(new improved bug killer) It seems I've messed up (yet again). I do NOT have the correct wizards password, it's a long story but it turns out that the one I have is not the right one (ie. it doesn't work). I apologise to those of you who wanted to know what the password was and I'm sorry if I raised any false hopes. This was a genuine mistake on my part. cheers.

WE HAVE VERSION 5.3 HERE AT OUR UNIVERSITY BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE
PEOPLE ON THE NET ARE SPEAKING ABOUT WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE WIZARD'S
PASSWORD.
1.) COULD SOME ONE EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS, OUR DOCUMENTATION IS NOT THAT GOOD.
2.) HOW DO WE USE THIS?
THANKS

The only thing the wizards password does is lets the administrator or the person who is updating the game play in a special mode which allows he/she to find bugs.. Nothing really impressive unless you are into cheating. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Ryan Ramsey UCLA Computer Science Department | | Home Phone- (213) 391-2888 | | | | ARPA- ryan@ucla-locus.arpa | | UUCP- ..!{sdcrdcf,ihnp4,trwspp,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!ryan | | | | PROgress- The opposite of CONgress. | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The wizard password is basically a password that allows you to do things others normally can not do. It varies from rogue to rogue. On some it allows you to play regardless of what the load average is, and on most it allows you to create objects, map levels, look and all the monsters, and other fun stuff. - Warren Lavallee

> What is the wizard's password and what does it do?
I have no idea what the password is.
Depending on the version of rogue you have, once you become "wizard"
you can do things like this:
Create any object or monster
Delete people from the topten list, or see their real login names
Get a map of the floor
Teleport at any time
Get an inventory of everything on the level
Get "help" (+8,+8 sword, 10 experience levels, food, etc.)
See how much food you have left, in turns
Identify anything you have
Look at memory usage
Peek at the random number generator
Find your true location
Generally, once you've become wizard you won't be put in the top-ten list
(no doubt to avoid discouraging the underprivileged :-). Also, some versions
(srogue 2.?, UltraRogue, etc.) have a "control" program so that in addition
to knowing the password, your UID must be recorded in an "authors" file.
In PC-Rogue, the password is a no-op.

Also, (at least in rogue 3.6) when you go into wizard mode your score will not
be posted to the list of top scorers.

The last time I saw any wizard password, it was
'Yendor'. There are some additional commands, which
if you can get into wizard mode, I might be able
to find out for you.
