'speak friend and enter'

it's the answer to the riddle on the gates of moria which gandalf answers

On 13 January 3019 the Fellowship of the Ring entered Moria through the Doors,[5] but initially Gandalf could not find out the password to open them. Merry Brandybuck unknowingly gave Gandalf the answer by asking, "What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter?" When Gandalf realized that the correct translation was "Say friend and enter" he sprang up, laughed, and said "Mellon", which means "friend" in Sindarin, and the Doors opened. Shortly thereafter, the Watcher in the Water attacked the Fellowship and shut the Doors behind them.[1] Afterwards Khazad-dûm was resettled by Dwarves; it is unknown if the Doors of Durin were ever repaired.

okay so turns out the easiest way to attach the file was on discord if you check there.

@Nick I sent you the savefile in question. The self-downloading thing has been broken since versioning was added, I'll try and look into whatever else can be done.

Edited the title, bump this again if/when it happens in future

cleared.

Maybe make a thread for crashes?

Yeah it looks like what you've done here is to do for (frog?)composband what I did for whichever nightly version of angband I did my JS script for, the problem comes when all angbands have (sometimes) very similar but not quite the same formats, but DM has been working on it, I am looking for the time to do it. I have gotten a new PC and have been very distracted by the pretty 3D tank battles it lets me fight and have just been catching up on making new job applications.

I have chosen Eclipse to use as an IDE and have imported some angband-related projects which I also need to catch up on as I learn my way around Eclipse. Have also ditched windows and linux is so mind-bogglingly simple it's difficult to conceptualise my workflow with all the same clunky slow-moving parts I had on windows.

Ok very good but I think there's some confusion, now we have my prototype for a parser in node.js, DavidMedley's prototype in Perl, and now yours in Go. You (specifically you) can see the perl scripts in /home/angwiki/

As long as there's some sort of plugin-able template which describes a variant that any of our parser scripts can read then it doesn't matter which one we use, really.

for the minute I just want everything in tables in the MySQL dB, once we have that we can present the information any way we like and have SQL selects automatically to run searches against them, eg

List level 60-80 unique D's from every variant, show every monster marked DEMON in vanilla, etc.

Here's a typical file:

I'm just saying we should establish a convention for writing templates for these structures so the parser knows what to look for.
