It doesn't come out here in England for another week, but I am absolutely dragging my children along to see it. SO ready for this!

@ThatOneDude Hahahaha. I love it, but I'm a sucker for silly memes.

It just felt so awkward. Lady, I'm so mentally ill, they're OFFERING to help me with disability. That's not light grade stuff and I certainly don't think 'just praying' is gonna help someone when suicidal. If someone is suicidal and acting on it, they need to be in a hospital or supervised environment where they can be kept safe.

I would've probably started laughing at the woman and her suggestion, and inadvertently offended her. I once had a lady Jehova's Witness try to talk to me. She asked me what I thought of the Bible. It's such a neutral question, I bet everyone says something nice just out of politeness. Well I was honest. I said "It's a harmful book that has outdated, primitive ideas which actually end up hurting a lot of people. I think everyone should stay away from it." She didn't have much to say in response to that. I gotta say it's tempting to feel like THE SMARTER ONE (a condescending jerk) in such a situation, but it's also very satisfying to just be honest, just say exactly what I think about it. Politely and nicely but clearly.

@Thenomain: And that works beautifully. Thank you.

@Cobaltasaurus - I simply copy pasted in exactly what Theno had put:

@desc here=udefault( placedesc.[places( whichplace, %!, %# )], placedesc.none )

then

&placedesc.none here=%r%tTHIS IS HOW THE ROOM LOOKS WHEN NOT JOINED TO A PLACE..%r
&placedesc.1 here=%r%tTHIS IS HOW THE ROOM LOOKS FROM PLACE 1%r
&placedesc.2 here=%r%tTHIS IS HOW THE ROOM LOOKS FROM PLACE 2%r

Not sure if I was meant to change anything from what Theno put, I understand nothing about code whatsoever

Well something happened overnight between my logging out and logging back in. The room descriptions seen when joined at the places were still there, but the main room default wiped to: placedesc.none.

Tried wiping everything twice and doing it over, but it now just puts the 'placedesc.none' in. No idea why it worked yesterday and not today, nor why it wiped.

@Bobotron - I'm a code virgin. The only thing I'm capable of is copy-pasting the info that Thenomain posted here. Someone else might know though

That is amazingly wonderful, I'll try that out later today.

Thank you.

Edit: Just tried it and it works. Hurrah! Someone should do that tutorial thing that was mentioned earlier because for something so simple to apply, its bloody brilliant.

@Cobaltasaurus that would be great if there is a way that this can be used on TR, though if not I can live with it. Have to really!

Exactly. I have places for a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom off the main living room which you enter into. I didn't want to request 4 rooms as places suit it fine, but the ability to give different descs when in those places would be fabulous. If not, I'll have to settle for what you did and just detail out the place descs that can be looked at.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I can confirm it doesn't work though. Oddly, it does add in the room description for place 0, the room itself, but not for the places.

Sadness.

I'm not certain that that was it, you could hit 'look' and see the room desc like you would normally, only it was changed to a viewpoint from the place you were joined at..

I might have to give up on the idea though - I just thought it was terribly clever and a way of not having to bloat the database by digging extra rooms that weren't strictly need. I can't code to save my life, so I'll probably have to give up on this!

I'm working on a building project on TR. I've been in a build there where when you joined a place, the desc of the room itself changed from the one you would see of it when not at a place. For example, a courtyard that in the description showed that there was a house, garage and stables. The garage and stables were places and when you joined the garage place, you would get a view of the courtyard as seen from the viewpoint of the garage, plus the inside of the garage itself which wouldn't be seen if not standing in that place. There's no tutorial in the building files for TR that I can see, and have googled the hell out of it trying to find information on how to set this.

I'm starting to wonder if I actually had too much to drink one night and just imagined this, so any pointing towards a tutorial for this or information would be hugely appreciated!

Chewing nails in anticipation!

I play a ghoul there. I have a one on one relationship with a Domitor and he currently has no other ghouls. There is also no sexual relationship/TS involved between them.. I think problems arise with ''sharing'' when someone wants to be a ghoul with a one on one relationship, and then feels hurt when the Domitor goes around banging anything else that moves -- as many apparently do. Its all about the sex.
