Glitch - Duplicate Items | |
| Go to stairs of any level (except upstairs level 1), and drop the item(s) you want to duplicate near the stairs. Now take the stairs up/down. Then, alt-tab out of the game and go to your /nethack directory. You will see some files like <name>.0, <name>.1, <name>.2, etc. The number at the end stands for what level you are on. Ignore the one with 0 at the end. Now copy the level that you dropped the items on, and put it somewhere outside the /nethack directory. Now go back up/down the stairs, pick up your item(s) you wish to duplicate, and go back up/down the stairs once more. Then, put the file of the level with your items back into your /nethack folder. Click 'yes' to overwrite. Then, go back up/down the stairs and there are your precious itemsYour final score should still be recorded even though you cheated. | |
Glitch - Loading Games After You Die | |
| If you have a character, in your /nethack folder you should see something like <name>.NetHack-saved-game. These are your save files. To prevent your character from being erased after death, simply copy the file of your character outside of the /nethack directory. The next time you die, you can just copy the save file back into the Nethack folder and play from where you saved last time. Note: This might be a bit frustrating since you have to copy and overwrite every time you save, but it works | |
Glitch - Crash the game with "Trickery" as the reason you died. | |
| Perform the "duplicate items" glitch, and since it's been fixed, it'll kill your character with "Trickery" as the excuse. | |
