The config file Interhack checks first is ~/.interhack/config. The config file is pure Perl, so these can get arbitrarily complex. Here are some helper functions you can use.

nick "NICK";

This sets your autologin nickname to NICK.

nick "Eidolos";

pass "PASS";

This sets your autologin pass to PASS. See below on setting passwords.

pass "foob3";

recolor qr/REGEX/ => "COLOR";

This colorizes any string matched by REGEX to COLOR. See below on what

valid colors are. Also, the config reader can parse NetHack-style MENUCOLOR

lines.

color red You are slowing down

remap "KEY" => "STRING";

This remaps KEY to send STRING instead of KEY. It's not very powerful right

now because you can't define ctrl-keys or anything fancy. So wait on this.

remap chr(5) => "E- Elbereth\n";

make_annotation qr/REGEX/ => "MESSAGE";

This sets up an annotation for strings matching REGEX. When a string matching REGEX is seen, then MESSAGE is displayed on the second line in dark gray.

make_annotation qr/You feel cool!/ => "You just got fire resistance!";

make_tab qr/REGEX/ => "STRING";

This sets up a "tab". When a string matching REGEX is seen, then a tab is

set up such that when the player presses tab, STRING is sent.

make_tab "\e[What do you want to name this gray stone?"

=> "the Heart of Ahriman\n";

Passwords:

While you can put your password in ~/.interhack/config, it's probably not a

good idea (since it makes sharing more difficult). So instead you can make

files such as ~/.interhack/passwords/Eidolos which would contain the password

to the account Eidolos. Make sure that these files are unreadable to others

('chmod 700 ~/.interhack/passwords' is probably your best bet).
