My favorite is the /noeval switch. E.g.: say/noeval, pose/noeval and of course for helping people from afar, page/noeval

Ssssssooooooo, the premise is that you've been kidnapped and have to wander a maze and fight people?

And, finally, applications will open up this Friday for players to get a head start on getting approved!
Tell us a little about this approval system. This means many things on many games to many people.
Possibly-probably, but I consider Atom to be in heavy development, the same way that it took some browsers forever and a day to become realistically fast or light. Atom doesn't hide much (any?) of its core functionality, but I'd have to get some deeper coding to make it work the way I want and there is a limit to my frustration-to-laziness ratio.
I'm not an Emacs/VIM person, mostly because I don't want to learn an entirely new UI. Yes, I can happily keep my current editor, but I like being able to share my style to those who are looking for help into how to code better, faster, cleaner.
(Did I mention? Spaces after commas! Spaces after semi-colons! If you do nothing else, do this, aaaaagh!)
@Ashen-Shugar and @WTFE: I would prefer Sublime/Atom as it has better project control and the plug-in support is more modern.

- Please do not snap your fingers, whistle and point in front of you like I am a dog. Thank you.
Smile and nod, nod and smile, and do not move one inch. A cup of the ear, a confused shrug and raise of the eyebrow, a polite, "Did you need something?", most of the time leads the person over to you. For those that don't, take your time. Nobody could need paper towels that quickly.
I swear, I almost cuffed a friend of mine who snapped his fingers at a waiter, once. We were seventeen, and it was a T.G.I. Friday's, for fuck's sake.
Privilege isn't a factor of money; it's a factor of conceit.

TextWrangler allows me to select the contents and parens/etc. just like the others, but it also puts in two insertion points: One at each end of the selection so if I use the keyboard to shift-arrow backwards, it expands the selection backwards. All the other programming text editors I've tried put only one insertion point at the end.
I'm having a hard time picturing what you're saying here. What do you mean by "two insertion points"? What happens if you type when text is selected? Do you start typing on both sides of it?
It's a selection, so like most selections it deletes what's selected and you start typing like usual.
Perhaps the technical term is "two selection points"?
Imagine the editor can both bracket-match and select the contents and brackets of the following text: cat( meow, meow, meow )
I would have selected: ( meow, meow, meow )
Now I type "shift + left arrow" three times.
In most text editors, I would end up with the following selected: ( meow, meow, meo
In TextWrangler, I would have: cat( meow, meow, meow )
This is because TextWrangler's behavior is that if you're selecting from a selection, you're not trying to shorten it, but expand it. It does this by having two insertion (selection, whatever) points, one at each end. Depending on the direction you're expanding the selection, it will change the location of the more appropriate point.
This latter behavior is how I code on keyboard, only I select by word, not by character. It was mentioned this way to make a more dramatic and therefore clearer example. On these other editors, typing "cmd + shift + left arrow" once would get me: ( meow, meow,
Horrible. I can't do anything with that selection.
('cmd + left/right arrow' moves one word at a time, '+ shift' engages selection. Not too different from a lot of editors, but not everyone is Mac-friendly so I wanted to add even more description. Possibly too much.)
Why would I ever want to do this?
Because there are times, many many many times, where I have something like:
treat( %0, cat( meow, meow, meow ))
And I want to replace all instances of 'cat( <stuff> )' with 'dog( <different stuff> )'.
The variables I'm calling with may change, so I want to simply select it all at once, cull it, and start typing, in this case: dog( bark, woof, tail-wag ).
Well if I can't select 'cat( ... )' and its entire contents, then this is a tedious, annoying chore. As if dealing with Mushcode isn't tedious enough, I'm going to use the editor and style that makes things go as fast as possible.
Right now I'm talking with @Ashen-Shugar how you and I sometimes butted heads about soft-coding hardcoded commands.
I've softened since then, but then again so have you.
No pun intended.
In this case there's no real reason to nospoof the output. And what you did was change the nospoof outfit. You spoofed the nospoof, which was brilliant.
It looks like it would fail on TinyMUX because of things like this:
[cemit( ~~, {#248/CMD`ATTACK: #$ returned in @switch check when executed by %n( %# ).}, 1 )]
I'm guessing this is from Penn's peculiar channel system.
TinyMUX doesn't have a 'nospoof' @pemit, so @nspemit --> @pemit will have to do.
attrib_set( xx/yy, zz ) --> set( xx, yy:zz )
I don't see anywhere that the user-defined-functions are defined or created.
So far everything else looks fine. table() and haspower( guest ) both come from TinyMUX.
@surreality aggressively agrees with @Thenomain.
@Lithium said in Flights 'n Tights MUX:
@Thenomain That was the point, people were calling it exclusionary, I am just calling it a theme and setting choice. It's not really exclusionary it's just the game setting and theme.
That's fair. Maybe I got lost because you didn't quote what you were responding to, but I'm standing firm that if their theme is "gay (etc.) and not cis", then they really need to say this. It's a pretty critical distinction.
Which they do. Right here:
@Hushicho said in Flights 'n Tights MUX:
Flights 'n Tights is a haven for gay, bisexual, and queer male characters
The lede is buried, but it's there. So the complaints of "I can't play a straight guy" are rendered moot.
Yes, I know this was your point, but you don't always make points very clearly.
I assure you I'm not so advanced a coder that I know what "code-folding" is, but I'll be looking it up shortly. I use cmd-shift-backarrow on the Mac, which is to say "select one word to the left". I know for a fact that TextWrangler uses dual insertion points for this because they say so in their documentation. Since I go coo-coo for spaces<*>, I'm assured that this will be the function name.
<*> Spaces after commas and semi-colons, everyone. Spaces after commas and semi-colons!!! Do you want us all to go blind or something? Put! Spaces! Everywhere!
Rar!
edit: Now that I looked this up, yes, TextWrangler can do code folding, but that's not what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about:
case( 1,
strmatch( x, y ), do something,
default condition
)
I want to cut strmatch( x, y )
out and replace it with u( f.match.things, x, y )
. In TextWrangler, I get inside the parens, type cmd-b
('balance and select') then shift-cmd-backarrow
('select previous word') then delete
. Then I start typing. Done. Easy. Done.
The only text editor I can use is TextWrangler/BBEdit from Bare Bones Software. It's Mac-only, more's the pity, but it does one thing that Sublime Text/Atom/et al. do not, and while it's difficult to explain why I can't live without it, @Chime assures me that I probably will not see it anywhere else.
In selecting a function to cut out of the code, I must, must have the ability to strip the contents, parenthesis, and the function name itself. It's no good at all for me to select just the contents of a function, or even the contents and the parens/brackets/etc.
TextWrangler allows me to select the contents and parens/etc. just like the others, but it also puts in two insertion points: One at each end of the selection so if I use the keyboard to shift-arrow backwards, it expands the selection backwards. All the other programming text editors I've tried put only one insertion point at the end.
Not having this feature drives me so goddamn batty. I would love to use Sublime Atom, but I'm told that this behavior is not accepted text-editor behavior, so no can do. Thanks a freakin' lot, guys.
Is that exclusionary? Or is it reasonable theme-enforcement and defending the game so that it can continue to be a game?
I'm not picking on you here, unless you fall into this group, but I'm getting really sick and tired of people in the world who either purposefully find an alarmist term or take an otherwise reasonable term as alarmist when what we really mean is, for example in this case, "this shit won't fly". I don't think anyone should or needs to apologize for being reasonable.
Sorry, rant moment. I'm done.
I think the downvotes to the original poster (@Hushicho) come from the idea that it's said to be a perfectly open-minded game about sexuality, but the "traditional" gender normative ("cis") tropes are either secretly or openly shunned.
If this is is the case (IF), then yeah, shame on them.
This is their decision, but like all games, they should be open about the spirit of the game.
@WTFE said in Flights 'n Tights MUX:
And women, @silentsophia. I rarely feel embarrassed for my gender. Comic book shops have always made me consider just getting a straight razor and cutting off the offending bits as an apology for the contents of the shop.
You could just, you know, boycott the shop and its contents. I, myself, am optimistic about using those bits again sometime.
@Grindle
A++, would upvote again. Thanks for tracking this down.
Minor warning to other softcoders: This is PennMUSH code, and I haven't gone through to see what might be incompatible with TinyMUX (possibly) or Rhost (unlikely). Always validate code for your game before installing.
Code +finger. Code +who. Almost everything Ashen talks about will be addressed in these two commands.
I will help almost anyone who has troubleshooting questions about the four Mushes (Tiny, Mux, Penn, Rhost), but I don't have the kind of office time to be as available as I'd like.
Oh, I just noticed you said oWoD. Sorry, I was in line at Origins Game Fair going, "Man, I'm glad they had pre-registrations so things would go much faster, else this would be absolute ass." So I missed the 'o' on my phone.
No, I don't have an oWoD sheet system. The roller is easily tweaked, the sheet system can probably be easily tweaked, but it's not set up that way.
Sorry. I don't have a Monolith Phone 6" Monstrosity to read on.
It's all about the approach and the players. But like I said, worth another thread to discuss.
So here I am at origins game fair and there's an hour wait just to pick up tickets I already bought online .
New system for sign in, higher requirements for volunteers meaning fewer volunteers.
It's not anger, but it's at least eye-rolling. First nerd problems and a light reprieve from real world assholes.
