MUX side, Requires wizard/#1 access to @hook, and is an ugly work around, but:

1. @hook/igswitch @decompile 2. @create HookDecompile 3. @set HookDecompile=inh safe 4. &CMD_DEC HookDecompile=$@decompile/* */*:@break [not(match(%0,tf))]=@pemit %#=Unrecognized switch '%0' for command '@decompile'.;@pemit %#=TinyFugue > &%2 [setr(0,locate(%1,%#,*))]=[get(%1/%2)]

As for Potatoe, not used enough to hack, sorry.

Actually, my problem was a typo when I relayed what needed to be set to the person with #1 access. I don't have access to the .conf; we're using #1's @startup instead.

Thanks though

The City's politics are sorta complicated. The most powerful faction, the High Court, solidly controls half the City and has fingers in others. They have a near-monopoly on alcohol, largely because they have the only large-scale starfruit garden outside of the Starfruit Gardens that feed most of the city. Almost no one else can compete at scale. Those that try, well. The High Guard enforce the canons, and the Veils of the High Court define the canons. The High Court is concerned with order.

Territoriality, the Dragon Cadre (they aren't dragons; just horse-size lizards that can be ridden) is the second most powerful. Divided into castes and bands, they follow the First who is selected from their number annually. The Dragon Bands hire themselves out as guards, warriors, hunters, and fulfill contracts faithfully. They are concerned with honor.

The last, the Taken King, is the head of a slave army and has one enclave of a quarter of the city headily fortified, the rest... its all a protection racket (not that any other quarter isn't slightly). He's all bout freedom/chaos/anarchy. He's also largely the personally richest person in the City, because hey, he's got a lot of slaves (the Taken Army). He also has the single largest source of meat imports in the City, since on his raids into the Stone Eater territory, he brings back many kinds of spoils. He's concerned entirely with power.

Those are the three big political organizations. There's more affiliations and not everyone (in fact, not most) would identify with any of the big three strongly.

The Guilds are a secondary path to power and justice...

I was Damn-Yankee, and I had a Storyteller on the Unchosen side. I got recruited by Nialus and Khelkhet, off H&V.

@autumn said in Demon: the Descent:

This version of Demon sounds a lot like Mage, tbh. Or rather: if Mage were played as if the Seers were an overpowering threat, and not drawing their attention is extremely important to your continued existence.

That's an interesting analogy and one that makes me dislike Demon a little less.

Another thought,l one geared towards the 'automated' side of the discussion...

A Waterdeep/Undermountain game. Undermountain gives you 20+ levels of dungeon hack & slash, along with an in-lore reason for rooms to 'respawn' (Halaster's portals and summonings). So, set the dungeon rooms to randomly generate appropriate encounters & treasure for the dungeon level, then respawn after a certain amount of time has passed since a group cleared the room.

Similarly, IIRC, there's plenty of random encounter tables from the various Waterdeep supplements & boxed sets for 'above ground' action. And you can also program random encounters in buildings for players that want to do exploring & thieving by night, with respawns of encounters & treasures like with the dungeon rooms. Plenty of material also for Staff to create and run their own events.

To me the code base issue is not really a culture one but a cost one for me as an end user.
For me the main draw is the RP and the various bells and whistles don't matter, once a game can handle +roll <stat> and show me the result I am good with the code support. So games that I have to learn a different command structure for induce a cost (the time spent learning) with no corresponding benefit since they do not add to the main draw.
Back in the dark ages I learned the commands to play on MUSHes and at this point that is what I stick with. This is not to say anything against other code platforms but I am not going to bother to learn a new structure until there are not viable options with the old one. I am the same way with video games as well. I will be loyal to the playstation line for as long as it exists because that the the controller I know and use without thought where hand me a x-box controller and say his the A button or whatever a button on it might be called and I look at the thing confused trying to find the correct button.

@tinuviel Loot boxes. When building specific decks, kegs are largely just scrap factories and you craft the cards you want. There's no cards in the game you can't make through crafting via scraps. You don't have to wait for a random drop to get a card.

@Admiral Well, sure, and you don't have to volunteer PC-identifying information, it's just that "we're banning you because you didn't overreact enough" is a new one. 🙂 And I thought we had seen it all around here.

In honor of Ix's coding prowess, and because I was asked, here is the TinyMUX version of the Logger, formatted for Muxify.

Skol.

Format to your liking -- BEGIN -- The +log system is used for logging of scenes in such a way that it minimizes the amount of stuff you have to clean before posting, not to mention making sure you post the log in the correct format. The scene revolves around Scene Loggers, which are plain objects that you own and re-use from one scene to the next. You never really need to have more then one. To create a <logger>, type: @create <logger> and then drop it. You can make this a scene <logger> then by typing: +log/make <logger>. Once you drop the <logger>, the following commands are available: +log/on <logger> - activate logging +log/off <logger> - deactivate logging +log/ooc <logger> - toggle if OOC communication is logged. Default: off. +log/show <logger>=X - show the current log or X lines of it. ( =X is optional. ). +log/wipe <logger> - clear the current log. +log/undo <logger> - remove the last entry in the log. Useful to repose a correction. +log/pose <logger>=<pose> - add a pose directly to the logger Before posting, you can store the scene information with: +log/summary <logger>=description - set summary of current scene +log/cast <logger>=person1 person2 .. personN - set participants in log +log/location/name <logger>=name - name of place where log takes place. 'here' gets current room name. +log/location/desc <logger>=text - description of place where log takes place. 'here' takes current room desc. +log/capture <logger> - cast, location/name and location/desc all in one handy command When you're ready to post your log, +log/wiki <logger> will show you the current log and wiki formatting. When done, just 'get' your <logger> and take it with you. If you see someone's <logger> laying around, +log/return <logger> will return it to their inventory. If you've lost your logger, +log/reclaim will teleport ALL of your loggers to your inventory whether they're in use or not. -- END -- */

@Tempest Wut? I didn't delete anything.

You need to keep a running list, like all those people who keep a list of the people they've had sex with.

Every mortal/+ only game I've ever seen was on Java, and was always post-apocalypse. What caused the end and what people did changed with a few, but it was always the same in the end.
