Random Tiny CODE Wants

[X-D]

Maybe I should have been clearer, Without having to type hunt, you would still need to own the skill.

[Synthesis]

I could agree with it if it were something like...you can only see the blood tracks of people you were recently involved in combat with, and you lose the bonus as soon as their noquit timer expires.  This would give you a chance to quickly track people who were within sword reach of you just a few moments ago, but now have inexplicably teleported several leagues away.  In fact, if the bonus were set up this way, I'd be much more amenable to everyone getting it.

I wouldn't want people with the hunt skill to be able to pick up blood trails indiscriminately, without having to actually stop and look.  I mean, the hunt skill is already pretty damn powerful.

I'd still like the character's ldesc (is standing here, is sitting at, is fighting...) added to assess character

[Chettaman]

when you are unconscious... I kind of don't want to know what sex you are.

"someone grins to someone before dropping to his knees before someone."

"someone grins to someone before dropping to his knees before someone."

I'm pretty sure this is because the emoter is literally typing "his" in the emote, instead of ^me.

Yeah, I for one always type it out without the symbols. Aids my separation from the character and the flow of my emotes.

[perfecto]

As do I..

The me my his her him hers their short of it is....

This works perfectly fine if no-one else is in the room.     (for sure)

If ever in doubt I would use the coded !@#$%^&

If you can remember what they all stand for.

It wouldn't make a difference if he'd typed '^me'.  I'm pretty sure that being invisible (or observer unconscious, etc) doesn't mask gender in coded pronouns.

[KankWhisperer]

I hate how some shelves you have to type look IN shelves.
Then you look in the next set of shelves and you get back That is not a container.
It just makes me angry. I wish they were all one way or the other for this and other furniture types .

[Marshmellow]

I wish shelves were consistent, but tables and desks and beds and rugs?  I'm fine with looking at them and seeing what's on them.  You should have to look in things like chests, though.

Enough said.

[Potaje]

To be able to watch a direction while sitting (I am sure this has probably been a want of others as well).

ZOMG, YES PLEASE.

[BleakOne]

Yes, I'd like to be able to watch in directions when sitting to.

The vast majority of the salt flats really ought to be flagged no-hide...except maybe at night or something.  Sneak, even, is debatable.

I had a half-elf a few years ago that invested in a white suit of armor, cloak and miscellaneous equipment for the sole purpose of lying prone and crawling through the salt flats (coded sneak/hiding through it, with emoting). I think a much better solution would be applying penalties and bonuses to people that aren't/are properly equipped, if such penalties and bonuses don't already exist, to the Salt Flats and other places.

Yeah, I seriously doubt the staff are going to waste their time going through every wearable item in the game to check if a "bonus-to-hide-on-salt-flats" flag needs to be added.  Much simpler to no-hide flag the salt flats, and then have someone add a little script that removes the flag at night.  Since, really...low-crawling across the salt flats?  Really? I'm not buying it.

[BleakOne]

Only thing I'd be worried about is if they can't sneak and hide, maybe they'd think shooting is the only option.

NPCs, too?

Humanoid NPCs hiding on the salt flats is just as dumb as PCs doing it.

As for the other things...do they really need to be hiding?  It's not like anyone who's hunting them ever fails to bring a ranger along, anyway.  The fact that they're coded as hiding is a little silly, anyway.  A better workaround would be something akin to how gurth pull into their shells, with "inside shell" as the default state.

[RogueGunslinger]

I could actually easily imagine a camo suit that would blend in on the salt flats, but only at a couple rooms distance.

[KankWhisperer]

It depends on how flat they really are. If you have just a few feet of rise that is enough to hide in easily.

[RogueGunslinger]

Well yeah, being out of sight is pretty good camo too....

[Scarecrow]

Crawling and being hidden is possible, not easy but possible. I saw something about U.S. Army Ranger Snipers, in urban camo, who could crawl along beside a city curb and remain unseen. It was freaky, but impressive.
BUT.
If the Salt Flats are entirely flat, like, smooth glass table not a single bump flat, the best you could realistically hope for was hiding laying down if you wearing lots of white. But I agree with Synthesis, I doubt the collosal catalog of wearables are going to be flagged/not flagged for Salty Helpfulness or Not.

[LauraMars]

You could dig? The salt worms dig, and that is why they are "hidden" in rooms sometimes...it is supposed to represent being under the ground  And I'm sure the constant glare and heat haze is very distracting.
