ADOM 1.2.0 Prerelease 17 is now available!

I am very proud to announce the availability of ADOM 1.2.0 Prerelease 17. As usual I am totally convinced that this is the best version of ADOM ever - but this time even more so in so many ways I am going to explain below.

Again a lot of special things have been added, particularly awesome are the first ADOM Sage enhancements being added to the game. This ticket lists all the details and Jochen has outdone himself keeping compatibility to ADOM Sage. Also totally cool is the new feature allowing you to play the game again and again without having to restart it or the new game end menu that makes it much easier and less error-prone to see all important information.

After installing the new version please keep the following things in mind:
  • It is very important to remove the adom.kbd and adom.cfg files for some of the new features to work. If you have modified these files yourself, you should make a backup of them first.
  • You can disable the "animation mode" by changing the following settings:
    • Open the NotEye menu with "Ctrl+m"
    • Open to the animations & scrolling menu: press "m" followed by "c"
    • Change both "movement animation speed" and "auto-centering speed" to 10000
  • You can disable the mouse scrolling:
    • Open the NotEye menu with "Ctrl+m"
    • Open to the animations & scrolling menu: press "m" followed by "c"
    • Change the "manual scrolling speed" to 0
The prerelease is - as usual - only available for folks participating in the prerelease program of ADOM or those who donated to the crowd funding campaign. As usual it's available from the usual place.

Tiny comment on progress

One donor correctly asked for the current lack of visible progress (at least in the areas he is interested in). Here's my response.
