MSGTYPE is a patch for NetHack 3.4.3 which adds configuration options allowing user to change how messages are displayed. Nethack.alt.org has it.
For example whether a message always waits for --MORE--, or if it's never shown, or if it's never shown more than once in row.
The format is
MSGTYPE=foo "string to match"
Where "foo" is one of "hide", "stop" or "norep", and the string to match is a message to be matched, with '*' and '?' wildcard expansion.
- "hide" hides the message, so it's never shown.
- "stop" always prompts for --MORE-- after the message.
- "norep" shows the message, but not again if no other message is shown in between.
- "show" shows the message, each time. This is the default.
The last matching rule is used. Put the general case first, exceptions below them.
# displacing pets MSGTYPE=hide "You displaced *" # items on floor MSGTYPE=norep "You see here a *" MSGTYPE=norep "You see here an *" # delayed instadeaths MSGTYPE=stop "You are slowing down." MSGTYPE=stop "You find it hard to breathe." MSGTYPE=stop "You are turning a little *"
Tjr has a much more complicated sample config.
