Client and Interface

Mortal Realms supports a VT102-style display layer, prompt controls, and several commands that make everyday play easier once they are configured properly.

VT102 Support

`vt102` controls the game’s built-in terminal display features. The original help recommends using it whenever possible. It can show live stats during play and supports row configuration, bold options, and tactical update speed changes.

• `vt102 on` enables support mode.
• `vt102 off` disables it.
• `vt102 ` sets rows from 10 to 100 lines.
• `refresh` repairs a garbled VT102 display.

Prompt and Readability

The help also ties VT102 to `config`, `refresh`, `clock`, and tactical display settings. If your display looks wrong, the first thing to check is the configured row count. The second is client compatibility.

Useful Display Commands

• `score` and `status` for character state
• `affects` for active spell effects
• `time` and `weather` for world state
• `prompt` and `config` for interface tuning

Practical Advice

• Match your row count to your actual client window.
• Use `refresh` before assuming the client is broken.
• If VT102 is unstable, reduce update speed rather than abandoning it immediately.
