Term windows

[Aristobulus]

Hello everyone.

I have a quick question... those extra windows you can open while playing (term-1, term-2, etc)- How do you make those useful? I've seen them displaying messages, inventory, etc. I think that'd be good if I could get 'em to do their jobs.

While playing:
Press '='.
Select "Subwindow Display Settings" (or press 'W').
The screen that opens up should be kinda self-explanatory.

Thank you sir.

Uh... no problem, whatever.

I play with 5 subwindows.

Term 1: Regular screen
Term 2: inv/equip
Term 3: monster memory/spells
Term 4: messages
Term 5: map

Although you need 2 monitors for this, or a 24"

Any chance you could post some screenshots of your layout? I'm very interested to see how it looks.

I play with the main window, monster recall, inventory, and visible monsters.

I used to play with a monster list window for a while, but now I just play FA in full-screen mode, which has a ton of info on it by default. But that monster list is key either in a term window or full-screen.

Sure, but I remembered wrong, I've removed the map window.

Monitor 1 on the left, contains main npp window.
Monitor 2 contains:
Term 1: inv/equip
Term 2: monster memory/spells
Term 3: messages
Term 5: terrain memory (npp only)
Term 6: monster list
Monitor 3 contains:
Term 4: map, which is currently not turned on

I would love and object list in this game, that would save me so much time.
I use the monster list the most while playing.

edit: crap that was almost non-viewable. I think you can download that jpg, and zoom it in yourself? let me know if it works. Raw bmp screenshot is 7 MB
