* Text commands are used to augment the default commands associated with game icons (and which appear in the action indicator).  Text commands are entered into the command line from your keyboard and are executed by pressing the <Enter> key.


* Text commands follow a general, standardized format, although there may be different ways to phrase some text commands that are not explicitly mentioned; therefore, you may find various permutations of the text commands. You should experiment with optional ways of using text commands – but do so in a safe location, where your character’s life is not being threatened while you experiment.

''Note: This table lists core commands. For full details, see sections below. Targeting filters enhance action and control commands; see Targeting Filters. Additional commands may exist; experiment safely.''
 
== Introduction to Text Commands ==
Text commands augment the default icon-based actions (visible in the action indicator). Enter them via the keyboard into the command line.  Press <enter> to allow text entry and press <enter> again to execute.
 
The command/conversation toggle (left of command line) auto-redirects if input starts with "/" (e.g., "/hello" converses even in command mode). Alternatively, you can switch between command and conversation modes by pressing <tab> or clicking on the toggle directly.
 
Commands follow a standardized format, but variations exist—experiment safely. Spelling and syntax must be exact; errors yield "That is not a valid command."
 
* Repeat commands with <code>again</code> (or <code>a</code>), which re-executes the last command, including targets or filters.
* Use up/down arrows to scroll command history (e.g., for alternating sequences like "olaf, train" then "swap").
* Commands execute one at a time; no combining.
* Many commands (e.g., action or entity-related) support advanced targeting filters via <code>@[filter1:filter2:...]</code>. See Targeting Filters.
 
== Volume ==
Adjust game volume via Settings at startup or command line.
 
* '''Settings''': Use the in-game menu.
* '''Command line''': <code>volume 50</code> → Sets volume to 50%.
 
== Item Management ==
These commands handle consuming, picking up, dropping, equipping, and pushing items.
 
=== Drink ===
Consumes a bottle's contents. Searches implicitly: right hand, left hand, sack (bottom to top, right to left).
 
* <code>drink</code>: Drinks first found bottle.
 
'''Example''': <code>drink</code> → Consumes the first bottle via default search.
 
=== Eat ===
Consumes food. Searches implicitly: right hand, left hand, sack (bottom to top, right to left).
 
* <code>eat</code>: Eats first found food.
 
'''Example''': <code>eat</code> → Consumes the first found mugwort a.k.a. sprig.
 
=== Use ===
Activates or uses an item. Checks, in order: right hand, left hand, paperdoll, left rings, right rings.
 
* <code>use {item}</code>: Uses the specified item.
* <code>use</code>: Uses the first eligible item.
 
'''Examples''':
 
* <code>use ring</code>
* <code>use scales</code>
* <code>use 1 ring from left</code> (1-4, right or left.)
 
=== Take ===
Picks up an item from the ground, environment, or manipulates rings. Requires a free hand for rings.
 
* <code>take {item}</code>: Takes the item.
* <code>take</code>: Takes the first available item.
 
Can support targeting filters for specific objects.
 
'''Examples''':
 
* <code>take bottle</code>
* <code>take broadsword</code> (Helps with fumbles; note dead mobs may use same weapons.)
* <code>take 1 ring off left</code> (1-4, right or left.)
* <code>take bottle from counter</code>
 
=== Sack ===
Picks up a sackable item from the floor and puts it in your sack (if room).
 
* <code>sack {item}</code>: Sacks the item.
 
'''Examples''':
 
* <code>sack bottle</code> (Caution: Some bottles are harmful like Napalm, Nitro, Poison, and Urine.)
* <code>sack gem</code>
* <code>sack gold from counter</code>
 
=== Drop and Dump ===
 
* <code>drop {item}</code>: Drops the item (opposite of take).
* <code>drop {item} on counter</code>: Drops on counter.
* <code>dump {category</code>}: Drops all items in category.
* <code>dump {category} on counter</code>: Drops category on counter.
 
'''Examples''':
 
* <code>drop ring</code>
* <code>drop ring on counter</code>
* <code>dump gems</code>
* <code>dump gems on counter</code>
 
=== Belt ===
Sheaths a weapon in your belt.
 
* <code>belt {weapon}</code>: Sheaths the weapon.
 
'''Example''':
 
* <code>belt broadsword</code>
 
=== Wield ===
Pulls a weapon from your belt.
 
* <code>wield {weapon}</code>: Wields the weapon.
 
'''Example''':
 
* <code>wield broadsword</code>
 
=== Swap ===
Switches items between hands (works if both full).


* Text commands must be entered exactly, with correct spelling and using the proper syntax.  Spelling errors or improper syntax will result in an "invalid command" message; type and enter a valid command (or use a default command) to clear the error.
* <code>swap</code>: Swaps hands.


* Text commands may be repeated by typing <span class="command-input">"again"</span> (abbreviated <span class="command-input">"a"</span>), which is identical to typing the previous command. Commands can be repeated as many times as necessary. Text messages (conversation) will not be repeated by the "again" text command.
'''Example''':


* Text commands must be entered one at a time and may not be combined.
* <code>swap</code>
<br />
The command/conversation toggle, located immediately to the left of the command line, is not required be in the correct position (signified by sword icon) before you may issue a text command. The input will be redirected to the alternative toggle if the input begins with a forward-slash. For example: issuing "/hello" while under the command toggle will converse with "hello."
</div>
<br />
<div>
==Stairs==
Changing levels of the dungeon is usually done by going up and down stairs. To ascend or descend a staircase, move to the staircase hex and use the following commands:
* <span class="command-input">"up"</span>, can be shortened to <span class="command-input">"u"</span>
* <span class="command-input">"down"</span>, can be shortened to <span class="command-input">"d"</span>
Moving up and down cannot be mixed with horizontal motion. Do not use the <span class="command-input">“climb up”</span> or <span class="command-input">“climb down”</span> commands for stairs.
</div>
<br />
<div>
==Climbing==
In addition to staircases, you can attempt to climb up and down pits, cliffs and walls. A character’s climbing ability depends on strength, encumbrance, character class and luck. <span class="unverified">Martial Artists and Thieves receive special training in climbing, so they have a strong advantage in this area.</span>
Anyone can climb down a pit; however, to climb up, you must have reasonable strength and climbing ability or you will fall.  Climbing requires at least one hand to be empty <span class="unverified">(most pits require two empty hands)</span>.  Note:  Using the <span class="command-input">"down"</span> command in a pit will most likely cause you to fall. <br/>Instead, use: <span class="command-input">"climb down"</span>
<br/>To climb up a pit, use:
<span class="command-input">"climb up"</span>
</div>
<br />
<div class="tooltip unimplemented">
<span class="tooltiptext">Unimplemented</span>
==Crawl==
From time to time, you will find yourself in a situation where you can’t see where you are going, and you do not want to risk running into or falling off of something.  The "crawl" command will allow you to move one hex in any of the eight directions without fear of falling.  This command is much slower than normal movement.  To safely move one hex to the northwest you would use:
"crawl nw"
</div>
<br />
<div>
==Abbreviations==
When entering text commands, abbreviations often may be used for efficiency.  Note that specific text commands can be shortened to the least number of characters necessary to make the command unique.  For example, <span class="command-input">“fight”</span> shortens to <span class="command-input">“f”</span>; and directions may be abbreviated by entering one or two indicative letters.<br /><b>For example:</b> <span class="command-input">“n”</span> for north, or <span class="command-input">“se”</span> for southeast.


=== Push ===
Moves heavy items along ground, up/down stairs (if strong enough). You move with the item—avoid pushing off cliffs!


Likewise, when speaking to a non-player character, using the first one or two letters of the character’s name often will suffice instead of the full name.
* <code>push {item} {direction}</code>: Pushes item in direction.
<br /><b>For example:</b> <span class="command-input">“m, deposit”</span> may be used instead of <span class="command-input">“Marlis, deposit.”</span>
* <code>push {item} {count} {direction}</code>: Pushes specific instance.


Supports targeting filters.


Creature names can be abbreviated as well. <br /><b>For example:</b> “sk” for skeleton, or “wy” for wyvern.
'''Examples''':
</div>
 
<br />
* <code>push corpse north</code>
<div style="margin: auto; width: 80%;" class="frame-3-pages">
* <code>push bottle 2 north</code>
{| width="100%"
 
== Movement Commands ==
 
=== Stairs ===
Ascend/descend by moving to hex and using:
 
* <code>up</code> (or <code>u</code>): Ascends.
* <code>down</code> (or <code>d</code>): Descends.
 
No mixing with horizontal movement. Avoid climb up/down for stairs.
 
=== Directions ===
Move player in directions: w (west), e (east), n (north), s (south), nw, ne, sw, se.
 
* Enter multiple for repeated moves: <code>w w w</code> → Moves 3 west.
 
=== Climbing ===
Attempt pits, cliffs, or walls. Success: strength, encumbrance, class (Martial Artists/Thieves advantaged), luck. Needs empty hand(s) (most pits: two). "Down" in pits risks fall—use <code>climb down</code>.
 
* <code>climb up</code>: Ascends.
* <code>climb down</code>: Descends.
 
== Controlling Summons and NPCs ==
Guide summons (e.g., phantasms) or certain NPCs (e.g., "gus, follow"). Prefix with name/abbrev (e.g., "ph" for phantasm, "dj", "ef", "1-3", "all").
 
They understand movement, carrying, pushing.
 
* <code>{name}, follow</code>: Follows you (or <code>{name}, follow {name}</code> for friend).
* <code>{name}, stop</code>: Ceases actions.
* <code>{name}, attack {mob}</code>: Attacks (supports filters; abbrev mob names).
* <code>{name}, trail 1</code>: Follows one hex behind (careful not to lose sight).
* <code>{name}, begone</code>: Dismisses.
* <code>{name}, take {item}</code>: Picks up (e.g., coin, gems).
* <code>{name}, dump {item}</code>: Drops (add "on counter").
* <code>{name}, {direction}</code>: Moves (e.g., <code>phantasm, w</code>; multiple: <code>all, w w w</code>; also u/d).
* <code>{name}, push {item} {direction}</code>: Pushes.
 
''Notes: Can't obey if out of hearing; can't climb ropes (yet?).''
 
'''Examples''':
 
* <code>ph, follow</code>
* <code>all, stop</code>
* <code>all, attack orc</code>
* <code>all, trail 1</code>
* <code>all, begone</code>
* <code>1, take coin</code>
* <code>1, dump coin</code> or <code>1, dump coin on counter</code>
* <code>all, w w w</code> → Moves 3 west.
* <code>1, push coin w</code>
* <code>all, attack @[hostile:near]</code> → Attacks nearest hostile.
 
== Action Commands ==
Commands for actions like attacking or casting (not always in combat). Most support targeting; implicit defaults apply and do not need to be specified. Flagged players attackable without extras.
 
* '''Fight''': Melee. <code>fight @[target]</code>. Implicit default: <code>near:hostile</code>.
* '''Jumpkick''': Jump. <code>jumpkick at @[target]</code>. Implicit default: <code>distant:hostile</code>.
* '''Nock''': Prepare bow. <code>nock</code>. Typically used before shoot.
* '''Shoot''': Projectile (after nock). <code>shoot {bow} at @[target]</code>. Implicit default: <code>hostile</code>.
* '''Throw''': Item. <code>throw {item} at @[target]</code> or <code>throw {item} {direction / path}</code>. Implicit default: <code>hostile</code>.
* '''Warm''': Prepare spell (sometimes non-combat). warm {spellname}.  Typically used before cast.
* '''Cast''': Spell (sometimes non-combat). <code>cast at @[target]</code> or <code>cast at self</code> or <code>cast {direction}</code>. No implicit default; specify if needed.
* '''Use''': Activate item/weapon (e.g., in combat). <code>use {item}</code> (e.g., <code>use crossbow</code>).
 
== Targeting Filters ==
Specify entities for <code>cast, shoot, throw, jumpkick, attack</code> (controlled entities), etc. Use <code>@[filter1:filter2:...]</code>; filters are processed in order.
 
=== Filter Categories ===
 
==== Alignment ====

Implicit defaults (do not need specifying):
 
* <code>fight</code>: <code>near:hostile</code>.
* <code>jumpkick</code>: <code>distant:hostile</code>.
* <code>shoot</code>/<code>throw</code>: <code>hostile</code>.

Note: This table lists core commands. For full details, see sections below. Targeting filters enhance action and control commands; see Targeting Filters. Additional commands may exist; experiment safely.

Introduction to Text Commands

Text commands augment the default icon-based actions (visible in the action indicator). Enter them via the keyboard into the command line. Press <enter> to allow text entry and press <enter> again to execute.

The command/conversation toggle (left of command line) auto-redirects if input starts with "/" (e.g., "/hello" converses even in command mode). Alternatively, you can switch between command and conversation modes by pressing <tab> or clicking on the toggle directly.

Commands follow a standardized format, but variations exist—experiment safely. Spelling and syntax must be exact; errors yield "That is not a valid command."

  • Repeat commands with again (or a), which re-executes the last command, including targets or filters.
  • Use up/down arrows to scroll command history (e.g., for alternating sequences like "olaf, train" then "swap").
  • Commands execute one at a time; no combining.
  • Many commands (e.g., action or entity-related) support advanced targeting filters via @[filter1:filter2:...]. See Targeting Filters.

Volume

Adjust game volume via Settings at startup or command line.

  • Settings: Use the in-game menu.
  • Command line: volume 50 → Sets volume to 50%.

Item Management

These commands handle consuming, picking up, dropping, equipping, and pushing items.

Example: eat → Consumes the first found mugwort a.k.a. sprig.

Use

Activates or uses an item. Checks, in order: right hand, left hand, paperdoll, left rings, right rings.

  • use {item}: Uses the specified item.
  • use: Uses the first eligible item.

Examples:

Movement Commands

Stairs

Ascend/descend by moving to hex and using:

  • up (or u): Ascends.
  • down (or d): Descends.

No mixing with horizontal movement. Avoid climb up/down for stairs.

Directions

Move player in directions: w (west), e (east), n (north), s (south), nw, ne, sw, se.

  • Enter multiple for repeated moves: w w w → Moves 3 west.

Climbing

Attempt pits, cliffs, or walls. Success: strength, encumbrance, class (Martial Artists/Thieves advantaged), luck. Needs empty hand(s) (most pits: two). "Down" in pits risks fall—use climb down.

  • climb up: Ascends.
  • climb down: Descends.

Controlling Summons and NPCs

Guide summons (e.g., phantasms) or certain NPCs (e.g., "gus, follow"). Prefix with name/abbrev (e.g., "ph" for phantasm, "dj", "ef", "1-3", "all").

They understand movement, carrying, pushing.

  • {name}, follow: Follows you (or {name}, follow {name} for friend).
  • {name}, stop: Ceases actions.
  • {name}, attack {mob}: Attacks (supports filters; abbrev mob names).
  • {name}, trail 1: Follows one hex behind (careful not to lose sight).
  • {name}, begone: Dismisses.
  • {name}, take {item}: Picks up (e.g., coin, gems).
  • {name}, dump {item}: Drops (add "on counter").
  • {name}, {direction}: Moves (e.g., phantasm, w; multiple: all, w w w; also u/d).
  • {name}, push {item} {direction}: Pushes.

Notes: Can't obey if out of hearing; can't climb ropes (yet?).

Examples:

  • ph, follow
  • all, stop
  • all, attack orc
  • all, trail 1
  • all, begone
  • 1, take coin
  • 1, dump coin or 1, dump coin on counter
  • all, w w w → Moves 3 west.
