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:
attack_mode attack, refrain or ask to attack monsters [chat]
pacifist -- don't fight anything
chat -- chat with peacefuls, fight hostiles
ask -- ask to fight peacefuls
fightall -- fight peacefuls and hostiles

game [ni na nv ng nc]
dumpfile the name of the file where to dump the disclosure information
when the game ends (only if the patch has been compiled in)
[none]
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]
runmode controls how often the map window is updated when performing
multi-step movement (various running modes or travel command):
teleport -- don't update map until movement stops;
run -- periodically update map (interval is seven steps);
walk -- update map after every step;
crawl -- like walk, but delay after making each step.
(This only affects screen display, not actual movement.) [run]
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]
sortloot controls the sortloot patch [none]:
full -- All pickup lists of items are sorted by item description
loot -- When inventory letters are shown, has no effect.
Otherwise sorts by description
none -- Works the traditional way, like without the patch
statuseffects space-separated list of status effects to show in the status line
status effects can be negated by prefixing them with !
the special value 'all' enables all status effects
'all' can be negated with '!all' to disable all status effects
default: [all]
statuslines number of status lines (2, 3, or 4) [4]
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:
align Your starting alignment (align:lawful, align:neutral,
or align:chaotic). You may specify just the first letter. [RANDOM]
catname the name of your first cat [NONE]
delay_length set the length of delays when rendering animations
none, short, or normal [normal]
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 ' ')
vwall hwall tlcorn trcorn blcorn brcorn (room boundaries)
crwall tuwall tdwall tlwall trwall (wallified maze characters)
nodoor vodoor hodoor (no, vertical, horizontal open door)

exml exmm exmr (explosion matrix middle row)
exbl exbm exbr (explosion matrix bottom row)
default: |-\\/*!)(0#@*/-\\||\\-//-\\|\ |\\-/
gender Your starting gender (gender:male or gender:female).
You may specify just the first letter. Although you can
still denote your gender using the "male" and "female"
options, the "gender" option will take precedence. [RANDOM]
horsename the name of your first horse [NONE]
menu_* create single character accelerators for menu commands. Below
is a list of all commands. Each is followed by a list of window-
ports that implement them: 'x' is X11, 't' is tty, 'g' is Gem,
'a' is Amiga.

race Your starting race (e.g., race:Human, race:Elf). [RANDOM]
role Your starting role (e.g., role:Barbarian, role:Valk).
Although you can specify just the first letter(s), it will
choose only the first role it finds that matches; thus, it
is recommended that you spell out as much of the role name
as possible. You can also still denote your role by
appending it to the "name" option (e.g., name:Vic-V), but the
"role" option will take precedence. [RANDOM]
