Colours in inventory (trunk)

[Turukano]

  Code:

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-2648-g56e3d78 (webtiles) character file.

I appreciate the removal of nausea (thanks, devs) and started with trunk version.

In 0.12 the items in my inventory have been shown in different colours, e.g. yellow for potions of curing and heal wounds, white for artefacts etc.

In trunk the colours have gone. When I start the game the following lines might show the problem:

  Code:

Warning: Cannot find file "standard_colours.txt". (~/.crawlrc:264)
Warning: Cannot find file "food_colouring.txt". (~/.crawlrc:277)
Warning: Cannot find file "menu_colours.txt". (~/.crawlrc:281)

This obviously refers to the following lines of my rc-file:

  Code:

include = standard_colours.txt
#
#   yellow     = preferred food                    ($preferred)
#   darkgrey   = cannot be eaten at all            ($inedible)
#   lightred   = causes rot                        ($rot-inducing)
#   magenta    = dangerous to use, mutagenic       ($dangerous, $mutagenic)
#   red        = considered "evil" by your deity   ($evil)
#   lightgreen = poisonous                         ($poisonous)
#   brown      = contaminated, may cause nausea    ($contaminated)
#
# You can change colours by using something like
# $contaminated := magenta

include = food_colouring.txt

# There is elaborate colouring of items in the inventory (and other menus)
# depending on their usefulness, taking species and other criteria into account.
include = menu_colours.txt

However, it works in 0.12 and I just copied my rc from 0.12 to trunk. What has changed now? How I can I get colours back?

In trunk you don't need those includes, the default stuff is always included. Does your config change any colours after the includes? If so it probably clears and overwrites the defaults in the process.

As I partially use your rc it's nice to get the answer from you.

I did the following things:

• Removal of the colour related includes
  

    Code:

  include = standard_colours.txt
include = food_colouring.txt
include = menu_colours.txt


  
  
• Afterwards I removed the following colour related lines:
  

    Code:

Unfortunately, things look the same as before.

Btw, another question. # disables a line, is it possible to disable several lines (like /* and */ in C)?

Just remake your rcfile from scratch, copying pieces from 0.13 rcfiles.

[jejorda2]

Does := do the same thing as += in a crawl config file?

Ok, I did. It was some work:

• started with standard 0.13 rc
• added some parts from MarvinPA's rc
• added cerebovssquire's list of uniques
• added own lines from my 0.12 rc (getting a more prompt when I see dangerous foes etc.)

Colours are back, thanks! I'm surprised how useful these colours are.
