Borg command problem with version 3.2.0

[APWhite]

Hey all-

I spent all christmas day getting the borg up to date for 320. After fixing about 400+ compiler errors. I got it to compile and think (sort of). the borg will load up and examine the screen but it cannot act. You can hit ^zh to see his skill set, or z$ to load the borg.txt rules, and other non-action things (like checking power, fear, map, grids, etc)

It looks as if the inkey_hack is broken. Did you guy mess with the inkey_hack at all? The borg is trying to send a command to the game but it is not being recognized as a legitimate command.

Here is a copy of the borg320 files and the game files that need to be modified in order to make the borg run. Any change to a game file (externs, birth, calcs, etc) are clearly marked with APW. (Game changes basically require an extern for certain objects).

Note that the screensaver is not working yet. It was broken in 312 due to a change in the way commands were processed.

If someone can figure out what is going on with the inkey_hack or command processor, I'd appreciate it. I won't be able to dig into that stuff.

Best of luck on getting to 3.2...I personally can't wait.

Not an answer to your question but rather a bump and a question for you. I've been messing with your 3.09b Borg and I'm having a hard time getting my settings to react the way i'd like so I thought I'd just explain what I'd hope to see and you tell me which True/False would get me the closest.

*Looking for more diving, less shopping even a low levels
*Looking for recalling rather than trolling around 1-2 levels then returning to town for more shopping.
*Basically I'd like to see diving for loot, selling when full, restarting at previous level.

It would be hard to get him to survive with that motto. One thing to keep him alive is the munchkin_start. He will scum stairs and grab loot close to stairs. He will also attack guys close to the stairs. This option really increases low level survivability.
