Auto Accent?

I love toying with various accents, though most are annoying, they entertain me. I'd like a very complex accent, but the difficulty of maintaining it without speaking at half or less my normal rate irks me. So then I thought, is it possible with zMUD to sub things in such a way as to create ze auto accent?

Use #oninput.

Like to make a snakey thing doo..
#oninput {s} {sss}
#oninput {S} {Sss}

Yes.

Just create an alias for each of your speaking things (say, gt, tell etc.), and for each of them, do something like this:

CODE
#ALIAS {gt} {~gt %replace( %replace( "%-1", " the ", " ze "), " the,", " ze,")}


Bah, but that's kind of a lot to do. So, you could also create an oninput trigger:

CODE
#ONINPUT {^({gt|say|~'|tell|ct|ot|gnt|market}) (*)} {
 #GAG
 #EXE {%1 %replace( "%2"...etc.)}
 }

Can #oninputs work like that? Also, you'd need to make those triggers to match the case.

Technically, yes, but it'll replace the s in cast soo its not that useful biggrin.gif

Don't be lazy and just write the damn accent tongue.gif

Yeah, but with scripts you can make it do all sorts of random stuff.

Also, your example would make you enter things like "ssstatsss" instead of "stats", etc.

On a similar subject, is there a way to make the normal "Timsae leaves to the west." say "With a slight limp, Timsae leaves to the west." or "Timsae skips to the west." (Idiotic, I know, just an example)?

Nope, but it'd be great if they auctioned off an arti that allowed you to wink.gif

Sorry Jello, but your accent makes me want to stab myself in the eye. It's -almost- a sort of perverted dwarven, but you're an elf!
Unknown2005-02-02 07:07:57
My accent is cool sad.gif
Richter2005-02-02 07:40:38
Karrah agrees with me *nudge karrah* It's hard to read, and doesn't sound elfen...

Uh, good try though! You've just roleplayed more than 90% of the game ever will!

Well actually, Jelaludin's background story is he spent his childhood as an elfen slave in Angkrag and was raised mostly by the undead dwarves and viscanti before being adopted by Valek into the feyranti family. It'll be posted in my background soon enough wink.gif

I'd go with the suggested aliases, oninput triggers (unless you make them very smart) will only mess up your normal typing. Sssupersssling is quite a funny attack to be sure, especially for the one you're (not) hitting *smirk*

Those ones that Drago posted will only end in a loop which will crash zMUD, anyway.
