Exempting emoting from lag when fighting.

[Forty Winks]

I figured keeping the combat lag from affecting your emoting during combat would better add to that experience, especially for warriors with all the kick/bash/disarming going on.

Either that, or allow you to emote while doing those actions.

[Larrath]

Done and done.
It already exists.  Speech, look and thinking, too.

This has been in for awhile, and was one of my favorite additions to the code. Makes for much nicer looking and fluid combat.

I would also like to be able to:

kick lord (stomping at his slipper-clad foot)

You aim a kick at the plump, squeeling noble, stomping at his slipper-clad foot.

Custom emotes aren't affected by combat delays, but I think that the built-in ones ("wave man", "grin gith" etc.) are.

I didn't know we had built in emotes.

I didn't know we had built in emotes.

Just a tiny handful from the stock code. Most was taken out.

[Xygax]

Yeah.  Adding the whole list of all the old diku stock emotes to the unlagged-commands list sounds boring.  You should just use emote, pemote, semote, etc. instead.

I was really happy when I realized than instead of emote smiles, I could type smile and recieve the same effect.

[Xygax]

Morgan:  You can make "^smile$" in your mud client be a substitute for ":smiles" (okay) or even, "pemo ugly mug cracks into a wry, cruel grin." (good) or even have it randomly select from a list of 20 different pre-canned grin emotes. (way cool)

Or you could just type out a custom smile for every situation, which is the best.

Really now.. I could make a hundred different ways to smile!

Tell me how! I have Gmud. *twitches*

Somoene should post a step by step of how to do this in g-mud for those of us that don't have a clue, but can learn if they have some examples to catch on from.

[Maybe42or54]

I'd like it so invalid commands didn't have lag on them.

Kill Ant

The other person kills the ant, beheading it!

There's noone here like that.
