Peace be with you,
I started playing TomeNET sometime in 2008; until sometime in Spring last year I adventured often with Kurzel on the main server.
I wonder why there are now two sites and if the plain TOME site is still updated.
I made the TOME & TomeNET SlackBuilds so the games can be played on Slackware GNU/Linux. I wonder if I should make a 4.4.4a build or if that is an alpha. However, I do not have advanced knowledge of POSIX programming and related command line tools. The SlackBuilds team did not want to accept my TomeNET build because I have not memorized 'diff,' 'patch,' etc., some of which were necessary. I was wondering if anyone here uses Slackware and those and wants to take over the build.
Bright blessings,
David (Darwin Vanir)

There are two sites because we got tired of the old outdated TomeNET site. TomeNET and ToME are different games so we wanted to make our own site. I think there are some people still working on ToME but I don't know when they'll get around to updating the site.darwin wrote:I wonder why there are now two sites and if the plain TOME site is still updated.
4.4.4a is not an alpha version. The 'a' only indicates that it's a small update over 4.4.4. I don't personally use Slackware so I don't really want to take over the build. I don't know what kind of a reception the first slackbuild got, but updating it shouldn't be too difficult.darwin wrote:I made the TOME & TomeNET SlackBuilds so the games can be played on Slackware GNU/Linux.

Actually I had forgotten what happened. I made the TOME SlackBuild first, which had to have the Makefile patched, then I made the TomeNET one, which worked fine as it is, but then the SlackBuilds team did not want me to maintain the TomeNET one because the TOME one had had a problem... so I will have to go to the TOME forum and mention their Makefile.

Tome and Tomenet are very different games with different source code too, they cannot be compared just because the names are similar.darwin wrote:...the SlackBuilds team did not want me to maintain the TomeNET one because the TOME one had had a problem...

Re: Peace be with you, from Darwin
To that end, have you ever considered renaming the project? Not that the current name bothers me, but it does seem to cause a lot of confusion for people.
Re: Peace be with you, from Darwin
Yes, we have considered renaming the project. In the past the problem has been that we haven't been able to come with a good new name.

It only had to do with if I had the ability to maintain more than one build.C.
