Glad this relates to my system! (Note, I don't mind the pinning it's getting though!)
Anyway, new addition is a graphical menu, which from the alias "settings" will pop up from the right edge of the screen to allow you to change things like "using ignite to burn vines" or "using focusmind" with a simple click of a button! Trying to make her as user friendly as possible.. And by using disable and enable classes to operate the menu, it adds no lag!


Is there an option to just use your own elementalism skills instead? I can't get my mage settings to work. Although to be honest, I haven't really been arsed to try.
Ildaudid2006-11-07 15:37:30
did you try typing mage=1 at the prompt? or going into variables and looking for @mage and changing it to 1?

If that didnt work, beat Shryke with a cane

Thats why you rinse and repeat, recasting your nastier DoT's and hitting them with other stuff too duh.


Diminishing returns, nub. Don't forget, fear at that level is like 6 seconds max, versus 15 seconds max of the higher rank of fear. I forget the exact numbers, haven't played for awhile and to lazy to Thottbot it. Twinked Rogues/Warriors and to a slightly lesser extent, Hunters, are the most powerful. Can't twink casters as effectively.

Though you could make an amazing Warlock twink for the 21-30 range (before they changed it to 20-29). I had a Warlock with 2500 hp at level 30, it was hawt. But then again twinking wasn't popular yet, so I never saw a single twink other than myself for the entire duration of me playing in the 21-30 range, before they changed it to 20-29 and so I was forced out of my bracket. Ending up making the lock my main (later to be replaced by a Druid).

@mage = 1 should work.
Shryke2006-11-07 23:12:14
Yes, the new menu allows you to toggle that (graphically) Tell me what skills you would rather use elementalism for... Currently it's just cleanse.
Ildaudid2006-11-07 23:16:39
Shryke, fix Aiakon he is broken


If you dont I will post the lyrics to Little Red Corvette here. smile.gif

That's bad syntax and only (sorta) works in zMUD because Zugg thought there'd be far too many pointless support calls if he didn't make it work.
Shryke2006-11-08 01:30:40
yes, I use mage=1 either way...

These days its the opposite - every WSG (esp the 10-19 bracket) is full of twinked horde n00bs who probably spent $180US on the gold to get their guys twinked.

New additions!
Automatic healing scroll reading->will read down to 5 charges, then stop.. Uses up to 3 scrolls in rotation!! Allows up to 135 reads before changing out. Uses a rotating variable to switch between each scroll as it gets low! Very cool mechanics on this one tongue.gif Note, it'll work if you have 1, or 2 scrolls as well!

Bard curing-added in curing for egovice, manabarbs, and powerspikes... No longer will you kill yourself from clotting while manabarbed! I assure you that!
Also: Tracks octave to ensure you don't go crazy trying to cure bard afflictions while you cant!

As always, minor bugs fixed.

My PM box is empty enough now that you can PM me with system requests!

Cool Magool smile.gif Do you have a list of people to send the new updates to or do you need me to contact you?
Shryke2006-11-13 07:02:45
I'm gonna add in some easy aliases, and I'll send it out... I've got a list tongue.gif

Should be in your inbox at least by wednesday (updating the settings menu)
Shryke2006-11-24 22:03:05
Okay guys! Some nice new updates include:
Updates for the venom changes > improved use of faeleaf, myrtle, and health potions to keep 6th sense up.
Also, added more buttons onto the settings menu, as well as giving greater hypochondria protection with a bashon/bashoff button.

This bashon/bashoff buttond does this:
In PVP combat, all venom affliction lines (the initial ones) are given with an earlier message, it could be a fetish, a sword, or a dagger, etc. Before all these triggers were always enabled in order to allow you to track the messages from mobs (who's early message triggering would be a burden on the system) Now, when you're bashing, just type Bashon, or click the bashing button in the settings menu, and you'll track as you always did. But when in combat, you can type bashoff, this protects you from tracking hypochondria fake affliction messages, as well as giving far better illusion protection.

Other additions include > greater use of anchors, fixing some hidden multistates, and making the autoscroller more user friendly.

Please PM with your email and IG name so I can send this one out (it should go out to everyone)

Soon to come: A pic of the system with the settings menu up
Edit:
Here> IPB Image

Note: You can turn the settings menu off as well, it's meant to be something you set up before hand, and use to easily toggle your settings, even though lots of my users like to keep it up! It's meant to be poofable so as to save space, leaving rooms for maps etc. (which we may be adding, we'll see!)
Shryke2006-11-27 04:53:44
Alright, new updates are:
More bug fixes, more use of multistates to cut down on extra triggers.
All the new PB stuff is fully automated to cure but I don't have the double crack elbow message yet.

Here's what I need from my faithful customers!
the new AL hit, diagnose, repeating(if there are any), and cure messages, as well as the double elbow (for the break) message...

Oh, and as I was updating the regeneration stuff, I fixed a bug, just to make yall happy tongue.gif
I expect to have an accordingly updated system out tomorrow (if it's a snow day, day after if not).

EDIT: added in slitlock curing to use cleanse instead of gedulah/green, all that's left is severspine, the crackedelbow breaking, slicedthigh breaking, shatter jaw, and ringing ears!
Ildaudid2006-11-27 05:02:10
Find Clise, she will help and there is a new double crack knee from them... also you need her to do her new transkill/instakill thingie on you... Get cracking!! tongue.gif
Unknown2006-11-27 05:22:02
I've tried it and it seems there's no special message for crippling the whatever when it's cracked. Basically, if your elbow is already cracked and you see the cracked elbow message for that arm again, your arm is now crippled as well.

That's what happened when I experimented anyways.
Ildaudid2006-11-27 06:00:24
Were you on the giving or receiving end?
Shryke2006-11-27 06:54:34
Ooooh, that's convinient, just the AL messages now!
Edit: while adding the new stuff in I redit regen curing, should be more foolproof and effective now smile.gif
(Also got rid of ~~13 extra triggers while I was at it)

umm both? I was using Anatine. I only see the messages from the perspective of the person on the receiving end.
What was really weird was when I hit my own parry with heftysword. two-handed sword... both parrying and attacking itself... gah.
