Can't remember how I applied Menucolors on Nethack, but I didn't need to do any of this stuff here. When I switched on SLASH'EM, I simply copy-pasted the Color stuff from Nethack Defaults to SLASH'EM Defaults, and it worked.

Can someone please expand on this? As a windoze programmer I have never used patch and am trying to apply the vs2005 patch and it keeps failing and I do not understand why...

missing header for context diff at line 13 of patch

I assume you're speaking of this patch. I unpacked nethack's sources, and downloaded the vc2005-file in the source root directory, and typed
patch -p0 < vc2005

in the command line, which seems to work ok for me, but I'm on linux... Haven't tried compiling nethack with that patch either. --Paxed 14:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Like, at all.

Can't remember how I applied Menucolors on Nethack, but I didn't need to do any of this stuff here. When I switched on SLASH'EM, I simply copy-pasted the Color stuff from Nethack Defaults to SLASH'EM Defaults, and it worked.

Anyway, I'm trying to get SLethe working. Any help?
