Finally getting around to this after a long list of other things that
my realm demanded. I was informed that Merc/ROM (or one of the other
MUD code bases) had a stock function for weapon skills to determine
usage, as well as a system to gain knowledge in your spells and skills
from using them in battle.
Just looking to verify if this is truth or myth. I rather not go
through downloading and searching through the codes if in fact the code
was not already included. They shouldn't be too hard to do from
scratch, though I was interested in seeing the code anyhow. Part of my
own learning process.
[Some Random Notes Of No Importance]
After adding in the region things I was going for, and making a utils
check added to the CAN_SEE macro, I think I have finally decided that I
will remove global communications from my realm. I am expecting a
negative reaction from the players at first, though like anything, I
think they will adapt.
Tells and the like have already been cut back to region limitations.
I think instead of removing all of the global communications, I will
find less "powerful replacements. For example, a simple auto-auction
code, limited to each region, to replace the current auction channel
(which is hardly used anyhow).
The more I go through the code, the more I wonder why certain things
are not stock. I think as widely used as it is, a nice restore all
would be a nice stock feature. Not hard to add, even for a newbie; I
just find it odd that it was not already included.
Last note. Anyone whom has decided to allow players to save
charmies, pets, mounts, and the like; I was wondering if there are any
specific cautions you would give to someone who is contemplating
undergoing this task. Things to watch out for, troubles along the way,
a balance issue? Well, back to coding I go before my mind loses
interest and I fall into slumber at the keyboard from being awake for 67
hours. Thanks for your time.
