Useful Prompts

[Spark215]

prompt %l!<%h/%HHp>%L%l%<%m/%MMp>%L%l2<%v/%VMv>%L%l8<%XExp>%L%l#<$%g>%L%l&<%t>%L%l$%n%p%L

turns into:

<100/100Hp><100/100Mp><100/100Mv><1941Exp><$25516><4> <% of Tank's HP when in battle>

Might I suggest putting this prompt as the default? Perhaps not the color scheme, as it's what I prefer, but it offers quite a bit more information than the base which would prove to help newbies more than one might think. Not pressing, just an idea.

well done I tried it out, not sure I like the flashing hp/mp but I dig the info

[f0xx]

prompt %n%P%C(%h/%Hhp %m/%Mm %v/%Vmv) (%XNtl) (%ggold) (%ttime) (%i)

[Ayroduth]

%p%n%P%C(%l!%h%L/%Hhp * %l6%m%L/%Mmn * %l3%v%L/%Vmv)(%l5%g%Lg %t:00h (%i)m %l7%X%Lxp)

Try this one. Has the beginning of the stock prompt (ie the percentage bar) with minor coloring as well as gold, time, mount, and xp tnl.

Good thread to sticky in the newbie section.

[miskahn]

umm, how do you take the colour out?

[Ayroduth]

Color:

%p%n%P%C(%l!%h%L/%Hhp * %l6%m%L/%Mmn * %l3%v%L/%Vmv)(%l5%g%Lg %t:00h (%i)m %l7%X%Lxp)

No color:

%p%n%P%C(%h/%Hhp * %m/%Mmn * %v/%Vmv)(%gg %t:00h (%i)m %Xxp)

[miskahn]

Thanks

prompt %n%p%C<%l6%h%L/%Hh(%l5%m%L/%Mm)%l5%v%L/%Vmv(%Xtn)%gg(%t)%i>%c

Cabaled (lvl 50):

Just change %Xtn to %acp

[Tantangel]

I usually just use:

prompt %n%p%P%C(%hhp %mm %vmv) (%Xexp %ggo %tti) (%acps %iounted)

Gives me everything I need to know now, and the future when I might end up in a Cabal. Otherwise I don't get fancy with color as color distracts me, especially red. Red is evil because it usually means I'm getting hurt.

%n%P%C(%h/%HHP %m/%MMANA %v/%VMV %i %tH %l3%X%LTNL %l8%g%LGOLD)%e

[The-Nameless]

Here is mine:

%n%p%C%h/%H %m/%M %v/%V %Xetl>%ggold (%i)ounted %t>

Lookes like this

100/100 50/50 125/125 1550etl>1000gold (D)ounted 12>

hp, mana, mv, experience required to level, gold on person, mounted or dismounted, and time.

[f0xx]

Dounted?

[The-Nameless]

Yup. Easy way to show mounted lol. If you have a better solution then by all means share it lol. this lets me hit enter to see if I am mounted instead of aff, meaning I check mounted AND where

[f0xx]

prompt %n%P%C(%h/%Hhp %m/%Mm %v/%Vmv) (%XNtl) (%ggold) (%ttime) (%i)

(1097/1097hp 602/602m 256/524mv) (18387Ntl) (40573gold) (9time) (D)

[The-Nameless]

I like seeing (M)ounted

[f0xx]

I'll mount you good.

[The-Nameless]

You would fall to your death. It is a well known fact democratic horses are superior to commie horses.

[Spark215]

The first prompt I put it had an error, I suggest trying it out one more time as it is correct now.

[Tantangel]

Spark, your color scheme is killing my sight. Otherwise it's not a bad prompt, I just don't like the maxes on there since I don't look at that hardly ever. I prefer mine, but I'll stick with this one to see how I like it compared to my normal one.

[sith_da_pirate]

prompt %p%n%P%C(%l!%h%L/%Hhp * %l6%m%L/%Mmn * %l3%v%L/%Vmv)(%l5%g%Lgold * %l7%X%Ltnl * %t:00hr * (%i)mount)

I like mine better

[Tantangel]

I prefer mine. Simple, no color and gets everything needed in it. I tried both and I can't get used to it at all. The color throws off my sense of what direction I should be looking at and the extra stuff I don't have on mine just throws me off too. I'll stick with what works for me I suppose.

[Vintervalpen]

I was reading this thread and, uh...

For those using cmud I have the prefect solution to the mounted prompt:

#TRIGGER {Dounted} {#SUB {Dismounted}}

[ledgerbay]

I dont like any color in my prompt. throws me off.

[Mister E]

I use a ton of colour.

%i - %l%%X%L - %l#%g%L - %l@%t%Ltime%c%n%P%l&%p%c%l9%v%L|%l9%V%L %l^%m%L|%l^%M %l!%h%L|%l!%H%c%l&%e%L%c

is my current prompt, i remove the exp tnl when I hit 50

I really like %c because I can see a lot more info stacked as opposed to a long line of info I have to read across.

I also like using %c as a buffer between my prompt and the mud output, hence ending with one.

This is it in action:

D - 5760 - 50379 - 14time <--- I have mounted status, exp tnl, gold, time

Joe Blow tanking: [===|===|===|---][68] <--- name of tank and hp bar, I also like the hp % so I can see how much I am dropping per round easily

195|265 282|282 170|248 <--- standard moves, mana, hp

[Exits: E S] <--- and exits

the colors really pop on a black background and I have the exits and the hp % in bright white which I could not simulate here.
