Useful Prompts
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.
I was reading this thread and, uh...
For those using cmud I have the prefect solution to the mounted prompt:
#TRIGGER {Dounted} {#SUB {Dismounted}}
I dont like any color in my prompt. throws me off.
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.
is it me, or is DVD the only one who uses %e...
%e is a CRUCIAL prompt for any new player imo. Since it displays valid exits.
This has been my prompt for a long long time.
%n%P%C<%h/%Hhp %m/%Mm %v/%a>[%t]%e>
<1000/1000hp 1000/1000m 400/7000>[8][Exits: N E S]>
time>exits.
short, sweet, to the point.
I find this one pretty useful:
%R - %r (%z/%t/%u/%s) %c
My prompt is garbage. I've been told by many players and staff alike that my prompt is too big and too much, but I've been staring at it for years so its too hard to change. Anything else makes it weird.
[HP:1000/1000 MN:100/100 MV:100/100]
If I am caballed and 50, I change the xnt to my cps.
I have a %e in mine too. It is not found in help prompt so I had to guess and was glad when I saw it was available.
The two best uses for %e are:
-
If you cannot see but aren't blind (aka no light) the valid exists show up in your prompt
-
If you are sleeping and spamming enter you will see a door open or a trap placed.
Never understood why people need to see the Max HP or Max mana in prompt.
I like it on high hp characters. Gives a better feel for what kind of damage I'm taking than a percentage does, which helps me make better decisions.
I find this one pretty useful:
%R - %r (%z/%t/%u/%s) %c
Funny. But actually some useful information here.
Maybe you should add %u and %s to the help prompt file.
da heck does not pacified mean?
One I made recently...
for leveling : %l%%n%L%l&%p%L%C[%l!%h/%H HPs%L|%l6%m/%M MPs%L|%l2%v/%V MVs%L|%l*%X TNL%l|%l#$%g%L|%l&%t%L|%l*%i%L]
for lvl 50 : %l%%n%L%l&%p%L%C[%l!%h/%H HPs%L|%l6%m/%M MPs%L|%l2%v/%V MVs%L|%l*%a CPs%l|%l#$%g%L|%l&%t%L|%l*%i%L]
Try it out for a day or two.. see if you like it.
Tank: [65]
[59/90 HPs|113/113 MPs|97/124 MVs|71 TNL|$1036|2|D]
I still think you should be able to put RP points in

I like default prompt
I've been beating you all with the same prompt for close to 10 years.
I know your prompts....
__ _ .-.' `; `-._ __ _ (_, .-:' `; `-._ ,'o"( (_, ) (__,-' ,'o"( )> ( (__,-' ) `-'._.--._( ) ||| |||`-'._.--._.-' ||| |||6666hp/6666mana/6666move
He was always the Greensheep of the family..
Here is the prompt that has my son and son-in-law asking questions and peeking in.
%e{%l&%tH%L}(%l3%i%L)(%l#%g%L)%c%l@%n%L%p%P%C<%hhp %mm %vmv>{%l$%X%L}
