I think @surreality is right on this one. I don't think it is a coder being sought but a setting/theme writer with making the plots.

RE: Getting Attributes with Roomformat
@faraday The 'args' would be the thing it does?

RE: Getting Attributes with Roomformat
@faraday I was looking up a cron on MUSHCode (I think) and couldn't figure it out. Yours seems to make more sense. One question.. If I wanted to make it run daily to weather would I need a cron time thing for each day? Same with making it change every 4 months.

RE: Getting Attributes with Roomformat
Okay. This is sort of not and sort of related to this. I am trying to make a simple weather system (very simple). At least looks wise. The details are:
Weather/time (extremely simple, I hope)
- It tracks the season by changing it every 3 months (to do 4 times a year). It simply changes an attribute called something like ‘currentseason’. It’ll just do ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter’ So, the automatic change would start at, say, spring, and after 3 months turn over to summer and so on.
- It’ll just give the current weather in a couple words, give or take (IE it’ll say Rainy), pulling from a list related to the season going on. IE: It’s spring so it’d pull from an attribute that is something like: &list.spring <object>=<list of spring weather choices> and so on for each seasons.
- A 12 hour clock. It’d basically just track the IC time. The ability to adjust the time speed would be nice. For example 2 IC days happens every 1 RL day.
How would I go about making it so a cron runs according to the change of season every 4 months and the change of weather every day. Basically how I explained it. Trying to code for my game myself so.. yup. I am ignoring the clock and time ratio. I couldn't find a weather system that is this simple.

RE: Where do you draw the line in having your character take what would otherwise be an "IC" action for them?
I thought about this..
I will, generally, stick to what is 'IC' for my character, except in plots. Plots I go a little 'off sheet' since the point of plots to be involved.
I also adjust slightly if someone tells me OOC that they just don't like RP with my character because it is too much of something, though, they like RPing with me.
Basically? IF it is within reason, I don't mind adjusting.

RE: New/Old mush now hiring staff!
@Lithium That doesn't give an answer of what it was. Just what it is based off.
@Nasgarath I am curious to what Serpent and Unicorn is too.

RE: Getting Attributes with Roomformat
OH! I figured it out. Apparently I missed the attribute.

RE: Getting Attributes with Roomformat
@Mercutio I tried all of those with %#, %!, %0, %L, etc. and it just returns a blank line. SO, it is breaking down in pulling the attribute details.

Getting Attributes with Roomformat
Okay. I'm fiddling with @roomformat (as well as exit and name and conformat) but right now I am having troubles figuring out what I need to use in @roomformat to pull an attribute off the room. I specifically mean the details in the attribute. I tried the things I know and can't find a connecting helpfile that will tell me.

RE: Random Bitching
@Lithium Because you called someone stupid for an uncalled reason. So, yes, I will defend the statement. Someone made an incorrect assumption about something you said doesn't deserve being called 'stupid' after they were 'Oh. I went with what I was given.' I would consider you the 'stupid person' in this case. Then made it out like you were being attacked on some personal level (at least that is my take).
-
RE: Random Bitching
@Lithium I meant I thought the same as @Tinuviel about your statement. That you meant 'only.'
My forgetting punctuation/words is the same idea of your statement. You included no details that you meant 5 or 6 on major game plots over each plot ever run by staff. I even went back to look.
So, it is not an incorrect assumption that you meant all the plots.
-
RE: Random Bitching
@Lithium I don't think I agree that the assumption, from the details given, was an incorrect one. Nor am I on board with 'stupid is as stupid does' in this case. I thought you meant the same as @Tinuviel did.

RE: Random Bitching
Or opting out of games that allow it. The less people on them, the more people go 'Oh. THis is a dumb idea.'

RE: Random Bitching
@Sunny Just don't respond? Unless it is something that needs a response/my bit would respond (even if it's just a 'I'll let X know then.'). That is generally how I handle things like IC @mails and messages. Sometimes people do things because it is IC for their character even if on an OOC level they don't like the player of another.
I've had characters on /excellent/ terms with someone IC but OOC I don't like the player of the char. It is, at least to me, unreasonable to punish a character because of OOC feelings.

RE: POLL: Super Hero MU Gut Check
@Ghost Could also go the angle of making it in a time frame where the original X-Men (not XP) are now the instructors or something. As NPCs (unless you want them as PCs)

RE: POLL: Super Hero MU Gut Check
Are you going to have feature characters? Because I would 100% lean towards Gotham. I am bias in favor of Batman stuff.
I ask because I tend to prefer 'comic features' should be more NPC (THey have some pretty solid details about them done and they've done everything) and jump in to save the day if the original bits are going to a point where 'they all die' or some other way that they don't seem to be pulling out of.
