Yes, you need the skill.

Drawback is you'll always lose a fraction of a second in equilibrium when you use it. It diagnoses and then cures. Imagine if your system just cured off diagnose. That's what this is, except you don't have to code it.

Sweet. Still think I'll need a bit of system on my own as well, but this is awesome.

How will these new aff messages work with Nekotai Shocree? Will shocree still immediately hide the aff message?

I highly doubt I have seen all the ones that are already implemented. I was hoping that other people would contribute the ones they have seen.

If an affliction is given as a hidden or random effect, these messages should not appear. If they do, submit it as a bug report.

A bunch of new afflictions have been added to these messages. Please keep comments coming!

Any comments? Any afflictions that have not been added that players have caught?

Not sure if it counts or not, but the obesefessors don't seem to give any affmessages. An example:

A robed obesefessor opens his book and a column of red fire shoots out and engulfs you.
Your flesh is charred, and you receive first degree burns.

Which, I believe, gives both ablaze and burns. I also can't remember any of the things in Astral giving affmessages, but I haven't really paid much attention to it (I love FirstAid too much, heh).

For most afflictions this gives you, you see nothing, which I assume is correct. But if it gives you paralysis you see "You are afflicted with paralysis." Should that be hidden too?

Conversely, it appears that this always gives paralysis:So should you see "You are afflicted with paralysis."?

If one person can supply the aff lines, I'd make a mudlet packet that puts them all into folders and (blank) triggers. I'd put the cure lines in too if provided

Are entanglements included in this system?

I'd love it if you did. I had just decided to go ahead and try to compile the list myself and do just that. And I probably will, if you don't get to it first... but I know my time is limited.

I'll probably do it for the ones we have so far... it would be nice to have everything together though. It won't take too long to make a package that is just full of blank triggers and it would be so useful

We could also work on it together, using google code (or docs) or just email, if you're interested.

And that goes for everyone who might want to help! Note I'm not wanting to make a curing system here, just get all the basic aff messages, cure messages and diag messages set up in a mudlet package.

Depending on what my night ends up looking like, I may get started on this. I'm ok with whatever format you wanna use, as apart from collecting them I am going to use them in a curing system. heh

Well I'd use it in a system eventually too... but it could be set up for everybody (yay).

oh.. yeah, I'd release a blank slate pkg. makes sense =)

You could get all the lines by getting afflicted with things and checking what they're called in FIRSTAID.

Here's what I've found so far:

You are afflicted with amputatedleftleg.
You are afflicted with disemboweled.
You are afflicted with collapsedlung.
You are afflicted with lefttendon.
You are afflicted with piercedleftleg.
You are afflicted with entangled.
You are afflicted with hallucinations.
You are afflicted with fear.
You are afflicted with vestiphobia.
You are afflicted with paranoia.
You are afflicted with paralysis.
You are afflicted with stupidity.

without a left eye.
(eyepeckleft - cured by apply regeneration to head)
without a right eye.
(eyepeckright - cured by apply regeneration to head)
bound and tied.
(roped - cured by writhe)
covered in sticky mud.
(mud - cured by cleanse)
addicted to elixirs.
(addiction - cured by eat galingale and focus mind)
of a deadened mind.
(deadened - cured by eat kombu)

Aren't the messages in FirstAid identical to the ones in Diag? If so, have a gander at the Lore

Wow, thanks guys... I am such a Lusternia noob, lol.

I will have to go over that list and also consider whether I want to make the skeleton thing a function or just make a trigger for all the messages. A concern there would be, what if someone illusions "You are afflicted with SYSTEMCRASHER.", would that make certain systems break? Cause if so then it wouldn't be as useful as a general thing...

He means the specific names the game refers to the afflictions by, which both Config Affmessages and FirstAid show you.

Hmmm so wait... Mudlet is case sensitive. Are these things supposed to be in caps or not? O_o
