Screenshot of UnNetHack

UnNetHack 4.0.0 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 changes like automatically opened doors, the pickup thrown patch, and many gameplay-related changes.[1] Since 3.6.1 it also bundles a graphical tiles UI for Windows.

There is a European public server at un.nethack.nu.

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

This is the start of a write-up similar to those for vanilla NetHack. It is a preliminary report and currently incomplete.

Significant changes

UnNetHack incorporates several previously issued patches, among them the Heck² patch, menucolors, statuscolors, the dump patch with additional HTML output, the color alchemy patch, and portions of the Lethe patch. It also has a few features of SLASH'EM, and fixes the Astral call bug among others.

The Adventurer

UnNetHack introduces no new roles but adds the vampire race from SLASH'EM as a playable race. Cavemen and Rangers, who in vanilla always start with a dog, can also start with a cat in UnNetHack.

Dungeon features

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.

Bestiary

New monsters are mainly from SLASH'EM:
