Title: Sheathing
Post by: Beux on August 29, 2006, 11:42:55 AM
It's not a big deal, but I'd reaaally like to see the guards at the gate, remind you in some way to sheathe your weapons when you enter a city/town/village. No where really likes you to have your weapons out, and it makes sense that the guards would rather you sheathe them before entering their city.

I know this would really help me, because obviously my char would realise they still had their weapons drawn, you couldn't miss it, but I, as a player, -constantly- forget. It's really annoying, and I keep wishing the guards would remind me before I step into a posh tavern and get -a lot- of funny looks.

It wouldn't be hard to code right? To have a gate guard say something like

'Oi you, put yeh weapon away if yeh comin' in here!'

Oooh ooh, or better yet: since 'assess' now shows if someone is armed or not, how about adding an 'armed' variable to the prompt?  Says "armed" if you are, outputs nothing if you aren't.

>prompt %h/%v/%t/%A>

100/120/100/>

100/120/100/> draw sword

You draw an obsidian longsword.

100/120/100/Armed>

Yes please. Either will do. :D

EDIT:

Actually I spent half an hour getting beaten up yesterday by something that I should have killed in a couple of hits, because i forgot i'd sheathed my weapons. So prompt please.

Uh, depending on what client you use, you could do this yourself.  I did, and it was rather simple.  Just check to see if your client has some sort of static indicator, like a status bar or somesuch.

Uhuh. And that didn't go straight over my head. Honest.

Not all mudders are clever geeks. :( Some of us are just dorks.

If your client can set up simple triggers, I think it would be allowed for you to do something like:

pattern: Saving at the gates of Allanak

action: sheathe kank-prod;sheathe umbrella

Mmmm, custom prompts.  I haven't, as yet, set up anything for Armageddon, but this reminds me.

this is the best solution, that or being aware of your character. Turning off aim, your email, etc helps a long way toward character awareness and immersion.

I lost a long long lived character when I attacked a creature I was supposed to
gather the meat from. I have killed plenty before in quick hits, this time I attacked
without my weapons though and found out how hard it could hit. I died and it
was sad.
