|
|
|
|
Any Boolean option can be negated by prefixing it with a '!' or 'no'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compound options are written as option_name:option_value.
|
|
|
|
Compound options which can be set during the game are:
|
|
|
|
boulder override the default boulder symbol with another default:`
|
|
disclose the types of information you want offered at the end of the
|
|
game [all]
|

fruit the name of a fruit you enjoy eating [slime mold]
|
|
(basically a whimsy which NetHack uses from time to time).
|
|
menustyle user interface for selection of multiple objects:
|
|
Traditional -- one object at a time prompting;
|
|
Combination -- prompt for classes of interest, then menu;
|
|
Partial -- skip class prompt, use menu of all objects;
|
|
Full -- menu for classes of interest, then object menu;
|
|
only the first letter ('T','C','P','F') matters; 'N' (None)
|
|
is a synonym for 'T', as is boolean style negation [Full]
|
|
packorder a list of default symbols for kinds of objects that gives the
|
|
order in which your pack will be displayed [")[%?+!=/(*`0_]
|
|
(If you specify only some kinds of items, the others from the
|
|
default order will be appended to the end.)
|
|
pickup_burden when you pick up an item that exceeds this encumberance
|
|
level (Unburdened, Burdened, streSsed, straiNed, overTaxed,
|
|
or overLoaded), you will be asked if you want to continue. [S]
|
|
pickup_types a list of default symbols for kinds of objects to autopickup
|
|
when that option is on [all]
|
|
scores the parts of the score list you wish to see when the game ends
|
|
You choose a combination of top scores, scores around the top
|
|
scores, and all of your own scores. [!own/3 top/2 around]
|
|
suppress_alert disable various version-specific warnings about changes
|
|
in game play or the user interface, such as notification given
|
|
for the 'Q' command that quitting is now done via #quit
|
|
(e.g., use suppress_alert:3.3.1 to stop that and any other
|
|
notifications added in that version or earlier) default: (none)
|
|
|
|
Compound options which may be set only on startup are:
|

|
|
or align:chaotic). You may specify just the first letter. [RANDOM]

|
|
dogname the name of your first dog [NONE]
|
|
dungeon a list of symbols to be used in place of the default ones for
|
|
drawing the dungeon.
|
|
The symbols are subjected to a fair amount of processing, so
|
|
that you can use C-style escapes such as \n or \081 as well as
|
|
indicate control characters by ^x or meta characters by \Mx.
|
|
As usual, \ can force the next character to be taken literally.
|
|
Since many of the default symbols are overloaded, they are
|
|
given here by name instead of symbol, with some added notes:
|
|
stone (solid rock, normally ' ')

|
is recommended that you spell out as much of the role name
|
|
as possible. You can also still denote your role by
