First message being overwritten by second?

<< < (2/3) > >>

ZicherCZ:
You can still check the message log with Shift+P.
Also there's a config parameter (can't recall it's name now) that can be set up to hold more than default 100 lines in the message log. I would recommend to increase this, as a hundred lines can be quickly filled up, and then the level feeling is lost forever.

Yep, but the previous line is overwritten there too.

Agree, personally I have 1000, that's enough for the most cases.

I think you're misunderstanding the issue.  If you use the (l)ook command, it erases the last message from the message history.  It doesn't matter how high you set the number; it will immediately be gone forever.  It's a problem because, when you first start a level, the first thing you do is almost always going to be looking at things.  This means you almost always erase important level feeling information, probably before you even get a chance to read it.

Of course, this is only an issue for people like me who still use the console version, since I think the mouse-look doesn't erase stuff the same way the (l)ook command does.  :)

ZicherCZ:
Ah. A misunderstanding on my part, definitely, and a real issue.

I'm going to work on trying to fix this issue.  I plan on adding both an extra line when doing any 'l'ook action as well as a repeat feeling option.  I'll post again when the fix is in repo.
