Also the format string patches will need to be updated and expanded, which will be a lot of work. Things do seem to be stuck st 3.67, so once it is done, there probably won't be a lot to do after that. Vulture bundles a modified version of nethack (to support the isometric view) that is now way out of date. As of at least 3 years ago there was some upstream development, though the person doing this tried to make it hard to get the source to support selling binaries. Now the upstream web page no longer works. I don't think it is going to be worth the work to update this. I think people are likely to want to play up to date version of nethack even if they like the isometric view better better than ASCII graphics. Someone has expressed some interest in preserving nethack-vulture, so reopen this for now. The initial version was wrong. It should have been 2.3.67, not 3.67. There is currently a copy available from: https://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/opensuse/repositories/games/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/src/vulture-2.3.67-4.130.src.rpm The upstream web site is dead. Some source from upstream was archived for the 2.4 community version at: https://archive.org/details/VultureForNetHackCommunityEdition2.4 I'm not sure the build information is going to be as easy to figure out with that version. And it only has nethack, not slash'em and unnethack. In theory by getting either the nethack and/or slash'em versions on steam you could get the source for those versions that was most up to date. Suggested other sources for this: Looks like 2.3.67 can be grabbed from this git repo: https://github.com/DanielT/Vulture/tree/2.3.67 This one seems to have sporkhack: https://github.com/gerberb/vultures |
