Forum:YANI: More Shout-Outs

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search


For items or monsters that are already explicitly shout-outs there should be more messages regarding the reference. This already happens a lot for Pratchett and there should be more. Examples:

- Killing a wumpus: "Hurrah, you kill the wumpus!" (no message if you #named the wumpus)

- When a balrog is on the level: "You hear a voice shouting 'You Shalt Not Pass!'" akin to werecreatures (no message if you are deaf, or if you can see the balrog)

- Beheading a jabberwock with the Vorpal Blade: "The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!" (no message if you are deaf, "The vorpal blade went snicker-snee!" if you are hallucinating)

- #Chatting to a captain: replace the "Resistance is useless!" case with "Oh freddled gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me..."

That sounds like a good idea. Have you thought about opening a feature request on Github? (Or, if you're the programming sort, implementing it yourself and opening a pull request?) Schneelocke (talk) 09:33, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
