init option for enemy distortion?

[milo]

What do I need in the init for the message that a monster is wielding a distortion weapon to be highlighted, eg bright red? Possible to force a 'more' prompt?

Just Abyssed at XL9 by a dagger of distortion...

Command is force_more. This allows us to google for force_more distortion, which gives us... viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16374

Keep in mind that this approach does not work if multiple monsters come into LOS at the same time, or in any other case where the monster's weapon is not printed.

Weapons are shown in tiles, and enchanted weapons are shown with a blue color. Its a very good habit to always pay attention to this and and check out anything that has a chance of getting into melee with you, as things like electrocution and draining also exist.

Played a couple games with the force_more option, and while effective, it's pretty obnoxious, triggering every time you target a dude, step on an item etc, so I've taken to using 'message_colour = lightcyan:distortion' instead.

Is it beyond the limits of the init to specify a force_more prompt the first time I encounter a distortion-wielding dude, but not again, for said dude?
