I'm not seeing the damage I'm doing to mobs, is there any way to change that?

The quick answer is yes. The longer answer goes like this: You need to change your battleprompt. To do this type bprompt and then the variables you want in your prompt.

You can add your own fields into your prompt using ones from the list below.

The '%' character means a variable.

'T':current hour

't':current minute

's':current sec

'H':maxhitp

'h':hitp

'M':maxmana

'V':maxmove

'v':move

'G':bank gold

'g':hand gold

'e':current exp

'E':needed exp

'x':hitp in a percentage

'y':mana in a percentage

'z':move in a percentage

'n':your name

'N':leaders name

'F':victims name in combat

'L':victims level in combat

'f':victims health percentage

'l':your level

'!':newline

'k':kills

'K':pk kills

'r':deaths

'R':pk deaths

'i':group involvement

'j':alignment

'b':riding

'B':ridden by

'c':clan name

'J':leaders hp percentage

'd':last damage you did

'D':last damage done to you

'X':Percentage Exp TNL

'S':Percentage Stamina   

'1':Weather info

'2':Day/Night/Twilight

'3':Temperature

'm':mana

 

 

for example: PROMPT %hH %mM %vV>

Would display like: 1234H 1234M 1234V>

Note: bprompt is the prompt only shown in battle. We also have the basic prompt that is shown outside of battle. There are some things you only need to know when fighting - like how much damage you deal to the mob you're fight or how much damage you're taking from said mob, which is why we have the two different prompts. Now, having said that, the prompts automatically change when you're in battle. You do not have to remember any command to change your prompt.

To go back to the original prompt type:

prompt default

and

bprompt default
