For first time users of Deliantra, consider skimming through the |

L<tutorial>. You can also access it by pressing the B<Help> button at the |

=head2 Apply and Examine Keys |
13 |
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
The B<Spacebar> usually applies the topmost object on the ground, while |
15 |
|
|
the B<Return> (or B<Enter>) key examines it. See L<the keyboard|the_keyboard> |
16 |
|
|
for more keyboard mappings. |

=head2 The Completer |
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
You can type most commands by simply typing an B<abbreviation> whenever the |
21 |
|
|
play area has the keyboard focus. See L<the keyboard|the_keyboard> |
22 |
|
|
for more info. |

|
=head2 The Mouse |
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
The left mouse button usually B<examines> an item. The middle mouse |
27 |
|
|
button usually B<applies> an item (which can mean a lot of things, such |
28 |
|
|
as drinking, wearing, wielding and so on). The right mouse button usually |
29 |
|
|
opens a B<menu> with further options. For example, the right-mouse-button |
30 |
|
|
menu of the playing area gives you quick access to the playerbook and |
31 |
|
|
autopickup, while the RMB-menu in the skills window lets you create key |
32 |
|
|
bindings for using skills. |
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
=head2 Autopickup |
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
You can let your character automatically pick up stuff when you are moving |
37 |
root |
1.7 |
over a L<map space|glossary/space>: First select which items to pick up in the |
38 |
root |
1.6 |
B<Setup/Pickup> window, then enable/disable it using the right mouse |
39 |
|
|
button menu of the playing area. |
40 |
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
It's customary to disable autopickup in civilised areas, to reduce the |
42 |
|
|
risk of taking an item you should not pick up. |

=head2 Moving the Map |
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
You can move the map (I<not> the minimap) around by dragging it with the |
47 |
|
|
middle mouse button. This is useful when you rearrange your windows and |
48 |
|
|
want to move the center of the map. |

This box shows which keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl etc.) are currently |
58 |
root |

active ("pressed"). |

|
=head3 B<once/REPEAT> |
61 |
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
C<Ctrl> determines wether an action invoked via the keyboard (moving, |
63 |
|
|
firing) is executed once per keypress or repeatedly as fast as |
64 |
|
|
possible. |
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
|
|
In I<once> mode, each time you press a key, your character will try to |
67 |
|
|
execute the action once. If you try to execute actions faster than your |
68 |
|
|
character is able to, the actions will be queued. |
69 |
|
|
|
70 |
|
|
In I<REPEAT> mode, your character keep executing the action as long as you |
71 |
|
|
keep the keys pressed, as fast as it is able to do. This allows you to run |
72 |
|
|
faster with a fast character, but msot importantly enables you to stop |
73 |
|
|
immediately, as no matter how fast your character is, stopping to press |
74 |
|
|
the keys will stop your character. |
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
=head3 B<move/FIRE> |
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
|
|
C<Shift> determines wether you move or fire when pressing an arrow key. |
79 |
|
|
For example, when you have applied a bow, then pressing C<Shift>-Arrow |
80 |
|
|
will firean arrow instead of moving your character. Less obviously, this |
81 |
|
|
also works for anything else in your range slot, such as spells or skills. |

|
|
83 |
|
|
=head3 B<alt> |
84 |
|
|

85 |
root |
1.22 |
Shows wether the C<Alt> key is pressed or not. The Alt key can be used |
86 |
|
|
together with the arrow keys to achieve diagonal movement. It is also |
87 |
|
|
commonly used to define keyboard macros. |

91 |
root |
1.21 |
C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on the Windows Operating System, |
92 |
|
|
having it on can make it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for |
93 |
|
|
moving or firing. Likewise having it off on Mac OS X might cause problems |
94 |
|
|
with diagonal movement, so when you encounter keyboard issues, try to |
95 |
|
|
toggle NumLock. |

B<Health points>. Measures of how much damage you can take before |
100 |
root |
1.23 |
dying. Hit points are determined from your overall level and are |
101 |
|
|
influenced by the value of your Con stat. Hp value may range between 1 |
102 |
|
|
to beyond 500, and higher values indicate a greater ability to withstand |
103 |
|
|
punishment. |

B<Spell points>. Measures of how much "fuel" you have for casting spells |
108 |
root |
1.24 |
and incantations. Mana is calculated from your highest magic skill |
109 |
|
|
school level and your Pow. Mana values can range between 1 to beyond 500 |
110 |
|
|
(glowing crystals can increase the current spell points beyond your normal |
111 |
|
|
maximum). Higher values indicate greater amounts of mana. |

B<Grace points> - how favored you are by your god. In game terms, how |
116 |
root |
1.24 |
much divine magic (prayers) you can cast. Your praying level, Wis and Pow |
117 |
root |
1.23 |
effect what the value of grace is. Praying on an altar of your god can |
118 |
|
|
increase this value to twice your normal maximum. Grace can take on large |
119 |
|
|
positive and negative values. Positive values indicate favor by the gods. |

B<Food>. Ranges between 0 (starving) and 999 (satiated). If it reaches 0 |
124 |
|
|
and your character cannot find some food to eat (e.g. in your inventory), |
125 |
|
|
it begins to die (health points decrease). Some magic can speed up or slow |
126 |
|
|
down the character digestion. Healing wounds will speed up digestion too. |

B<Experience points and overall level> - experience is increased as a |
131 |
|
|
reward for appropriate action (such as killing monsters) and may decrease |
132 |
|
|
as a result of a magical attack or dying. Level is directly derived |
133 |
|
|
from the experience value. As the level of the character increases, the |
134 |
|
|
character becomes able to succeed at more difficult tasks. A character's |
135 |
root |
1.15 |
level starts at a value of 1 and may range up beyond 100. |

B<Attack Slots> - how you attack when you fire (shift-direction, spell, |
140 |
|
|
skill etc.) - your range slot, or you walk/run into something - your |
141 |
|
|
combat slot. You can apply both a ranged attack weapon (such as a spell, |
142 |
|
|
horn, rod, bow etc.) and a combat attack weapon (such as a sword, knife |
143 |
|
|
etc.) at the same time, but only one of them - marked with a C<*> - will |
144 |
|
|
be wielded at any one time. You can quickly toggle between the two slots |
145 |

by using C<KP-Plus>, but usually the server will automatically switch |

between the two slots as needed. |

B<Armour Class>, how protected you are from being hit by any attack. Lower |

current armour worn. For characters that cannot wear armour, Ac improves |

armour worn primarily determines Arm value. This is the same as the |

214 |
|
|
movements per second you can make. It may range between nearly 0 ("very |
215 |

slow") to higher than 40 ("lightning fast"). Base speed is determined from |
216 |
|
|
the Dex stat and modified downward proportionally by the amount of weight |
217 |
