Should the options be listed in alphabetical order, or first split into booleans and compound options? (I know they're listed with booleans first in the game, but IMO that's a misfeature :) --Paxed 16:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Alphabetical order seems more useful. That's how the guidebook lists them. --Jayt 21:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
subkeyvalue
In the standard defaults.nh in the windows binary download, you can find an option called subkeyvalue. The numbers are ASCII codes (decimal).
# Finnish keyboards might need these modifications uncommented. # For \, @, $, [, | #OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:171/92 #OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:178/64 #OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:180/36 #OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:184/91 #OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:188/124
I wanted to substitute y with z because I've got an German keyboard layout (QERTZ). I tried
OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:121/122 OPTIONS=subkeyvalue:122/121
but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know something about that option? It isn't documented in the Guidebook. --217.80.113.242 17:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- I just took a peek at the source code and I can't see why it wouldn't work, provided you're using the console version. I don't think it works with the tiled version. Key processing is wonky on Windows console programs and the subkeyvalue option was meant to fix that; see nhraykey.dll and W343-4 for a brief description of the issues.--Ray Chason 20:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Distro-specific stuff
Someone added this:
- /etc/nethack/nethackrc for system-wide settings on unix-like OS's, and ~/.nethackrc for individual users to override those settings.
But that seems to be a Debian-specific thing; vanilla NetHack compiled from source definitely doesn't do this. --paxed 16:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
