The Tavern

In Hints Mode, when you're encountering a monster type for the first time, the monster name is shown like for Uniques.
But for every other occurrence of that monster type, the name isn't shown.

Is there a command or lua script I can add to my init.txt file to have this feature?
...since it could help me greatly in the later parts of the game.

From options_guide.txt :

Code:: tile_tag_pref = (none| named | enemy | tutorial ) This option defaults to "enemy" normally and "tutorial" in tutorial modes. This setting determines which monsters receive text tag none - turns off all tags. named - shows names of all named monsters, ally or enemy enemy - shows names of named enemy monsters tutorial - shows names of all monsters not yet killed this game and of named enemy monsters Examples for named monsters are uniques and ghosts.

So setting

Code:: tile_tag_pref = tutorial

should do what you're trying to accomplish.
