Upcoming Changes [long post] Sunday, September 9th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
I've been working on a separate branch of the code for some time now, which is why you haven't seen updates from me for a bit. I'm nearly finished and you should see some changes by the end of the week.
Creature superclass, Monster/Player subclass If you're familiar with programming, the mud formerly used a creature class to handle both monsters and players. I've created Monster and Player subclasses to make a greater distinction between the two. This change doesn't mean much to the average player, but here's one: Command Structure The command structure of the mud has been rewritten to handle subclasses. So what? Why do I care? The manner in which pets receive commands from their masters has been updated. Here are some text caps illustrating the changes: : conjure fire : You conjure a firey skeleton warrior. A firey skeleton warrior (M) just arrived. : pet spells The firey skeleton warrior (M)'s Spells Known: burn, cure-poison, fireball, mend-wounds, vigor. (5) The firey skeleton warrior (M)'s Spells Under: None. : pet c burn wino The firey skeleton warrior (M) casts a burn spell on the wino. : Pets haven't been given any new spells or special abilities - they were all there previously, the capacity to use them just wasn't coded. However, your pets should vig you when you're hurt: : c ice
You cast a iceblade spell on yourself.
The spell did 75 damage.
: The firey skeleton warrior (M) casts a vigor spell on you.
: The firey skeleton warrior (M) casts a vigor spell on you.
:: pet c fireball dominus
Pets cannot attack their masters.
:Preferences The interface in which you manage your preferences has been completely redone. Additionally, a toggle command has been added: : set Color mirc :: mirc colors :: off ansi :: ansi colors :: on langcolor :: language colors :: on extracolor :: extra color options :: off Channels cls :: class channel :: on race :: race channel :: on broad :: broadcast channel :: on newbie :: newbie channel :: on gossip :: gossip channel :: on clan :: clan channel :: on tells :: send/tell/whisper/sign :: on ignore :: ignore all channels :: Notifications duel :: duel messages :: on login :: login messages :: on shopprofit :: shop profit notifications :: on mail :: mudmail notifications :: on group :: group combat messages :: on permdeath :: perm death broadcasts :: on auction :: player auctions :: on notifications :: show all notifications :: Combat autoattack :: auto attack :: off lagprotect :: lag protection :: off lagrecall :: recall potion if below half hp :: on wimpy :: flee when HP below this number :: off killaggros :: attack aggros first :: on mobnums :: monster ordinal numbers :: on Miscellaneous follow :: can be followed :: on autowear :: wear all on login :: off short :: short description :: on long :: long description :: on prompt :: descriptive prompt :: off nlprompt :: newline after prompt :: off summon :: can be summoned :: off split :: split gold among group :: off stats :: show group your stats :: off xpprompt :: show exp in prompt :: off pkill :: show pkill percentage :: off afk :: away from keyboard :: off : toggle pkill Preference : show pkill percentage : on. : toggle pkill Preference : show pkill percentage : off. : Second, all preferences have been reworded to work in the positive manner. Note that "set nopkill" has been changed to "clear pkill" and "set nosummon" to "clear summon". However, in the case of summon, "nosummon" is currently being maintained so it doesn't cause any accidental deaths in hairy sitations. In addition, the autoattack preference has been fixed, so you won't have to worry about it crashing the mud anymore. sleep A sleep command has been added, working similar to sit. Read "help sleep" for more details. I'm planning on putting these changes live by the end of the week, probably on Friday. I'd like to do some more testing on them to make sure there are no major bugs that crop up. With luck, everything will go smoothly, and I can start working on some new projects.  Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over.  | ||

This code is now live. There were a few bugs that needed to be worked out, but hopefully those are all resolved now. Please post if you find any. Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. | ||

Easiest fix would be to suicide and remake - your character wasn't given skills at character creation. I tested, they're working now. Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. | ||

Re: Re: Upcoming Changes [long post] Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 at 8:54 am I bet what is going on is, the mud is sending "you're not poisoned!" to your pet, not you. It'll be a quick-fix to give you the message instead. Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. | ||
Re: Re: Upcoming Changes [long post] Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 at 8:57 am Fixed! Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. | ||
