Hunger/Thirst

Postby Bipple » Fri Jul 06, 2001 1:30 am

It would be cool if Hunger / Thirst would be added as display toggles so they appear on the status line, similar to AFK.

< 148h/148H 135v/135V> (Hungry)

Why, the incessant "You are hungry" message isn't enough? :P

Did I mention get rid of that annoying message?:P Hell I'd settle for a little H & T on the status line that changes color with degree of hunger/thirst similar to the messages(which I never see in battle spam anyway).

Not a bad idea Bipple...would certainly cut down on spam..

though it would sure screw with everyone's triggers. Image

Okay instead of changing colors put semi hungry (h) or (Hungry) in small letters and very hungry in large (H) or (HUNGRY)... solves the trigger problem for those that use them :P

Why code something trivial like this because 1 person asks? I don't want this shoved down my throat, code it client-side or something.

As a caster the idea is kind of nice. I can't tell you how many times I sat down after a battle to mem, only to find out 5 minutes later that I never did start memming because I was hungry or thirsty. As was initially requested, this would be something that was toggable, so you could continue to see the "You are getting hungry" messages or just have it show up on the command line.

you could always find a place to put it on the score. I.E. under status...

Amen, Lyt..

I cannot count the times I got up to go grab water or what not while praying only to come back and see I didn't pray anything because I was hungry and/or thirsty and wasn't aware of it..

I would also love to see something like this.

Like the others, I hate it when I hit my alias to sit down and pray/mem only go come back several minutes later and find out that I was hungry or thirsty. Something small for the display prompt would be great.

This is a good idea, but perhaps maybe instead of just changing in color (if included on the status bar) it might change textually as well. I don't have triggers that fire based on color =p

Well, I was thinking that it woul dbe a display toggle that would only show up if you were hungry/thirsty...

And if you had the display toggle OFF, you would still get the normal hunger/thirst messages.

Either way, it'd be easy to write triggers for, but the display prompt would be less spammy than the current messages.

Still, thinking about it...certainly not a high priority, but cutting down some spam could be cool, no?

Spam control is always good, but what Lyt said.
Just displaying any hunger/thirst message when one starts memming (or tries to) would help.

Yeah, basically like a big red flashing sign that says: You can't mem! You need food dummy!

Although I'm happy the way it is, the prompt idea would be a nice addition for those that prefer it. I'd use it. As for color, one should not assume that everyone can see the mud's ANSI. Some ppl actually play in monochrome Image

As a caster, it would really piss me off when I wasted my mem time for the first spell b4 getting the hungry/thirsty message. Now, of course, as a ranger, that is like 55 seconds for my top circle *puke* so I think having a message displayed RIGHT when you start memming that says "You can't (memorize/pray) when you're this (hungry/thirsty)!" would be really cool.

My druthers... ideally? Both. If only one? The prompt.

hmm,
what about a new line in score for like a hungry and thirsty status bar, showing how close to being hungry/thirsty you are, sort of like xp bar, but this would count down from not hungry to hungry...

Hunger: >>>>>>> Thirst: >>>

When no more >, time to eat/drink :)
So, if you have to afk or whatever, you could type score...Hey, i better eat/drink before i go afk while I mem or I need to eat before this 20 min fight start
dunno, i just like seeing counters and stuff :)

OK, I just sat down to mem and a minute later I saw the hunger message again... I would love to see this imp'd in the display line:

display hunger
display thirst

< 377h/484H 108v/108V (H)(T)>

in (&+RH&N)(&+RT&N) for terrible and &+m for getting that way

I likes it. Would be a toggle, so if you don't like it, don't use it. No shoving down throats :P I would like it however. This or the message when you sit and try to pray/mem.

Oh, btw. When you sit down to mem, and type mem, you can tell if you start or not, because at the bottom it says "You continue your studies." If yer hungry or thirsty, that won't show up. Run a trigger off of that or something.

Er, maybe I'm missing something, but in the previous version of bards, when virtuoso failure made one thirsty (no matter how recently you'd had a drink), I had an alias for each song whereby I automatically drank before trying to start to sing. Casters haven't set up an alias "foo = drink, eat, rest, & mem"?

Nods Galkar,

I have a status bar thing set up, I'm just thinking it's a value added display toggle...

hehe... value added Image

Anyway, a nice thing to have.

Some snake players like the fact that it takes exactly one ration to fill their hunger. No leftovers to shove back into the bag, no leftovers to litter the floor with.

Takes 1.5 rations and several swigs of holy water to quench this paladins thirst!

Said it afore, say it again. You can live off ale. At any given time, unless I get put to sleep by damn trapped chests, I have blood in my alestream, rather than ale in my bloodstream. Much as it should be. Ale is goooooood, slakes the thirst and satiates the tum.
