Erm, yeah.. but it would mess with just about everything else :P

Jorus

Anyone ever watch a good enchanter in action?

Constriction is essentially a counterspell, as you mention.

It might be interesting if dispel magic were able to counter as well, but that might be overly powerful.

Tesil,

You got what you deserved in this case. If someone is making physical threats to you or someone else, report it to the police or ask the moderators here to deal with it.

Muma,

Enchanters have one of the best spells for preventing mobs from casting.

FEEBLEMIND. It rules.

I solo all sorts of stuff using that spell.

Change the #CW statements to #SA statements and you'll see what the problem is. It looks like only the last #CW statement to be executed actually takes effect. So all you're really doing with those four is "#CW %if( %1<6 and %2=pm, "bold,red", "bold,green")" which will only give the correct colorati...

Savras, I'm unsure of the format mob stats are provided to areas gods via areas god commands, but if you'd like to email me I would be happy to help create some sort of zmud trigger (or find someone familiar with the client of your choice) to translate the "flags" field into readable text. This is d...

Jorus

This depends if liches suffer feedback or not, really. 15 living rot's as well as 45 or so nuking pets would really hurt many large encounters. The only _real_ problem they'd suffer is a total lack of stoneskin. Another problem is rooms with silence. But this can be overcome with large masses of pet...

I think the solution to the "grey elf crisis" (as described by Malacar) is Evereska.

Evermeet is by no means the only sizable elven settlement in faerun.

I can picture elves being given similar options at creation as humans are: Where would you like your hometown to be.

Savras, All of the "old" hometowns could use some revamping if you ask me. Waterdeep seems like a rural village when compared to Baldur's Gate, for example. An idea I've been considering on and off is writing the trails and rivers leading up to Mithril Hall and Silverymoon. Mithril Hall is NOT locat...

Jorus

For this one you'd have to enumerate way too many possibilities.

I'd settle for %w tells you '* {ress|ress~?}*'

Jorus

You were close on your first try, Celara. The approach I'd go for is a combination between yours and Cherzra's. Storing your list in a variable is extremely useful as it lets you modify it without opening the editor or the variable each time. So: #var friendlist {friend1|friend2|friend3} Trigger: Pa...

Try this:

What's this garg?

Did somebody finally put in a REAL beholder?

Right on. About time I say!

Now give those procs to all other beholders in the game (Meilech, MH mines, demi... woot)!

Does this mean I have to learn to count too, Shev?

First we have to learn how to read... Now this... Talk about design flaws!

On another note, though... It should be possible to prevent high levellers from doing a "newbie" zone "hard and fast" without making it impossible to enter the zone. It should also be possible to prevent high-levellers from helping out. Mob procs seem to be the way to go (have mob-caster-X gate in a...

Jorus

Also,

I would like to offer my services to any who find themselves restricted from a zone they would like to visit due to overly high levels.

I know of ways to rectify abnormally high levels in short order. It's partially temporary.

Jorus

Woops, better get rid of the newbie zone too, then. I mean, that recall command is gonna SERIOUSLY impact high level playability and the overall feel of the mud... Of course, that said, it might not hurt if the newbie area _was_ connected to the mud in some walkable way. I had always thought it woul...

Jorus

How do you mean?

Can you post your @weapmodes variable, and the sequence of commands used?

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

Hmm, yeah..

No offense Saeven, but I suggest you find another way to advertise your commercial products than by posting about it on BBS's.

Or at the very least make it very clear what costs are involved with your product, as the fees for SZM were somewhat buried on your site.

Regards,
Jorus

Jorus

Yeah, I didn't bother trying to keep it from storing cursed items. The only time it really matters other than reducing spam is when trying to equip weapons fast in combat. The extra command trying to pull the weapon out of a bag can leave you unarmed for a round. I'm going to do a little bit more de...

A small update. What's it do? Handles cursed weapons sexy-like, with no wasted commands trying to get em from bags. Why? Why not!?? Another edit to mention that the aliases here just supercede the ones above. You still need the other helper functions for this to work properly. Small edit to change t...

Jorus

Looks good! The only changes I'd make would be in the pattern, to make it ignore input of "a1" etc: #ONINPUT {^~a([a-z])$} {assist %item( {@group}, %ismember( %1, @test_set))} "-" {nocr} #ONINPUT {^~r([a-z])$} {rescue %item( {@group}, %ismember( %1, @test_set))} "-" {nocr} I also have a trigger that...

From my books, jousting (light) lances are 1handed, but there are 2handed lance varieties..

At any rate, a lance is hardly the same type of weapon our typical 1h piercing weapon is.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but... Could the 2h piercing skill be put in the game? I envision paladins, antipaladins, and warriors having this skill. Why? Lances and mounted combat, primarily. I would love to see paladins on horses actually using horseback weapons (goodness me!). No ext...

I love the bit about wanting them to offer smaller portions.

Have you SEEN a small fries lately? That's like three fries and salt.

Or how about those small burgers you can get? One mouthful? Two maybe?

No biters?

a quick comment on globing bards... If there are spare globes, I make sure bards get them in groups where I do the assignments. If there aren't any spares, the bard will be the first to loose their globe though. Why? In fights, a bard's primary use is their songs. The hitting damage they do is secon...

I should add that I created and tested it in zmud 6.26, but I anticipate that it should work in 6.16 and 5.55.

If anyone using these versions has any trouble, post back and I'll help fix it.

Jorus

Jorus

Ok, here it is. It is pretty much infinintely flexible. I've included several "demo" configurations (the weapmodes variable). It should work for weapons, instruments, shields, etc, in virtually any combination. Usage: To add a weapon mode: newweap <some mnemonic (may be multiple words)> Follow the p...

If missile-shield stays as it is (total blocking of non-magical ranged attacks for the duration) it NEEDS to have a low duration. Think how much worse off PC's would be if mob missile shield lasted 12 minutes? If, OTOH, the intended function is implemented (chippable stone-skin-like protection), I c...

Perhaps as an alternative, all the "2nd step" items could be made to repop as well (those who know what I mean will know what I mean...)

I'm not sure if the botting rules apply to rolling. I would assume not, since the rollers ALL fall under the "bot" category.

A middle-of-the-road solution would be to make your roller "#beep" when it gets a match. Turn up your speakers real loud, and do something nearby.

You can probably use %eval inside the () part of the if to avoid those syntax errors.

I am vastly FOR complex mob "structure" specificicity. IMO, it would be great if it were possible to specify some of the following on a per-mob basis (they would also be defined under the various predefined mobile types already available): Immunity to crits/backstabs Multipliers to received damage f...

Zen, Replace the "switchweaps" alias with the following: #if (!%null( %1) & !%null( %2) & (%1 <> %2)) { gb %2 rem %1 #if (!%null( %3)) {wear %2} {wield %2} pb %1 } There's no need to compare the body of %3 to "shield" since it is only ever present to indicate that a shield is the desired new item (t...

Just do like they suggested. Type some commands that will take a while to complete, then what you want to do. The commands you want to do quickly will go as fast as possible. My favourite is to type "search", then the commands I want to execute quickly. Search gives enough of a delay to load up on c...

My only possible explanation is that something isn't getting evaluated somehow. Try #if (@currentInstrument <> @harp) or #if ([@currentInstrument <> @harp]) <> is another way to do !=, and may act a little different (though I can't think why). The []'s will force evaluation. The if should be forcing...

My view: I don't generally haste anyone for "little" fights. I do haste as many as I can for big fights, though. This means hitters get haste, and tanks get haste if there aren't any shielded mobs in the fight (or if there is an elementalist in the group). The advantage to being a ranger is the sust...

Jorus

Yep. Subject line pretty much says it all. When cast on self when tanking with noone else in the room, nothing happens. I've been killed by this several times. I've used the "bug" command to report it before, but I guess this'll be more effective. Discuss! Here's the helpfile: "This spell has two sl...
