Hi there.
I took the latest ivan CVS, got it to compile with gcc 4.5, converted it into a Git repository, added some of the nukes' changes for 64 bits, taken from http://www.attnam.com/downloads.php?id=7
The resulting stuff is available here: http://gitorious.org/ivan
... and only then I noticed that ivan isn't half as dead as I thought, there are offshoots and variants and stuff. Perhaps I'll get around to merging them into mine.

Not sure it means anything, since it's not exactly official. Be forewarned also that there are rumors of official changes on the way (which I shall not speak much of due to not being impressed by past failure for such rumors to manifest and also a desire to avoid false hopes that it will arrive at all, much less anytime soon).

Oh, it just means the same old good IVAN is runnable on modern systems. I have no plans nor time nor skill at game developing to develop it much further. OTOH if somebody would team up...
Footnote: actually I've had reports of my variant segfaulting when leaving New Attnam, so it's known to be buggy as well.

I've got a bug report for it, though I haven't done a thorough examination of the problem to see if it actually exists.
I'm finding a whole lot of bottles of Valdemar, and no other potions. I did find a bottle of sulphuric acid, but have yet to find a health potion or antidote potion. I don't recall finding this problem with any other variant (including those based on ivan cvs).

That's a problem in the scripting, it was present in the CVS version and I think early versions of Z's 3D version.
It's fixable on the client side, the valdemar rates are ramped up out the ass and hardly anything else spawns. As I recall, it's in the items script file, just figure it out yourself or wait for someone that remembers better than I.

Proudly bringing disaster and mental scarring to Attnam since '05!

That explains it... 0.5 had Valdemar at a frequency of 1 (so, it should spawn about 1% as often as water), where CVS had it at 10000.
