Sets

Help for settings for use with the 'set' command. Please see 'help set' for more information.

The following is a list of example environment variables that can be set, and what they do:



* afk - if you are idle, the message people get when they 'tell' you
* briefcombat - if set, you will not hear combat messages other than your own (swings targetted at you and from you)
* briefcommands - if set, you will stop receiving command messages about multiple matching items
* prompt - set your prompt
* newline - adds a newline before all messages. Fixes linewrap


* autowield - if this is set to "off", you won't wield when you take a weapon
* autosheathe - if set to "off", you won't auto-remove your wielded weapon even if it's sheatheable
* autoshoot - if this is set to "off", you won't use draw, nock, and shoot a bow automatically in combat
* bowmessages - if this is set to "off", you won't see your own draw, nock, and shoot messages in combat.
* autolead - if set to "on", you will automatically start leading a mount you dismount, unless you are already leading another one.


* announce_friends - if set, you will receive announcements when people on your friends list who also have you on their friends list log into the game.
* armour_verbose - when set to anything, the "armour" command will display in verbose mode by default.
* armour_other - when set to "off", the "armour" command will not display your autoloading items (protecting "other" area).
* ignore_eaglesight - if set, you will not receive warning messages from the eaglesight command.
* hide_party_movement - set this to minimize party movement messages
* tellhist_timestamps - set this to 'on' to show timestamps in your tellhist
* whodefault - set this to your default 'who' preferences
* whocolor - if set to 'on' it will turn on the display of colored titles in the who list


* LINES - sets the number of lines printed before --MORE--(%) If you use a negative value and your client supports the TELNET protocol, more will use all the lines of your screen except LINES.
* clear_more - better looking --MORE--, but doesn't work on some clients


* gm_sort - set how you would like 'legend gm' to be listed. Setting this variable to 'gm' will sort alphabetically by GM name. Any other setting (including no setting at all) will sort alphabetically by guild name.
* exempt_top - set this to exempt yourself from "legend top" listings.
* mail_wrap - when set, all incoming mail will be wrapped
* no_medalclip - when set, medals from rp battles won't be clustered.
* no_room_tags - if you are a Guildmaster and do not wish to see the entrance settings for rooms of your guildhall (e.g. [public]), then set this to hide them.
* comm_timestamps - When set to "off", you will not see timestamps in any comm history. When set to "diff", the comm timestamps will show you the time that has passed since the comm was made rather than giving absolute time. The default (anything but "off" or "diff") enables standard timestamps.
* commhist_color - When set to "off", history of comms won't be coloured.
* menu_page_length - This allows you to modify menus to display however many items on the list per page as you select. The default is 8, but you could set this to anything from 3 to 99.
* full_exit_color - When set to "on", the commas and 'and' word in room exits' description will be coloured with the exits/water_exits color; normally they are left in the standard color.

You can also set the default behaviour for emotes. For example, typing "set grin evilly" will cause you to always grin evilly.
