Simple questions?

How can I make an aliases that will walk/tumble to random available exit? Is there a way to make mudlet pick one of the exits from gmcp.Room.Info.exits?

Yes, it's possible. I'll dig into my mudlet stuff and see if i can find it.

Alias: Tumbling
Pattern: ^tum$
Code:
local rexits = {}
for i,v in pairs(gmcp.Room.Info.exits) do
   table.insert(rexits, i)
end
send("tumble "..rexits[math.random(1, #rexits)])

Can adapt this too, I guess:

function gust(self, person)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; send("springup")<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local exits = gmcp.Room.Info.exits or getRoomExits(mmp.currentroom)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for dir, num in pairs(exits) do<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if dir ~= "x" then<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if gmcp.Char.Vitals.beastbal == "1" then<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; send("beast order gust " .. person .. " " .. dir)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; send("point gust at " .. person .. " " .. dir)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; break<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end<br>end

Thank you.

As a squad leader, are my squad's experience gains affected in any way by my own personal experience buffs? Assuming no, but figured I'd confirm.

Reylari

I don't believe they are, experience buffs are calculated after the gains I'm pretty sure... Was fun when Achaea was bugged, and elite was getting calculated first. Two people bashing together with maxed elite were getting more exp per mob than they would if they killed it solo.

Hi! Is there a place to find Lusternia's policies on what is and isn't allowed in designing items?

This would be really useful in general, but right now I'm wondering about "loan words" (words that started in another language but have become common usage within English). For example, for the gown I'm designing, I want to use the word decolletage. I know some other games have rules about loan words like that. One of them forbids the use of words that would normally have accent marks (décolletage), since accent marks don't show up in the MUD. (Shh, nobody mention protégé!)

Orventa

@Kerith HELP TRADEMASTER has general rules. I think decolletage should be fine? But you can always MSG Charites IG for design questions too. There's an IG village called Delport that's kind of French in that the villagers have an accent, designers sometimes cite them as an excuse for French things. Instead of French vanilla, we have Delportian Vanilla, macarons etc.

Thanks! I didn't want to pester the Charites if it was already posted somewhere. I'll check out that file next time I'm in-game.

changelog 743 HELP INSANITY 

@Ianir

Can someone confirm if Wiccans recieve the same guardian bonus on ethereal as guardians on their respective planes? I didn't think they did but a bunch of people are saying they are. This change log just made me think of this. Clarity would be nice. Thank you.

EDIT: Oh also is this bonus class based or guild based? Classflex would mean you get it right?

Selenity

Is there a way to list all of the designs you've made, regardless of cartel? (as in, designs you're listed as the designer for)

Also, HELP INSANITY seems to leave out the ability in Healing for recovering sanity.

With conditional reactions, can one create make the condition exclusionary? I want it to trigger on everyone BUT me.

Perhaps it's that I didn't sleep well enough, but, are you specifically asking about coding, @Mrak?

Rancoura

Sounds like @Mrak might be asking about beast reactions. And I would ask artifacts@lusternia.com in that case, Mrak, I know they've done some pretty specific things before but I'm not sure how far they'd go for the listed price.

I was. It seems as if we've actually moved to a hard-coded reactions system, as per HELP REACTIONS. I was told they'd look into updating the HELP PETS file with this information. The stuff in HELP REACTIONS is not working as I'd expect it to, so hopefully between myself and admins we'll be able to work it out.

Edit: Ianir solved all of my problems!

I've had this vial since as long as I can remember, but does anyone remember what it was from?

a commemorative iron vial

Forged from black iron, this decorative vial is crafted to look like the Portal 

of Fate. The body of the vial is an oval, polished to a bright ebony sheen that 

sparkles in any light. Twisting around the Portal of Fate are ropes of pure gold 

shaped like flickering flames. Within the depths of the Portal, brilliant 

diamond dust shimmers like starlight, a testament to the impenetrable and 

unknowable paths of fate. Three iron sisters hover around the Portal of Fate, 

beckoning the observer to meet their destiny within.

It weighs 2 ounce(s).

It has the following aliases: vial, elixir, potion.

Special Ironbeard vial. Its just a non-decay vial. It doesn't have extra links like a normal artifact vial.

Ianir

@Rancoura Given out by Ironbeard in 2007. Non-decay vial, nothing else really special about it.

Rancoura

I knew what it did, just didn't remember where I got it from... gosh, 2007? That would explain why I remembered nothing about it. Thanks, both of you!

Edit: Actually, now my question is -- what was it commemorating? 

Falaeron

Achaea was released in 1997 so maybe 10th anniversary?

Luce

Is there someone to whom I can very politely ask that a quest's mechanics get a QoL change?

Selenity

Is Demigod zap's power affected by the electric damage enhancement rune? What about the circlet of crystal thorns, is that's power affected by a psychic damage enhancement rune?

It is buffed by the respective buffs

Yep, the 10th anniversary of Iron Realms. Saw it in another IRE game.

When factions come, how much will it cost to classflex? Right now you're getting a reduction for covenant guilds, is that going away?

(Okay, might not be a 'simple' question, but maybe someone knows something! *hope*)

I'm not going to be releasing any numbers until factions are actually released, but there have been some adjustments to some of the numbers.

I'm just going to hope that means "it's getting cheaper or worst case stays the same" and looking forward to factions then!

I will say that this is Yet Another Area in which I am quite excited about upcoming changes and am seriously considering starting to use classflexing (I'm one of the probably very small community that has a Tam and has never classflexed).
