=head2 Tutorial |
7 |
|
8 |
For first time users of CF+, consider skimming through the |
9 |
L<tutorial>. You can also access it by pressing the B<Help> button at the |
10 |
top. |
11 |
|
12 |
=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. |
17 |
|
18 |
=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. |
23 |
|
24 |
=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 |
over a L<map space|glossary/space>: First select which items to pick up in the |
38 |
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. |
43 |
|

45 |
=head1 X<tooltip>Tooltips |
46 |
|
47 |
This section contains some of the tooltips of the Deliantra client. |
48 |
|
49 |
=head2 X<stat_health> |
50 |
|
51 |
B<Health points>. Measures of how much damage you can take before |
52 |
dying. Hit points are determined from your level and are influenced by the |
53 |
value of your Con. Hp value may range between 1 to beyond 500 and higher |
54 |
values indicate a greater ability to withstand punishment. |
55 |
|
56 |
=head2 X<stat_mana> |
57 |
|
58 |
B<Spell points>. Measures of how much "fuel" you have for casting spells |
59 |
and incantations. Mana is calculated from your level and your Pow. Mana |
60 |
values can range between 1 to beyond 500 (glowing crystals can increase |
61 |
the current spell points beyond your normal maximum). Higher values |
62 |
indicate greater amounts of mana. |
63 |
|
64 |
=head2 X<stat_grace> |
65 |
|
66 |
B<Grace points> - how favored you are by your god. In game terms, how |
67 |
much divine magic you can cast. Your level, Wis and Pow effect what the |
68 |
value of grace is. Prayong on an altar of your god can increase this value |
69 |
beyond your normal maximum. Grace can take on large positive and negative |
70 |
values. Positive values indicate favor by the gods. |
71 |
|
72 |
=head2 X<stat_food> |
73 |
|
74 |
B<Food>. Ranges between 0 (starving) and 999 (satiated). At a value of |
75 |
0 the character begins to die. Some magic can speed up or slow down the |
76 |
character digestion. Healing wounds will speed up digestion too. |
77 |
|
78 |
=head2 X<stat_exp> |
79 |
|
80 |
B<Experience points and overall level> - experience is increased as a |
81 |
reward for appropriate action (such as killing monsters) and may decrease |
82 |
as a result of a magical attack or dying. Level is directly derived |
83 |
from the experience value. As the level of the character increases, the |
84 |
character becomes able to succeed at more difficult tasks. A character's |
85 |
level starts at a value of 0 and may range up beyond 100. |
86 |
|
87 |
=head2 X<stat_ranged> |
88 |
|
89 |
B<Attack Slots> - how you attack when you fire (shift-direction, spell, |
90 |
skill etc.) - your range slot, or you walk/run into something - your |
91 |
combat slot. You can apply both a ranged attack weapon (such as a spell, |
92 |
horn, rod, bow etc.) and a combat attack weapon (such as a sword, knife |
93 |
etc.) at the same time, but only one of them - marked with a C<*> - will |
94 |
be wielded at any one time. You can quickly toggle between the two slots |
95 |
by using C<KP-Plus>, but usually the server will automatically switch |
96 |
between the two slots as needed. |
97 |
|
98 |
=head2 X<stat_Str> |
99 |
|
100 |
B<Physical Strength>, determines damage dealt with weapons, how much you |
101 |
can carry, and how often you can attack. |
102 |
|
103 |
=head2 X<stat_Dex> |
104 |
|
105 |
B<Dexterity>, your physical agility. Determines chance of being hit and |
106 |
affects armor class and speed. |
107 |
|
108 |
=head2 X<stat_Con> |
109 |
|
110 |
B<Constitution>, physical health and toughness. Determines how many |
111 |
healthpoints you can have. |
112 |
|
113 |
=head2 X<stat_Int> |
114 |
|
115 |
B<Intelligence>, your ability to learn and use skills and incantations |
116 |
(both prayers and magic) and determines how much spell points you can have. |
117 |
|
118 |
=head2 X<stat_Wis> |
119 |
|
120 |
B<Wisdom>, the ability to learn and use divine magic (prayers). Determines |
121 |
how many grace points you can have. |
122 |
|
123 |
=head2 X<stat_Pow> |
124 |
|
125 |
B<Power>, your magical potential. Influences the strength of spell |
126 |
effects, and also how much your spell and grace points increase when |
127 |
leveling up. |
128 |
|
129 |
=head2 X<stat_Cha> |
130 |
|
131 |
B<Charisma>, how well you are received by NPCs. Affects buying and |
132 |
selling prices in shops, the L<oratory|skill_description/oratory> and |
133 |
L<singing|skill_description/singing> skills and a few other things. |
134 |
|
135 |
=head2 X<stat_Wc> |
136 |
|
137 |
B<Weapon Class>, effectiveness of melee/missile attacks. Lower is more |
138 |
potent. Current weapon, level and Str are some things which effect the |
139 |
value of Wc. The value of Wc may range between 25 and -72. |
140 |
|
141 |
=head2 X<stat_Ac> |
142 |
|
143 |
B<Armour Class>, how protected you are from being hit by any attack. Lower |
144 |
values are better. Ac is based on your race and is modified by the Dex and |
145 |
current armour worn. For characters that cannot wear armour, Ac improves |
146 |
as their level increases. |
147 |
|
148 |
=head2 X<stat_Dam> |
149 |
|
150 |
B<Damage>, how much damage your melee/missile attack inflicts. Higher |
151 |
values indicate a greater amount of damage will be inflicted with each |
152 |
attack. |
153 |
|
154 |
=head2 X<stat_Arm> |
155 |
|
156 |
B<Armour>, how much damage (from physical attacks) will be subtracted from |
157 |
successful hits made upon you. This value ranges between 0 to 99%. Current |
158 |
armour worn primarily determines Arm value. This is the same as the |
159 |
physical resistance. |
160 |
|
161 |
=head2 X<stat_Spd> |
162 |
|
163 |
B<Speed>, how fast you can move. The value roughly means how many actions |
164 |
per second you can make. It may range between nearly 0 ("very slow") to |
165 |
higher than 5 ("lightning fast"). Base speed is determined from the Dex |
166 |
and modified downward proportionally by the amount of weight carried which |
167 |
exceeds the Max Carry limit. The armour worn also sets the upper limit on |
168 |
speed. |
169 |
|
170 |
=head2 X<stat_WSp> |
171 |
|
172 |
B<Weapon Speed>, how many attacks you may make per second when combatting. |
173 |
Higher values indicate faster attack speed. Current weapon and Dex effect |
174 |
the value of weapon speed. |
175 |
|
176 |
=head2 X<npc_message_entry> |
177 |
|
178 |
Enter a message here that you want to tell the NPC and press B<return>. |
179 |
|
180 |
Sometimes you have to tell an NPC something you cannot find out during a |
181 |
normal conversation (such as a password). In those cases you have to use |
182 |
this text entry. You can also enter responses manually instead of using |
183 |
the response buttons below. |
184 |
|
185 |
=head2 X<completer_help>The Command Completer |
186 |
|
187 |
This is your central interface to send text commands to the server. To |
188 |
enter a verbatim command to send to the server, just type the command, |
189 |
followed by a space, and press return. |
190 |
|
191 |
Typing the initial letters of words (or just any letters) displays guesses |
192 |
for commands you might want to use. |
193 |
|
194 |
You can use the cursor-up and cursor-down keys to select between those |
195 |
guesses. |
196 |
|
197 |
B<Right-Click> opens a menu where you can select further options, sich |
198 |
as redefining key bindings. |
199 |
|
200 |
=head2 X<charcreation_focus> |
201 |
|
202 |
Press a key (click on the entry to make sure it has keyboard focus) |
203 |
|
204 |
|
205 |
=head1 X<ui>User Interface Text Fragments |
206 |
|
207 |
This section just contains some longer text fragment used by the |
208 |
Deliantra client. |
209 |
|
210 |
=head2 X<chargen_stats>Character Creation: Stats |
211 |
|
212 |
B<Stats> are a very important aspect of your character. You can use the |
213 |
tooltips to learn what each Stat governs. |
214 |
|
215 |
The stats generated by the server are always sorted from Str (highest) to |
216 |
Cha (lowest). They will be modified later by both the race and the class |
217 |
you choose. |
218 |
|
219 |
You can create another set of stats, swap two stat values with each other |
220 |
or accept the stats as shown below and continue. |
221 |
|
222 |
=head2 X<chargen_race>Character Creation: Race |
223 |
|
224 |
You can look at another race, or accept this race (you will cycle back |
225 |
to this race eventually, so you can take your time making this important |
226 |
choice. |
227 |
|
