Q: Stronghold locations in 1.2.4 vs 1.1?

commented: @James. We're trying to find the portal to the end. The eye of ender takes us to 1 location in the world (We've moved all over the world, and the EoE always takes us to same place). The portal location that the EoE takes us to is in the 1.1 generated region, and has not portal. If we move out into a 1.2.4 region near where the EoE takes us (less than 50 blocks) we find stronghold stuff (libraries, halls, iron bars, etc.) but they all stop at the 1.1 vs. 1.2.4 boundary. Note: We found a portal at one point, but can't refind it. :(

Like I said, he's looking for the location of the portal, not a way to fix the ender eye. Although since his real problem is the broken eye, it could be reworded to asking how to fix it.

James

@Wipqozn Thats just it though, I dont think the eye is broken, I think his two version world is.

GnomeSlice

mmohuts.com/review/s4-league

@Wipqozn What do you think of those three games as prospective Game On games?

@James That's not the point, just because you have a better understanding of the game than him doesn't make it an invalid question. =] That explanation would make a good answer though.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Exactly.

James

@GnomeSlice Rewording a question to NOT address the issue he is having is a Bad Idea.

Wipqozn

17:11

Which 3 games?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn The video above and the two following links.

Wipqozn

@James I'm not suggesting we do that. I'm suggesting we re-word it to not be a duplicate. It's currently a duplicate question, although not a duplicate problem.

The question needed be reworded to reflect his problem, which is that his eye of ender is no longer working.

GnomeSlice

@James I don't think you're understanding this correctly. He's asking why his ender eyes aren't taking him to his strongholds like they're supposed to.

James

His eye is working fine

His map is messed up

Where should the portal be? Well it should be right there.. but since right there was generated with an algorithm that he is no longer using. Its not

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn also this one

@James This is an answer, not a question.

Wipqozn

17:16

@GnomeSlice Wnat to post these three in the game on meta?

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Didn't like Microvolts?

Also, I can't find the meta thread.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice It looks fine, just seems too much like TF2.

Q: Is there any advantage to upgrading elemental damage when normal damage has a higher increase?

At the moment, I'm getting staffs with stats like 100 normal damage and 50 elemental damage. When upgrading, I normally get a choice between adding on 9-10 elemental damage or 10-12 normal damage. Is there any reason to ever go for elemental damage in this situation? Does it have a higher multipl...

17:21

well well now I'm "just" 1.5M points behind Raven in the 5-6 mins category

and not 6M

I guess that's less embarassing.

GnomeSlice

Done.

user30

oh fuck. my experiments with nethack appear to have ended with a floating eye.

user30

as I understand it I've not got very far anyway

user30

so I got killed by a newt.

user30

that rock mole wasn't going down without a fight either

badp

17:26

turns out suicidal is not the way to go to up that score.

(sure, I could've been invincible for 8×5 + 5 more seconds, but then what.)

user30

ugh

user30

and now I'm stuck in a bear trap

badp

@ThomasMcDonald Classic nethack moment. Savour it.

(Protip: floating eyes = ranged attacks.)

user30

I believe I was incapable of ranged attacks.

user30

plus I didn't know what it was.

badp

17:28

You didn't even have like rocks?

You can even throw coins.

user30

Unless I can kill an eye by throwing gems at it

badp

It's only got so many hitpoints.

> I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.

user30

ugh.

badp

I service I don't use got acquired by a service I don't use. Why do I feel the irresistible urge to care?

user30

because when a service you do you gets acquihired.

James

17:31

@badp Does this mean you care for some reason... or dont care?

user30

oh, Zuck says they're going to develop it separately. I still give it a year before it gets deadpooled.

badp

@James If I feel the urge to care, I do but I shouldn't.

user30

It's a worrying trend.

badp

Now, if Facebook had acquired imgur, I'd be more scared. or annoyed. I'd certainly have reason to care though.

agent86

@badp you could care because this means facebook is bigger, I guess? People seem to dislike this sort of "large company swallows small company that was doing something neat" transaction

user30

17:32

This, however, seems to be an actual acquisition and not just a talent acquisition.

user30

Although $1bn price is crazy.

user30

> The total consideration for San Francisco-based Instagram is approximately $1 billion in a combination of cash and shares of Facebook. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close later this quarter.

user30

I thought they were supposed to be on their pre-IPO quiet period anyway?

badp

yeah, that's also a suicide button at the earliest levels.

user30

as is getting stuck in a bear trap with no food

badp

the bear trap shouldn't be that bad. You could've got out of that situation by praying.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman, oh my zeus, lolololol

gaming.stackexchange.com/revisions/61801/2

user30

I do not know what that means.

Wipqozn

17:45

I love how you corrected the grammar in that.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn I can't see it anymore.

badp

@ThomasMcDonald You have a god. You can pray to it if you're in trouble. Just don't do it too often.

I believe the key is p.

or P. I forget.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Oh, right, <10k

badp

also what version of the game are you playing, Thomas? Tiles or console?

user30

console

badp

17:48

You can do that online by ssh'ing on a public server like (IIRC) alt.org

then we can spectate and advise you

oh look, there's even a flash thing to do that

user30

or laugh at me.

user30

So I seem to have got stuck in someones shop.

badp

@ThomasMcDonald eh... really?

What's in the way?

user30

The shopkeeper.

user30

So I attacked him for laughs.

user30

17:50

He killed me.

badp

@ThomasMcDonald You had something in your inventory you didn't pay for.

user30

Okay.

badp

You can pay with P (or p - the key that isn't praying).

user30

Well, as I had 0 gold.

badp

or you can drop the item.

user30

17:51

That was still my second best attempt so far!

badp

Now use alt.org/nethack/jta so we can see you, please :)

...or you can watch somebody else. but that would be spoilery.

user30

@badp oh, enter.

user30

wahey!

badp

yey

@Wipqozn yes

and he's playing on a custom-sized terminal so the java/flash applets won't do

user30

18:04

@badp lol, sorry.

Wipqozn

@badp plus all the cool kids use putty. tortoise shades

user30

iterm is easier than java applets.

badp

here's a pro much tip, @ThomasMcDonald: tapping movement keys is a bad idea typically. I've died too many times to that. Use shift-direction to walk until you reach an intersection/something interesting.

user30

hmm.

user30

why?

badp

18:05

because you end up holding the keys

if you hold the movement key against the wrong thing you can be dead quick.

s searches for hidden passages in those suspicious dead ends

user30

yeah, got it

badp

yeah, like that

user30

incidentally I only knew that because of your answer

badp

watch out for the mighty newt.

You don't lke money?

user30

no

badp

user30

I think I have autopickup on my terminal.

badp

You'll be able to spend it in places like shops.

IIRC @ switches between autopickup on and off

but that might be a different roguelike.

Wipqozn

That was a close one.

badp

uh, read your scroll. You might as well

Hopefully it's teleportation

Nope. Probably uselessness.

Luckily the guys around you spent the turn doing nothing useful.

user30

looks it

badp

Now do retreat

user30

18:17

in which direction.

badp

before you get surrounded.

proceed upstairs, so south. Or down.

Not all of them are after you IIRC

Move down one and try to fight.

user30

he's got a ruddy dagger

Wipqozn

That's one mighty strong dwarf.

badp

but you're a damn orc. :/

Wipqozn

Also, this is why all the cool kids play as Archers and Mages.

badp

18:19

Yeah, it's weird. I expected an orc to pack more punch.

user30

I just let it pick for me.

badp

Look for another set of stairs down.

This level's far from explored.

user30

where, exactly, will I find another set of stairs.

badp

My question should come to mind, right? :)

Hug the walls to the east and start searching

a much needed level up

lookie!

Grace Note

Welcome back

badp

I guess calling items (say) !q so that you're warned before you try quaffing a potion is not a nethack feature?

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn hahaha, that clip is a classic

badp

I tried googling for it but came up empty.

Grace Note

@badp Hm?

badp

19:00

@GraceNote I'm sure there's at least one roguelike when I can use inscriptions to make the game warn me before I use an item. Like if I mark a cursed weapon with that then the game warns me before I wield it, even accidentally.

It must be crawl I guess.

Grace Note

Ah, no, naming in Nethack doesn't do warning stuff. It's more for read-warning

badp

Also there's a fresh (different) nethack question for you ♫ and I guess you can get some reps with it by wielding the power of the mighty underscore.

Q: How do I walk up at a T-junction?

It is good practice to walk (shift-dir) as much as possible rather than holding direction keys lest you accidentally run into a monster you can't handle and die as a result, a mistake I've made more than once. However, walking in Nethack is... not awesome. This is my situation right now: ...
