I'm against the concept of Death GCC or Death OOC on a permanent basis because it does infringe upon the privacy of the players. For fun events like tiamat and multiplay time it's something to laugh about, watching somebody's five characters spank to a duergar raider. But for average, everyday use I...

Not rent out after leaving and then having the game crash. It's the sort of thing we'll look to move somebody out when it happens, because there's no way to get back there in the case of a death.

I've been playing in their first adventure path, the Rise of the Runelords. We're considering adopting the Paizo system to participate in the test, but we haven't yet. I will say though that the adventure is very well done, and Paizo has an excellent track record for quality and accountability. They...

Certainly could, but that involves looping through all the worn equipment with every time somebody checks score. It's feasible, but pretty inelegant and there's bound to be a better approach.

Eilistraee

There's no real easy way to make them visible, each of those effects gets checked when it's relevant. Which of course is why nocharm didn't work against so many things, because proc authors at the time didn't bother to check it.

That said, I'm poking at some ideas to get them displayed.

Eilistraee

This is currently in the works.

The maxload has been changed. If there's more than 1000 in the game, well then there'll be a problem. The load rate has also changed. But with the high maxload, more than one can be obtained in a boot. I'm not going to make the container norent. That does crazy stuff to anything stored inside them. ...

Eilistraee

This can probably be set up, look for it soon

Eilistraee

Nope, but you can still cast it on them. :) In more seriousness, the use of healing magic to harm undead is... that's right, planned for 2.0 when we can incorporate 'types' into spells. Being able to identify spells as doing positive energy, fire, acid, negative energy will allow us to factor in suc...

Eilistraee

You've never been stopped from full healing undead mobs :)

Eilistraee

It is more than just fancy wording, it is the vision I had for the spell. Given that it is, as Kifle says, essentially an area type 'healing magic' sort of spell, classifying it as spec healing seemed the best suited.

Any command but meditate and chargepsp breaks chargepsp

Eilistraee

The logic on liches got bypassed due to a mis-placed bracket. It can be corrected if you hook up with me in game.

Eilistraee

The bow in question is the shimmering holy compound bow of celestial might from Magma.

I just figured to save myself time in typing by renaming it.

Eilistraee

I expect I can do that readily enough Adriorn, good call.

Eilistraee

There is no intention to change the current race or class alignment requirements with this modification.

Eilistraee

There is an eventual plan to do away with much of the alignment restrictions on gear, and leave it limited to certain things that should be aligned in a certain fashion. That goes beyond the scope of what I was hoping to accomplish with this update, however it is intended for the future.

Eilistraee

I'm well aware of that. But times and mindsets change. Perhaps I would have been better to have clarified that neither he nor I seem to be currently inclined towards the 'efhr' phenomenon.

Eilistraee

Alignment restricted items will still adhere to the Good/Neutral/Evil axis of alignment. Ultimately we will be able to have Lawful or Chaotic restricted flags as well, but none of those are present yet. Anti-Paladins are forced to an evil axis, but can freely choose between the three options availab...

The D20 alignment system, and that utilized by the Toril 2.0 system, is due for implementation within a matter of days. My current projected launch date is Tuesday April 22nd. This will result in several changes, both immediate and potential. 1) Alignment will be set. There will be means put into pl...

Eilistraee

The proc causes more damage for evil alignments.

For good alignments, it causes less damage and heals.

It's all built into the proc design.

Eilistraee

Your sig says it all, you're worrying about the elder king loading after all :)

Eilistraee

Help file for this new alignment setup is currently available under 'help alignment_new'

As the help entry states, the descriptions were taken straight from the d20 gaming system.

Eilistraee

I am not ok with "predispositioned" races. Drizzt comes from a "predispositioned" race... I guess the "cookie-cutter" mentality will persist. A shame, really. Part of 2.0 includes a lot more customizability in terms of racial choices. However that will also involve exa...

Eilistraee

My intent is to select what aspects of the 2.0 system can be implemented without needing to overhaul massive aspects of the code. Since part of the difficulty with a large project is trying to isolate those last bits that need polishing off, I'm trying to find what little bits I can and buff them of...

The Toril 2.0 alignment system - Law Neutrality Chaos Good Neutrality Evil is due for implementation within the next week or two. This will result in several changes, both immediate and potential. 1) Alignment will be set. There will be means put into place to allow for shifts along the axis, but th...

Eilistraee

Well the !rent was intended.

The !id got inherited from the original host item I used. I just haven't had time to strip the !id flag off yet.

Eilistraee

You were asked to change the name. That's the end of it.

You protested. Claimed that you weren't going to change the name.

The name is now in decline. You will have it changed, or you will have the character lost.

Switch when not tanking = nofail

Switch when tanking requires a skill check.

I'll look into modifying assist to serve as a switch check however.

Eilistraee

My personal opinion about how rareload bodyparts work... When the part doesn't load, it means that in the process of killing the mob, you rendered the part unrecognizable. Thus you couldn't realistically loot the fingers/head/arms/legs. Its a theory that can have all sorts of holes poked in it, but ...

Eilistraee

I have no plans to remove or modify the !drop flag. This flag still reflects 'cursed' status for some items, and will work to prevent you from dropping a weapon on a disarm. It's important to note that all that got removed was the reflexive 'drop your weapon' code; there are still ways to lose your ...

Lathander had no ability to lock this thread, that thread or any other. That is in the realm of the admin sphere, and is an action that Callarduran took.

Eilistraee

Yeah, I'd fixed it once before to load again but apparently it got overwritten. I'll update asap.

Eilistraee

Never at all.

And it's not anybody's role but the forgers to answer questions about any apparent MIA from them.

Eilistraee

One of the motivating factors behind the bludgeon's bounty was that it has little else to offer to a wielder other than that it does stuff now. But I had overestimated the involvement for the bludgeon originally and will have to make adjustments. For the other quests referenced, part of the determin...

Per the title, we will be permitting unlimited multiplay over the weekend of Friday February 22nd to Sunday February 24th. It will commence at 8pm EST on the Friday, and span until 1am EST on Sunday/Monday. All standard rules and restrictions apply excepting multiplay. Please be responsive to petiti...

Well Grundar, I'm not lathander but I'll respond to at least the top portion regarding the relative merits of the exp zones you mentioned. I compared a couple of hobgoblin kills in Elg'cahl Niar to the orcs found in Comarian mines. Each were level 41, each were warrior flagged similarly. Neither of ...

Eilistraee

I vaguely remember that conversation. Truthfully the vision code is a pain in the butt to work with, but I'll revisit the issue and see if I can sort it out. I do forget things, but I won't promise something I have no intention of following through on. A PM or email reminder doesn't go awry if you'r...

I'm working on the instability as fast as I can. This isn't due to code, it's due to the 600 some odd area files that got moved as part of the typo fix project.

I'll have it ironed out asap, until then I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Eilistraee

My fix for weapons proc'ing on misses was commented out some time ago it seems, I'll poke at it and try to get it working again.

Eilistraee

Yasden summed it up pretty well. Res/revive still works for liches because it was an existing mechanic and we didn't want to hose the zonability of the class. Due to my envisioning of how the spells work, soul walk and life walk will continue to be unable to draw a link between the caster and the un...

I'm stating that it was interpeted at the discretion of the TorilMUD Staff that the action in question was botting. If you or your friend really wish to risk being punished for botting by pushing at these rules, then we'll see how they are interpeted when you or your friend are caught. Be here to pl...

So long as we are quoting only specific sections of help robot, how's this snippet. Note: The spirit of this rule will be enforced. That means if you are doing something that falls within a robot-type category that has not been addressed explicitly by these rules, you can and will be punished. These...

None of the presented options are either an emotion or a sexual orientation.

Disarming a !drop weapon is meant to move the item into inventory. Turns out that the check for removing the weapon was only called if it wasn't no drop, and the messages get parsed before that. So the message was accurate, the logic afterwards was not. Should be fixed and live next copyover/crash, ...

This specimen is what we refer to as a bug. They are sometimes small, sometimes large. On occasion they can be utilized to take advantage of loopholes in the game. Other times they are minor little glitches that cause anything from a moment of annoyance to loss of sleep for months. Typically we pref...

Eilistraee

The disarm issue will take some investigation. I suspect that the disarm flags are a victim of the affect bit hoarding that happened years back, and that the cooldown timer is using the same one used elsewhere. As for the autoloot/wield, that was basic scavenger code. Unfortunate in this instance, b...

Eilistraee

I just got home, I'll have a look.

Eilistraee

It looks like the belt is still set to not load, I'll correct it for the next boot.

Eilistraee

Nothing was changed in the zone file order. Fortune is fickle at best.
