Any Boolean option can be negated by prefixing it with a '!' or 'no'.
Compound options are written as option_name:option_value.
Compound options which can be set during the game are:
disclose the types of information you want offered at the end of the
game [all]
fruit the name of a fruit you enjoy eating [slime mold]
(basically a whimsy which NetHack uses from time to time).
menustyle user interface for selection of multiple objects:
Traditional -- one object at a time prompting;
Combination -- prompt for classes of interest, then menu;
Partial -- skip class prompt, use menu of all objects;
Full -- menu for classes of interest, then object menu;
only the first letter ('T','C','P','F') matters; 'N' (None)
is a synonym for 'T', as is boolean style negation [Full]
packorder a list of default symbols for kinds of objects that gives the
order in which your pack will be displayed [")[%?+!=/(*`0_]
(If you specify only some kinds of items, the others from the
default order will be appended to the end.)
pickup_types a list of default symbols for kinds of objects to autopickup
when that option is on [all]
scores the parts of the score list you wish to see when the game ends
You choose a combination of top scores, scores around the top
scores, and all of your own scores. [!own/3 top/2 around]
Compound options which may be set only on startup are:
catname the name of your first cat [NONE]
dogname the name of your first dog [NONE]
dungeon a list of symbols to be used in place of the default ones for
drawing the dungeon.
The symbols are subjected to a fair amount of processing, so
that you can use C-style escapes such as \n or \081 as well as
indicate control characters by ^x or meta characters by \Mx.
As usual, \ can force the next character to be taken literally.
Since many of the default symbols are overloaded, they are
given here by name instead of symbol, with some added notes:
stone (solid rock, normally ' ')
vwall hwall tlcorn trcorn blcorn brcorn (room boundaries)
crwall tuwall tdwall tlwall trwall (wallified maze characters)
nodoor vodoor hodoor (no, vertical, horizontal open door)
