 1 and 99, not 3 and 32. 12: The D command is not implemented. 13: Only scrolls,potions,wands,and rings may be "call"ed something. 14: The ^P command may be used to go 4 messages back, instead of just 1. 15: The @ comand is not implemented. 16: There are no dark rooms. 17: ROGUEOPTS of flush,terse,seefloor,askme,inventory are ignored. 18: 'askquit' is added to prevent ^\ from terminating the game accidentally. 19: If 'noaskquit' is 20: found in the ROGUEOPTS string, the the ^\ kills the game, otherwise, 21: the player is asked if he really wants to quit. In either case, no 22: score file processing is attempted. 23: The score is keyed to winning scores, and no player may appear twice. 24: 25: 26: 27: 28: 29: 30: Other differences from "standard" rogue 5.3. This list covers externally 31: visible differences only. 32: 33: There should be NO bugs with any severe consequences. Absolutely NO 34: game-stopping, or game-winning bugs should be present. 35: Traps fail occasionally, that is, they sometimes are sprung but miss. 36: The ^A command prints out some stuff you're probably not interested in. 37: The '&' command silently saves your screen into the file 'rogue.screen' 38: Any inventory selection command that takes '*' as a request to list all 39: appropriate items, can take one of "=?:)]!/" to list only rings, 40: scrolls, or whatever. 41: Scrolls and potions, once used, become identified. All other objects become 42: identified only by scroll of identification. 43: There is only one scroll of identification, and it works on any item. 44: ROGUEOPTS 45: Only the following are implemented: 46: file,jump,name,askquit,tombstone,passgo 47: "askquit" is used to prevent accidental termination of the game via ^\ 48: You may drop objects in doorways. 49: Prints a picture of a skull, not a tombstone, upon death. 50: The save/restore game function is faster and machine-independent, but sometimes 51: requires modification when new variables are added to the source. 52: The potion of detect monster lasts for the whole level. 53: Their is no wand of light.
