Githyanki longsword

Postby Kerath » Mon Dec 24, 2001 6:00 am

Ok, right now I'm using one of those +20 hp silver githyanki longswords. Now, you see that the word 'longsword' is clearly in the title, yet it is not one of the weapon's identifiers, it will only accept 'sword'. Normally I wouldn't care, but it's screwing up my fumble trigger. Is it supposed to be like this? Seems kind of silly to have longsword in the name and not have it as an identifier.

ID sword, get the keywords for said object.

personally I use the kw 'gith'.

I think it's cool sometimes that some objects require a bit of thought to efficiently manipulate. The rest of the time, I find it a pain in the @$$ as much as you do =)

It's interesting to note that there is no admonition in the areadocs that keywords should be intuitive. And I can think of a few mobs whose keywords and descriptions do not match due to typos.

Something oughta be done about that... there were a few mobs my alt was encountering around Ako Village that were completely unkillable or unconnable, simply because not a single word in their string was a keyword.

Yes, something oughta be done.

Specifically, a very kind person should volunteer to audit these:


Total number of rooms in world: 55929
Total number of different mobiles: 11622
Total number of different objects: 8866

Any takers? Image

If you run into these, just send a friendly mail to Cyric, and it will hopefully be changed Image

During Toril, I offered to write in descriptions for every item that has 'You see nothing special' as its description, but I was turned down. This offer still stands =9.

I wouldn't mind helping you out with that... Hell, I'm also the same person that would log on 3 straight days going up to people saying "Hey, do you know that stats on x item? Can I ID your sword? I PROMISE I won't steal your armor, I just need to take it to my enchanter buddy... Damn, you loaned me your sword, got 2p so I can ID it?" Image
Then Sojourn 3 came along, and I'm NOT doing that again Image
I still have all the stats, too, it's like, 20-someodd pages long Image
But anyhoo, I wouldn't mind going thru all those with ya

I like ansi practice. I offer to ansify things that are !ansi but really ought to be. (of course, that's increasingly rare nowadays...)
