Uh-oh, connection keeps timing out. Did you take the game offline, FeepingCreature, or is it just slow?
EDIT:Above seems to have fixed itself.
By the way, somebody really needs to start a succession game using this system. I unfortunately don't have the knowledge to set this up; FeepingCreature's instructions go way over my head. With the ability to just log in and out, and without the possibility of two people playing at the same time, some really interesting things could happen really quickly (a la Sparkgear).
Is there a good explanation on the web of what you're using so that the layman in this field could set up a game (sounds like FeepingCreature is using Linux - is this even possible in Windows)?

The ASCII modifications use Ansi Escape codes; as such they don't even run under Windows. Might be portable; I'm not sure, but several other components that would be very hard to provide on windows (specifically, screen with access control). So, getting this to work on a Windows server is very unlikely. It'd probably end up faster to set up Linux (and the game scripts) in a VM and forward port 22.

Anyone can guess what is it? :)
Spoiler: Watch out, it's quite big one (click to show/hide)

It's shame that putty doesn't use 256x256 bmp file for its font, so I've created one from unshaded version of my tileset (as I'm still not quite sure how those outline fonts works to be able to create version with shading). It looks excatly the same as DF client now... minus few different colors as I made some mistakes rewriting 'em from natural scheme chart to putty settings, hehe.

P.S. I found same snapshot of my (lame) fortress which i used for tileset screenshot :D

Long overdue. Now if only there were a way to have the game not pause on certain messages like it does, I could have a perpetually running fort I could administer from anywhere.

This is awesome! All ASCII games should run on telnet!

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

Your wish is half granted with this.  Unless of course you don't actually mean Telnet, since Telnet doesn't define any standard protocols. And the VT100 ANSI it uses to support the default Windows Telnet is crappy.

This is nice. :)

I'm afraid I don't have time to chop it into shape for DF now, though. Could be.. I don't know, two-three months?

But I'll definitely cook up something ncurses-like, eventually.

That would be great to have ncurses display mode in DF not as dirty hack, but legit option to choose from.

Baughn, so will you keep working on your graphics lib after Toady release next "stable" DF version?

I can't very well stop. Oh, I might run out of things to do, but I need to stay on the same planet in case Toady runs into some kind of problem with it.

Idea! DF gets PP for free (cheaper than now!) by integrating further into changed-tiles and using terminal-out, rather like Nethack!

Doesn't work! DF must scroll, Nethack does not!

We had a server crash. I'm very sorry! Server's back up now - I hope not too much was lost.

I've switched seasonal autosaves on now - hope it doesn't happen again anyway.

[edit] It happened again. I've disabled overclocking on the server - if it reoccurs, I'm gonna downgrade the kernel. Or upgrade, not sure yet.

[edit2] I just noticed there was some issue with screen. It's resolved now, not that anyone cares at this point. :p

this is a very cool concept, have played nethack on the public server (everyone who logs in get their own nethack session) for last 4 or 5 years. this for df would be even better; though i can imagine the server requirement being rather high.

combine this with the DF Map Archive and could view semi live snapshots of a fortress in progress.
