This file contains instructions on setting up your .mangrc file,
which is used to set your nickname, password, race, class, and sex
for each different server you log into, or every server at once.
The .mangrc file has as many "blocks" of information as you want.
Each block corresponds to a different MAngband server. The
distribution file has only block, the "default" block that is
used if no other block matches.
NOTE -- This file is called "mangband.ini" for the windows client.
It must be present in the current directory when you try to run
the client.
Each block is delimited by a "server" line and an "end" line. The
server that the block is used for appears after the word "server"
on the server line.
Inside a block, there are five different lines that should appear.
One sets your nickname, another your password, and the last three
set your race, class, and sex. Your nickname is seen by everyone
else. Your password is only used to make sure that no one uses
your character while you are not logged in. Your race, class, and
sex have the same effect they do in Angband.
The numbers that appear after the race, class, and sex lines are
documented in the example mangrc file.
The "stat" line determines the importance of each stat. The first
number specifies the most important stat (say, INT for a mage), the
second specifies second most important, and so on.
For example, say I wanted to be BEAST the Dunadan Paladin on Hao's
server running at mangband.mit.edu. I would have a block something
like this --
server mangband.mit.edu
nick BEAST
pass somepassword
race 8
class 5
sex 1
stat 1 5 3 4 2 6
end
Note that the server name after the word "server" must be EXACTLY
the same as how you type it in as the argument to mangclient.
And on every server in the world, I want to be Keldon the Hobbit
Rogue. So my default block would be --
server default
nick Keldon
pass someotherpass
race 3
class 3
sex 1
stat 4 1 5 2 3 6
end
That's it! Now, copy your .mangrc file to your home directory.
Acknowledments:
Donald Sharp (dsharp@unixpros.com) came up with the idea
of having different blocks for each server and wrote the initial
code to do it.
Hao Chen (hao@mit.edu) really does run a server at MIT.
