# File: history.txt # This file is used to initialize the "player history" information for # the Angband game. # Do not modify this file unless you know exactly what you are doing, # unless you wish to risk possible system crashes and broken savefiles. # Background information: # Pieces of player backstory are chosen from "charts", which are lists of # phrases or sentences with similar general meaning. # 'chart' lines give the number of the current chart, the number of the chart # that will be used next (or 0 if the last chart), and a cutoff for choosing # the current line. If the first field in two chart lines is the same, the # second should be as well, to maintain consistent choices and end up with # something readable. # 'phrase' lines are the actual chart entries which make up the history. # Chart progression by race: # Human/Dunadan --> 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 50 --> 51 --> 52 --> 53 # Half-Elf --> 4 --> 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 50 --> 51 --> 52 --> 53 # Elf --> 5 --> 6 --> 9 --> 54 --> 55 --> 56 # High-Elf --> 7 --> 8 --> 9 --> 54 --> 55 --> 56 # Hobbit --> 10 --> 11 --> 3 --> 50 --> 51 --> 52 --> 53 # Gnome --> 13 --> 14 --> 3 --> 50 --> 51 --> 52 --> 53 # Dwarf --> 16 --> 17 --> 18 --> 57 --> 58 --> 59 --> 60 --> 61 # Half-Orc --> 19 --> 20 --> 2 --> 3 --> 50 --> 51 --> 52 --> 53 # Half-Troll --> 21 --> 22 --> 62 --> 63 --> 64 --> 65 --> 66 # Kobold --> 23 --> 24 --> 25 --> 26 --> 67 --> 68 --> 69 # This table *must* be correct or the history may look very silly. # Note that the "spacing" in the "description" lines is very important! chart:1:2:10 phrase:You are the illegitimate and unacknowledged child chart:1:2:20 phrase:You are the illegitimate but acknowledged child chart:1:2:95 phrase:You are one of several children chart:1:2:100 phrase:You are the first child chart:2:3:40 phrase:of a Serf. chart:2:3:65 phrase:of a Yeoman. chart:2:3:80 phrase:of a Townsman. chart:2:3:90 phrase:of a Guildsman. chart:2:3:96 phrase:of a Landed Knight. chart:2:3:99 phrase:of a Titled Noble. chart:2:3:100 phrase:of a Royal Blood Line. chart:3:50:20 phrase:You are the black sheep of the family. chart:3:50:80 phrase:You are a credit to the family. chart:3:50:100 phrase:You are a well liked child. chart:4:1:15 phrase:Your mother was of the Avari. chart:4:1:30 phrase:Your father was of the Avari. chart:4:1:50 phrase:Your mother was of the Nandor. chart:4:1:70 phrase:Your father was of the Nandor. chart:4:1:85 phrase:Your mother was of the Sindar. chart:4:1:95 phrase:Your father was of the Sindar. chart:4:1:98 phrase:Your mother was of the Noldor. chart:4:1:100 phrase:Your father was of the Noldor. chart:5:6:60 phrase:You are one of several children chart:5:6:100 phrase:You are the only child chart:6:9:40 phrase:of an Avarin chart:6:9:70 phrase:of a Nandorin chart:6:9:100 phrase:of a Sindarin chart:7:8:60 phrase:You are one of several children chart:7:8:100 phrase:You are the only child chart:8:9:75 phrase:of a Telerin chart:8:9:95 phrase:of a Noldorin chart:8:9:100 phrase:of a Vanyarin chart:9:54:40 phrase:Ranger. chart:9:54:70 phrase:Archer. chart:9:54:87 phrase:Warrior. chart:9:54:95 phrase:Mage. chart:9:54:99 phrase:Prince. chart:9:54:100 phrase:King. chart:10:11:85 phrase:You are one of several children of a Hobbit chart:10:11:100 phrase:You are the only child of a Hobbit chart:11:3:20 phrase:Burglar. chart:11:3:30 phrase:Miller. chart:11:3:40 phrase:Tavern Owner. chart:11:3:50 phrase:Archer. chart:11:3:80 phrase:Warrior. chart:11:3:95 phrase:Shirriff. chart:11:3:99 phrase:Mayor. chart:11:3:100 phrase:Clan Elder. chart:13:14:85 phrase:You are one of several children of a Gnome chart:13:14:100 phrase:You are the only child of a Gnome chart:14:3:20 phrase:Beggar. chart:14:3:50 phrase:Braggart. chart:14:3:75 phrase:Prankster. chart:14:3:95 phrase:Warrior. chart:14:3:100 phrase:Mage. chart:16:17:25 phrase:You are one of two children of a Dwarven chart:16:17:100 phrase:You are the only child of a Dwarven chart:17:18:10 phrase:Thief. chart:17:18:25 phrase:Prison Guard. chart:17:18:75 phrase:Miner. chart:17:18:90 phrase:Warrior. chart:17:18:99 phrase:Priest. chart:17:18:100 phrase:King. chart:18:57:15 phrase:You are the black sheep of the family. chart:18:57:85 phrase:You are a credit to the family. chart:18:57:100 phrase:You are a well liked child. chart:19:20:25 phrase:Your mother was an Orc, chart:19:20:100 phrase:Your father was an Orc, chart:20:2:20 phrase:and it is acknowledged.
