Custom Prompts

[delinas]

I am wondering if it is possible to create custom prompts when my health drops to a certain point. I often forget about spells, potions and more often wands that might prevent me from dying. For example, when my health gets to a certain point, I would like a message saying "Wand? Spell? Potion?" instead of the default warning. Thanks in advance!

Not without recompiling your own version. Although if you can compile your own build (see instructions on the dev forum) then its a very trivial change- just seach for "Low hitpoint warning" in the code and replace it with your own string. Its in spells1.c for some reason...

Thanks so much. I'll see how it goes in the morning.

What you can do is to go to the Options Menu (= sign) and option H is a hitpoint warning level. Options are 0 to 9. Whatever number you choose, you get a warning when your hitpoints drop below 10 * that percentage of your maximum. So if you choose a 5, you'll get a warning every time you take damage (including continuing damage such as cuts and poison) where your hit points fall below 50% of your maximum. If you choose a 9, the warning will show up when you are at less than 90% of your maximum.

If you do not take any damage on a turn, you won't get a warning, even if you are below the threshold.
