Hi Group, I was just wondering if anyone here has had any luck converting aliases and trigger-sets between these two versions. The main area of concern appears to be zugg's new "string" data-type, and the lack of a "pattern matching" method for string-lists. The new stringlists cause the additem and...

Hi Guys, As an additional thing to mention, all people who volounteer to be helpers are visibile on "who" via a special flag. "who helper" will show you any helper who is currently on the mud and not "anon". If you aren't getting a reply via NHC, politely asking someone who shows up on who-helper ma...

Kuurg,

I find combining the %repeat function, the %len function and some judicious use of variables allows making a line any desired length quite easily.

What's the casting time on unholy word for PC's?

Wasn't it increased a little while ago, or is it still quick like PWB (2+ per round)?

My guess is that if it was increased, this increase is NOT being applied to mobs.

And then there have been the times where I have died and lost 18% xp, and upon immediate ressurection, regained 20% xp.

Fortunately for me, it resulted in my gaining a level. *grin*

Another up-side to this (hypothetical) modification/toggle going in is that it will be a fairly solid upgrade for bards. Ok well, a tiny upgrade, but it helps. And I imagine that there is a place in the code where this engaging can be trivially toggled, as fairly frequently when I am casting on a mo...

Hi guys, For a perspective on buffing tanks, as an enchanter I really wouldn't mind being one of two or three required "buffing" classes for some big fights (hell, we already _are_ one of two required buffing classes, the other being clerics). Very big fights that is. Of course, along with that ther...

Jorus

The way I see it, to expand on my point above... No WAY are you going to beat a dracolich by outwitting it in it's own den. Be glad the place isn't full of instant-kill traps with crazy escape procs on the draco-lich. Dracoliches are SUPPOSED to eat you for lunch. *grin* "Dragonscales? Phaugh, I eat...

Xebes, After the next boot a group went into CC to retrieve Ebgar's corpse. We got there in one or two mem's. Here is how most of the fights went: Tank north. Group enters. Rangers afire. A round passes. Ranger gets a CRITICAL hit doing lethal damage. Mob dies, regardless of condition (though some c...

Jorus

You know, with those "hard" fights, there usually is a way to win. Hard zones are MEANT to be hard. All I can really say is: Myth Drannor --------------------- levels 45-50 Maker: Kereth/Erevan Jotunheim ------------------------ levels 40-50 Maker: Talos Though I guess by that standard, Brass might ...

Jorus

Another alternative is to make a trigger-set that places all of your group-mates in a variable, and then gets all weapons not dropped by them. Of course, that _could_ offend some PC's who aren't grouped with you, so you'd need to be careful with it.

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

Take a look at the #func command in the helpfiles. I think it is more oriented to that type of thing than a poor variable.

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

Iaiken,

The "#additem" command will eliminate duplicates. Take a look in the helpfiles for the syntax.

Grintor, You can't be serious in saying you had so much difficulty rolling better than mighty average average mighty poor poor poor poor Did you have any other requirements on your roll? I rolled a paladin as well, and aimed for slightly better stats. I ended up getting "herioc good average perfect ...

Jorus

Gormal,

Could you post the line from the mud for all of those events?

Include the mobname, etc.

From there a trigger-set will be easy.

Hi Guys, Regarding blacklight burst: It does only get cast in zones in very select locations. Some areas where it is useful are jot gatehouses and UE, where a mem worth of blacklight bursts will slow most of the mobs. When you're talking huge !bash warrior mobs that crit for 200+ hps, that can be a ...

Jorus

Zrax, If you want to compare spells on a spell-by-spell-one-for-one basis, NOBODY compares to enchanters. I am fairly confident that we have the longest spell-list in the game (counting by spell-levels, here, not by pure count of spells, as I havn't tallied anyone else's). My enchanter's spellbooks ...

Jorus

Kiryan, Obviously, you are speaking from a "doing xp" perspective, which, imo, is meaningless. Enchanter nukes are good in a zone context, where blacklight burst _will_ slow people in a crowded room, where it is most useful, thus preserving stones. Pris WILL blind/para/feeb people in a crowded room,...

Jorus

In a thread on invokers I wrote this, but thought it could use it's own thread: I _do_ think enchanters would be well served by a high-level quest area that _only_ does random enchantments. I'm thinking it could have two "modes".. cast on group and cast on enemies. On the group, it puts random encha...

Jorus

Lack of protection spells: I am confident that an enchanter in your groups would be happy to toss you the occasional pre-stone prior to spellups for big fights, and the like (armor from paladins/clerics, bark from rangers), though I admit it wouldn't be terribly unbalancing to give invokers somethin...

Jorus

How about this: Ranger "charm" works on any mount-animal (perhaps some class/hps limitation) and any "medium" or smaller non-mount-animal under Nth level. Lets put N at 10-15. No balance issues there, really. Give druids something similar (but give them access to "large" animals). Hell, give paladin...

Jorus

Here's my idea: Upon leader1 death, leader2 consents leader1, and leader1 does something like "claim group leader2" which transfers the leadership back. This could be applied to any group, so lets say Gormal has a group, and wanting me to lead podville because he gets lost there, he hands the group ...

Jorus

What's this about enchanter offensive spells sucking? Give me a break. Enchanters have more than enough offense to help out between stones (when we rarely have time). Witness a recent invasion run where maybe 7 of the mobs were major para'd, and that's not counting the incidental pris para (there we...

Jorus

My suggestions: With the advent of hitroll being modified by dexterity, there is a need for +dex eq (I mean, those rings from astral are nice, but they can get boring) among the hitters and tanks out there (either +hps and tank type only, or +hit/dam and hitter type only). One idea would be a ring a...

Hi Snurgt, Sure thing! A comment about the variables: If you don't have a water weapon for any slot (eg, bow as an example, I don't think you fumble those much :P) you can just leave the variable as "null", though you should make sure it's defined, or you can define the variable as the same word as ...

Jorus

Here's a new version with the added ability to provide "floating" weapon control for all modes (or just alternate weapons). Usage: To get information about current "state": weapmode (or give invalid input, such as "weapmode abc") To change modes: weapmode <mode> To enter floating weapons mode (when ...

Jorus

Also, if you want just one item, this one will work wonders:
"item

Syntax: %item(list, n)

returns the nth item of the given stringlist
Examples:

#SHOW %item("Athos|Bertrand|Caesar",3)

displays:

Caesar"

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

Err, rather, I'll post a version that has a few more options.

Regards,
Sam

Jorus

Snurgt,

I'll post a version that is a _little_ bit simpler to configure and understand, using aliases, etc.

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

Two thing I forgot to include, to make that alias work is the following:

#al gb {get %-1 @bag}
#al pb {put %-1 @bag}

#var bag {yourbag}

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

This alias will switch weapons between up to four "modes", and can be adapted for more variations, of course (such as floating versions of all modes, etc). Let me know if there are any changes any of you would like made. Just create the following variables: @1hweap (primary hand 1h weapon) @shield (...

Jorus

Not sure on CC, since I don't know the mobs there well enough, but this should give you a framework for a random-crit alias/trigger:

#case %random {message1} {message2} {message3} {etc};

Regards,
Jorus

Hi Kuurg, One possible solution is to convert your variable into a string list, so replace each space with a "|". You can then use the string functions such as #additem (or %additem) and #delitem (or %delitem) to remove individual words. An example would be: #var fumble {%replace(@fumble," ","|");#d...

Jorus

I find the #door command very useful for editing pesky door keywords.

Cherzra,

@{@temp} should do it.

Oh, and a second mitigating factor in the size of my trigger sets is I like to make things complex :P

I think you'll all agree. Just take a look at the trigger sets I've posted. Rofl.

Jorus

It could fairly easily be modified to function using the mud's uptime. It's that complex to avoid the occasional (but rare) problem with crossing the 23:59-00:00 boundary as well as problems in how crashes are handled (I don't believe layhands, spirit summons, or assassinate reset on crashes/reboots...

Jorus

Assassinate Timer: The commands: "assr" Resets the timer incase of any glitches or suchlike (crash reboot, etc. perhaps?) "assas" Use just like you use the command on the mud. (If you give me more syntax I can make this a little more "intelligent". "assascheck" Checks the timer and reports whether a...

Jorus

I find typing "forget all" works very well for re-ordering spell-lists, though there is a fair bit of typing involved. All "forget all" does when you have un-memmed spells in your "queue" is clear your queue (leaving any spells already memmed alone). Once you have done that, you can re-queue spells ...

Jorus

Also, spelling of variable names is important (I assume, however, that the misspelling was just in your copying over to the boards :P)

pctargert1 != pctarget1

spelling..

Hi Gavry, In "map" mode, in the room with the special exit you want to take (be it enter portal, rub onyx, or whatever), type ">[exit command]" And example, to map a room "enter ship" would be to type ">enter ship" (strip the quotes of couse) This _should_ make a non-directional exit for you, as wel...

Jorus

I'm not sure exactly what you want. Do you want the trigger to be aware of identical instances? If so, that's a pain, and would be MUCH easier done using a list. However, since that's not what you asked for (and I assume you know how to use a list, which could accomplist almost exactly what you want...

Jorus

Hi Lonel, I'll see if I can help you. I'll make this trigger using some variables for the unknowns you have given (text to trigger from, and direction to walk). If you want a random direction, that can be done as well. #var WalkText {} #var WalkDir {} #tr {@WalkText} {exits;#t+ WalkOut2} {WalkOut1} ...

Jorus

If this comes back, you can get rid of it by typing "#nodir" a bunch of times, too.

To begin a speedwalk path: Type "#mark" This will clear you path before and behind. To save a path (once you get to your location) type: "#path <pathname>" This will assign your "path behind" to a path of <pathname>. I believe Use the path by typing .<pathname> Run it backwards by typing #re <pathna...

Xyd, I'm pretty sure the "rescue" code makes use of the same command buffer (fifo) that we get for all of our commands sent to the mud. When one command finishes, the command processor asks a buffer for the next command (or so). I assume this buffer is in the server code as re-connecting to the mud ...

Jorus

Close, Vipplin. *grin* There are two aliases I would suggest, given your specification, Kozzloz. Both are based on Vipplin's alias The first would shift to the name in the variable "@shiftt". I am assuming you already have this set: #ALIAS shiftg {#forall {@conlist} {shift %{i} @shiftt }} The second...

Jorus

Oh, and that print coins alias can be used for other things.

I should modify all this to _not_ convert the coins right away, and do that optionally on printing so that people can display their "group" looted cash that way too. Hmm.

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

I have a similar trigger that I use to display my coins in converted format in my "score" screen. It doesn't take looting or anything into account, and is just a "pretty" display for totalling coins. The algorithm I developed to make the spacing match isn't quite perfect (it leaves too much white sp...

You'll notice this max amount carried is based on dexterity.
