Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

FR: Y/N prompt before reading magic mapping on explored lvls

No brainer FR here.

Edit: to clarify, 'explored' = hitting o does nothing.

Re: FR: Y/N prompt before reading magic mapping on explored

How can you implement this in a way that prevents the prompt from leaking information about the level?

The only way I can think of is a message like "It doesn't seem like auto-explore can find anywhere else go visit on this level, are you sure you want to read your scroll of magic mapping?".

Personally, I'd make it depend on whether you have found three stairs and three trapdoors or not.

This would solve the info leaking problem whilte still prompting most times you would accidentally read MM.

Yeah, that's kinda what I meant in the OP. I don't think any character ever goes around fully exploring the level by digging out every piece of rock, etc.
