The main intent of this fork is to put more randomness, challenges, and fun into NetHack. It features more levels, several UI improvements designed to reduce tedium, and many gameplay-related changes.<ref>http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/msg/5ee5599d1e6b7378</ref> Since 3.6.1 it also bundles a graphical tiles UI for Windows. The 5.1.0 version's default Windows tiles are not that good but it is bundled with [[Tileset| DawnHack tiles]].

== Significant changes ==
+
For those curious what is added in UnNetHack, here is the [https://github.com/UnNetHack/UnNetHack/blob/master/ChangeLog Change Log] that list major changes. If you want to see a complete list of changes, you can take a look at the [https://github.com/UnNetHack/UnNetHack/commits/master commit browser].
−
UnNetHack incorporates several previously issued [[patch]]es, among them the [[Heck² patch]], [[menucolors]], [[statuscolors]], the [[Dumplog|dump patch]] with additional HTML output, the color alchemy patch, and portions of the [[Lethe patch]]. The staircase symbol > when indicating you will go to a special level (e.g. from the regular maze to the Gnomish Mines)is colored yellow. It also has a few features of [[SLASH'EM]], and fixes the [[Astral call bug]] among others. The [[Castle]] level has also been changed.  It has several different variations that are randomly generated, such as [http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg12/scaled.php?server=12&filename=unnethackcastle.png&res=landing this one].
 
−
In addition, many special levels, such as Quest levels, are inverted compared to their vanilla nethack counterparts, as can be seen in [http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg713/scaled.php?server=713&filename=unnethackvalleyofthedea.png&res=landing this unnethack version] of the [[Valley of the Dead]].
 
  
−
[[Gehennom]] is also changed dramatically, in addition to the changes from [[Heck² patch | Heck²]]. In lieu of mazes, levels are more commonly filled with large expanses of lava. The lairs of the various demon lords have undergone minor changes as well:
+
== Changes from NetHack 3.4.3 ==
 +
 
 +
=== Patches and general code ===
 +
UnNetHack incorporates the following [[patch]]es:
 +
* The [[Dumplog|dump patch]] (with additional HTML output)
 +
* [[Heck² patch]]
 +
* [[Menucolors]]
 +
* [[Statuscolors]]
 +
* [[Color alchemy]]
 +
* Portions of the [[Lethe patch]], including [[Cthulhu]]
 +
 
 +
Version 5.0.0 adds the [[Convict|Convict role]], with its associated equipment and monsters.
 +
 
 +
Several features are incorporated from [[SLASH'EM]]:
 +
* [[Options_(SLASH%27EM)#showweight|Show weight]] feature
 +
* The [[nymph level]]
 +
* The [[Black market (UnNetHack)|black market]] (modified)
 +
* The [[Vampire (starting race in UnNetHack)|Vampire race]] (modified)
 +
 
 +
UnNetHack also fixes many vanilla bugs, such as the [[Astral call bug]]. Some of the changes made between 3.4.3 and 3.6.0 were taken from, or inspired by UnNetHack changes, and other variants incorporate content that originally appeared in UnNetHack.
 +
 
 +
UnNetHack features its own [[autoexplore]] implementation, adapted from AceHack.
 +
 
 +
=== Branch changes ===
 +
 
 +
====Existing branches====
 +
Version 4.0.0 shortens [[Sokoban]] to three levels, adds new puzzle designs, and from UnNetHack 4.1.1 onwards, cheating in Sokoban does not incur a [[Luck]] penalty. {{main|Sokoban (UnNetHack)}}
 +
 
 +
As of version 5.0.0, [[Fort Ludios]] is more likely to be accessible: the portal will now be in the first vault generated below level 10. It still has a chance of being inaccessible if no vaults are generated below level 10.
 +
 
 +
The adventurer will be accepted by the quest leader to perform the quest from experience level 10 (rather than having to achieve experience level 14.)
 +
 
 +
====New branches====
 +
 
 +
*The [[Town]] (4.0.0): The Town is accessible from an upstairs located on the level below the entrance to Sokoban, and features numerous [[shops]], a town [[watch]], and [[mugger]]s who will attempt to steal your inventory.
 +
*The [[Ruins of Moria]] (5.0.0): The Ruins of Moria are located in the main dungeon somewhere above the black market.
 +
*The [[Black market (UnNetHack)|Black market]] (4.0.0)
 +
*[[Sheol]] (5.0.0): Sheol is an ice-themed branch of [[Gehennom]], with special monsters, traps, and even terrain types.
 +
*The [[Dragon Caves]] (4.0.0): The Dragon Caves are located deep within [[Gehennom]], and consist of multiple [[dragon]] and [[purple worm]]-infested caverns, with several [[Chromatic dragon (UnNetHack)|chromatic dragons]] waiting in a lair at the bottom.
 +
 
 +
For detailed changes in UnNetHack's dungeon branches, see the [[Mazes of Menace#Map 2|UnNethack dungeon map]].
 +
 
 +
=== Level changes ===
 +
Certain special levels have been modified or given alternate versions, including the [[Castle]], [[Fort Ludios]], the [[Valley of the Dead]], [[Moloch's Sanctum]], and the lairs of the various demon lords. Listed here are examples of some of the different level variations:
 +
 
 +
* [http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg12/scaled.php?server=12&filename=unnethackcastle.png&res=landing Castle]

The [[Vibrating Square]] is somewhat easier to find. When the player is two squares away from it, he will receive the message "you feel a faint trembling under your feet". One square away the player will receive the message "you feel a weak trembling under your feet". Once on top the vibrating square the message is the typical "you feel a strange vibration under your feet".
+
Lots of new maps for [[Big Room]] are also added.
  
−
Moloch's Sanctum is much different.  First it is divided into two areas seperated by a expanse of lava and two portcullis and otherwise has a much different map. The inner Sanctum has a initially peaceful priest of Moloch and [[Cthulhu]] along with other monsters.  The biggest difference is that the amulet is carried by Cthulhu.  Upon destroying (note see the article on him as this is not permanent). The amulet drops to the ground and then teleports away. You are then in a race to find it before Cthulhu reappears unless you determine someway to permanently defeat kill him.
+
Random level generation has also been modified. In addition to [[Special room (UnNetHack)|new special rooms]], wallified corridors, and various other changes, the dungeon now contains [[Random vault (UnNetHack)|random vaults]] that add significant variety to what the dungeon can look like.
−
Note that Cthulhu appears as a h as opposed to the typical demon symbol in UnNetHack so any attempt to find him throuhg telepathy should take this into account as can be seen [http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg441/scaled.php?server=441&filename=cthullu.png&res=landing here].
 
  
−
The level can be seen at [http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg854/scaled.php?server=854&filename=ssanctum.png&res=landing this link].  Note it is unknown whether this is the only version of the level.
+
The [[vibrating square]] is somewhat easier to find. When the player is two squares away from it, he will receive the message "you feel a faint trembling under your feet". One square away the player will receive the message "you feel a weak trembling under your feet". Once on top the vibrating square the message is the typical "you feel a strange vibration under your feet".
  
−
== The Adventurer ==
+
[[Moloch's Sanctum]] has been changed significantly. It now features a modified map with two sections separated by an expanse of [[lava]] and a double [[drawbridge]]. Inside the inner Sanctum, the initially peaceful priest of Moloch is accompanied with [[Cthulhu]], who now carries the [[Amulet of Yendor]], and who reappears a few turns after being killed. The Amulet teleports whenever it is dropped, so after killing Cthulhu for the first time the player must locate the amulet within the level. This may require continuing to fend off Cthulhu&mdash;unless the player finds a way to get rid of him permanently.
−
UnNetHack introduces no new roles but adds the [[Vampire_(starting_race)|vampire race]] from SLASH'EM as a playable race. [[Caveman|Cavemen]] and [[Ranger]]s, who in vanilla always start with a dog, can also start with a cat in UnNetHack.
 
  
−
== Dungeon features ==
+
{{todo|The most recent version of UnNetHack's Amulet of Yendor has several effects different from this page's description; The amulet is not guaranteed to teleport when dropped, monsters regularly generate near/on the upstairs while you're carrying it, and it always blocks normal teleporting instead of only blocking it 33% of the time. What version(s) of UnNetHack made these changes?}}
−
UnNetHack adds to [[NetHack 3.4.3]] several dungeon features, among them the [[Aphrodite level]], the [[Black Market]] from [[SLASH'EM]], and various levels introduced by the [[Heck² patch]].  It also randomizes the order of the [[Elemental Planes]]. It adds the mall level from SLASH'EM as well; however, unlike SLASH'EM, it is a special level one has to travel upwards to reach, and the special staircase up is found at a much deeper level than in SLASH'EM.
 
  
−
== Bestiary ==
+
=== Bestiary ===
−
New monsters are mainly from [[SLASH'EM]]:
+
Many new monsters<ref>http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unnethack/log/trunk/src/monst.c</ref> are from other [[variant]]s.

Revision as of 13:26, 22 April 2024

Screenshot of UnNetHack

UnNetHack is a variant of NetHack 3.4.3, maintained by Patric Mueller and others.

The main intent of this fork is to put more randomness, challenges, and fun into NetHack. It features more levels, several UI improvements designed to reduce tedium, and many gameplay-related changes.[1] Since 3.6.1 it also bundles a graphical tiles UI for Windows. The 5.1.0 version's default Windows tiles are not that good but it is bundled with DawnHack tiles.

For discussion, join the IRC channel #unnethack on irc.libera.chat or post to rec.games.roguelike.nethack.

The latest development source code is available from the Git repository, and there are several public servers where it can be played online - the current stable version is UnNetHack 6.0.8.

For those curious what is added in UnNetHack, here is the Change Log that list major changes. If you want to see a complete list of changes, you can take a look at the commit browser.

Changes from NetHack 3.4.3

Patches and general code

UnNetHack incorporates the following patches:

Version 5.0.0 adds the Convict role, with its associated equipment and monsters.

Several features are incorporated from SLASH'EM:

UnNetHack also fixes many vanilla bugs, such as the Astral call bug. Some of the changes made between 3.4.3 and 3.6.0 were taken from, or inspired by UnNetHack changes, and other variants incorporate content that originally appeared in UnNetHack.

UnNetHack features its own autoexplore implementation, adapted from AceHack.

Branch changes

Existing branches

Version 4.0.0 shortens Sokoban to three levels, adds new puzzle designs, and from UnNetHack 4.1.1 onwards, cheating in Sokoban does not incur a Luck penalty.

Main article: Sokoban (UnNetHack)

As of version 5.0.0, Fort Ludios is more likely to be accessible: the portal will now be in the first vault generated below level 10. It still has a chance of being inaccessible if no vaults are generated below level 10.

The adventurer will be accepted by the quest leader to perform the quest from experience level 10 (rather than having to achieve experience level 14.)

New branches

  • The Town (4.0.0): The Town is accessible from an upstairs located on the level below the entrance to Sokoban, and features numerous shops, a town watch, and muggers who will attempt to steal your inventory.
  • The Ruins of Moria (5.0.0): The Ruins of Moria are located in the main dungeon somewhere above the black market.
  • The Black market (4.0.0)
  • Sheol (5.0.0): Sheol is an ice-themed branch of Gehennom, with special monsters, traps, and even terrain types.
  • The Dragon Caves (4.0.0): The Dragon Caves are located deep within Gehennom, and consist of multiple dragon and purple worm-infested caverns, with several chromatic dragons waiting in a lair at the bottom.

For detailed changes in UnNetHack's dungeon branches, see the UnNethack dungeon map.

Level changes

Certain special levels have been modified or given alternate versions, including the Castle, Fort Ludios, the Valley of the Dead, Moloch's Sanctum, and the lairs of the various demon lords. Listed here are examples of some of the different level variations:

Lots of new maps for Big Room are also added.

Random level generation has also been modified. In addition to new special rooms, wallified corridors, and various other changes, the dungeon now contains random vaults that add significant variety to what the dungeon can look like.

The vibrating square is somewhat easier to find. When the player is two squares away from it, he will receive the message "you feel a faint trembling under your feet". One square away the player will receive the message "you feel a weak trembling under your feet". Once on top the vibrating square the message is the typical "you feel a strange vibration under your feet".

Moloch's Sanctum has been changed significantly. It now features a modified map with two sections separated by an expanse of lava and a double drawbridge. Inside the inner Sanctum, the initially peaceful priest of Moloch is accompanied with Cthulhu, who now carries the Amulet of Yendor, and who reappears a few turns after being killed. The Amulet teleports whenever it is dropped, so after killing Cthulhu for the first time the player must locate the amulet within the level. This may require continuing to fend off Cthulhu—unless the player finds a way to get rid of him permanently.

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"The most recent version of UnNetHack's Amulet of Yendor has several effects different from this page's description; The amulet is not guaranteed to teleport when dropped, monsters regularly generate near/on the upstairs while you're carrying it, and it always blocks normal teleporting instead of only blocking it 33% of the time. What version(s) of UnNetHack made these changes?"

Wishing

Main article: Wish#UnNetHack

Wishing is less accessible—wands of wishing are generated already recharged once, and are the only source of wishes for magical items. Non-magical wishes are still available from magic lamps.

Thrones no longer grant wishes in any form.
