SlashTHEM

SLASHTHEM (github page) is a variant of Slash'EM Extended version 75 currently maintained and deved by Soviet5lo. It's name is short for “Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack—The Heavily Extended Mod”.

Primary changes

Warning! The content of this section is a result of talking with the dev, and does not represent actual experience playing the game.

According to Soviet5lo, the primary changes are “At the moment more artifacts, toning down roles/races, and restoring the balance back to around Slash'EM levels.”

Availability

It is currently playable at the nethack.xd.cm server, simply type ssh nethack@nethack.xd.cm or use putty if on windows. Apparently, it's not as hard to compile on *nix as Slash'EM Extended, so compiling at home is more feasible.

Compiling in Ubuntu variants

Here how to compile it on Ubuntu variants, and probably other Unix systems.

• Install what you'll need:

"sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev bison flex checkinstall make"

• Create the slashemthem directory and move in it:

"mkdir slashemthem ; cd slashemthem"

• Download the source files from the server:

"git init ; git pull 'https://github.com/Soviet5lo/SlashTHEM'"

• Run the setup script

"chmod 100 ./sys/unix/setup.sh ; ./sys/unix/setup.sh"

• A minor edit in the makefile

"gedit ./src/makefile"

comment out line 340 This "WINTTYLIB = -ltermlib" should become this "#WINTTYLIB = -ltermlib"

uncomment line 339 this"#WINTTYLIB = -lncurses" should become this "WINTTYLIB = -lncurses"

don't forget to save.

• Compile and install. The command will also create a simple package:

"make ; sudo checkinstall"

• Easy uninstall with your regular package manager.
