I kept REINCARNATION (because I use it and it works) and SEDUCE (it doesn't work but might be made to at some point). The showborn option is now default.

Welcome to NetHack! ( description of version 3.4 )
|
|
|
|
NetHack is a Dungeons and Dragons like game where you (the adventurer)
|
|
descend into the depths of the dungeon in search of the Amulet of Yendor,
|
|
reputed to be hidden somewhere below the twentieth level. You begin your
|
|
adventure with a pet that can help you in many ways, and can be trained
|
|
to do all sorts of things. On the way you will find useful (or useless)
|
|
items, quite possibly with magic properties, and assorted monsters. You can
|
|
attack a monster by trying to move onto the space a monster is on (but often
|
|
it is much wiser to leave it alone).
|
|
|
|
Unlike most adventure games, which give you a verbal description of
|
|
your location, NetHack gives you a visual image of the dungeon level you are
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
NetHack uses the following symbols:
|
|
|
|
- and | The walls of a room, possibly also open doors or a grave.
|
|
. The floor of a room or a doorway.
|
|
# A corridor, or iron bars, or a tree, or possibly a kitchen
|
|
sink (if your dungeon has sinks), or a drawbridge.
|
|
> Stairs down: a way to the next level.
|
|
< Stairs up: a way to the previous level.
|
|
@ You (usually), or another human.
|
|
) A weapon of some sort.
|
|
[ A suit or piece of armor.
|
|
% Something edible (not necessarily healthy).
|
|
/ A wand.
|
|
= A ring.
|
|
? A scroll.
|
|
! A potion.
|
|
( Some other useful object (pick-axe, key, lamp...)
|
|
$ A pile of gold.
|
|
* A gem or rock (possibly valuable, possibly worthless).
|
|
+ A closed door, or a spellbook containing a spell
|
|
you can learn.
|
|
^ A trap (once you detect it).
|
|
" An amulet, or a spider web.
|
|
0 An iron ball.
|
|
_ An altar, or an iron chain.
|
|
{ A fountain.
|
|
{ A forge.
|
|
} A pool of water or moat or a pool of lava.
|
|
\ An opulent throne.
|
|
` A boulder or statue.
|
|
A to Z, a to z, and several others: Monsters.
|
|
I Invisible or unseen monster's last known location
|
|
|
|
You can find out what a symbol represents by typing
|
|
'/' and following the directions to move the cursor
|
|
to the symbol in question. For instance, a 'd' may
|
|
turn out to be a dog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
y k u 7 8 9 Move commands:
|
|
\|/ \|/ yuhjklbn: go one step in specified direction
|
|
h-.-l 4-.-6 YUHJKLBN: go in specified direction until you
|
|
/|\ /|\ hit a wall or run into something
|
|
b j n 1 2 3 g<dir>: run in direction <dir> until something
|
|
numberpad interesting is seen
|
|
G<dir>, same, except a branching corridor isn't
|
|
< up ^<dir>: considered interesting (the ^ in this
|
|
case means the Control key, not a caret)
|
|
> down m<dir>: move without picking up objects
|
|
F<dir>: fight even if you don't sense a monster
|
|
With the qwertz_movement option, the z key replaces the y key.
|
|
If the number_pad option is set, the number keys move instead.
|
|
Depending on the platform, Shift number (on the numberpad),
|
|
Meta number, or Alt number will invoke the YUHJKLBN commands.
|
|
Control <dir> may or may not work when number_pad is enabled,
|
|
depending on the platform's capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Commands:
|
|
NetHack knows the following commands:
|
|
? Help menu.
|
|
/ Tell what a symbol represents. You may choose to specify
|
|
a location or give a symbol argument.
|
|
& Tell what a command does.
|
|
< Go up a staircase (if you are standing on it).
|
|
> Go down a staircase (if you are standing on it).
|
|
. Rest, do nothing for one turn.
|
|
_ Travel via a shortest-path algorithm to a point on the map
|
|
a Apply (use) a tool (pick-axe, key, lamp...)
|
|
A Remove all armor.
|
|
^A Redo the previous command
|
|
c Close a door.
|
|
C Call (name) an individual monster.
|
|
d Drop something. d7a: drop seven items of object a.
|
|
D Drop multiple items. This command is implemented in two
|
|
different ways. One way is:
|
|
"D" displays a list of all of your items, from which you can
|
|
pick and choose what to drop. A "+" next to an item means
|
|
that it will be dropped, a "-" means that it will not be
|
|
dropped. Toggle an item to be selected/deselected by typing
|
|
the letter adjacent to its description. Select all items
|
|
with "+", deselect all items with "=". The <SPACEBAR> moves
|
|
you from one page of the listing to the next.
|
|
The other way is:
|
|
"D" will ask the question "What kinds of things do you want
|
|
to drop? [!%= au]". You should type zero or more object
|
|
symbols possibly followed by 'a' and/or 'u'.
|
|
Da - drop all objects, without asking for confirmation.
|
|
Du - drop only unpaid objects (when in a shop).
|
|
D%u - drop only unpaid food.
|
|
^D Kick (for doors, usually).
|
|
e Eat food.
|
|
E Engrave a message or ward on the floor.
|
|
E- - write in the dust with your fingers.
|
|
f Fire ammunition from quiver.
|
|
F Followed by direction, fight a monster (even if you don't
|
|
sense it).
|
|
i Display your inventory.
|
|
I Display selected parts of your inventory, as in
|
|
I* - list all gems in inventory.
|
|
Iu - list all unpaid items.
|
|
Ix - list all used up items that are on your shopping bill.
|
|
I$ - count your money.
|
|
o Open a door.
|
|
O Review current options and possibly change them.
|
|
A menu displaying the option settings will be displayed
|
|
and most can be changed by simply selecting their entry.
|
|
Options are usually set before the game with a NETHACKOPTIONS
|
|
environment variable, or via a config file (defaults.nh,
|
|
NetHack Defaults, nethack.cnf, .nethackrc, etc.), not with
|
|
the 'O' command.
|
|
p Pay your shopping bill.
|
|
P Put on an accessory (ring, amulet, etc).
|
|
^P Repeat last message (subsequent ^P's repeat earlier messages).
|
|
The behavior can be varied via the msg_window option.
|
|
q Drink (quaff) something (potion, water, etc).
|
|
Q Select ammunition for quiver.
|
|
^Q Draw a ward on the floor.
|
|

|
|

|
S Save the game.
|
|
t Throw an object or shoot a projectile.
|
|

|
|
^T Teleport, if you are able.
|
|
v Displays the version number.
|
|

|
|
history of the game.
|

|
|

|
|
^Z Suspend the game. (if qwertz_movement is not set)
|
|
: Look at what is here.
|
|
; Look at what is somewhere else.
|
|
, Pick up some things.
|
|

|
|
# Introduces one of the "extended" commands. To get a list of
|
|
the commands you can use with "#" type "#?". The extended
|
|
commands you can use depends upon what options the game was
|
|
compiled with, along with your class and what type of monster
|
|
you most closely resemble at a given moment. If your keyboard
|
|
has a meta key (which, when pressed in combination with another
|
|
key, modifies it by setting the 'meta' (8th, or 'high') bit),
|
|
these extended commands can be invoked by meta-ing the first
|
|
letter of the command. An alt key may have a similar effect.
|
|
|
|
If the "number_pad" option is on, some additional letter commands
|
|
are available:
|
|
|
|
h displays the help menu, like '?'
|
|
j Jump to another location.
|
|
k Kick (for doors, usually).
|
|
l Loot a box on the floor.
|
|
n followed by number of times to repeat the next command
|
|
N Name an object or type of object.
|
|
u Untrap a trapped object or door.
|
|
|
|
You can put a number before a command to repeat it that many times,
|
|
as in "40." or "20s.". If you have the number_pad option set, you
|
|
must type 'n' to prefix the count, as in "n40." or "n20s".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some information is displayed on the bottom line or perhaps in a
|
|
box, depending on the platform you are using. You see your
|
|
attributes, your alignment, what dungeon level you are on, how many
|
|
hit points you have now (and will have when fully recovered), what
|
|
your armor class is (the lower the better), your experience level,
|
|
and the state of your stomach. Optionally, you may or may not see
|
|
other information such as spell points, how much gold you have, etc.
|
|
|
|
Have Fun, and Happy Hacking!
