Akatsuki Netplay Nethack developed by mauve:

If you've attempted to netplay with the latest patch, chances are you probably weren't too pleased with the results. However, a nethack that makes the netplay for Blitzkampf considerably less sucky has been released. (Big & gigantanormous Kudos to mauve for taking his time to do this). The .zip file includes a hacked .exe and a readme file that is composed of directions and changes applied by mauve to make this thing work.
For those that won't bother reading the readme file, Here's how it works:
1. Unzip the contents of the archive
2. Copy the nethack .exe file into your Akatsuki folder
3. Open the nethack .exe file and connect like you would with the regular netplay
There's a few key things that should be known. First of all, the nethack will only work with people using the nethack. Also, this nethack only works for version 1.1.3.1 SP1. It should also be kept in mind that mauve has no intentions of doing this for the following patches (because he pretty much had to decipher the whole netcode, figure out what does what, and tear it apart to make it function as well it does now). However, if you want to discuss things, (or if you just want to find people to try the nethack with) feel free to drop by the #akatsuki channel on the mizuumi irc server.
