Independent Study: Time and Flee Lag

[Taziar]

If using zMUD the #REPEAT command can help track pulses

#REPEAT 240 {#SEND {say %repeatnum}}

that will send 240 say commands, each one increasing in number starting from 1 to 240

Example:

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > You say '1'

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > You say '2'

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > You say '3'

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > You say '4'

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh > You say '5'

Also, have you looked at the correlation with the charge pulses and flee lag? Charge pulse range is 7 min, 12 max. Also a failed flee, exhausted flee, and some other variants count to build flee lag, but if you sit and spam flee it doesn't.

Thats the way I do it

Man I can't imagine having a good enough link to have commands on individual pulses - If I just hold a key down and spam it takes ove a tic to empty a chest! (also I've been told this pisses off imms so have recently refrained.)

One caveat I'll add - I think there is a slight lag added at the half tic

so you might have a 64 second tic - if 0.3 of a second is designated at the half tic, and otherwise you have an even distribution over the mob standard pulses

FYI you can also test for when specific mobs agro (i.e. ragan and officer mobs) - and I have a suspicion the same may hold true for city mobs and sergeants etc.

I have no idea how fade agro to fcs is handled. And kick agros just seem ridiculous.

Hey Taziar - sitting and spamming flee definitely builds fleelag.. but it might build it at one pulse per flee - with rolls designated for other types of flees?

With a high will character I clear 4 flees worth of fleelag per tic. That's literally the limit of what I've been able to calculate without any extensive testing.

You can test this by the "calms" message. There is a direct correlation with the message , amount of flee lag you have, and your will factor. Go in a room with a door, close door and flee as many times as your will factor. This will give you a "calms" message on the next tic. Wait for another tic to clear all of your flee lag then sit down or rest and try the same thing... nothing.

WIL
1-5 WF = 1
6-11 WF = 2
12-15 WF = 3
16-19 WF = 4

When running my horse haggard I flee the number of times of my WF, each failed flee gives the "exhausted" message which does build flee lag, so I get a "calms" message on tic and I know my horse has more moves then
