Necklace of the Eye frontend

I'm using this with PWMAngband to get alternate display modes like isometric or first person PoV. I'm wondering if it would work with TomeNET, especially to display tiles.

Pre-requisite: a full console client. Angband (and PWMAngband) has such client (GCU) which uses Curses and is really minimalistic.

What do we need to make it work with TomeNet?

What do we need to make it work with TomeNet?
- a console client (like the GCU client from Angband -- compile with NCurses for Linux and PDCurses for Windows)
- a set of custom tiles

I'm dummy at programming :(Compiling something... Last time I compiled C program 10+ years ago :) It would be quite hard for me. I even have no idea what is console client :oops: So not much help from me there :roll:

But there is quite good guide about this program: http://www.roguetemple.com/z/noteye/dev.php

Tiles could be found there: http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?tit ... ical_tiles

For example, http://rltiles.sourceforge.net/ is great looking tiles and completely free.

I'll be glad to help with drawing and assigning tiles to TomeNet objects, but to do so I need dummy instructions :mrgreen:

I saw your message in-game that you started compiling GCU. Any good news? :)

Unfortunately you need some special compiler to get anything from the source because it's not ANSi complient and spits thousands of compilation error with a normal compiler. So I gave up. If anyone is willing to compile the source with main.gcu as its main entry point, feel free to do so.
