Prompt

The prompt command allows you to customize what information is shown on your prompt. The possible arguments (for mortals) are: points, light, terrain, movement, twiddlers, all (of the previous options), or none.

• light - Display one of the following symbols according to lighting conditions:

 *   - Sunlight, either direct or indirect
 !   - Artificial light
 )   - Moonlight, either direct or indirect
 o   - Darkness

• movement - Display R if you are riding, r if you are being ridden, W if you are trying to swim, S if you are trying to sneak, c if you are climbing safely, and C if you're climbing no-matter-what.
• terrain - Display a symbol representing the terrain you are standing on
• weather - Display the current weather conditions if you are outdoors and the sky is not clear (see "help weather"); also display - or = in case of fog
• points - Show current hit points, mana and movement points. Note that nothing is shown if you have full hit/mana/move.
• twiddlers - Show the twiddling bar (|/-\|-...) when busy casting spells or similar.

Example:

 > prompt points
 Your prompt will display health, mana and stamina.
 HP:Wounded Mana:Burning Move:Tired>   <---- this is the new prompt

To disable an option, re-type it.

It's very common to have all prompts active, to do this type 'prompt all'. Note that "prompt all" will only turn on twiddlers if you are in spam mode when you type it.

The prompt for unmounted mortals (not in combat) is at its fullest shown as:

  *%~- WSC HP:Fine Mana:Burning Move:Tired>

Immortals should consult their own help file on prompt as well.
