Public Free ADOM Server

[gut]

I'm posting a few lines from Jaakos's old server help page here.
I'll only post the lines that pertain to putty configuration.

  Window -> Rows: 25 (you NEED this to launch ADOM!)
  Window -> Columns: 80 (this should be the default)
  Terminal -> Bell -> None (bell disabled)
  Features -> Disable application keypad mode
  Terminal -> Keyboard -> xterm R6 (in order to use the function keys properly)

- Just a heads up that if you press Ctrl-s, it will suspend your session. This is an in-built thing in *nix systems and thus cannot be turned off. When your session is suspended, it will look as though it is frozen. Don't panic You can easily unsuspend it by pressing Ctrl-q.

Yes it can be turned off or assigned to any other key.

stty stop "" # disable
stty stop "^T" #set to Ctrl-T

HTH, see man stty for more details. You can remap all special keys and do much more with stty.

I keep getting

'Server refused our key' message

logging in as

I'm not affiliated in any way with this server and have not yet used it. IIRC there were instructions for logging in in the original message and it told username/password login was not supported, only key authentication. You have to download a key to your machine and use it for login. It is likely you haven't used this method of authentication before, as most shell hosts do allow username/password for login and this method is optional (but it has the advantage that it does not require you to provide a password if the key you use is not encrypted).

I can't save my game on this server

[kapsi]

So can you change command-key bindings or not? I'm confused...

[fazisi]

I don't think it is on this server (or I might not have seen it). I have wished for it too but djinni tells me it is a foolish wish. I asked politely a second time and he laughed at me.

we all laughed at you

For now there are 2 .kbd configurations, Sorear's and default.
Same as there are 2 .cfg configurations, mine and default.
The day may come where things are more configurable, but
with the resurection of ancardia.ath.cx, there are options.

If you have questions/support I do hang about the IRC channel more than here. (#adom on freenode)

There is some sort of bug where it doesn't always ask you to save your session--it goes directly from you pressing 'n' + return when it asks you if you want to restore your save games to closing the servers connection (your session is deleted immediately). Not sure what causes it, but it has happened to me twice now.
