Add
--showpaths
early option to show where NetHack is expecting to find certain files
without starting up a game. It exits afterwards.
Windows sample (for illustration only, locations may differ for you):
Variable playground locations:
[hackdir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\"
[leveldir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Local\NetHack\3.6\"
[savedir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Local\NetHack\3.6\"
[bonesdir ]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[datadir ]="C:\personal\nhdev\363\test\binary\"
[scoredir ]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[lockdir ]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[sysconfdir]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[configdir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\"
[troubledir]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\"
Your system configuration file (in sysconfdir):
"C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\sysconf"
Your system symbols file (in sysconfdir):
"C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\symbols"
Your personal configuration file (in configdir):
"C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\.nethackrc"
Linux (for illustration only, locations may differ for you):
Your system configuration file:
"/home/johndoe/nh/install/games/lib/nethackdir/sysconf"
Your system symbols file:
"/home/johndoe/nh/install/games/lib/nethackdir/symbols"
Your personal configuration file:
"/home/johndoe/.nethackrc"
Game is playable, and should compile on linux and Windows.
Assumes you have a lua 5.3 library available.
Removes level compiler and associated files.
Replaces special level des-files with lua scripts.
Exposes some NetHack internals to lua:
- des-table with commands to create special levels
- nh-table with NetHack core commands
- nhc-table with some constants
- u-table with some player-specific data (u-struct)
- selection userdata
Adds some rudimentary tests.
Adds new extended command #wizloadlua to run a specific script,
and #wizloaddes to run a specific level-creation script.
nhlib.lua is loaded for every lua script.
Download and untar lua:
mkdir lib
cd lib
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
Then make nethack normally.

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:849: ../binary/NetHack.exe] Error 1
DEFINE_KNOWN_FOLDER is using this particular definition in the mingw
header files:
rather than this one:
So, the known folder values that recent code is using such as
FOLDERID_ProgramData, FOLDERID_LocalAppData, and FOLDERID_Profile are
being declared as external constants.
That is why the error is a link error. We need to include -luuid on
the link command line because those external constants are defined
in uuid.lib.
