CHANGE PROMPT, PROMPT, TWIDDLERS

Use change prompt to set how your prompt looks.

You can enable and disable whether to show the following fields, all 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.

points Show current hit points, mana and movement points unless full.

xp Show experience points needed to next level.

tp Show travel points needed to next level.

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.

alertness Show your current alertness as A<digit> where A1 is normal, A2 is careful, etc.

mood Show your current combat mood as M<digit> where M1 is wimpy, M2 is prudent, etc.

spell-effort Show your default spellcasting effort as S<digit> where S1 is quick, S2 is fast, etc.

position

Show your current position as one of the following:

`P1`	dying	`P5`	resting
`P2`	incapacitated	`P6`	sitting
`P3`	stunned	`P7`	fighting
`P4`	sleeping	`P8`	standing

fight Show fight information such as your opponent, their opponent, and any their health.

abbreviate Abbreviate XPs and TPs.

pretype Draw the prompt even with pretyped commands.

redraw Redraw prompts in-place rather than always drawing new prompts on a new line. This does not work well with all clients.

twiddlers Show the twiddling bar (|/-\|/-…) when busy casting spells or similar. This does not work well with all clients.

Example:

  > change prompt points on
  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.

Unless you specify on or off last, you toggle that setting.

It is common to have all prompts active: change prompt all on.

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

  *%~- CSW A1 M2 P8 S3 HP:Fine Mana:Burning Move:Tired>

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