@highfalutin Hi!

So, TinyMUX has two ways to use SQL. One is @query. "We" don't really use that much. the other is the sql() command. To check your SQL connection, use th sql( select 1 ). What response do you get?

Setting up SQL requires you to actually specify that option when you're, uh, building? the thingy. I suck at Linux, sorry. When you run the actual command to install TinyMUX, there's a --sql-inline or something option you append to it. If the above command doesn't work, that's what you need. ChimeMUX checks if you have SQL automatically, but the standard BrazilMUX does not. So... Run the above command. Let me know if it works. If not, I'll dig up the correct command line.

Web-portal is down this morning. Being worked on!

If anyone is in a dire need of their Tuesday morning RP, you can connect to the game via ip: 209.97.149.128 port 3268.

Oh, we're back. That was fast.

@TNP Rumor is people bug the crap out of you after a few months regardless. @tragedyjones just didn't wanna deal with that, I bet.

@Ninjakitten Re: /newpinput, I'll update the how-to above. Thanks!

@highfalutin What is it outputting if you put in just that line?

@roz said in criticism not allowed in ad threads is only enforcing a false positive, prove me wrong:

To my memory, the reason for not locking the initial ad posts was so that people could ask game questions and have them answered. Which is not an endorsement or condemnation, but I think at least one person was like "I don't know why they don't just lock the threads." I believe that was the idea.

We have DMs. If it's a question that relevant to everyone (say, "is there a wiki link?"), you can DM that and then the author can edit to include that. I'm +1 for locked ads.

How long will a character live with the Disabled (Persistant) condition? Because I got a muse that won't shut up.

You could always find a kind, hinged, scrupulous, principled Aidos scientist to maybe inject you with lizard DNA and regrow your limbs?

@highfalutin Can you verify that all the additional objects were made?

		&JOB_GO %#=setr(0,create(Job Global Object <JGO>,10));
		&JOB_VA %#=setr(1,create(Job Database <JD>,10));
		&JOB_VB %#=setr(2,create(Job Tracker,10));
		&JOB_VC %#=setr(3,create(Job Parent Object <JPO>,10));

It should be creating those 4 objects.

@doozer said in Echoes in the Mists - CoD 2e MU:

Mage would be awesome single sphere.

Were you on Fallen World? I'm not saying we did everything right, but it was rough ina single sphere mage game. Even with low level magic (people starter at 3-4 in their arcanum), it was still a lot of "hand wave and the problem is fixed". Then at higher levels it was trying to continually reshape the entire world... while 20 mages do it all at once. It got crazy and hard and

Troll them. Trollt hem as hard as possible.

Hence... fire.

Soooo... what happens next? I mean, if you just continue? I vaguely recall there being all sorts of nonsense "I don't see that here" when I did it last.

@roz said in Echoes in the Mists - Discussion:

@auspice I mean, I think that hopping onto someone's ad thread and being like "but why don't you have the sphere I want!" is also kind of shitting on someone's thing. It boggles me every time it happens on every new WoD game thread.

What Roz said. I don't see "Eugh, but Mage sucks on a MU" as less valid than "Eugh, why didn't you put Mage in your MU".

@SunnyJ Stop saying things like that! Always tell people it's taking longer than expected!

@highfalutin we use the inline, and really it's the only one you need. So, glad it's working!

@Ganymede said in Changeling the Lost and/or Hunter the Vigil games?:

@Kay

Fate's Harvest has Changelings.

Has Changeling and is still active! There's not a huge player base, but Annapurna is still running things.

Very excite that other people are excite! I recommend before anyone go digging to deep into concepts to check the wiki, notably this page: http://fallenworldmux.com/wiki/Manhattan_History

In very brief terms, as I understand it, the mages of Fallen World MUX will find themselves in a really dangerous, messed up Manhattan, where there's been a lot of fighting, and where no one's power is secure. It's definitely not an idyllic town on the New England coast, but instead somewhere dark and dangerous.

(And apologies to @SunnyJ if I got that wrong!

@bobotron @Highfalutin
you should be pasting the file into muxify, probably. Is that what you're doing?

@Pyrephox said:

... you'd need to be able to have multiple "rooms"...

Definitely.

@Wizz said:

I haven't done much else with it beyond the initial few tutorials, but this basically exists in the form of Roll20. All of the features are built into the web app, as far as I understand such things, and you can build a table with multiple "layers" that are kiiiiiind of the equivalent of rooms.

I've used Roll20 and didn't like it. There's just a lot that feels "off" and a lot that's "missing". Not to mention, the feels geared towards voice/video play, with the text components there to help. And, of course, the roller... but I find that to be a little clunky. I know my critique of it is vague, but, eh! Best I can do. Thank you, though!

@Goldfish Honestly, it's not that bad. I never played 2E, but 1E is pretty simple, once you get it.

You start with reach and potency or whatever. You spend reach. You adjust potency (which adds difficulty modifiers). You add bonuses. You cast a spell.

Done!

The real tricky part comes down to figure out what you want your spell to do, and how to accomplish it... Ok, so I want to hit 3 people and none are within range and I want it to last and I want this and I want that... Reach and difficult interact, too. You can spend reach to up the number of targets you can hit, or you can add -2 to your roll to up the number of targets.

So, I guess, in conclusion, it's pretty simple if you don't mind not having the best spells. If you want to really get crazy, and do a lot at once, it gets harder. My tip would be to learn which spells you like and just write out the basic formula (like, maybe physically, on paper, next to your computer) and have it on hand if it ever comes up.

@Bobotron Yeeeeah. We're in TinyMUX here
