The Tavern

I am trying to specify the order in which my throwables are being quivered/fired.
I've edited init.txt to enable fire_order, but it won't work in game for some reasons.

What can be wrong?

Don't you, guys, troubled by it? Let's say you have pile of regular darts and couple of enchanted hand axes. I bet you would want to throw this axes first to maximize the damage. But somehow they are always messed up. I mean one axe, that I quivered, will be on top, but another one will be replaced in by darts after I recover it. It's so annoying...

To be honest, I've never really bothered fiddling with this option. But your report is a bit confusing. It's not very clear what you're trying to do, and what is the behaviour you're getting. Is it completely ignored? Unreliable? Is it about missiles picked up which aren't automatically quivered?
Try to provide a reproducible scenario. With this setting, I do those actions, and getting this results while I was expecting this one.

Basically the problem is that I don't get ANY changes. I guess I am doing something wrong with the file (or use wrong file at all).
This line in init.txt:

as some one in chat said, have to force the order in which throwables will automatically quivered and thus shoot. But enabling this line don't change anything. And I don't understand the priority used in game by default.

Here is a scenario:
I got a hand axe, a javelin and a dart in inventory.
I also have simplifyed the line to

for this experiment.
After I start the game it do nothing. I still have whatever I had in quiver (in this case it was dart).
If I quiver the axe manually and throw it, the next item will be dart (and not javelin, as I would want to).
I become frustrated.
The end )

I see. You're doing it wrong. From the options_guide.txt:



So you need to use commas instead of slashes.

Tried:

Still darts go after the handaxe.

It's working fine for me. Although, at first I thought it didn't before I realized that '(' cycles forward and ')' cycles backward. Seems wrong.

I've created new topic for this. Any changes in init.txt just won't work. I mean ANY.

THANK you for changing this. I've been playing for years and still had problems with this.
