Poses, Lusternian Style

Written by: Hajamin, the Golden Lord

Addressed to: Everyone


After a bit of coding, we have implemented the requested poses system,
and then some. Here are some of the features of our poses system:

1. Poses come in two types, normal and targeted. If you target someone,
they will no longer appear in the room as normal both of you will appear
in the same line. For example, if Shikari were do to HOLDHANDS VIRAVAIN
all in the room would see "Shikari and Viravain are here, holding
hands." Viravain would not appear otherwise in the room.

2. Poses can completely change how you look in the room, which means a
bit of added flavor to each one.

3. Poses will end if you(or your target) move from the room. If you wish
to end a pose before that, you just need to STAND straight up. Note if a
targeted pose was done, either party may STAND to end it.

4. Poses will only appear if nothing else would normally change your
look, such as sitting or sleeping.

5. Poses CAN target denizens, though they will still appear in the room
as they normally would.

Here are the first few pose enabled emotes. There will be more to come,
but all of the poses that were suggested on the forums are old
hard-coded ones. Converting old emotes is a mind numbing and slow
process, so I will do the last of them later today or tomorrow. A new
forums thread will open up on a few moments so you can all suggest more
poses.
