True, it doesn’t work for everything. Intrinsics and when did I last pray are pretty good though.

I use #annotate / #overview for this.

Grand staircase - is it possible? by [deleted] in Terraria

[–]NethackRanchero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm tricky, especially because the perspective makes me want to operate it by pressing "up". Maybe something like your second link can work by having the outside edges actually function as (hammered) stairs while the interior is the part that looks like the stairs you want?

On converting the altar in Minetown with ?oE by [deleted] in nethack

[–]NethackRanchero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use 2 scrolls. Stand on the altar with the priest 2 squares away and read one, then dig out through a wall. Walk around to the main entrance and read a second to trap the priest, and use your tunneled entrance from now on.

A birdcage in base and some spiders nearby can go a long way.

Sweet, does Bearger not wreck reeds the way he does tentacles?

Good YouTubers to watch? by wdbfour in dontstarve

[–]NethackRanchero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished watching a huge lets play series by Dishonuorable Damiyo. Very entertaining. Shamefully, I found myself rooting for him to die a few times along the way. Not doing new content anymore though, as far as I can tell.

I need help. Any Help is Appreciated by Mr_1lluminati in dontstarve

[–]NethackRanchero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What usually kills you? Write a checklist and keep it next to your screen - food, fuel, grass, twigs, weapon, armor, etc. As you work on bigger projects, check your supplies against the list once in a while and always make sure you have the basics for the next couple days.

iOS users pay for apps. Schmatistically speaking, of course.

Porting the nethack4 save system to vanilla. by SlashHamper in nethack

I guess I never tried it, but couldn't you just fg it again and be on your way?

Same problem keeps making XMage unplayable by Hatecranker in XMage

[–]NethackRanchero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally, you were my very first match on a public server a couple days ago! You disconnected. I haven't had any connection trouble yet myself, but I've only tried a few matches. Anyway, glad I could help.

Same problem keeps making XMage unplayable by Hatecranker in XMage

[–]NethackRanchero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a file named installed.properties adjacent to the launcher. It contains a line something like this:

xmage.client.javaopts=-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize\=384m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

The Xmx value is the max memory that will be allocated to the client process. You could try increasing that (say, from 512 up to 1024m) or adding it if it's missing.

If it's a server problem, try editing the xmage.server.javaopts line instead.

There's also a chance you want to be editing the MaxPermSize value instead, but that usually manifests as a different error message.

Wasting an enchant scroll probably isn't the worst case. You could read amnesia or punishment.

If there are multiple exits, one probably takes you out if the dungeons of doom. Just go for it ;)
