These are the files needed to play discband, my pseudo-quasi-semi-variant (the changes are mainly cosmetic). The files are based upon Zangband 2.4.0 by Robert Allen Koeneke, James E. wilson and Robert Ruehlmann It is basically a collection of several hundred little "in" jokes for both fans of the Discworld series of books and players of Zangband. If you don't know about Discworld then I suggest you go to a bookstore, any bookstore, anywhere in the world, and buy as many of these books as you can. Terry Pratchett has been called the dickens of the 20th century (the mail on sunday) and his work has been compared (quite favorably) to Oz, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Alice in Wonderland. My favorites are Moving Pictures, Small Gods, Feet of Clay, Interesting Times, Hogfather, The Last Continent and The Fifth Elephant. Types of changes: 1)Players can now cast spells from the Bumper Fun Grimoir and the Dictionary of Eyewatering Words, drink Winkles olde peculiar, munch on banged grains and wield dwarven battle bread. 2)Players can adventure alongside Archchancellor Ridcully and Cohen the Barbarian against Nibeluningungs, Octorine dragons, Old man trouble, and their ilk. Death doesn't apear (as he would either be an enemy or an ally and he doesnt usualy take sides) but he has misplaced both his scythe and his sword... 3)Almost all the uniques speak apropriate lines. 4)new ego items such as weapons of Sourcery As in the books a fair amount of humor is in the "footnotes" so when playing remember to press * to highlight a monster to see its description. HOW TO IMPLEMENT THESE FILES: These are the info.txt files and speach files(that is all that is needed at this point). In order to use them you must have Zangband aready which can be downloaded at Thangorodrim. To use these files 1)go into the zangband\libs\edit drawre and move these files to a safe place: a_info.txt e_info.txt k_info.txt r_info.txt t_basic.txt t_lite.txt t_0000001.txt t_0000002.txt 2)goto the Zangband\libs\file drawr and do likewise with: crime.txt error.txt mondeath.txt monfear.txt monfrien.txt monspeak.txt news.txt 3)In their place put my text files, making sure you put the right files in the right place. 4)Go into the zangband\libs\data drawr and delete all the info.raw files (you dont have to move these first because zanband will remake them whenever it needs to but they must be deleted first for changes to occur). That's about it. it should take you less than 2 minutes. I'd like to thank Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs who wrote the Discworld Companion which proved to be an invaluable recource for this project. I should also like to thank Greg Woolage for telling me where to post my work. There might have been someone else who attempted to assist me but I accedentaly deleted the email. So thank you to that unknown soldier. comments can be sent to kleitman@aol.com.
