Revision as of 23:57, 13 April 2013
A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:
"This is the start of a write-up similar to those for vanilla NetHack. It is a preliminary report and currently incomplete."
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 improvements designed to reduce tedium, 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.
Contents
Significant changes in 4.0.0
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 includes several features from SLASH'EM, such as the Black Market, the nymph level, and the vampire race. UnNetHack also fixes many vanilla bugs, such as the Astral call bug.
Branch changes
- See also: Sokoban#UnNetHack and SLASH'EM
The Sokoban branch has been shortened to three levels, and additional puzzles added. There are also two additional dungeon branches added to the dungeon: the Town and the Dragon Caves.
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 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.
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:
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 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 an initially peaceful priest of Moloch and Cthulhu along with other monsters. The biggest difference is that the Amulet of Yendor is carried by Cthulhu. Upon destroying (note that 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 some way to permanently get rid of him.
Wishing
- See also: Wish#UnNetHack
Wishing is less accessible - wands of wishing are no longer generated randomly, are generated alread recharged once, and are now 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.
Bestiary
Many new monsters[2] are from SLASH'EM:
Name | Symbol | Origin | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Anti-matter vortex | v | NetHack brass | Engulf and disintegrate |
Snow ant | a | SLASH'EM | Freezing bite attack |
Aphrodite | n | SLASH'EM | Steals, as a nymph |

Mugger | @ | SLASH'EM | Steals |
Black marketeer | @ | SLASH'EM | One-eyed Sam |
Cthulhu | h | SLASH'EM/Lethe patch | casts spells, sucks brains, and confuses |
Wax golem[3] | ' | SLASH'EM | burning touch, drops candles |
Giant turtle | : | SporkHack | blocks line-of-sight like a boulder |
Wyvern | D | SLASH'EM | |
Chromatic dragon[4] | D | Tiamat |
Dragons
Dragons have been substantially modified in UnNetHack. All dragons have been given new names and have their breaths, resistances, and colors randomized, with the exception of chromatic dragons, which possess all breaths, and all resistances except for magic resistance.
Gold dragon scales and scale mail function as an infinite light source, in addition to providing the resistance that gold dragons possess in each individual game. Chromatic dragon scales and scale mail provide all resistances (including reflection) except magic resistance.
The following are the names given to random dragons in Unnethack:
- leviathan
- tatzelworm
- lindworm
- guivre
- sarkany
- amphitere
- wyvern
- draken
- gold dragon
Objects
Artifacts
- UnNetHack, in support of the Black Market, adds Thiefbane to the roster of artifacts.
- The Banes (not including Thiefbane) warn of their targeted monsters. Vorpal Blade also warns of jabberwocks.
- The Banes, including Thiefbane this time, can cancel their targeted monsters.
- The Heart of Ahriman grants displacement and energy regeneration instead of stealth.
- Wielding Trollsbane grants hungerless regeneration.
Other objects
UnNetHack includes a few new objects.
- An iron safe as a container.
- A tinfoil hat that blocks clairvoyance and impedes spellcasting.
- Rings of gain intelligence, wisdom, and dexterity from SLASH'EM.
- Gold dragon scales and scale mail act as a permanent light source.
- Potions of blood which have nutritional value for vampires.
- Potions of vampire blood which polymorph the player into a vampire.
- Scroll of flood, replacing the scroll of amnesia.
Development version
The current released version of UnNetHack is 4.0.0, however, the latest development source code is available from the Subversion repository, and a fairly recent compilation of it is available to play on the public server at un.nethack.nu.
In addition to the changes listed below, the development source also features the Convict role.
Branch changes
Two new branches have been added: Sheol, located in Gehennom, and the Ruins of Moria, located in the main dungeon somewhere above the Black Market.
