Strip Command

[My 2 sids]

I think it'd be nice to have one command to allow a character to remove everything a character is wearing.   Go ahead, make your mudsex cat calls... :roll:

Really though, this would be good for those who need to change garb quickly or guard types who may not normally change clothing _because_ it takes so long to do it OOCly.

[brytta.leofa]

Not sure about the "strip" command, but we need *something* to make changing clothes more viable.  It's particularly a pain for warriorly-types who need to wear a dozen pieces of armor to work every day, but, realistically, might want something a bit more comfortable for socializing in.

I'd love to see someone (hehe) hold up the Gaj with a crossbow and terrorize all the off-duty buff warriors who are lounging around in sandcloth.

Absolutely.

Perfect!   Thanks to you both for helping explain!!

If this is coded, we can even go Beowulf on naked critters!

[staggerlee]

Maybe you could have it echo to the room differently for brief or long syntax.

Long you'd get all the spam as demonstrated in the previous post but with brief mode on you'd get something like :

Brief:

Code Select Expand



>strip in bag

"the tall, bronze-skinned man strips out of his clothes, placing them into a bag"

>dress from bag

"the tall, bronze-skinned man dresses from a bag"

You could then flesh it out with emotes:

>strip in bag (quickly shrugging out of his robe)

"Quickly shrugging out of his robe the tall bronze skinned man strips out of his clothes, placing hem into a bag"

Is there a problem with just using aliases to do this? I mean, that's what I do.

Code Select Expand

removearmor
get bag stand
put cloak bag
put shield bag
put sword bag
put bracer bag
put cuirass bag

weararmor
get bag stand
get cloak bag
wear cloak
get shield bag
wear shield
get sword bag
wield sword
sheath sword back
get bracer bag
wear bracer
get cuirass bag
wear cuirass

Sure, it's spammy, but if you have one set of armor gear that you wear all the time, it works like a charm.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

No, that's not a problem. But we're trying to kill spam.

Support our clothing movement.

This would actually encourage people to wear other clothes. I despise dressing and undressing from outfit to outfit just because of the sheer number of commands and the spam that ensues.

The rem command is great for undressing sometimes, like, during sexual sessions, or some other event where the remove command with its emotes enlivens the scene.

But to change out of sparring gear and into simple clothes for the tavern? Nah, man, nah.

Gove me strip and dress.

off-duty buff warriors who are lounging around in sandcloth

Oh, it's for characters who get time off. Nevermind, then

Though in principle, I agree it'd be nice to do this in a less spammy way.

[Cale_Knight]

Many items can be worn in multiple locations. As those of us who have made use of the "wear all" command know, trusting anything automated will end up with things going in places you don't intend to wear them.

That's the only real problem I see with this idea. I personally don't mind the momentary spam from an alias.

[Troicha]

There are other problems with this idea along the same lines; for example, what if you have more than one set of clothing in the bag from which you dress?

Perhaps a command wherein beforehand you can set up an outfit, using keywords. It might look like this (things in braces may/may not be included):

Code Select Expand

make outfit work
hair: (enter a carriage return. Everywhere else this is done will be blank)
head: gith-skull helm
neck: obsidian collar
throat:
right shoulder:
left shoulder:
arms: mekillot-hide armguards
right wrist: grey chitin razor
left wrist: grey chitin razor
hands: fingerless sandcloth gloves
fingers (add all, separated by commas): angular temboeye ring, polished yellow sandstone ring, obsidian band
torso: bone breastplate
body: silt-colored greatcloak
belt: gold-stitched waterbelt
{worn on belt: forked chitin knife}
{worn on belt: leather waterskin}
waist: duskhorn breechguard
legs: dahrad pants
right ankle:
left ankle:
feet: armored silt-scale calf-high galoshes

using as many or few keywords as you like. Then:

Code Select Expand

outfit work bag
First, you take off everything.
You put on a gith skull helm.
You put on an obsidian collar.
You put on a pair of mekillot-hide armguards.
(and so on)
A polished yellow sandstone ring is not in your crude, filthy hide bag.
A duskhorn breechguard is not in your crude, filthy hide bag.

I don't think it is a big problem which we wear where when we use a dress command.

I am fine with the code randomly stuffing everything everywhere, and if I don't like it, I can change itin a minute.  Hack and slash muds have "wear all" command, and it just dresses you with your inventory the way it wants.  If you do not like it, you may change it afterwards.

Hack and slash muds have "wear all" command, and it just dresses you with your inventory the way it wants. 

So does Armageddon.

[Jakahri]

What about if we had a way to put clothes into specific "outfits"?

Let's say for instance we all had the ability to put together three specific outfits of clothes we own. If we want to put on desert garb we'd do something like:

>add turban outfit1

You add a deset-colored turban to your first outfit

Then, later one, when we wanna switch out real fast, we get the entire outfit in our inventory, then simply type:

>change outfit1

You quickly strip down and replace your garb with a different outfit.

Should be relatively painless to code, though having the ability to save three separate outfits might eat memory...I dunno, it's a hassle, but one I don't mind too too much. 

[Vettrock]

The wear all is there, but the remove all is not.

[BlackMagic0]

I made a stripe command.. I call it my "STRIP ME MACRO!"
Seriously I did. I got sick of typing, "remove remove remove", and just put it all bound onto F7 or which ever for easy armor removal.

A strip, and outfit changes would be acutally very useful to the solider types. Typing remove etc for 20 items, is -not- fun!

[Vettrock]

There is a wear all, but not a remove all, which is what the strip command seems to be.

[rishenko]

I would rather have a modification to the remove command that allows me to take off whatever is in a specific wear location.  That way, if I wish to keep on certain trinkets and remove everything else, I can do so through an alias.  No more keyword fuckups, or taking off the wrong bracelet.

Code Select Expand

>remove head
You take off your braxat cap.

>remove body
You take off the chitin banded cuirass.

>remove left wrist
You take off the intricately carved bone bracelet to reveal a set of jagged, long scars.
