All this material can be find in some | ||
| 8 | form on another on <a href=https://github.com/crawl/crawl>craw's</a> official repository.<ul><li><a href=/notes/dcss-quickstart.pdf>DCSS Quickstart</a> - Very short introduction to the | ||
| 9 | game<li><a href=/notes/dcss_manual.pdf>DCSS Manual</a> - Extensive manual about the game</ul><figure><img src=/notes/dcss.jpg alt="Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup"></figure><p><strong>Movement and Exploration</strong><ul><li>You can move around with the numpad (try numlock on and off), vi-keys, or | ||
| 10 | clicking with the mouse. Arrow keys work, though you can't move diagonally | ||
| 11 | with them. Pressing Shift and a direction will move until you see/hit | ||
| 12 | something.<li>Pressing <code>></code> will take you down a staircase, and <code><</code> to go up a staircase.<li>You can open doors by walking into them, and close them with <code>C</code>.<li>You can autoexplore by pressing <code>o</code>.<li>You can re-view recent messages with <code>Ctrl-p</code>.</ul><p><strong>Monsters and Combat</strong><ul><li>You can pick up items with <code>,</code> or <code>g</code>.<li>Wield weapons with <code>w</code>. Weapons have different stats.<ul><li>(You may also engage in Unarmed Combat, though it isn't very effective when | ||
| 13 | untrained).</ul><li>Attack monsters in melee by walking in their direction (or with | ||
| 14 | Ctrl-direction).<li>You can wait with <code>.</code> or <code>s</code>, passing your turn - such as to get monsters into | ||
| 15 | a corridor with you.<li>You can rest with <code>5</code>, waiting until you are fully healed, or something | ||
| 16 | noteworthy happens.<li>Either mouseover and rightclick, or use <code>x</code> then <code>v</code> on the monster to examine | ||
| 17 | monsters. Monsters with a red border are 'dangerous' relative to your current | ||
| 18 | XP level (XL).<li>Quiver (often ranged) actions for further use with <code>Q</code>.<li>You can fire ranged weapons manually with <code>f</code>, or auto-target your quiver with | ||
| 19 | <code>p</code> or <code>Shift-Tab</code>. Throwing weapons can be thrown immediately, while | ||
| 20 | launchers (like bows) need to be wielded first.</ul><p><strong>Items and Inventory</strong><ul><li>View your inventory by pressing <code>i</code>. Most item related commands can also be | ||
| 21 | done with this menu.<li>You can wear amour with <code>W;</code> amour gives <code>AC</code>, while heavier body armour | ||
| 22 | reduces <code>EV</code>.<li>Autoexplore will automatically pick up useful items, such as potions and | ||
| 23 | scrolls, if you aren't in danger.<li>You can read scrolls with <code>r</code> and drink ("quaff") potions with <code>q</code>.<li>Equipment items may have brands, with special properties. Branded equipment is | ||
| 24 | blue when unidentified.<li>Equipment items may be artifacts, often with unique properties, and are | ||
| 25 | unmodifiable. They are written in white.<li>You can evoke wands with <code>V</code>.<li>You can put on jewelry with <code>P</code>, and remove it with <code>R</code>.<li>Gold is used in shops, which can be interacted with by either <code>></code> or <code><</code>.</ul><p><strong>Magic and Spellcasting</strong><ul><li>Once you find a spellbook, you can memorize spells with <code>M</code>.<li>You need to be the same XL as the spell's spell level in order to learn it, in | ||
| 26 | addition to training magical skill (to lower failure rate).<li>Cast spells by pressing <code>z</code>, then the letter assigned to the spell. You may | ||
| 27 | also Quiver a spell and then use it like a ranged weapon (with Shift-Tab).<li>You can view your memorized spells by pressing <code>I</code> (capital-i) or <code>z</code>.<li>Like HP, you can recover MP by resting (with 5).<li>Many spells can be positioned more effectively, or combined with other spells, | ||
| 28 | in order to get (more effective) use out of them.<li>Heavier body amour and shields hamper spellcasting.</ul><p><strong>Gods and Divine Abilities</strong><ul><li>You may look at a god's overview by praying at their altar (with <code>></code> or <code><</code>). | ||
| 29 | After praying, you can worship the god by pressing Enter afterwards.<li>Gods all have unique features about them. Trog, the god of the tutorial, is | ||
| 30 | also the god of rage and bloodshed, and so despises spellcasting.<li>Gods like and dislike different things. Most gods either like killing things | ||
| 31 | (like Trog) or exploring new areas (like Elyvilon), rewarding you piety | ||
| 32 | (divine favor) for doing so.<li>You should learn to use and even rely on divine abilities often, as they are | ||
| 33 | usually very strong. Trog's Berserk gives you 1.5x health, 1.5x speed (to all | ||
| 34 | valid actions), and a big damage boost. Note that Berserk prevents most | ||
| 35 | actions other than move and melee attack, and runs out very quickly if you | ||
| 36 | aren't attacking. And after berserk ends, you are slowed down and can't | ||
| 37 | berserk again for a short time.<li>In addition, the vast majority of abilities consume piety in the process. | ||
| 38 | Regardless, this ability is very cheap, and the benefits are incredible, so | ||
| 39 | don't hold back!<li>Pressing <code>^</code> will let you view your current god, abilities, and piety.</ul></div></div></main><section><hr><h2>Posts from blogs I follow around the net</h2><ul><li><a href=https://chotrin.org/writing/2023-10-20.html target=_blank rel=noopener>OpenBSD upgrade and fall things.</a><div>Been AFK for a bit.
