Onderstaande tekst ontving ik in mijn mailbox. Het is geschreven door scs de speler die op onze server als enige is afgedaald tot demigod. Dus wellicht lukt het jou met deze tips ook!
1) Software
Om te beginnen, kies een goede telnet client. De standaard Microsoft Windows client is uitstekend bruikbaar maar mijn favoriet blijft PuTTY. Voor Mac OSX en Unix-achtigen werkt de SSH client of BSD telnet wat mij betreft het beste.
Ongeacht de client speel ik bij voorkeur op 80 columns, 24 rows, 38400 baud.
Zorg ervoor dat de toetsenbordaanslag en -snelheid comfortabel zijn ingesteld, want deze bepalen de speelsnelheid. Kies ook een prettig en duidelijk leesbaar terminal font; mijn favoriet is DejaVu Sans Mono. Ik heb mijn ANSI kleuren ook feller ingesteld in plaats van de standaard modderkleuren. Zie de bijgevoegde screenshot.

Hi there, welcome back!
This post continues the story of nethack. A difficult but intriguing game. If you want to learn how to play this brilliant game start of by reading the introduction newspost followed by the second newspost. We have a nethack server running for you, just use telnet to connect to nethack.snt.utwente.nl.
I hope you managed to reach the end of the gnomish mines. You will need to climb back up to the level where you branched off to the mines. You can use the _-key (travel) to quickly ascent. Just press the _-key, followed by the >-key. The cursor will move to the stairs in the level that go up. Use the .-key to select the stairs and your character will now quickly move to that location using the shortest path possible. Don’t worry about monsters, your character will stop when something interesting happens on the way. Make sure to keep an eye on your status, you might get hungry.
Stashes
When you explore and search for usefull items you’ll soon find yourself collaping under a load of treasure. It’s impossible to carry everything you might need with you all at once. So we need to create a place where we can drop items we don’t need for now, but we might need later on. These are called stashes. Very usefull to keep some extra armor or food locked in a safe place just in case something bad happens.

Hi, welcome back!
Nethack is the ultimate game to learn if you are not afraid of a challenge. It can be very rewarding to learn at least the basics and discover you can make it quite far into this game. You will not forget the first time you reach minetown or medusa’s island. The game is full of surprises and you will find out that the dev-team thinks of everything.
Did you make it to dungeonlevel 5 yet? Try reading the introduction newspost about playing nethack first! This post I’m going to explain about BUC status, the blessed Excalibur, descending the gnomish mines and again some general tips to get you even further towards completing your quest.
This articles assumes you are a lawful human female valkyrie.

Hi All,
I decided to let you in on a little secret. We host the game of nethack on one of our servers. It is a sophisticated game which is a lot of fun but quite hard to learn. In this article I’ll teach you the basics.
Try this:
- click start -> run and type cmd <enter> (or linux/mac users, open up a shell)
- type: telnet nethack.snt.utwente.nl <enter>
(windows 7 users will need a telnet program like putty)
Nice eh? You can create a new user and start playing right away! In the next months I’m going to elaborate some tips and tricks about the game. If you can’t wait for the next post and want to figure things out yourself I’d like to point you to the nethack wiki.
If you don’t know what to do, the most important key for you is the ?-key. It will show the in-game help.
Your first game
Choose your character
When you start a new game the game will ask your race, role, gender and alignment, for now choose the Valkyrie role (v), human race (h) and lawful alignment (l). You can’t choose a gender because Valkyries always start as female. Now you will receive your mission: Your god Tyr seeks to possess the Amulet of Yendor, you descent the dungeons of doom to find it. Sounds dangerous! And there you are! Where you ask? There -> @. That’s right. you are the @-sign. The f-sign is your kitten who will help you on your mission.
Our server automatically enables the number_pad option so you can move around the dungeon by using your numberpad. Typing the 9 on your numberpad for example will move you one square to the north-east. Move around in the room and see if you can find a tunnel (#-signs) or a door (+-sign).

Greetings all,
We’ve decided to no longer wait for camelot to come up and dedicated a different pc to hosting the teamspeak server. You can contact the TS server by connecting to 130.89.149.196:8767.
Our teamspeak is free. This means you can ask for a channel and admin rights over it without any costs related to it. The only thing we ask for is a banner of on your site in return. Pretty slick deal, right?
If I haven’t scared you away just yet because of the banner, the way to ask for a channel to registered is pretty plain and simple:
Contact a Server Admin (SA) on the teamspeak server.
OR
Contact any op / voice on irc.quakenet.org, channel #gamescom.
Have a nice chat!

AvD, short term for Attack versus Defense, is a gametype within Fortress-Forever which concentrates mainly on getting the flag towards capture points, placed after eachother on strategic points on a map. These points are usually placed at the end of choke points and are heavilly defended by the defensive team.
Fortress-Forever (FF) already had a few of these maps, generally taken from the same gameplay type as Team Fortress Classic (TFC), and modded them to fit into FF.
Sadly, for numerous of reasons, this gameplay type has never seen any real action in the last couple of months, regardless of our server being online and giving the possibility of players to play it that way.
P0n, one of the FF developers, has contacted me via steamchat and proposed that we combine forces in this. I already had the server up, yet no players. P0n stated he had a small group which was forming, yet no server to play on.
It now is with great pleasure that I introduce the FF.AvD guild. Below information is taken directly from our forum post (Also available on the official forums).
FF.AvD is a guild formed with the purpose of bringing together players with an interest in AvD/ID gameplay, custom maps, and getting some good AvD games going.
The aims and principles of the guild are as follows:
- A guild for people with a general interest in AvD/ID (Dustbowl and Avanti style) gameplay, maps, and custom maps.
- Good communication, both in-game and out.
- Level of skill of new members is irrelevant – hopefully more experienced members will be willing to teach others if asked.
- No competitive play undertaken by the guild – though individual members can clan however they like outside the guild.
- A low tolerance for intentionally disruptive and annoying behaviour, again both in-game and out.
And above all…
- Fun. It’s not the winning… etc
We also have a steam group – FF.AvD. Currently it is invite only, so anyone wishing to join should let me know.
Also, anyone wishing to join FF.AvD can reply here and I’ll set you up. Or get in touch over steam -
http://steamcommunity.com/id/pon-gunstar
Give it a go! It’s really enjoyable to play with people you know and communicate!
The FF.SNT forum is being used for communication regarding AvD events. The forum also has links towards stats, banlists and server ip addresses.
