This is apparently being maintained in a limited fashion as well, since it has more recent things too, like Cytheria's system for Exalted mu's.

This came up a lot, too, and was baffling :: <HP:perfect Mv:fresh>(!whererp)

Welcome to the world of muds, where you have a status prompt that prefixes almost every line. I wish I could say it was consistent but it rarely is. But as for baffling, is that a joke? Surely even you know what HP is. MV is Movement points. Lots of Muds use that to limit movement around the grid and stop you from speedwalking. WhereRP is likely a system for notifying people you want RP, like one of our wants RP flag systems on +who or +where.

Some of the problems with ajobs:

• It is really hard to customize unless you have some mu* coding experience. Your typical admin isn't going to be able to go in and change the permissions / mail defaults / etc for buckets for example. So if they want to set up a bucket of jobs that is public/visible to everyone in a sphere/group/etc so people can communicate through +job then someone is going to have to tell them how to lock a bucket to a specific sphere or players with a certain attribute, etc. Or they will need a coder on game to do it for them.

I would say that being a coder or knowing mushcode does not make you able to modify ajobs. Ajobs is a beast of a thing that doesn't like to be messed with. Even if you do know mushcode and are a veteran coder to boot, Ajobs will chew you up and spit you out. That's how annoying it is. Really, the only people that know Ajobs are those poor souls who for whatever reason bring that soul crushing hell upon themselves willingly and work through the code.

RE: Web: I would think that the majority of players would rather not leave the game to put in tasks. On the other hand, our surveys have been popular, so maybe there's room for it. And wiki's are kind of standard now.

I googled up Knights of Sidonia which appears to be a manga that was produced into an anime by Netflix. I'll have to watch it but based on my initial pass it's not a blatant copy. I would be curious to know which similarities you feel are derivative or stolen from the show/story you listed. To my knowledge no one on the team has seen it before.

A ship floating through space meant to repopulate the human race after an extinction event fighting against unknown enemies using high technology where the captain is controlled by a secretive council of humans that decides when they do what. If you take out actually colonizing new worlds it'd be the same.

You'd have to understand, around here i'm known as super blunt. I don't actually care if you copied knights of sidonia. I loved that series. I might even play there just because of that.

Do you want to contribute to Project Redshift's development in some way?

I already am, vis a vis this post. Obviously.

It was an invitation to comment on this pdf document which reads like a blatant copy of Knights of Sidonia:

@Thenomain Wow, did you just get mad at someone for being pedantic? Damn. Groth needs some kind of award.

@Misadventure Just use the autoclicker scripts off reddit and go to town.

@Cynder RFK doesn't do that. You don't log on for 3 days, you still only lose 1 vitae for waking.

@Groth Take it you haven't looked at any of the hooks. Just the first one that comes to mind.

&HOOK_MAI [v(JOB_VC)]=@set %0/[last(sortby(%va/SORTBY_COMMENTS,lattr(%0/COMMENT_*)))]=no_inherit```

@Thenomain It isn't passed because [after(last(lattr(job object/COMMENT_*)),_)] is trivial. Or at least, that's what I imagine the developers of AJobs thought.

You're right though, it'd be nice to help people make things safer. Replacing mushcode entirely would be a better direction, I think.

There's evennia if you'd like to take that dive.

In the context of arbitrary users writing code, making it a language that interfaces with the host platform scares the hell out of me. Lua would scare me a little less given the existing platforms that have managed to isolate hosted code securely.

I haven't poked at Evennia in any meaningful way. I'd guess they never intended not-administrator users to add python modules.

There was a time I was interested in Evennia. That has passed. Not because it's a bad idea, but because of how it was implemented. They moved to a library based system, so essentially it's nothing more than a specialized socket leaving you to write libraries that interface with more libraries to make anything beyond basic commands. This was a bad design decision I believe. One that makes it largely inaccessible to a novice programmer. Or basically, if you have no idea what I just said, don't use Evennia.

@iceshinagami So, You basically just said that Sphere staff is ridiculous and then proposed that we all still do sphere staff. Right.

I keep hearing about Unisystem, but I find it hard to find the books. Does anyone have a link?

A complete rewrite of the aJobs system would also be useful, but it's not likely to happen soon.

How badly do you want it?

Not that badly.

Heh. On a more serious note, once I'm done converting requiem to the new Character stuff and have some free time, I will look at making a more modern, simplistic jobs system.

Well I was going to make a PC, but then the newbie helper apparently deduced my musoapbox name and started pming me on here. So I know what game I don't intend to make a PC on. Seriously dude, chill the fuck out. I was reading boards. Creepy as hell.

I can neither confirm nor deny that a PM to me asking about PDFs of 7th sea may result in a link to some PDFs stored on google drive. I can also neither confirm nor deny that i'm doing this because I want to play on a 7th sea mush.

Royal bits or anyone else with the see_all power can however get the attributes, which leads to the potential of all sorts of shenanigans even when safer_ufun is turned on.

If your wizards run around giving random bits see_all and your royals run around running random code set on your wizards, i would say you have bigger problems than code security.
