Two Simple Throwing Questions

[MainiacJoe]

1. How do you test throwing in fsim? I wield nothing and quiver throwables, but I get an unarmed test instead of a throwing test.
2. Is there any rcfile magic for making [Tab] do throwing instead of advancing or swinging my resist stick?

Thanks!

1. wield a launcher
2. not that I know of, wielding a launcher works though

Thanks for the quick reply. I wielded a sling and quivered tomahawks, and got "Wielding: +13 hunting sling of velocity with 10 tomahawks, Skill: Slings". Is this what I want, even though the skill isn't "Throwing"? The damage dealt is greater than the sling with bullets of flame. When I wield the tomahawks directly, I get "Wielding: 10 tomahawks, Skill: Unarmed Combat" and all zeroes for damage dealt. These are &F results read out of fsim.txt.

You don't need rcfile magic to use Shift+Tab, which will make you throw your quivered projectile instead of moving closer. Wielding a launcher would do the same once you're in melee, but I don't think the vanilla game lets you auto-throw when wielding a weapon and already engaged in melee.

Assign tab to:
===autofight_throw_nomove

That doesn't work if there's a monster next to you, though?

[MainiacJoe]

I've found that wielding my sling and quivering tomahawks will fire bullets with [Tab] until they run out, then auto-quiver puts in the tomahawks and [Tab] starts firing those.

Shift-tab doesn't work in webtiles with most browsers. But yeah you can assign that macro to some other key.
