Title: change ldesc
Post by: RogueWarrior on September 06, 2005, 08:51:55 PM
Once I've changed my Long Description to something, what's the best way to make it code generated again (so I don't have to change it every time I do something).

If you're already standing, just type 'stand'.

I highly suggest, 'stand', if you're already standing.  It's a pretty powerful command.  It resets any other thing you've done to yourself.

The max length of a ldesc actually depends on the length of your sdesc.

I'd think it would be a max of 80 characters.  By default, the game tries to keep everything to 80 characters in a string for telnet...

... and then you have some aspects of the game that ignores that, like the 'hooded' feature.

So, it depends on your sdesc length, but assume max 80 characters.

Only Mansa can. Why is still a mystery.

Actually, fighting will not reset your long description if you set it while standing.  Something to keep in mind.
