Wheel of Time MUD

Ok, I've carved out some more time to work on this. My hope is to wrap up primary development today, and there are only some related effects left. I've saved these for last because they mostly all function on a pulse. I will start with this group, which are designed to be atmospheric and sometimes c...

I always thought it would be neat if MCs hallucinated certain things happening. Like hearing a random mob or even PC name narrate something about combat, seeing someone walk into or out of the room, or seeing items on the floor or in your inventory. That would really mess with you. Funny you should...

...we are going to make everyone appear as shadowspawn and be hit by "dark" as a target. Just curious (as I obviously don't know the nuances of how targeting is coded), but does this mean ONLY "k dark" will make you hit anyone in the room? If so, then presumably if someone were to take an MC into c...

Today I've decided to spend lunch tackling the effect of having max taint. I have plans this evening so won't have any time to work on this, and I've been making very good progress so I want to continue to chip away at it before I get distracted by other things. I log into the game and go visible, a...

So is it going to be a viable strategy to spam channel 'create food' in battle and hope it incinerates someone? Or does weave switching only work for battle weaves and healing type weaves? No, it won't be, for three reasons. The first is in my response to Enoch above: it uses the new weave's cost a...

My question would be what's the sp cost when the weave you were expecting gets replaced? The attempted weave, or the replaced weave? Same question for the timer too. Depending on the weave you'd know pretty quick if it was replaced if the timer of the replacement weave was longer than expected. The...

Unsure if we're allowed to ask questions with regards to how the taint will look before it is out, so feel free to ignore this question. But will the "splash" damage cost extra sps for the MC? Say you're spiking 1.light and the taint triggers 2 additional times to two different targets, will the ov...

Perhaps you wish to play a Damer Flinn type, you say, and will suffer through the taint to bring Healing to the land. Not to worry, you are covered. In this scenario, for highly tainted characters we also roll a chance of replacing the weave they were intending to channel with one that is potentiall...

It's now after dinner and I have an hour or so before bed, so I decide to tinker on one of the easier effects, which is to have seizing saidin sometimes come with some nasty effects from the taint at high taint levels. There are three, and they are all relatively easy to code. It takes ~30 minutes t...

I have coded in some restrictions on following others. This kicks in earlier and makes following more difficult as your paranoia builds up. I just re-used how fear works here as it already exists and the message is very appropriate, only it is on a % chance. At a certain point as the taint progresse...
