Repeat Level Feeling

(1/3) > >>

Ander Hammer:
For the uninitiated, the level feeling is the message(s) shown after 'You enter level x' upon entering a new level in many roguelikes.

Far too many times, I've just been derping around, speeding through, or tired, and completely spaced what Doomguy noticed when his boots hit a new floor, usually after feeling relatively safe. Setting the message buffer to something obscene and scrolling all the way back works, I guess. Having a key that re-prints the message would be a lot handier, though.

No.

That's because there's a key that shows you all the messages that had appeared.  Use that one and scroll back instead.

Or even better, edit your config.lua and add a highlight for "'You enter level *" - this way it will be easier to find the moments when you changed levels :P

Tormuse:
The issue I've had, in the past, with this is when you push "L" for the look command, the look message overwrites whatever the last message was.  It's happened to me about a hundred times that I've gotten to a new level, and either there was an exotic weapon or item nearby I wanted to look at, or maybe I started the level invulnerable or berserk, so I couldn't see what colour anything was and I started "looking" at things, and it erased the level feeling.  When that happens, it doesn't matter how long the message buffer is; the information for the level feeling is gone.

It's taken a lot of practice and discipline to remind myself, every time I get to a new level, to look at the level feeling *before* using the look command to look at stuff.  This is less of an issue for people who use the new mouse interface, but for die-hard console version players like myself, a repeat level feeling button might be nice.  :)

If you got to the end of that, I think you'll get the point of this message. :)
