Revision as of 20:00, 7 March 2013


Nethack has several Branches, for Example The Dungeons of Doom and the gnomish Mines, but how is it possible to determine in which Branch you currently are ?

If you save and reload your Game you get told about the Branch, so seems not to be a Secret, but how can this information be displayed without saving ? In the Status Bar, there is only the Level displayed, but not the branch.

Sorry, this is probably a stupid quesetion, since I am new in Nethack, but honestly I can't find it out, neither in the Nethack Help nor in the Wiki.

It depends on the interface: some interfaces display the branch. The tty interface (which I think you are using, given that you say "text mode") doesn't display the branch, though. You can usually find out by looking at your surroundings, though: the Mines have an appearance different from the Dungeons, for example.
It's not a stupid question, though – I can see why you assume the interface would note the branch somewhere. —bcode talk | mail 20:00, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
