Ah, thanks, so I have a -4 to my penalty or something?

Can I name my pet something so I don't keep getting "little dog"?

[JoshuaFH]

Also, is their a guide to completing the various Sokoban levels? I keep screwing up bad.

[ToonyMan]

I know you can rename your dog.

I also know there is a guide to beat Sokoban.

This page has links to the solutions of all the individual sokoban levels.

Be warned though, it ruins the fun.

I'm running archaeologists in explorer mode, so I can practice the Sokoban levels.

I found a funny message during the practice though, an Ant was bothing me, and I thought "Hey, why not?" and I zapped it with a wand of polymorph only for it to turn into a mindflayer. After getting totally raped by it's attacks and I die, I chose to not die, and the game tells me "You feel like a scarecrow".

Much laughing ensued.

My dog is named "I Wanted a Kitty".
My cat is named "I Wanted a Pony".
My horse is named "I Wanted A Puppy".

Also considered: !Fluffy (dog), !Trigger (cat), !Fido (horse)
Also also considered: !Lucky
Also also also considered: !!Pet!!

"!" in front of a word means "not", for those who don't know.

How do I name pets? Sorry for being dense.

Depends on the version.

Mine is defaults.nh, which you can open with notepad. Just uncomment the options you want to use and replace the necessary spots.

[deadlycairn]

Isn't there a name option somewhere? Just go into the commands menu, thats what I use. If I recall correctly it was hard to work out how to use it though.

Wasn't it with the same command you name items with?  Maybe capital C for 'call'?  Meh, it's been a long time :/

Yeah, I like puzzles as much as the next guy, and I can do the first three just fine, but the fourth ones run face first into the level of difficulty where the the inability to undo your actions is incredibly frustrating.

I also find it incredibly frustrating when I'm pushing the boulder down the corridor to the pit, when a monster spawns right inbetween the boulder and the pit! There's no way to pull the boulders, so the monster is stuck and the puzzle is unbeatable unless you intervene through magical means.

Plus, items and monsters sometimes spawn on the pits themselves, which is incredibly odd.

That just means your playing the wrong game.

Being killed for no reason and having the game become impossible due to the roll of the dice is all about Nethack! (RANT)

Sorry... I really got to get over these things.

And Incredibly hilarious.
