[The7DeadlyVenomz]

Continued skinning updates/modifications/corrections with the help of Nessalin (Gilvar)

I like what I see thus far. Keep up the good work.

[Gilvar]

Thanks, I'll try

2905 items are craftable. (16% of total database)

What is that?

[Gilvar]

16% of the database (all items) are craftable

[Tamarin]

16% of the database (all items) are craftable

Does that mean you guys are systematically going through all items and coming up with crafting recepies for them?

[Gilvar]

Where possible yes. But that sometimes is a long process.

Like lets say there was something like...

"an onyx bastard sword"

But by its description it was several cords in length... and then lets say the largest item of onyx out there was only like head-sized. Obviously that wouldn't work. So it then requires the larger onyx item to be created. And then a place decided for it to be put into the world, etc.

But to say again, yes things are systematically made crafteable where possible.

[Vositus]

What's a js function?

[Delstro]

Tesdanyali How do you pronounce that?

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

What's a js function?

Java script, used in the scripting of the NPCs, room echoes, and other nifty aftermarket things.

Tesdanyali How do you pronounce that?

I'd suspect it would sound like: Tes - dan - yeah'll - e.

[SailorMars]

Thank you Nessalin for paying for our little slice of internet heaven.

[Gilvar]

Well the Tesdanyali are actually a branch of the Anyali...

so basically however you say Anyali, and then add however you say Tesd before that? Maybe... like 'Tezd-an-yally' at least that's how my mind says it.

[spawnloser]

I pronounce Anyali as, "On-yah-ly," and Tesdanyali as, "Tez-dan-yah-ly."

[Lasakar]

Pronouncing? You are really try to figure out how to pronounce something for a 100 % pure text based MUD?
Damm, and I thought I am armadiccted and have no real live...
Creepy...

[Lazloth]

Try to do it over the telephone with someone who doesn't play.
