Comprehensive List of Neat Little Things So Far #8
(Avoid Repeats and Discussion Derails)





  • "Brief room" will show all of the occupants, but not the room description.

  • "Look room" (and its abbreviation, "l r") will show you the room description of the area you're in, without the occupants. If you walk around with "brief room", this is extremely helpful.

  • When you assess someone, the taller/shorter than you message factors in whether or not they're wearing high-heeled shoes.

  • You can CC character reports to multiple other clans rather than just an extra clan by ctrl+clicking.

  • sit <chair> <table> - If you want to sit at a specific chair at a table, you can.

  • grab <item> - This command is the same as the "hold" and "es" commands.




I will update this list for each new page of the thread. Please consult it before posting, to see if what you're pointing out has already been mentioned! Yes, I have added everything new. If it's not at the end of the list, it's because I added it to a bullet point with a similar topic. Also, if you see any repeats, please let me know! I sometimes accidentally list something more then once.
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

I split it into two parts, since the post had "exceeded 20000 characters", and it won't let me post them. It shouldn't make reading it harder, though, since I linked the last post with everything in it. The new additions are in this post.  :)

HIGH HEELED SHOES MAKE YOU TALLER?
^.^ Amazing!
I have learned that one can, in fact, typo to death.

You can access armageddonmud.org through some filters that block Armageddon.org. I know this works with websense at the moment.

I got all excited when I read this.
Then I tried it here at work.... no such luck.

The actual game itself, no, cannot be accessed because companies normally turn off all ports except their specific ones and the internet. But the website can - At least through Websense - be accessed like that.

It was the website I tried, no luck. :(
Slow times at work would be perfect for catching up on request tool/bio stuff.

You could always write your bios in a word document (or even in notepad), and then put them in to the game/bio tool later.

Back when I was Security at a Casino I would have to do at least 2 hours at the back door where I checked in staff. Which, was boring at 2 am, and they used Windows XP. Which, still used Telnet. And I was able to connect, and play. IT even caught me and was like " Meh, I don't care, nerd" LOL.

I remember recruiting this Half elf girl. And IMMEDIATELY taking her out on a contract. Right as we go into this gith hole I tell her "Remember your training, and you'll be fine." and she goes "I have no training." Then she died

This thread is for neat little things the code actually does, not neat little things you wish it did...just an FYI.

At least we fixed/added this thing:

12/11/2012: Fix to issue with hiding ankle/shoulder/wrist descs -- Morgenes
12/11/2012: Added ability to specify what wrist/ankle/shoulder to wear -- Morgenes

With appropriate roleplay of course.

What if shoulder stuff isn't hiding properly, still? Tattoos, etc.?

It will hide if you have something you're wearing over that shoulder.

This engine does not have the support to have your badass cloak cover your badass shoulder tattoo and also your badass body.

Oops, sorry. I missunderstood what they were asking.

Just typing 'Eat" with nothing after, will eat the last object you picked up.

Typing "Eat Roguegunslinger", however, will yield an entirely different result.
<Morgenes> Dunno if it's ever been advertised, but we use Runequest as a lot of our inspiration, and that will be continued in Arm 2

OMG, does this mean wearing heels will make it slightly easier to bash/harder to be bashed?... Seems kind of, wrong, but, maybe.

I don't know, but I like shit like this.
Useful tips: Commands |  |Storytelling:  1  2

When you need to load multiple quivers, and do not need to load the first one, if you ">put arrow 2.quiver" that container will move to the top of your list, so that afterwards you need only ">put arrow quiver."

Not sure if it saves you any time, but it's something I've noticed.

This happens with all containers (bags, packs, etc) I hate it personally, because usually when I am doing this I am transferring items from one bag to the other and it becomes a complete nightmare.
I am unable to respond to PMs sent on the GDB. If you want to send me something, please send it to my email.

Yes, the last saved item generally moves to the #1 position.  Quiver, container ...  whatever.

three large bags
