Scripting

[Ihavenofeet]

Hey makz, how hard would it be to script in some of those "wishlist" feats and items from PnP D&D? just wondering if it were possible...

[Makzimia]

I am not quite sure what you are alluding to, but I regurally scan for things to add in the server that will add something unique without it being a: a problem or b: laggy. Example, yesterday while I was waiting for the total compile to complete I *MAY* have finally found a trigger set of enter exit scripts for CEP traps that allow a reset on use *VERY* useful in a PW, and up until now, I have not seen a way to make traps reset... it depends of course on whether that then uses any kind of nasty heartbeats. I am not the resident scripter, I do some of course for the quests I make, that is Nat or Salandra's field... however, nothing in that respect is happening currently due to maintanence mode in place, and waiting for Nat to get his new PC ( computer ) built, so he can actually see the CEP stuff , and not have to wait for his wife to vacate the windows PC. Feats and items, no to adding feats, fiddling with 2da's when we have CEP in is not a favoured thing I want to do. Items, we have plenty of, and I am big on new things that are fun, but time and need rule my dev time.

Makz.

I was really sad to see a lot of the craftable immunity items go, in particular immunity to critical hits and immunity to sneak attacks

I have yet to see what the cloaks for replacing those items are because tailoring takes a long time (Aeradon who will be my RP learning persona is learning slowly) and I am building a hack & slasher to try and take out Damien Swift (Whispering Oak, 27 seasons so far). Plus have enrolled in online college and other RL issues recently popping up so I haven't been playing 10 to 16 hours daily like before, but at least I am now in a better place with RL to do other things, which, while I miss playing long hours, being able to do other things is an improvement compared to dodging chronic pain in the wonderful world of make believe.

Just a quick note on why those items were removed, I think it was for very good reasons. With those items you could literally build invinsible characters. You could easliy build immune to magic characters, throwing all spell casters into the worthless category. Too many immunities is not a good thing.

First, scripting is tricky and adds have to be beaten and warped anyway possible before oyu can truly declare the stable (*does happy dance but wishes she could get Nat onto her test server to see what she did with hidden doorways*).

Second, I am still moping that I didn't get to toe up with Mackenzie using the immune to crit cloak.

Third, to all of those people that nagged Makzimia about the original Truth helm, feeling like that was a mistake yet?

Finally, there is no such thing as an immunity that actually makes any class useless. There is always a plan that can make it work. Numbers always win, and if it is part of the game, it isn't cheating (stop whining about Time Stop folks!).

Hey, I just came from a server that stripped ALL immunities from the players. (excluding naturals like monks immunities to poison etc.) The server before that nerfed Devastating critical so that its barely above overwhelming critical which was also nerfed and the best hit you could hope for was 100 HP of dmg. That may seem like alot but that server was designed to force group play. If you could get XP for the monster, you couldnt solo it. If you could solo it, you couldnt get XP for it. We are #2 on the list- that server is #17 and the one with no immunities didnt even make the list.

Dont worry.... Be happy.
