Thangorodrim FAQ

I've found a bug/spelling error/broken link/... on your site, should I tell you about it?
YES! If you find an error on my page then please tell me, so that I can fix it.
I have created this cool new page. Can you add a link to it?
Sure. If it's Angband related then I'll add it. Just send me a mail with the address (and maybe some background infos).
Where did you get the pictures on your pages from?
Most pictures are from the Rolozo Tolkien Archive. Some are created by Angband fans, like the "Draconian Mage" on the development page by "Kierstal", or by friends of mine like Katrin Winzer's "Dragon head" on the download page. And some are even created by myself (like the buttons, logos, system icons, backgrounds, and the navigation-signpost).
Can I use the Thangorodrim banner on my site as a link to Thangorodrim?
Sure. Note that there I provide a special version of the banner without transparency effects that usually looks better.

Is there any mirror sites where I can get file xyz?
The mirror sites ftp.sunet.se and the australian mirror ftp.planetmirror.com provide alternative downloads.
My company won't allow FTP access. Is there a way to get xyz by HTTP?
You can use http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/games/Angband/ or http://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/angband/.
Is there any way to get the files per e-mail?
Yes. You can send an e-mail to ftpmail@ftp.sunet.se with just the word help in the message-body, to get instructions on how to get the ftp-server to mail you files.

I have lots of cool ideas for Angband, should I send them to you?
No. If you send them to me then I'll usually read the mail, perhaps say to myself "good idea", and then forget it. Please send your ideas to the Angband newsgroup rec.games.roguelike.angband.
I have this large binary file with xyz, should I send it to you?
No! Do not send any binaries unless I ask you to do so! If you send binaries of any kind without having been asked to do so, you'll be regarded as a moron and I'll not care for whatever you want. Sorry for sounding annoyed, but I'm really sick of wasting my time and money on such things. If you had to pay the telephone fees we have here in Germany you would be annoyed too.
Why aren't my e-mails answered?
I usually receive between 10-20 Angband related e-mails every day. I rarely have enough time to answer all of them. I try to, but on most days my inbox grows larger with unanswered mails. I try to reply to the important stuff (like bugreports and praise), but sometimes even these remain unanswered.
Please don't take this as a personal offense, but I really don't have much spare time. I do this for fun, and often something else is more fun than answering mails.
Often it might be more effective to post your question to the Angband newsgroup rec.games.roguelike.angband.

How do I beat monster X? What does a potion of foo do? ...
Sorry, but I can't help you with gameplay questions. Please post your question to the Angband newsgroup rec.games.roguelike.angband.
Can I play Angband online?
MAngband and T.o.M.E.net are multiplayer versions that can be played over the internet.
