CHANGE PROMPT, PROMPT

Use change prompt to set how your prompt looks.

You can enable and disable whether to show these fields: 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, s if you are trying to sneak but cannot currently 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. See help terrain.

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 unless full.

twiddlers Show the twiddling bar (|/-\|-...) when busy casting spells or similar.

Example:

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

Note: HP is not shown when you are healthy and not in combat, Mana is not shown when full, and Move is not shown if you are not tired.

To disable an option, re-type it.

It's very common to have all prompts active, to do this type change prompt all. Note that change 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:

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

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