What would you like to see in GMCP?

Omei

@Nalor: Mobs entering and leaving will come up in the Char.Items.Add/Remove events.

@Aishia: Likewise, you should be able to detect (detectable) players in Room.Add/RemovePlayer.

Nalor

@Omei it doesnt update correctly unless you do QL, or look

This would be really nice. As is I just spam things in Syssin, but that's annoying/not pretty.

Ashmer

I don't know if this is a bug, but gmcp.Char.Status.class doesn't update when you do CLASS SWITCH.

 

Add: Apparently it updates when you SCORE, which fixes the problem for me. <3DraiDraiDrai

What is GMCP standing for?

Irruel

generic mud client protocol

Ashmer

Necromancy - Regeneration

Usage: REGENERATE (player)

Using the inherent power of the necromancer, you may instill life
essence into the corpse of a fallen combatant to raise them from the
dead.

 

Seems like gmcp.Char.Items.Add, gmcp.Char.Items.Remove, and gmcp.Char.Items.Update aren't actually sent. Can anyone else confirm/deny this?

Dhraen

Confirmed. I bugged this over a year ago and the bug is still outstanding. #7912

Thanks to whoever finally fixed this!

.Update is still not working as it should, but that's a minor issue. Yay GMCP char items!

Ashmer

On the list of Things That Would Be Seriously Useful in GMCP:

 

Syssin illusion balance.

 

Thank you! Y'all rock!

(also fitness pls)

GMCP affs for enemies!

Go.

God I wish

Yeah, there would likely be issues with the amount of data sent, but lt's face it, having this available would hardly be game breaking. The only people who would utilise it would be system developers, and well, we can already garner this data via other methods.

Asesino

I would like to see emotes; in gmcp; 

This way you can have an RP log to back at.

Toz

I looked for sandstorm in GMCP and couldn't find it - while tracking it is possible, when you die or something weird happens, it might momentarily throw you off. Not really a major deal, but one of those 'it wouldn't hurt' kind of things. Unless I just missed it, in which case I'll go back to poking around.

Nalor

@Toz look in the GMCP section .. think Feichin put it up for idea.. or might have seen it as a report waiting to be put in..

report 1546



didnt realise this was that section shhhhhh

Ashmer

pls2be illusion balance

Nalor

@Omei @Oleis

Align the GMCP Skills to match what you see on "You have gained x skill.$ so annoying trying to match them up as "foreststride" in you have gained but GMCP shows - FORESTSTRIDING ..


May skills are like that

Ashmer

Shapeshifting/Battlefury Rage balance in GMCP please!

EDIT: Oh unicorns, I just realized I necro'd a thread. IDEA Can new forums let me delete my posts so I can hide all my shame???

^^ also the same for when a mob enters and leaves.. You have to use QL to update it

This! Mobs moving makes Add/Remove events, but List event happens on GLANCE/QL/LOOK. Things related to this and potential ideas:

Can INFO HERE/PROBE (if it's a container applicable to Char.Items.Container)/INFO INV cause a List event? I don't know why only the vague ones without IDs do it- GL/LOOK/INV.

Since Char.Items.Inv and Contents can request List without the clunky two-step process of using GLANCE to cause the event, could we send "room" with Char.Items.Contents to cause List?

Ishin

Could we get raceskills for endgamers to show up in GMCP?

Add/Remove/Update are all working fine, for the record.
While I can provide zero support in implementing these functions into your own system, here's how I'm handling them.

Clicky.

Samp

@Sheirosia I'll look over that, thanks!

EDIT: I had some of my debug messages gagged.

Carnifex soul level? Maybe? If it's still a thing after the revamp?

I can't find it either.

On the subject of Carnifex soul level, I was also wondering if we could have a custom prompt token for it, just like essence/kai/devotion, etc.

----

Oh, just thought to clarify on souls:

Soul type one:
Our own soul. Think of it like a blood level. This is a percentage value. There is a prompt token for it, and there is a gmcp for it. This is useful for two things that I know of: 1. when harvesting soul type two, this gets drained. I've never let it hit 0, so I don't know what happens. But I assume it's not a good thing. 2. when the target of a Carnifex, the less of this soul you have means the more he has stolen from you, and the faster/stronger he can hit you.

Soul type two:
Souls we have gathered. Think of it like devotion/essence. It is a value that has a maximum of 10,000. We have to harvest souls to replenish this. There is no prompt token for it, or a gmcp. We need to soul gaze to check how much we have. We use it for abilities - offensive, defensive and utility. Because we don't have a gmcp or prompt token for it, we can run out of this at inopportune moments if we don't regularly check how much we've got. Running out of it sucks.

Soul type three:
Soul we've drained from a target. This refers to (100% - target's soul type one). There is no prompt token for it, or a gmcp. We need to soul discern target to check how much we have taken. However, I'm not sure we should have a gmcp or prompt token, since it's something akin to checking a target's mana pool (contemplate)/health pool (quickassess), etc. to tell how far ahead we are in combat. The more of this type of soul we have, the faster and more powerful our attacks.

-----

I was asking for gmcp/prompt tokens for soul type two. I suspect Ashmer is too.

Daskalos

I think they mean the soul they've built up to use for offensive attacks versus your own personal soul levels, @Oleis.

Oleis

I see. Thanks for clarifying. Because a lot of that is being clarified in the carni revamps, I still get it twisted in my head how the current model works.

Actually a lot of Carnifex confuses the shit out of me. That's part of why this revamp has taken so long.

I'll make sure whatever we have makes sense.
