I suppose I could put this in announcements but I'd like some feedback so I'm putting it here for now.

Whisky made a snippet for us to allow players to make a fully customizable prompt, and also includes some pre-sets that ROCK. I've enabled it as of a few moments ago. There are some hiccups in it - for some reason the prompt menu isn't displaying, and I've messaged him about it - but dang, it's fun!

Type 'display' instead of 'help prompt' for now to experiment with it. Aramus has volunteered to write the in-game help file.

Danke, Whisky. You're a star!

Now if you'll excuse me, Vivtest is going to go kill stuff just so I can enjoy this.

The prompt command will accept a string of characters such as %h %m %v for hitpoints, mana, move and so on.
Color codes are also accepted and changes to comm.c have been made to allow colors in prompt. (Probably the most interesting change)

The easily expandable list of values are:

%h %H %ph , current health, max health, health as a percentage
%m %M %pm , as above for mana points
%v %V %pv , as above for movement points
%g %G , gold on hand, gold in bank
%q, quest points
%x %X , current exp, exp till next level
%% , a percent sign
%_ , a newline
%O, opponents name and condition
%T, tanks name and condition
(tank = whoever your opponent is fighting if it isn't yourself)

Whisky put together a help file which I've popped into the game. If you see any changes or additions that you think would be helpful please let me know. This is how it looks:

Usage: display <number>

Set your prompt to a preset display.
Typing display by itself will show a list of options.

PROMPTS

Usage: prompt <string>

%h - current hitpoints %H - Max hitpoints %ph - hitpoints as a percentage

%v - current move points %V - Max move points %pv - move as a percentage
%g - gold on hand %G - gold in bank
%q - quest points
