Use discord, they are there. But getting away from monsters is easy. The thing which you need to keep in mind is always preplan. If you know that you are weak, and see an ogre, do not tab into it. Wait, check its coordinates, and when it is one space away from you but didn't hit you yet, hit it once. If you seem to do well, you can tab, but if you see that you are too injured. That's the sign that you fucked up big time. I specificaly set this message and tablock when you get below 50% hp, to have time for you to rethink your strategy. Two common methods which i use regularly are waiting on melee opponents to come to me because i don't want to tab into the unknown because... Well, if you get to orc mines or pandemonium you'll see. Orc mines is tough too but panlords are a mean bunch. I only tab if i know that i need to get to the enemy asap, for example to get magic users asap. The other strategy is think very early, which i should exercise more, i always get cocky when i'm strong and that is the demise of my strongest characters who got two or three runes. If you notice a very strong monster, who could cause you problems, and you have anything, for example a scroll of blinking, use it as soon as you see the monster, not when you are almost dead. Common early game threats include robin and his bunch of goblins, they're not that strong one at a time but can pack a punch if they hit you 5 at a time. Natasha, a mean little cat who has got three lives, some spells and a mean claw. Ogres, who hit realy realy hard for early game, i mean 30 dmg per hit or so if you are unarmored. Pack of gnolls, who can hit you from afar due to almost every one of them wielding polearms, and they hit hard in the early game, not that hard as an ogre but 15 20 dmg per hit. Sure you can kill one but what if five are behind it? I could go on with early threats but you get the picture i guess. Threats which you don't think are threats at all but they are very dangerous are the orc wizards. You can get confused and they can blast you from afar. I hate them. Getting more info is... Well press the % sign on your keyboard and you'll get your character sheet if that's what you want, if not, ask and i'll try to help.

Hi.
How do I view where monsters are?
I got to floor 3, it's a cool game.

I found a lot of lines in init.txt that said oound instead of sound at the beginning, using find and replace to change oound to sound enabled a bunch of extra sounds but I'm not sure if that typo was intended to disable a bunch of the sounds because they were wrong or not. I wish there was a way to hide the sacii map, I have no use for it and it just reads that thing out every time I move, i wish I at least knew what the player's coordinates were but they don't show up on the status display or the % screen as far as I can see. That's because on the contorl+x sreen, you can see the monster's coordinates, like 0, 1, but I don't know the player's coordinates so I can't move into the monster's square to attack it.
This is how I do it: Lie on a nice warm cozy bed, and dream dreams about how to rule the world!

Hi.
I did that, then after a couple of turns; I died 
.
It does turn on some sounds 
but I can't wait to see what the devs come up with.
#30 2021-01-15 07:08:46
monsters coordinates are based on your coordinates, so 0 1 is basicaly 1 up.
#31 2021-01-15 07:22:30
hi.
Yeah but how do I know where the monster is? The game may say there's a rat but it doesn't say where it is, I have to use tab unless I'm using magic.
#32 2021-01-15 08:31:09
press ctrl+x, it lists all features+monsters in view.

Hi.
Yeah I nkow so is there a way to refresh the page? I mean if I keep pressing control x will the screen refresh if the monster moves closer?

I wish there was a way to see dungeon layout better. The strategies in the quickstart guide are out of reach because I don't know if I'm in a long corridor or in a room and I know there isn't much to be done about that, just saying. I am getting better at this though, the command flow is becoming easier.

There is an option which lets you make any tile appear in the ctrl+x view, so theoreticaly you could make walls appear and try to deduce the layout better then, but i don't like that much information.

Hey all. Thanks for the tip on winrar. Did not know you could just escape out of it. Good to know.
I use Jaws but find that I have to hit insert left bracket to route jaws to PC to read the text, like in Warsim. Do all of you do that or is there a way to to not do that constantly?
#37 2021-01-18 21:10:16
I'd rather use nvda with dungeon crawl.
#38 2021-01-18 23:22:20
Hi.
Same here, NVDA is a lot easier to use as it's just 7 and 9 on the keypad to scroll through the text.
