Auto-pickup woes...
Jarkko Heiliö
Is there any way of disabling the auto-pickup function by default? Everytime
I load up a new game of Nethack, the auto-pickup is ON by default and I have
to manually disable it which is quite annoying.
Thanks,
Jarkko

Put OPTIONS=!autopickup in your .nethackrc or equivalent.
Or if you want to pick up some object types and not others, you can
specify that instead or as well, for instance
OPTIONS=pickup_types:$!="/? to pick up gold, potions, rings, amulets,
wands and scrolls (a practical selection that will usually not burden
you too much; spellcasters may want to pick up + as well).

Just say no ;) This is done by adding:
!autopickup
(notice the '!') to the OPTIONS=foo,bar,... line(s) in your .nethackrc
file (or whatever non-unix systems use as their config file).
Although auto-pickup for certain items (like daggers/arrows and such) is
a good idea, because it can actually save you an important turn. I just
_hate_ it when I walk over a pile of stuff and a stoopid message window
pops up to inform me what items there are, just because there are two
different things lying around, causing me to loose a turn and possibly a
character because I'm currently running way^H^H^H^H^H^H retreating and
don't want to have to stop for anything...
Anybody know of a way to disable that completely and only get the
several/many items behaviour? If not, I think that's the next patch I'll
write, even before I finish the roadrunner one... (Maybe this is just a
"feature" of the Qt interface though, which might just make me switch
back to ASCII...)

That would be a good idea. I am annoyed as well by the popup windows of 2 to
4 items on ground. I wish it would just say "several items". If I want to
know what they are, I can always look.

Suggestion: if there's more than one item, say "there
are [several/many] things here", then list the symbols of whatever
is there after autopickup ends. ")" means "one or more weapons",
")[%" means I can ignore the heap unless food is a concern, and
")?/=" means that this heap is really worth looking at.

The routine look_here in invent.c has the line:
boolean skip_objects = (obj_cnt >= 5);
Change the 5 to a 2.
I'll now look at listing the types of objects right
after the "There are several objects here" message.

It's not so much that the game stops dead... I could live with the
annoying window, if it wouldn't take 1 turn to get rid of it...

Err, /me looks emberrased... Seems like I messed up here...
The thing is, the turn counter for the turn where you step onto a square
with 2..4 objects is incremented _after_ you get rid of the window, not
before...
Hmm, funny, never noticed that until just now... Well, why don't we all
forget about my previous post ;) Actually, LOOK OVER THERE!!! A GNOME
WITH THE AOY!!!! ;) (/me hides in a dark hole...)
That just leaves the annoyance factor, which still justifies at least an
option to get rid of those windows....

I use pickup-types:$
If the thing's valuable enough (wand, scroll) you can pick it up manually!

Note that '@' will toggle autopickup ingame.
