Desdaemona changes

Postby Ehlanna on Sat Jun 23, 2007 3:03 pm

Two changes that have happened recently:

Code: Select all
/msg Desdaemona !list abbr <text>

which will list any 'abbreviations or acronyms' found with <text> in them. Thus far most of these will be taken from payroll information, so a !list abbr NB will tell you that is The Naked Bird.

Code: Select all
!fullname <nick>

which can be used to find out the full character name linked to a nick that is logged in. The command HAS to be issued in the channel in which the nick to be looked at is in and it should NOT be used to gain OOC information (hence it's public requirement!) but to find the 'proper name' of the character to allows other commands, such as !desc to be issued.

And, just 'cos I was told to (blame a certain Fiery Moriel for this! :P :twisted: ) we have a NPC tender to whom you can direct requests ... if she is working.

In #The_Lonely_Inn only, as a public command:

!fugly serve drink
!fugly serve food

And the Inn managers and workers control her shifts with
!fugly on and !fugly off and can check with !fugly status

I don't suppose anyone has a full list of the fugly commands, do they? I can't seem to find them, so I figured asking here is the best I can do. I know a couple of them, like food, water, drink, and ale, but I'm pretty sure there's more.

I know it takes a bit of work, but the ideal, for me, would be is if Fugly recognized the names of all the dishes on the menu seen here: http://belariath.com/index.php?option=c ... Itemid=223

Of course, I'm not the one doing the work, so I'm not going to complain. I just thought I'd make the suggestion, in the off chance nobody had thought of it yet. :)

It has been thought of, and without recourse to doing a database search for each item it is nor practical. Fugly was never meant to be a full-blown NPC tender, just a temporary stand-in in case no IC tenders were available.

Understood, just thought I'd throw it out there, just in case. Thanks for responding so promptly :)

Thanks Ehl.

Now let's not have anyone say they don't know what's going off because they don't have time to read the boards.

Aww, go on then ... you persuaded me ...

As it will not always be possible for an Admin-type person around as and when things happen that others should know of ... you can now add and edit news items yourself:

Code: Select all
/msg Desdaemona !news add "<subject - max 20 chars>" "<Fuller Description>"


Code: Select all
/msg Desdaemona !news edit # "<subject - max 20 chars>" "<Fuller Description>"


You get the number to use for the # from a !news list command, and you will be able to edit your own only. The quotes are needed where shown.

And also ...

Code: Select all
!qdice

[23:07] <Ehlanna> !qdice
[23:07] <Desdaemona> Ehlanna (Ehlanna) uses Quest Dice and gets a 1, missing!
[23:07] <Ehlanna> !qdice
[23:07] <Desdaemona> Ehlanna (Ehlanna) uses Quest Dice and gets a 3, missing!
[23:07] <Ehlanna> !qdice
[23:07] <Desdaemona> Ehlanna (Ehlanna) uses Quest Dice and gets a 8, hitting for 9 damage

The !qdice command has been updated to permit a valid (1 to 10) number be passed to it as a substitute target to the default of 6.
