Advanced Room Echoes

d00d!

That is all I have to say about that.  This sounds awesome!

[wizturbo]

Awesome upgrades! 

[Marauder Moe]

As my grandfather used to say... cool!

[Kol]

Rad brah!

[Barsook]

\o/, thanks staff!

[deskoft]

That is sick! Great job.

This is a really robust new feature set that is going to add a lot of "artificial intelligence" to the world.  Once the echoes start being written, you might have to think for a bit about whether or not staff is targeting you for an animation, or if the game just magickally knows the moon is full and the wind is high.  I'm really excited to start putting this to use.

I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but just to give you an idea of the amount of work and detail Nathvaan put into this job, the javascript program we use to make echos happen in various rooms around the game when we aren't there went from around 80 lines of code to over 600.

Absolutely awesome. Thank you.

I appreciate anything that adds depth to the game world.

I'm not much of a coder, but I know thats a huge change!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the new echoes, as Valeria said, more depth is awesome.

I have... seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears... in... rain. Time... to die...

Bladerunner, nice.

And this is going to introduce so much paranoia and anxiety in the older players. Bringing them back to their early days. Well done, indeed.
