Displaying Exp. after killing a monster.

[Ybirk]

Hello I can't figure out how to display the amount of exp. my character gets after he kills a monster to show in the message buffer. It's not "x" because that displays the amount needed to reach the next exp. level. I can't figure out how to display it in the message buffer can someone post it for me thanks.

Modify your adom.cfg adding the line "Show_Experience = true".

[Ybirk]

okay but I can't open the .cfg file what program do I need to download. i'm using Windows XP for my computer and play with the DOS version of Adom.

[Ybirk]

I got it to open with word.
Thanks! I didn't know you could do this.

I'm not sure word is a good program to use - it might add some garbage to the file. I use notepad myself. There's some other handy options in there by the way.

[Silfir]

Notepad, perchance?

Word is fine as long as you make sure to save as text. It's not ideal if your computer's slow, but if it's fast, there's no shame in going with you know, hard as it may be to convince a pack of nerds such as us of that. :-)

[Silfir]

I... am not 100% sure Ybirk will know to save as text. It's not something Word tends to rub in your face that you should do.

It's been an hour and we haven't heard any cries of despair yet, so it's quite possible he figured it out on his own.

If not, he'll come back here and read our banter -- problem solved!

[Ybirk]

I saved it as a word file and it seems to work just fine now thanks!
