Welcome!

Hi, Bcode! Welcome, and thanks for joining NetHackWiki!

• The How to help and Style guide pages are excellent starting points.
• Special:Recentchanges is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
• Questions? Need help? You can ask at the Community Portal, the forum, or on the discussion page associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: ~~~~. That will expand to create a signature.

You can put {{NAOplayer|NAO player account}} on your user page to link to your NAO player account. Capitalization matters.

Sorry about that

Sorry about accidentally reverting your first article edit; I didn't mean to, I was trying to hit the diff button and hit rollback instead. Happy editing! -Ion frigate 22:52, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Monsters with non-unique appearance

Is it auto-generated? If yes - can you provide code used to do this? Bulwersator (talk) 17:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I queried an SQL database of monsters. Here's the query, IIRC:

SELECT DISTINCT m1.name FROM monsters m1 INNER JOIN monsters m2
WHERE m1.glyph = m2.glyph AND m1.color = m2.color AND m1.monid != m2.monid
ORDER BY m1.glyph ASC, m1.color ASC, m1.baselev ASC, m1.name ASC;

I then pasted the output into the edit field and did some s/// in vim.

As for the database, I think I wrote some quite dirty scripts to read monst.c and write the database (I used an SQLite database, but it should work with anything supported by DBIx::Class, IIRC). If you want me to, I can pastebin these somewhere. (Be warned: it involves 40-line regexes…) —bcode ^{talk | mail} 17:28, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I would be grateful, I prefer to use 40-line regexes than write new ones. Bulwersator (talk) 10:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Here it is. Don't say I didn't warn you. —bcode ^{talk | mail} 18:53, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
