denis2342 over at amiga.org has fixed some bugs and added a few cool changes to Rogue as noted below

bugfixes:
compatible with fastmem now
rogue -s now can return to the shell
scroll of wild magic is now immune to potion of discernment (clearly the developers wanted it this way)
fixed the three typos (thuderclaps, missle and instructiuons)
scroll of wild magic is now shown with its name after declining to use it
if you identify an item where you have two of it (or more) all item descriptions get updated.
setting the macro now works (shift-f)
scroll names do not end with a space anymore
update screen titlebar after restoring a game to show rank and stuff
fixed creation of gold in _create_obj (wizard mode only)
the ability to see the invisible actually works now

changes:
if the Rogue.Char file is missing the game still works (try this!
show_map and show_passages code is now reconnected (wizard mode only)
food_left and show_inpack is added (wizard mode only)
fastmode now has a small pause added so you can still see the player
bitmap handling now uses only 4 big memory allocations and not 288 small ones
print actual score with color in topten list (seems only to work in v40)
reactivated the beep function
added the shortcuts to the command menu
hiding strength,maxhp and xp in the highscore file (can be overwritten by long names)
limited the repeat count to 99

Neat stuff Could somebody upload the ADF to the Zone as I don't remember if I have an Amiga.org account and/or the password.

[klx300r]

no problem will do tomorrow

Nice! It's been a couple of years since I last played Rogue. Time to dust off the floppy for a rewrite

[klx300r]

@ TCD

Super awesome, this. It always annoys me to run fully multitasking games inside WHDLoad. :-D

@klx300r Can I confirm that the "BLUE" colored title screen is normal or not? because the version before this was normal colored RED

@klx300r
thank you for your efforts on this game. However, I noticed 2 unusual things :
- you've moved the system-configuration file to the S folder. This is the wrong place for the configuration to take effect. Any particular reason for doing this?
- The "stack 10240" command is never executed because the stack file is a ... virus (BGS9). as the stack space is not increased, this is not expected to cause any problems in game operation?

@ Crashdisk

I was just spreading the news as it was denis2342 over at amiga.org that made the changes. If you don’t have an amiga.org account I can post your questions there for you if you wish

ah ok, I hadn't paid attention to that point. I don't have an account on this site, so I accept your proposal.
Thank you!

After so long time, looks like it's time to give another go to this cool game (after removing the virus of course )

Thanks denis2342 for you work (& @klx300r for letting us know)

[Crashdisk]

In the meantime, I've posted a version with the original stack file and the config file in the right place. It' in The Zone!

EDIT:

Fixed in a separate disk, still in The Zone. Please test before collecting!

In the case of Rogue I agree, as the only reason for the WHDLoad patch was the disk check. However, more often than not, fully multiasking games are rather buggy, so WHDLoad patches certainly do make sense. I do understand where you are coming from, though.
