Nethack is pretty cool on multi-user systems #5

Open suetanvil opened 9 years ago

Just sayin'.

It means you have a common scoreboard. Also, you can fight the ghosts of other players on the server who died, plus play stupid tricks with fruit.

And Unix permissions make cheating impossible^Wvery difficult.

Oh this is cool. Looking into it!

+1!!!

Installed. You can start the game by logging in to the server and typing 'nethack'. I've never installed this before, so I'm going to leave this issue open so you can report any config issues you may notice right away. If everything looks good, let me know and I'll close this. Have fun!

Seems that saving (using S) might not have permissions correct, it causes the game to exit. Also 'too many hacks running now' after trying to run nethack again

Well, it looks like I'm getting a segmentation fault when I try and create a role. I tried both barbarian and rogue and got this. screen shot 2014-12-04 at 1 21 28 pm

The documentation is kind of ancient and not super clear, but it seems that shift + s might cause the game to save and quit, based on what I'm seeing here: http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Save

Okay, so the 'too many hacks running' error should be gone now. It turns out that the default number of concurrent games allowed is 4. I upped it significantly. If you see it again, let me know. Looking into the other issues now...
