Old spoilers

Boudewijn Wayers' FTP site ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/games/nethack/ or the corresponding WWW-Page http://www.win.tue.nl/games/roguelike/nethack/index.html contains a large number of quality spoiler files. Most were written for NetHack 3.1.

The following files are now completely replaced by this new set of files:
armour See armr-322.
artifact See arti-322.
corpses See food-322.
damages See arti-322.
enchant.lim See armr-322 and weap-322.
food See food-322
gems See gems-322
itemlist See tabs-322.
markers See scrl-322 and spel-322.
objects See tabs-322.
protect See armr-322.
rings.eat See ring-322.
statues See misc-322.
water See pot1-322 and pot2-322.
weapons See weap-322.
weapons.srt See weap-322.
These files are partially replaced by the new set of spoilers:
cancel See wand-322.
timedate Partly in gems322.
These spoilers are not related to the new set, but they look like they need updating to 3.2.2:
use the context menu of your browser to download the files
altars Needs probabilities of converting altar -- and you.
classes Needs commentary on weapon skills of each class.
classabi Perhaps should be merged with classes?
dungeon Needs new Minetown, Mine end, Big Room, and Medusa.
dungeon.map Needs new Minetown, Mine end, Big Room, and Medusa.
endgame Helm of opposite alignment no longer a good idea.
intrinsi.cs Clairvoyance now from wizard cornathaum.
monsters.lng Needs gargoyle, winged gargoyle, black light. Mind flayer amnesia. Baby dragons don't confer intrinsics.
to_die There's plenty more.
trouble Needs punishment+pit trick, etc.
wishing Should be reviewed. PYEC no longer as good.
Finally, these spoilers look okay to me at first glance, but since I haven't checked them carefully against the source code, I could be mistaken:
crowning Looks okay.
exper Looks okay.
exercise Looks okay.
gremlins Looks okay.
monequip Looks okay.
pets Looks okay.
priests Looks okay.
quests.map Looks okay.
raising Looks okay.
speed Looks okay.
stats Looks okay.
timeout Looks okay.
xp_value Looks okay.
