Autopickup all missiles

At present, characters autopickup all gold in site with autotraveling. I like this feature.

Is there a setting to extend this feature to missiles thrown by the player? It'd be nice to autopickup all arrows that you just shot after a battle. At present, I just pres o until I've picked up all my missiles. If there is a such a setting, maybe it should be on by default. If not, this post is a minor feature request.

you could make it so you don't stop after autopickup (I do this)

this isn't really a game design issue, though, is it? more of an interface deal

Add this in your options. Shouldn't we make this default? I like smart defaults.

  Code:
explore_stop    += greedy_pickup_smart


Also, true about wrong forum. I'm moving this to interface.

Question for OS X binary users: where do I find this options file? I have a sneaking suspicion I have to compile it myself if I want to alter the options o_O

All options files (yes, there are several) can be found in the settings directory. If it isn't in the Crawl directory itself, it might be located with all the other user data in ~/Library/Application Support/Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (or something along those lines).

galehar: Changing the defaults is fine. Drop a quick line on c-r-d and off you go.

This is indeed where the morgue and saves are, but there is no options file within either directory.

Hmm... at the top of the starting menu, does it mention init.txt anywhere? For me, it says "(Read options from ../settings/init.txt.)"

doing a search for any file on my computer named "init.txt" only yields one for Dwarf Fortress ;)

The options file is in the app bundle. So assuming you put the app in /Applications, you'll find the init.txt in "/Applications/Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.app/Contents/Resources/settings/init.txt". (If you're not using a shell, just right click on the app and hit Show Package Contents, and go from there). Take a look at the docs folder in there, too, while you're there. You don't want to change that init.txt file, though, since it'll get overwritten when you update the game, so just copy it into your Home folder (/Users/yourname/init.txt) and then modify it as you like. You can alternately rename it to ".crawlrc" in your Home folder if you want to be unix-y and also hide it from the Finder.

You'll know if it's working when you start up the game, it says at the top which file it read for the configuration.
