Gah,

I've played all four realms, I've fought a lot in the other three and done well enough for my happiness. Either I've been away for a good while (which I have), or I'm not in the groove, or knights are evil (maybe). But, whatever it may be, where should I start in making a bloody system? I'm not going to be happy with someone elses system, I _hate_ not understanding how my defense works, and I don't consider it well-earned if I just jump into someone elses rig.

So, all that given, heeeelllp! I have a few systems, one zMud, and the other Ethelons MUSH thing, to tear apart and go through. But, jebus, maybe I'm just tired of coding systems over and over, or maybe I've lost the know-how for it. Either way, where would you all recommend I start, in building a sytem from scratch.

I started by throwing in all the help curelist afflictions as aliases.. From there, my idea is to create a list system that checks for the obvious things like stunned, sap, aeon, slick, anorexia, asthma, slit throat, crushed jaw, whatever else I can't think of, then keeps on chugging when those problems are fixed.

Mrh, anyway, I dunno, I really don't. I'm not even sure it's worth all that effort to go attempt to smush, shatter, magick-away others.

Anyway, moral support, suggestions, ideas all welcome.

P.S. And seriously, can we get a few more bloody afflictions? I mean, I don't think over a hundred is nearly enough.. Add stubbed toes, the people demand it.

/rant

Edit: Meant moral support, not mortal.. Love the Gods <3

I like you already, please stick around the forums .

I can't help with the system thing though, I've never had the time to make my own.

You'll want these as the start of your system.



Hrm, then I added transfix in. Then you'll want the Aeon messages:



(I think i'm missing an aeon message from somewhere, astrology maybe?)

Here's anorexia.



(Missing the passive message for if it goes uncaught and you try to eat/sip.)

Here is asthma



Here is slickness



(Missing the passive message for if it goes uncaught when trying to apply a salve or arnica.)



Apprently this is locked throat, and I guess from word of Daevos it is just like anorexia? Not sure exactly though.

Some instant kill messages and misc stuff to highlight, echo, whatever you want to do with it.





Hope some of it helps.

It does help. Thanks.

So far, I've gotten moral support and advice.

Things are looking up.

Good. Just another bout of advice. You should make tracking sleeping your -main- priority. Cuz well, you can't do jack %*^% when you are asleep . I've noticed this across a bunch of the muds and people say that their system is great and all that jazz, well, they never tracked sleeping and when someone managed to strip good old kafe, in this instance, they were dead. Just food for thought.

I'm _trying_ to track it all.. No sense in being half-baked when it's go time.

Right now, I'm working up a affliction-based list thing. I guess it'll check for all the afflictions, and check the various balances, for what to do. It's just tedious, a pain in the butt, and I _know_ it'll be all buggy and spastic when I think I'm done. Mrh.

P.S. I noticed someone stubbed their toe.. No names of course, Eiru.
Hehehe.

P.S.S. Careful or they'll add it.

For anybody conversant with combat and reading this, what's the recommended healing order of afflictions?

So far, I've got Sap and Aeon as first priority, obviously, after which there's slickness, anorexia, and asthma. But, after that?

Because you can heal multiple afflictions at once using different cures (herbs, potions, allheale, focus, ect.) you'll need tiers of priority for each cure type. I think.

blackout? sleep?

Your going to want to have a priority on cureing head wounds when fighting a warrior. (i.e. if your head wounds are low enough warriors can do instakills)

You'll want to set Anorexia above Aeon, because Anorexia will stop all the cures for Aeon (unless you're a Guardian or Healer or Warrior)

And if you have Asthma and Anorexia together, you're screwed if you don't have the right skills in High/LowMagic, unless you're a warrior.

Discipline, focus mind?

Meh, that too. Its 3am here, and i'm dealing with insomnia. Leeeave me alone.

I also want to learn the priorities... Making a curing system myself!

And Nurglokh, my system's for Nexus. Since I don't think you can load things onto Nexus, my system's gonna be in Tutorials, so, I know you don't want to just load a system on, you CAN use mine, since you pretty much have to do all the work that I had to do, without the intense thinking and late nights trying to think of coding stuff, and more things to add for the system. But, it's up to you!

Someone tell me if there's a way to load stuff for Nexus like you would for zMUD and Mush, please!

Fallen don't post where you don't have a clue.

Asthma anorexia (before the change) was cured by focus mind, not gedulah/green. You'll want to set anorexia and make sure you're awake and not stunned ETC before aeon.

Gedulah and Green will both also cure Asthma and Anorexia so he's not incorrect there. But he's probably referring to Slitlock, which if you don't have an affliction curing ability you're pretty much screwed.

Thanks for thinking of me when working on your system.

I don't think I'll need the nexus system, I've put in a lot of hours so far, and I'm probably up to an average combatant, as far as curing goes.

I need to spend a lot more time tweaking things if I ever want to go beyond that, but I've laid the script foundations to alter and change things to suit the situation.

If you ever switch over to zMud, PM me and I'll send you a barebones system that you can tweak to suit your wants and playing style.

Thanks again.

Heh. Tried zMUD, and I didn't like it, that's why I'm sticking with Nexus.

And what the heck is #alarm?

#alarm allows you to set a timer for an action in the future.

Like #alarm "drinkhealth" +5 {drink health}

If you did that, in 5 seconds you would drink health.

It's useful for variable state resets and perhaps aeon/sap.

Maybe other things that I've not considered, as well.

Hmm... because, as you know, I'm making an Diagnose Priority curer, and I'm wondering how to actualy code it. It's kinda confusing. It's turning into a bunch of useless script... Any ideas of how to set it up?

Slitlock was my main focus when I wrote that, yeah. And for some reason, Focus Mind had just slipped mine. Mainly because I usually don't have focus mind and rely on Gedulah/Green to get out of locks.

But its ok, Murphy never slips up in a post. But then again, when all you do is smash boxes and bash people, you don't really have to worry about forgetting anything because your concerns are so small... which is ironic.. considering that size issues are usually what attitudes like that are making up for.

Poor Murphy. Its ok. You don't need to hide your pain.
