Neat little things

<sit on bar>

Picked up today on the GDB then saw it used IG. Was very neat.

Can you still not use emote symbols like ~ % ^ ! when you are leaving a room?

ex:

> s (waving to ~amos)

No.

[Heade]

There should be a sticky with RP syntax like this somewhere on the GDB. I know a lot of it is listed in the help files, but when I first started here, I skimmed past the symbols (~%ect) and RPed for a long time, using emotes without knowing how to use those, which is significantly more labor intensive.

I think it would help newbies.

[manonfire]

Direction (and general) looking emotes.

l n (craning his neck, peering past the tarp)

or

look (briefly scanning the room)

[My 2 sids]

standing vs sitting vs resting and the Way 

My 1st PC fainted all the time

Are you sure this echoes?

[Cutthroat]

Definitely does, yep. So does emoting while looking at items, while looking in items, and even while doing 'look tables'. You can do pre- or post-emotes.

[path]

I think it would be cool if other things could make you faint besides overusing the way. Certain poisons, perhaps.

Here is my fancy thing. Sometimes there are things in a room's maindesc which can be looked at, especially in the case of newer locations. Murals and things like that.

Okay, that's not very fancy, so here's another fancy thing. When you're holding something or wearing it on your back, you can put it directly onto a table without getting it into your inventory first. Yes. Isn't that nice?

Finially, a quote from the helpfiles on the command "pour":
If your character is standing in a location which is already arable (capable of supporting plant life), pouring water (and water only) on the ground will assist in the development of more life in that area. This will have the effect of bettering your character's relationship with the Land, and improving the ability of people nearby to recuperate.

You can also pour liquids on light sources. Pouring it out on a lit flame can have varying effects.


Okay, one more thing. When you're climbing and you fail, typing up will give you extra saves, but, I think it taxes your stun extra.

[Dar]

Useful for steal or moving objects from one bag or another. If you need to move 'all' items from one pack into another, but there are too many you can instead use numerals for targetting.

get 1. pack    (note. There should be a space between 1. and the container's name. It will take out whatever's first inside the pack)
Unfortunately, the order gets messed up once the item gets to your inventory, so if you are going to go <put 1. 2.pack> Odds are, at some point you'll stash something equipped, instead of what's in your inventory.

Or even a more funner one.


steal 1. target's pack

Will let you steal the first thing that's inside their pack. Say if you failed peek for example, or dont really care, or dont have time, or you know 'exactly' what is the 'last' thing the target put in their pack.

Actually, anything you're wearing you don't have to put into your inv. You're wearing silt horror helm? Want to put it in a chest to quickly change into your silks?

put helm chest

[You remove a black-visage helm]
You put a black-visage helm into a simple wooden chest.


Or something along those lines. Useful for quick changes.

I never knew this. In all my years! Has it always been like that?

[dustbunny]

Something that I figured out the other day...and by "figured out" I mean someone told me (and is in the help file).

If you don't haggle price in shops, you can get them in your size.

buy <item> <merchant> <race>

Ex:  buy thong Amos half-giant

Half-giant sized thong!

Edit: I'm silly and made it seem like a secret...It really is in the helpfile.

Half-giant sized thong!

This only works on items that the shopkeeper has in unlimited supply, and is in the buy helpfile.

While playing Spice Run, at a spice run table.

>roll dice table
>look dice table to see what the dice ROLLED on the table

Also,

>roll dice mat
>look dice mat on spice run mats

[Dalmeth]

The "exits," command always works.  In low light, it doesn't give any specific information, just which directions you can move, and takes up one point of stamina each time you use it, but it can save your life, given the situation.

[Synthesis]

I think it would be cool if other things could make you faint besides overusing the way. Certain poisons, perhaps.

Grishen:

This poison is typically made from a poisonous berry, which can then be slipped into the unsuspecting victim's food or drink. The effects of this commonly-used poison is that it breaks down the victim's stamina quickly, causing them to become very tired. In extreme cases comas have occurred.

Heramide:

Another of the rare and potent poisons, it shares a common bond with Grishen in that it causes tiredness. However, due to its potency, its victims typically will fall into a coma almost immediately after infliction. Like Peraine, what heramide is made from is not widely known.

[RogueGunslinger]

Holy shit, I can't remember all this cool new stuff. I vote for a sticky.

I keep this open in notepad for when I'm high and can't remember all the fecking symbols.

[tortall]

There's a sticker of that for sale in the Arm shop! It's pretty nifty. I want the bumper sticker that says: If you are seeing this, Armageddon MUD must be down".... Or something like that.

[Dalmeth]

Salvage is a useful little command.  Some of the products can be used to make items without the need for a particular crafting skill.

Did you ever have trouble finding stones for a sling?

[Incognito]

arrange <object> <ldesc>

This is a boon to any clan/tribe with a storage room.

I use this for Armageddon--like notepad, but tabbed. Sooo useful. I keep about three or four files open--one with sdescs and names of people I've met, another with notes on what my character should be doing, maybe a third with a bio entry I'm working on. Anyway, its extremely useful and keeps you from having to have thirty notepad windows open.

Try it!

Smultron is similarly indispensable for Mac users. Allows multiple text files to be opened and has some color coding that can sometimes be useful too. Like jcljules, I keep a few files open at a time.

Wow! I use an old, beat-up MAC occasionally for MUD playing--my only problem up until now was lack of Notepad++. Now it seems thats not a problem anymore. Thanks!
