On PuTTY at least, the Rogue level never looks right with IBMGraphics on. Monsters are missing or misaligned, and the stairs are in a different place than displayed. Does anyone else have this issue?

I don't know.. I've never used PuTTY. IBM graphics doesn't really work with the Java app either.

To be honest I haven't looked at that Java app in years. I don't really suggest it as anything other than a last resort, although if there is a better one out there we can always put it up on NAO.

Generally putty is the best bet all around for telnet from Windows though.

Soiled is a TELNET client and partial vt100/vt102/xterm terminal emulator implemented in flash that works quite well for playing NetHack with. I don't think it supports IBMGraphics yet though, only DECGraphics, but it can be added if needed.

Well, I just retried it, and the same thing happened as the last time I tried setting it up: I can't seem to get it working. Yes, the policy-file is served correctly, AFAICS, but it still complains about a security error.

I just tried to connect to nethack.alt.org, port 843 and I got "Connection refused", but perhaps you removed it again? The policy file needs to be served from the same domain name as the flash-app is trying to connect to (not the domain that the flash app is being downloaded from). See dum.acc.umu.se, port 843 for another example of a policy file. If you start serving the policy file again, I can probably debug it for you.

The policy file is served on port 14322

Interestingly, It Now Works; the non-working bit may have had something to do with me being at work. But I'm not going to use it until few issues are fixed... I'll put those in to the soiled's issue tracker, though.

Edit: I managed to compile the code, and changed the biggest issues I had with it: the default colors. So, now it's there.

I use putty as well, with no problems. I'd suggest it to anybody.

Yes, and I'm pretty sure I've figured out the cause and half a workaround.
Cause: The character that replaces @ in the rogue level is some kind of escape character in PuTTy.
Workaround: Turn "showrace" on, only works for dwarves, orcs, and gnomes.

There isn't an option to change the rogue graphics in the config file, a more permanent solution would need a patch to either NAO or PuTTy.
