Welcome!

Welcome!

Hi! Welcome, and thanks for contributing to NetHackWiki!

  • The How to help and Style guide pages are excellent starting points.
  • Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
  • Questions? Need help? You can ask on my talk page, at the Community Portal or on the talk page associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: ~~~~. That will expand to create a signature.

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you! -- ZeroOne (Talk) 22:37, 24 June 2009

Thanks for the page move

Thanks for moving Magic portal. --99.239.146.253 18:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

for your grammar fixes. --S.K. 21:35, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Excalibur

Thanks for fixing that -- apparently dipping my longsword 300 times without getting Excalibur was just a phenomenal streak of bad luck, not a reflection of a code change. I remembered reading that at least in one other variant, dipping for the watery tart's sword was limited to Knight... guess it's back to hunting for another fountain now.

How to attribute

Not sure how to attribute that page, since it is technically a leaked version - the link on the page is to a pastebin which reprints the fixes35 file from the leaked tarball - if you know how to attribute that, please be my guest --Ozymandias (talk) 20:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Evil patch?

Hi, I've heard you are making an evil patch for NetHack - does that have a git repo? Cause I'd like to use some of the evil patch ideas for Slash'EM Extended, seeing as nobody's playing that variant anyway so nobody's gonna complain if I make it even more annoying. :) --Bluescreenofdeath (talk) 12:26, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Gifted

Funny, when I was in school, they put me in a program for gifted children, but I hadn't been given to anyone, as a gift or otherwise. But that was in another country, and the language has moved on since then. Netzhack (talk) 23:12, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

As an adjective (rather than a verb), the word has two different meanings. English is weird sometimes. Ais523 (talk) 23:13, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
The other usage really didn't exist in my day. I'm 59. We said "give" or "give a gift" or "make a present of". English is getting weirder all the time, is my perspective. Netzhack (talk) 23:44, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
Ngrams confirms it. Netzhack (talk) 00:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Escape item: confused blessed genocide

I think this commit is wrong: https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?title=Escape_item&diff=prev&oldid=170778

https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.6.7_Released/src/read.c#L1445 , case SCR_GENOCIDE calls do_class_genocide without checking confusion, and do_class_genocide has no confusion checks either.

Similar code in https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.4.3/src/read.c , there's no confusion checks on the blessed path with do_class_genocide.

I source-dived this and also explore-mode-tested it (on 3.7) recently when I was writing Confusion#Confused_scroll_effects. And I just explore-mode-tested-it again and my poor kitten got wiped and my hero did not.

Can you check again?

Furey (talk) 23:43, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

You're right, according to a source dive. This is possibly a bug. Ais523 (talk) 23:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Refsrc template

Tapping you about this since I do wanna try to update UnNetHack and add variants besides SporkHack, ideally ones where we don't have to worry about previous versions yet: I do wanna tackle those eventually and I'm going through people who've substantially worked on the template and are still active, and I'm also thinking about variants where we can "get away" with just using the latest stable/playable version on github or what have you. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 21:14, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

About the "aligned cleric" article

Hello! I updated the "Donations" section for the aligned cleric article yesterday to align with 5.0.0 mechanics, and I noticed you left a message saying that some of my work is wrong. I based my updates on the Nethack 5.0.0 source code along with some in-game testing, so I'm not sure what exactly you were referring to. Do you have some specific examples where what I wrote is incorrect?

--Choedev (talk) 10:03, 5 May 2026 (UTC)choedev

I think you misread the code (and have given advice based on your reading of the code, but because your reading of the code is wrong, the advice is also wrong). I don't want to give too much explanation because figuring out the mechanics as a community is part of the fun of a new release, and if the DevTeam just explains them, that takes the fun away from the community – instead of the DevTeam spoiling it, it works much better if someone else figures it out via experimentation or source-reading. Ais523 (talk) 10:12, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Got it! Thanks for the clarification! --Choedev (talk) 12:59, 5 May 2026 (UTC)choedev
