For some MUDs, it is, and yes you can always bestow individual commands, although it's much easier to do it with whole groups at a time. Not only is it easier to add/remove them, but you can better manage group policy rather than having to go change a whole bunch of people every time you add a command. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20499#p20499 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:39:48 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20498#p20498 Well, yes, and I've given this a lot of thought. The ranks are more for baseline trusts; Commands to whom will need them will be permitted based on the job. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20498#p20498 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:30:41 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (Zecred) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20493#p20493 Well for example you might have imms whose job is to manage players, and then imms whose job is to build, and then imms whose job is to manage other imms, and then imms whose job is to create and run quests. It seems pretty clear that the imms-who-manage-imms are higher up in the level hierarchy so that's easy enough to do. Make commands related to managing imms be of a level such that only those imms can use them. But does it really make sense to order commands related to player managemen https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20493#p20493 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:07:50 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20490#p20490 Care to give a little more detail about that one david? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20490#p20490 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 11:30:00 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20488#p20488 Just as a note, adding more levels isn't really the right fix for the permissions system. Permissions aren't necessarily a linear affair; permission groups would be a better approach. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20488#p20488 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 11:11:30 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20486#p20486 By the way, I did want to ask. If you do decide to put these in, would you mind putting a piece of the changed code here as compared to the old code? I tried to do this myself, but I couldn't find where the PERM_MAX was declared. I'd like to get a good example though so I can start being able to code better. Thanks. -Zec. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20486#p20486 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:04:53 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (Zecred) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20485#p20485 Of course. I'm not asking for a banner across the screen that exclaims "THAT AWESOME GUY ZECRED MADE ALL THESE RANKS". Just a mention somewhere would be great. Thanks, Remcon. Here are the proposed ranks: 115 The Unquestionable 114 Paramounts 113 The Superior 112 The Prominent 111 The Upraised 110 Transcendents 109 The Timeless 108 Perpetuals 107 Elevated Cardinals 106 Lower Cardinals 105 The Undying 104 Terraformers 103 Manipulators 102 The Endowed https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20485#p20485 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:58:38 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (Zecred) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20484#p20484 You of course are welcome to go with whatever you wish and if you choose to try and keep the idea for yourself that is fine and dandy I'll just go ahead and look and make you an example of how to add them to your code and put it here for you. If you do wish to release the idea if I use it I'll give you credit for it (within reason). If however I think your requesting more credit then it is worth considering I'm doing the code for it and you just gave the idea I just simply wont use it, simple en https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20484#p20484 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:20:32 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20483#p20483 Well, considering that it's not really a bug fix (It's a feature, and that's why I asked for coding assistance, not an editing of the codebase for future releases), the point here is that I made them and thus I'd ask credit where credit is due- If, of course, the rank list that I created were implemented in any other MUDs. Call it smug if you like, but maybe I'm just a bit protective of my ideas and what are done with them. To be fair, I do appreciate the feedback, however critical it may be. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20483#p20483 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 14:52:38 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (Zecred) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20480#p20480 I mean this in the nicest way possible, so please don't be offended, but to say you may or may not share depending on whether or not you want them unique to your mud would sound awfully silly in the context of bug fixes. I wonder how other people would feel if those maintaining the base would say the same thing? "I found a nice memory leak, I'll post the fix or I may not. Depends if I want the fix unique to my mud or not." :stare: That you want to keep it private, I have [b][u]NO[/u][/b] iss https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/wizlist-4384/&p=20480#p20480 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:45:36 CDT LoP Codebase nobody@example.com (GatewaySysop)
