problem with keymaps in 3.3.0

[biini]

Hi!

Back in the dungeon, since.. 10(?) years
A lot have changed and my previous character was lost somewhere in the bit dungeon..

Anyway, I'm now running 3.3.0 on debian and wondering how to make macros/keymaps work.

I can interact with keymaps, and if for example I enter \e\ep1f (find traps, doors) as a keymap and trying to run it, the game asks me "fire which item?" If i try \e\epp1f, it actually casts find traps and doors, but after that is asks again "cast from which book?". The messages says:

You sense no traps.
You sense the presence of doors and stairs!
Illegal object choice (inven)!

soo... I'm a bit lost here

Macros don't exist any more; just keymaps. They can only be invoked when the game is waiting for your next action (i.e. there's no other prompt onscreen, not even a -more- prompt), so you don't need to stick a bunch of \e at the beginning of the prompt.

I think your other problem is that you should be using m for all spells, even priest spells. I don't think the p command exists any more, or if it does, it's just an automatic keymap for m, and thus wouldn't be recognized from within the keymapping interface (since keymaps can't "stack", i.e. refer to other keymaps).

Anyway, welcome back!

3.4.x that changes. In there enclose your keymap to () and it clears -more- prompts.

here is my priest.prf from 3.4.1. Works with 3.5 too. (a bit of clutter in it that's just remnants of ancient times)
