TorilMUD Forums

My connection was finally fixed late last night, so over the next week I should be able to get this taken care of.

Yeah, well, I'd be working on it right now if I weren't having a problem with my isp blocking the use of ssh. That means I can't connect to the server to upload, download, or edit files. There is a ton of stuff I've been unable to do because of this. We've got someone trying to finish up an area on ...

The original plan was to have zones put in where those dead ends are, but that fell through. We're going to remove some or most of the dead ends until other zones can be put. No time frame on this currently, but it is on the list.

Rather then making a section on our bbs, there was a google group made and a bunch of information posted to it about one of the larger projects (other then 2.0) going on. Other then the initial information posted there, nothing has been added mainly due to nothing needing updated and no other projec...

The Eastway will be getting used "soon". Easthaven is about 99% done and is undergoing testing and proc work atm.

I asked about bringing back the GN troll invasions with different end rewards (was part of a spell quest) back when all the eq un/balancing was being done, but for some reason or another (I can't remember, its been too long ago) it wasn't approved.

From what I've gathered reading this, not all weapons will be able to receive enchants. It will likely depend on some kind of keyword or quality number or something given to the item that sets it apart from other items.

The eq calculator isn't used nearly as strictly as it was when it was first introduced. It was a good concept, but as everyone can see it can be easily abused. It is now used as more of a guideline and we use the old method (which still isn't prefect) of going with our gut feeling on how hard fights...

03/02/05 [Cyric] Random Areas Changes - Yes we're hard at work on converting and bringing in Homeland zones, but we're not forgetting our old zones at all! About 20 minor changes introduced today with 2 new super-rare items added to venerable older zones. Enjoy. Granted, that says nothing about whi...

And since no one does CC with any kind of consistency, how would you ever know if such an earring didn't already exist?

If you're using the triggers Ambar posted, you replace the @tank variable in them with @grouplist

There is an areas section of the bbs, but I think, and I'm not positive about this, that its lumped in with the other staff forums. I like your thoughts about making it have its own group so it can be accessable to people outside of the staff who are dealing with areas. I'll chat with shev when I ca...

Nothing in your last post was taken personally at all. In fact, I thought it was a well thought out post. If players have reason to suspect that one of the staff members is guilty of leaking information or otherwise failing to try to improve the game, no matter what sphere they are in, then please l...

Yeah, especially when you can't get your liaison to actually meet at the time they set 2 times in a row. Guilty as charged. I suck at making appointments on time. Anymore, I wait till I can be online and have time to do something before asking the writer if they have the time to do anything. OLC wi...

I don't know how many people used OLC on Homeland, but wow was that sweet and painless. OLC obviously has many benifits. It takes a fraction of the time to dig rooms, write descriptions, create items, and everything else associated with zone writing. But the real major benifit is that you wouldn't ...

It is buggy code, but not in the way you think. There is a down exit in that room that something must be triggered to open up. Bug is that things pass through the exit without it first being unblocked. Kinda like the bug that Mertak experienced.

Don't use dyndns to connect. Just use torilmud.org.

I emailed Zugg about this the last time he had the auction for the icons and suggested that he do two auctions. One for the company owned and pay-to-play muds, and one for the smaller privatly owned muds. I never got a reply, so I'm guessing he just blew it off. *shrug*

Groups of mobs have been formed on the grids to aid in clearing things faster.
The beards have been made a little easier to prevent casting.
Finally, the gloves have had something added.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

We're not done yet. Sadly its taken me far to long to get the devices done (darn hard drives kept crashing as I started working on it), but it was the first thing many of the players thought needed fixed with the zone. There are still some other tricks being added to prevent people from 2/3 manning ...

He won't ever do it in zMUD, but since he's actively working on cMUD right now, its a good possibility that he might do it for that.

If you go with an Intel Core 2 CPU, you likely won't need a large/loud CPU heat sink. I've seen reviews where they even unplugged the CPU fan and put the system under a full load for hours on end and it ran stable. For quiet CPU coolers, I've always been fond of products from Zalman, tho I'm sure th...

Hey, wait a minute.
Shev isn't eighty, there is no bubble in sight, and Shar isn't an orca (She's a hottie!).

Congratulations you two!

I've downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. From reading the forums on zuggsoft, it seems way too buggy yet and not all the features I want are there yet.

Gizep must work for Microsoft or something.

The two golems were something the maker had asked to be added, then after the file was moved, said that they weren't needed after all, so the changes stayed in place. The golems have been removed now though and the file set to be moved next time files get moved.
Sorry bout that.

No stats were changed, no eq was added or removed, just the way things load were changed. Calm down. :P

The area writer has worked with me and we've hopefully fixed the problem. Changes should be in soon.

All changes to Tia items must go through Shev and Shar. So afraid I can't comment in anything.

Those items were from the last two stages if I was reading the file right, so adjusting the load rates should get them loading again.

Load rate for Phiraz was set pretty so. Bumped it up a tad. The way Faralee loads was changed. She will load more often, but it can be any time throughout the boot. There were changes to the load rate of muspel invasion a long time ago which likely made the last two stages way too rare. Hopefully th...

Changes are in for these, so hopefully no more 0* teleporting for them.

Oh, I meant just the Object Changes forum since in its current state it is never used.
I'd personally rather see it turned into a useful forum of some sort rather then see it removed.

Actually, this was talked about and I thought it was going to happen, but something else must have come up and it hasn't gotten done yet. What I suggested then on how the object changes forum would be run is: Players would not be allowed to start new threads, but rather any time an object is changed...

All of those dragons will be like that except for the one on prime. Has to do with how they are distributed. Got a possible fix, but will be two-three days before I have time to do it up.

Gormal wrote:Llorin is a female.

That's okay, that goat is male.

Good news: Files are ready to go!
Bad news: Gotta wait for an areas and code file move.

Should be within a few days hopefully. Will be a news entry.

Thanks Sotana. Will start working on this after the jot invasion stuff posted in the other thread.

If anyone has a good zmud map of muspel, it would help greatly in planning where to stick the devices and what areas each covers.

Guess I should ask.. Those proposed changes seem ok to everyone else?
Open to comment n stuff before I actually do them.

Oh, and Gormal.. I didn't mess with the valkyrie so I dunno what happened to it unless it was changed before I started changing things.

When I get those changes done, I'll be sure to get a news entry put in as well as a post probably in this thread.
These changes likely won't happen for a few weeks, but will start working on them right after I finish helping get most of the kinks out of a new zone that is almost ready to go in.

Mkay, so.. How’s this: 1) Remove the frost giants on the upper and the small part of the lower grid and let the fire giants roam the entire upper and lower grid areas. (Leave the three giant patrols?) 2) Remove the area where the giants are fighting each other. 3) Return Glammad back to his former l...

If I have nothing to do but sit and keep a close eye on the screen, I'll go vis for awhile.
However, I'm mostly in other screens working on things or trying to get some play time in so I stay invis to keep from people thinking I'm ignoring them when I don't reply right away.

Umm.. why would someone need to race to see if invasion loaded if it becomes something you can pop at will when you have the time and people set to do it? You won't have to try to quickly form groups or find people to lead it because the group/leader would likely be the ones that loaded the invasion...

Ok, I know this is a rare pop zone, and that's part of the problem. Fully understand that. That is why I asked for suggestions on making it not rare, but based on something that is specific like a certain uptime, or a long quest that pits the fire and frost giants against eachother eventually leadin...

Bleh, you changed your post after I replied to it. Anyway.. I do believe this can be a 4-6 hour zone to finish once people work though what makes things happen. Overall the zone hasn't changed a whole lot from what it used to be, or at least I tried not to change it too much from what it used to be....

Just going to paraphrase what is being done about jot. i might dg a lil fight here not much i can do... so basicly, you changed it, ruined the best zone in the game... and now with everyone thats done the zone recently tellin you how bad the zone is and how unreasonable it is your not going to do a...

Get off yer collective "It's being worked on" and start providing real details. It's not hard to summarize what exactly is being worked on, or to come up with a few details of the work without compromising it. Is it too much to ask that you keep your players in the light on what is coming down the ...

So tired of trying to read through crap that doesn't partain to JOT INVASION, so forgive me if I missed something.. From what I've seen, biggest complaints are with the mob repoping, the supply wagon, and with not being able to plan for the zone.. correct? On mob popping: It can be lessoned and/or s...

You pretty much answered your own question. Invasion was changed to make it hard again and worthy of 15 level 50 players spending thier time to do it. I tried not to destroy what the original invasion was, while still adding difficulty and newer gear that most people would like to get their hands on...
