The Crash

What's the deal with The Crash? The information at http://alt.org/nethack/news.php is vague, to say the least. I though that I had a game saved from several months ago (2007, somewhere between July and November), but it's not there now; is The Crash the reason? And is there any hope?—Toby Bartels 22:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

The hard drive where nethack was crashed; read/write errors all over the place, so files were lost. The new server playground is done from scratch, so saved games wouldn't be compatible anyway. --paxed 10:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, paxed! Do you know the date (or month) when this happened? It should probably be in the article; certainly this seemed to me the obvious first place to look once the site's own news page didn't help. —Toby Bartels 03:11, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Tiles

Is there anyway to play nethack with tiles on a remote server? Ha! Showed you! 01:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Someone wrote a curses interface: [[1]]

Does this thing work? If yes, could it be placed on the server? If both yes, would it fix this obnoxious bug that you have to press escape all the time to skip past the battle spam? -Tjr 12:17, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
