What is the point of different melee weapon types?

I know that some classes or races get bonii on some types, but for example Orc Warrior to whom all melee weapon types are equal, why would you choose one over the other? So far I read that:
- Some are rarer for certain handedness.
- Wood chopping properties differ
- Swords cannot be damaged by fire ...

"format not a string literal and no format arguments"

The file account/accedit.c in the source contains the lines such as
mvprintw(LINES - 1, 0, info);
mvprintw(LINES - 1, 0, prompt);
These lines cause compilation of TomeNET-4.8.0 to fail with the error "format not a string literal and no format arguments" when trying to compile on 32-bit NixOS.

I ...

Re: TomeNET skill builder v2.0

Poisonous Fog is still in the skill builder. Also, it says that Drain Life Lv6 can be acquired by training Occult Shadow only, but from reading the guide that seems to not be possible. I am not sure whether the tool, the guide, or my understanding of the guide is wrong here.

Golems

What is the easiest way to get all the golem parts? I once found an arm while digging, so I guess digging is useful for people seeking to create a golem. But what about the other parts? Also, what is thew best strategy to use golems? Maybe have them weaken opponents and then finishing them off from ...

Re: Scroll Traps

I'm going to try those sometime. So far this is what I've gathered (it could be that a lot of this is wrong or incomplete):

Summon Monster
Summons monster hostile to trapper

Light
Does damage to target
Cures trapper's Blindness from darkness when close to trap

Holy Chant
Does damage to target ...

Re: [list] website and guide bugs

https://www.tomenet.eu/guide.php?chapter=2.2 says "A player usually has exactly one account that can hold up to 8 characters." which is not true anymore.

Scroll Traps

What are good scrolls for traps? I tried some bad scrolls like Summon Monster but it seems that when the trap activates it just summons a monster that's hostile to me instead of to the one who activated the trap.

Which key mapping is better?

Why are the key mappings different? Which is better? Personally I am leaning towards the rouge key mapping because it does not require the usage of a numpad. I dislike using the numpad because it's slower and I dislike needing the numpad because not all systems have them. How can you play quickly ...

Re: [SOLVED] client/w_play.c: No such file or directory

It looks like TomeNET 4.7.3 just came out today and the timing is great. TomeNET 4.7.3 compiles fine on my NixOS 20.09 installation. So the problem is solved by upgrading to TomeNET 4.7.3.

Re: client/w_play.c: No such file or directory

NixOS 20.09. The strange part is that the package stopped working during the upgrade from 20.03. I did not change the package. NixOS uses a hash to verify that the downloaded source code is the same, so the downloaded source code should still be the same as it were when it worked. NixOS also forces ...
