Also, what is SMOKE, for? And for cough, I was thinking about effects like this today, but more for colds and things, cough could be just a simple implementation of that... or perhaps a "SICK" bit that gets set, with different sicknesses and diseases having different bitmasks? I as also thinking that poison right now is just done with an effect that lasts for a duration... so why not implement your cough and my "sickness" idea that way too? Just trying to see if there's ways to make things more flexible. :) I would do: FULL, THIRST, DRUNK, HIGH, ADDICTED. One more thing just occured to me, how do your smoking things work? Did you implement the pass code I posted before, or set it up so you have to be holding something to smoke it, or is it just like drink where it can just be in your inventory. Did you include floor-level things, like smoke-fountains? > in the score screen you can see smoke and high > but cough and addicted are not in the list. > > cough and addicted do not go down with everything else > > it takes a long time ( currently a mud week) for them > to go down 1 knotch. I like the idea of addicted too, that's cool, I hadn't thought of it, actually, but it's great. [your specific smoking effects deleted for brevity] Those are all great ideas! I had thought of smoking for increased mana, with decreased HP or something of that effect, but I hadn't gotten there yet, thinking about other possible side-effects. What about gate-way smoke, you can blow a smoke-ring that one person can walk through, like a temporary door, or a teleport (blow ON someone to teleport)... different smokes teleport to different set places, some are random, some are bad? If you don't mind, I'll use some of yours, too! :) > the patch i am releasing will contain just the > basics of the smokeing code. just the abbility > to smoke. the tags to be able to make smokeable > items and items to smoke stuff in. and the > mods to pfiles needed to make the cough and addiction > work. Will that be fore Ascii or Binary PFiles? Is there a difference? I like the idea of ASCII PFiles, but I don't have the patch in yet, is there a recommended ASCII p-files patch for 3.1 yet? -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
