a black potion with a few rat eyes

Postby icecillam » Wed Nov 05, 2003 8:21 pm

Can we keyword these things with rat, or eyes or eye or rats or something useful?

Much aggrivation involvded in get ##.potion/black bag.

some of my personal disfavorites

"a midnight black flask", keywords: potion black oil flask (why not midnight?)
"a small silver chest", keyowrds: chest box ?? (why box?)
"a potion of whirling blue air", keywords: potion air blue (why not whirling?)

You don't even want to know how many daggers have only the one keyword... "dagger." I have somewhere around a hundred and forty daggers, and trying to find one I want to pull out means typing "get 32.dagger" and checking where that got me, then "get 54.dagger" and hoping I can whittle it down. Also, as much as I love the detail Cherzra gave Hulberg, I sure wish he could have been a little more giving when it comes to keywords.

Maybe if players start a list of the most commonly used items with a need for extra keywords, one of the staff might generously offer to change them?

5 points to the person who remembers which item had 'lesbian' as a keyword.

it would be ideal if items could be pulled out of a container using multiple keywords. Something like get purple.potion bag or get purple_potion bag.

You all heard it! Sheverash _promised_ to code it!

As well as that Shev, how about having the object number as a keyword for objects?

Since the object number rarely changes it would be a nice way for us mere mortals to absolutely reference something in our bags.

e.g. take 114513 tinkers
rem 616632
wear 114513
put 616632 tinkers

Unlikely we'd be using it except in aliases, but it'd be a nice way of making sure that we get the right object in them.
