Autotravel stop when lichform about to expire

[Gianozzolo]

Hello, I have been playing a necromutated DEIE lately, and I wanted to know if it was possible to make so that when lichform is about to expire autotravel would automatically stop, and if the same could be done for swiftenss and whatnot. The crawl wiki suggests to add this to the runrest_messages.txt (in settings directory) file:

stop = Your transformation is almost over.

but I am not able to do so because if I try I get the message "Access is denied"

If it is important I am playing 0.12 on Windows 8. Thanks for the help and sorry if it is not the right place to ask, but this seemed unappropriate for the techincal support forum!

You can do it in init.txt.
runrest_messages.txt is obsolete as is written in its header.

This is what I use.

  Code:

runrest_ignore_message += You feel clumsy
runrest_stop_message += Your stomach .*
runrest_stop_message += You are feeling hungry
runrest_stop_message += You feel closer
runrest_stop_message += Your transformation is almost over
runrest_stop_message += Your icy armour starts to melt
runrest_stop_message += Your repel missiles spell is about to expire
runrest_stop_message += Your deflect missiles spell is about to expire
runrest_stop_message += You flicker for a moment
runrest_stop_message += You are starting to lose your buoyancy
runrest_stop_message += You feel less protected from missiles
runrest_stop_message += You feel somewhat less full
runrest_stop_message += You feel quite a bit less full
runrest_stop_message += You feel yourself come back
runrest_stop_message += Your skin feels tender

Ok thanks, I had seen the header but it didn't give any information about what to use instead. By the way, I am using 0.11 not 0.12, but I guess it does not make difference.

Thanks again!

Edit: but still, Access denied. I have no clue what to do about it, as I am not very good at these kind of things

Presumably you are being foiled by windows.

So, nobody has had this problem before? Any idea on what is causing this?

Do you get the message when trying to save modified file in any editor? Or when playing the game?

Why ignore "you feel clumsy" ?

I don't remember when this message appears but I remember I was annoyed by it. Perhaps it happens when Deteriorating Body mutation decreases Dex which is unlikely to kill character.

Windows protects some paths (since Vista I think). Have you tried just moving the whole DCSS folder somewhere else? If you pop it in your documents or desktop folders or in some other folder in your user directory (C:\Users\<your user name>) that will probably sort it out. If you want multiple users to have it, you could put it somewhere in C:\Users\Public which is shared.

If you don't want to move it, you'll likely have to claim permission to edit things; in Win7 it's done by right clicking the folder, choosing properties and going to the security tab, not sure if it's different in Win8. From there edit permissions, add yourself (type in your username) or add Users (this lets everyone edit things, not just you; if you only have one user account, the difference is irrelevant) and give yourself Full Control permission. Then try editing the file again.

Alternatively, you might be able to work around it just by running notepad (or whatever program you use) as an administrator, and then edit the file using that notepad. Just right click the program -> run as administrator. You won't get that option right clicking the text file, it has to be notepad itself (so then you'll have to go file -> open, find the file, etc.).

Yay, thanks so much, I moved the folder and it worked out fine!
