Hey, was just wondering if there exists a "reference book", for want of a better word, for nethack.
Basically what I mean is a single PDF file/web-page with a lot of the most common info on the game (stuff like the armour class of different armour, strengths and types of weapons, class/race attributes), I don't appear to find any through google (A lot of .txt files specialising on one area, but nothing covering the whole lot in a condensed, easily printable/navigatable format) but I figured this would be the place to ask.
Would be very useful if you don't have internet access, have slow or unreliable access or simply want something to print out and not have to switch away from the game to go here.
If there isn't something like this available I might be interested in making one (relative newb at the game, 133000 max score and never past dlvl 18 but I wouldn't be aiming for anything huge and insanely detailed anyway, just a good place to look stuff up).
Would any of you like to suggest what should/shouldn't be included?
Obviously it'd have stuff like Armour list (with classes), class/race attributes, weapons etc., but if it's something other people might find useful not sure if I should put anything that could be considered a spoiler in (nor what constitutes one, since some races have certain weapons/armour auto-identified, would including their appearances be a spoiler?), also not sure about stuff like potion/scroll/amulet effects, lists of good/bad corpses and the like.
Although with any luck there exists something like this already and the above questions won't have to be answered.
