Looking for thoughts or suggestions on what all I should add in a features list included with the codebase. Want it to give kind of a quick overview of all the cool features in the code.

If you can think of something that I should add in it do me a favor and post it here :)

Well, it's your codebase. Put whatever features in the list you think are good selling points. I had to do the same when I made the list for AFKMud :)

Well are you asking what features to list that are already there, or what features
people would like? I think that is what Samson assumed your asking cause it's
hard for us to tell you what to list, if we don't use LoP. That is an impressive
list you have already though.

Wow, that's a lot of features for a stock code base, good work.

A feature list could have several purposes;

1. Get people interested in the code enough to want to run a MUD with it - Admin
2. Make it easy for an Admin to advertise to get people to want to play - Users/Players

My suggestion would be to break it apart into "Admin" based features and "Player" based features. It would make it easier to read and look at the section that applies to the reader.
I have to agree with 6Dragons, it's hard to suggest things when we don't know the code, but here's some suggestions/questions on what you have already listed to help clarify things a bit more. (You don't actually have to answer these just use it to fix up your list)

- In the Claim Code you mention using 'gift', but haven't listed Gift as a feature. I think it's unique enough to qualify.
- Authorize code - can this be turned on or off?
- 100 levels - is that 100 mortal levels then reach immortal, or all together?
- Classes - how many?
- Races - how many?
- Explorer code - what is this?
- When you say Homepage, MSN, Email, Yahoo, what do you mean? The code comes with it?
- Councils, Clans, Nations - might be better worded that players can join/quit each. Are there Guilds?
- Is there an OLC for ease of online building?
- Spells/Skills - how many? Can new ones easily be added?
- Does it have an Arena code?
- Does it have an already set up newbie training school type thing?
- Since it's based on SmaugFUSS, can you use the SmaugFUSS areas?

You've peaked my interest with this, it has quite a few extras that SmaugFUSS doesn't. I might give it a try. Party with the pets! Woo!

Well are you asking what features to list that are already there, or what features
people would like? I think that is what Samson assumed your asking cause it's
hard for us to tell you what to list, if we don't use LoP. That is an impressive
list you have already though.

Mainly asking what all features should be listed. It is true that if you don't know the code it's hard to
offer suggestions on what all should be included. I'm hoping that someone out there does use it and might
offer some suggestions though. Thanks, I'll probablly be adding and modifying it alot as I go.


- Councils, Clans, Nations - might be better worded that players can join/quit each. Are there Guilds?

There aren't any Guilds. But it should be simple enough to add them. Guilds were always just a clan for peacefuls more or less anyways :).


- Is there an OLC for ease of online building?

Well it's just more or less the SMAUGFUSS OLC.


- Does it have an Arena code?

Just more or less the stock stuff that is in SMAUGFUSS there also.


- Does it have an already set up newbie training school type thing?

Nope because I hate seeing all the stock training schools :).


- In the Claim Code you mention using 'gift', but haven't listed Gift as a feature. I think it's unique enough to qualify.

Gift is just part of the claim code itself. It's how you give a claimed item to someone else and they then have ownership of it.


My suggestion would be to break it apart into "Admin" based features and "Player" based features. It would make it easier to read and look at the section that applies to the reader.

Thats not a bad idea on breaking it up. Did already use most the suggestions in the copy I already have. Going to work on breaking it up shortly :)

Well the only real suggestion I have would be to make your list highlight those things you have that Smaug didn't come with. That's what I focused mine on. We should probably have a list here somewhere of what Smaug does though, because that would be helpful :)

Well it is sort of to add something that will randomly drop from a mobiled killed.
As well as you can have a mobile that will randomly spawn around the world.

I figured if you did like some event where you wanted an object to be dropped for a little bit it would be cool. And since I was tossing that in went ahead and tossed in so mobiles could be put in also.

I guess I should put something about the ability to parse room descriptions in too.

Still debating on something on it though.
[#hp > 30000: Your hp is above 30000.]
[#name Remcon: Your name is Remcon.]
[#name !Remcon: Your name is not Remcon.]

Shows this when I type look.

Your hp is 3124. Your hp is less then 40000. Your hp is more then 30000.
Your hp is 3124. Your hp is more then 30000.
Your hp is 3124. Your hp is less then 40000.

I've been wondering if like when one fails if it should leave out the rest of the ones in it like if you look at the last line in the first code block. The > 40000 fails and yet it does the ones that are valid.

What you all think? Should I make it ignore the rest if the first one fails?

The list looks better now that it's separated but yeah, having a Smaug feature list to start with probably would have been easier.

I'm not quite following what you're trying to do here;

It appears to be repetitive information. The last two lines are the same as the 3rd last line. Also, maybe a glitch in your code but how did hp go from 31324 to 3124?

I'll answer your question with my own dumb question; how would it fail? Wouldn't failure suggest bad coding? :devil:

I'm interested to know if you have a Mud up and running with this so I can check it out. And btw, the link to the website in your sig is invalid.

ah lol na my typing on the line it sent back sucked :)
ok ill explain it a bit better or well try to
This
[#hp > 30000: Your hp is above 30000.]
[#name Remcon: Your name is Remcon.]
[#name !Remcon: Your name is not Remcon.]
[#hp < 30000: Your hp is less then 30000.]
[#hp = 31324: Your hp is exactly 31324.]
[#hp > 30000: [#hp < 40000: [#hp = 31324: Your hp is 31324.] Your hp is less then 40000.] Your hp is more then 30000.]
[#hp > 30000: [#hp > 40000: [#hp = 31324: Your hp is 31324.] Your hp is more then 40000.] Your hp is more then 30000.]
[#hp > 40000: [#hp < 40000: [#hp = 31324: Your hp is 31324.] Your hp is less then 40000.] Your hp is more then 40000.]


showed this

Exits: South.
[21011]A city guard is standing beside the gate.

Notice I put showed because did finaly make it so it would work different and now that first block shows this
Your hp is above 30000.
Your name is Remcon.
Your hp is exactly 31324.
Your hp is 31324. Your hp is less then 40000. Your hp is more then 30000.
Your hp is more then 30000.

So it does ignore extras if the one before it was invalid. Just have to figure out the space issue it caused. (Slight issue but no biggy).

Anyways on to the explination
Everything in the [] is the code.
The # lets it know that it should parse it.
The NAME/name just means it will check the lookers name.
The HP/hp just means it will check the lookers hp.
Remcon of course was my characters name.
The !Remcon means its checking to make sure the lookers name isn't Remcon.
< is of course less then.
> is of course more then.
= is of course equal to.
! is of course not equal to.

The : is mainly for looks :)
The rest up to the ] is the message it sends if the check was true.
If in like the last few examples you have more checks it parses them also.
You could also do it like this.
[#hp > 30000: Your hp is more then 30000.[#hp = 31324: Your hp is 31324.]]

That would make it look like this
Your hp is more then 30000. Your hp is 31324.


Hope that does clear it up some if not let me know ill try to explain it better.

Nope currently not one up and running and the one in 1.35 has a slight issue with the Name part and it also doesn't skip the extras if the first one wasn't true. (I just tossed in a bool to decide to skip if the first was false, but it works nicely). Yea its repetitive because I was just testing it out :)

Aha, I see, I see, the joy of testing.
Will this be some kind of configurable prompt a user can set to display certain things?
Back to the 'ability to parse room descs'... I'm guessing it's a toggable command to either see this or see the room, because, what if I want to see the room desc again when I do a look? :grinning:

I'm sure that Remy will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that he's saying these are things builders can include in their room descriptions to make their rooms a bit more dynamic.

Remy, I'd suggest that you expand slightly on the calendar & channels entries in your list, they're pretty neat features and just saying that they're dynamic doesn't really tell a newbie much. ;)

Re: your updated lists
Yeah I think that's enough information, lol. The more info you have the easier it is for people to decide if it's the right code base for them.

Re: room desc parsing
Interesting. Not sold on it yet, but interesting lol

Yup, Remy, that looks much better and I agree that your list is starting to look really nice.

Hana, the room description parsing is basically dynamic room descriptions. It's really a great idea overall, but it requires builders to do quite a bit extra if it's going to mean anything. On the other hand, it simply doesn't come into play if builders don't do the extra, so no harm in having it even if it's never actually used. (I really need to look into adding it to my mud too, though for the vast majority of my mud it'd prolly never actually come into play because I have a lot of existing rooms that would prolly not get updated to take advantage of it. *shrug*)
