Title: Glow Crystals
Post by: Bebop on January 18, 2023, 03:37:07 PM
Could we get the occasional echo that these are lit instead of not getting an echo until the crystal is almost spent.  I have gone through so many of these because of this.

This could get real spammy real quick. Wonder if it can be keyed to only show to the wearer.

Perhaps it could be extended to all light sources worn/equipped.

Perhaps it could be toggled on/off with a nosafe flag.


nosave echo light

Is this a thing that could be put in prompt somehow? Like an equipped item that's lit?

Like: glowing somewhere in prompt?

Because this could be handy for other glowy items as well that are worn but that you might not be noticing and might not be wanting to be spending. Or is there a way to just make it so that they aren't auto on when you log in if they're worn and are glow items?

I can't help but giggle at the idea of:

"A leather-strapped glow-crystal worn on your ankle is still light"

every 3 seconds.

I dig this, great idea. If you are worried it is messing up your sneak....it shouldn't be possible to sneak or hide wearing or holding a lit light source in the first place.

Only if we keep the typo too.

I think this would be nice. My newbie torch dies immediately because I forgot I'm holding it.
