In the old days, I might try killing the process and using the recover program. Though I'm not seeing a pre-built copy of recover for 3.6.0 on nethack.org . If memory serves me, nethack.exe might look for abandoned working files on startup and do an auto-recover. It's not like you've got anything to loose at this point.

Even trying to kick something takes ctrl+d, while other less dangerous actions require a #___. I hope this trap gets addressed in future versions. | |

Explore mode is simply a bitfield in struct flag, so I think it might be possible to use a hex editor to edit the save file. I'll post an answer if I can get it working.

| Sep 20, 2016 at 22:48 | comment | added | slowball16 | I'm playing 343 on windows 10 (online upgrade from 7) , and am not very well-versed in code. So, if it can be done, I'd probably need step by step instruction. For now, I'll just save it and hope that an answer that I can use comes. | |
