NetHack 3.6.0 is the 30th public release of NetHack and the 26th by the DevTeam. It was announced and released on the official NetHack website on 7 December 2015.[1]

Availability

NetHack 3.6.0 is readily available from the official NetHack website. Binaries are provided for MS Windows (version 7 or later) and Mac OS X (version 10.7 "Lion" or later), and the source code is available, so people can port NetHack 3.6.0 to other platforms, something the DevTeam encourages in the release notes. Ray Chason has managed to get the DJGPP DOS port working - it is available on github.

Significant changes

NetHack 3.6.0 is described by the DevTeam as consisting of "a series of foundational changes in the team, underlying infrastructure and changes to the approach to game development".[2] It focuses on these internal changes more than on the addition of new content, but there are still some features introduced in this version, including many small changes throughout the game.

Notable changes in NetHack 3.6.0 include:

  • Elbereth was weakened in several ways:
    • It no longer protects squares you're not in.
    • It must be at the beginning of an engraving; multiple consecutive Elbereths no longer protect against erosion.
    • It doesn't work in Gehennom or the Endgame.
    • It has a chance of eroding every time it protects you, and even a burned Elbereth can fade.
  • Magic cancellation is harder to get (e.g. cloak of MR: MC3→MC1) and also a little less effective (e.g. MC3: 98%→90% protection). To mitigate this a little a ring of protection raises MC by 1. Still, together with the weaker Elbereth, killer bees have become a lot more deadly.
  • The javelin skill was merged with spear.
  • Statues are now rendered in white with the same symbol as the monster they are representing, instead of `.
  • More randomized appearances of scrolls.
  • Lower chances of writing unknown scrolls as a wizard. Type-naming no longer makes it safe.
  • Kicking a pile of gold now sends gold pieces flying in every direction.
  • Pets now pick up only a single piece of gold, making credit cloning impossible without a container.
  • Correctly rounded shop price calculation makes price IDing slightly harder.
  • Farming was nerfed in various ways: puddings no longer leave corpses or death drops, kraken cannot be revived on land, horns from reviving unicorns are worthless for polypiling.
  • Alchemizing potions will only convert 2 to 9 potions at a time instead of the entire stack.
  • Being crowned gives the player an extra skill slot.
  • Iron bars now sometimes betray closets.
  • New shop type: health food, stocking only vegetarian food, and (full) healing potions instead of booze.
  • Sokoban puzzles no longer track cheating after they are fully solved. Prize no longer depends on 4th level's layout.
  • Some Minetown level changes. Most importantly, one variant has been overrun by orcs, which means no shops, no priest and hardly any worthwhile loot. At least the unaligned altar can always be easily converted, without a priest defending it.
  • One Mines' End layout has been slightly randomized.
  • The Big Room introduces many more variants plus some randomized floor types, with even a chance of a lava maze with a minotaur!
  • Some Quest levels changed e.g. a swamp was added to the Tower of Darkness.
  • Two new Medusa's Island levels. As a side effect this means only 14 chance of a titan instead of 12.
  • The layout of the Valley of the Dead may vary now.
  • Gehennom-type mazes may now consist of corridors instead of walls.
  • Due to a bug the Wizard of Yendor can wake up prematurely if a hostile spellcaster casts the aggravate monster spell. It's highly advisable not to linger on his level until you're ready for him.
  • The vibrating square is treated as a trap and can be found quickly by the usual means.
  • Covetous monsters will no longer kill the Temple Priest, so they cannot be used to skip Moloch's Sanctum.
  • The Amulet of Yendor may be offered to Moloch (killing you).
  • Random 1-square holes, which may even host the portal, were added to the Plane of Earth.
  • The dangerous clouds on the Plane of Air now cover most of the level and move constantly.
  • The lava on the Plane of Fire produces poison clouds similar to those from the scroll.
  • You can't levitate on the Plane of Water, forcing you to stay inside the air bubbles or swim e.g. with an amulet of magical breathing.
  • The Astral Plane has a 75% chance of being an enlarged version with even more Angels and other monsters.
  • The #adjust command can be used to split an inventory stack.
  • The new #tip command allows accessing your bag when wielding a cursed two-handed weapon.
  • The #terrain, #annotate and #overview commands were introduced.
  • Menucolors, MSGTYPE and HPmon are now incorporated in vanilla. Also experimental (and buggy) support for Statuscolors, replacing HPmon if compiled in.
  • Reading previous messages now keeps working after saving and restoring the game.
  • Many small improvements to the user interface, e.g. when accessing containers, type-naming objects or showing prices in shops. Showing the attributes with Ctrl + x is more verbose.
  • Slightly changed wording of some messages e.g. "You swap places with your warhorse." instead of "You displaced your warhorse."
  • Several dozen bug fixes, including crashes related to dropping loadstones and splitting long worms.

This version also added references to various lines from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels to the game, as a tribute to the author, who passed away in the year of this version's release.

The adventurer

The player may choose from these roles and races:

Role Races Alignments
Archeologist human, dwarf, gnome Lawful, Neutral
Barbarian human, orc Neutral, Chaotic
Cave(wo)man human, dwarf, gnome Lawful, Neutral
Healer human, gnome Neutral
Knight human Lawful
Monk human Any
Priest(ess) human, elf Any
Ranger human, elf, gnome, orc Neutral, Chaotic
Rogue human, orc Chaotic
Samurai human Lawful
Tourist human Neutral
Valkyrie human, dwarf Lawful, Neutral
Wizard human, elf, gnome, orc Neutral, Chaotic

All classes permit male and female adventurers, except the Valkyrie which must be female.

The adventurer has experience, hit points, magical energy, armor class, alignment, and the six major attributes. He may advance to experience level 30.

The initial pet is a little dog for Cavemen, Rangers, and Samurai, a kitten for Wizards, a saddled pony for Knights, and a random choice of a kitten or little dog for all others (or the user's choice in his options).

Dungeon features

The main trunk of the dungeon begins at level 1, where the game begins, and proceeds down stairs to Medusa's Lair and the Castle. From there, it is necessary to enter a trap door to the Valley of the Dead. Further stairs down eventually lead to the invocation level. Performing the invocation ritual at the vibrating square opens the stairs to the Sanctum.

With the Amulet of Yendor in hand, the adventurer may ascend from level 1 into the Plane of Earth; thence s/he may proceed through magic portals to the planes of Air, Fire, and Water, and thence to the Astral Plane. Offering the Amulet of Yendor on the correct high altar wins the game.

Along the way, one will encounter these branches and special levels:

To win the game, it is necessary to complete these tasks:

Special rooms are:

Special dungeon features are:

Traps are:

A wand of wishing is guaranteed in the Castle, in its modern position, protected by Elbereth, a cursed scroll of scare monster, and a chest.
