Small Ideas - AIN'T NO COMBAT THREAD

Angwe

Some way for non-crafters to see what public designs exist and who made them would be nice. And a way to search for a specific design by name, public or private, and see who made it.

Erzsebet

Think private designs are private for a reason. But more search functions for crafting in general would be pretty awesome.

Though alas, they've already said non-crafters prob. won't ever be able to see or own designs because of the way it's coded. Which sucks really.

Wish non-crafters could -own- designs. It's a pain in the rear to have to get the same exact outfit commissioned like 20 times because your tailor torpored or jumped sides or let them decay or whatever, it'd be so much easier if -I- could own them, worry about upkeep for them, and just allow them to whatever tailor happens to be convenient when I need them.

Also. An unallow command that unallows them but doesn't specifically put them on the denied list?

Periluna

A way to preview posts (after it is sent from the editor) to see if any changes need to be made formatting wise before it is actually posted.  I know I put them in the editor perfectly and they usually come out jumbled. Grr.

*echo ?

For the love of all that is holy, a QUICKWRITE command to inscribe a quick, limited message on a letter without having to go to the news room. 

quickwrite letter <number> <message>. Bam.

Or even a quick mailing system, which ties into quickwrite

Quickwrite letter Daskalos Get a bigger mace. Instantly written and sent. Applicable in post offices and or people with letter satchels/pigeons

Can we get the vigor elixir to show up on elixlist short please?

Orisae

A way for me to submit pictures into Artisanals that are larger then 2mb. I tend to do pixel art a lot and have to save them as pngs in order to keep them looking smooth. Problem with that is that they end up being too large. Problem with me saving them any other way is that they lose a massive amount of quality to their appearance.

Daskalos

Have you tried photoshop's save for web feature, even as a png?

Orisae

I can try to ask someone to save it for me like that, I guess. I don't have photoshop on my laptop, though. I mostly use OpenCanvas and MSpaint for my stuff.

Lin

Save 'em as GIF. You can use up to 256 colors and it makes the filesize super small.

Wearing - Let's have clothing be a bit more distinctive. First off, "He is wearing" should be colored and on a new line. Secondly, let's distinguish where things are worn. It could look something like this:

He is a muscular Human badass. This is a really long description, it probably hurts your eyes.
He is wearing:
<worn on head>      a pair of badass aviators

<worn on torso>     a really dashing shirt
<worn on feet>      a pair of converse sneakers
<in his left hand>  a really awesome whip

thats some old-school DIKU right there

Wasn't going to Idea this but since NO ONE in the game is a Bloodborn, or willing Bloodborn to assist anyone nowadays then here's my idea..

To have a mob/NPC able to change the path of a Praenomen, from Sapivi, Phreneses or Insidiae which will cost from 5 to 15k... because trying to find a Bloodborn or a willing Bloodborn to assist is stupidly hard...

Also have the same NPC/Mob be able to fill a phial of blood for you for x amount of gold also, as same as above.. no Bloodborn are willing to assist .... OR change the "collect blood" command Bloodborn have to be able to be used from everyone.. with the same restrictions, person has to be bleeding, but if you're not a Bloodborn have it use double the amount of balance...

Any chance to remove the dot at the end of the link for the vote reminder, please?

I'll be double as likely to vote(hinthint) if I can just click the link and have Mudlet do its magic, compared to clicking the link and getting a "page not found".

Mastema

You could add an alias to your mudlet set up like this and do it when you see the reminder.

pattern: ^vote$

openUrl(http://aetolia.com/vote)

Then type it in to make it open the page.

Haydyn

@Njiran I agree with Mastema, plus if your default browser is Chrome or Firefox you can set it up to "Click" the button on the page for you too.

For those like me who forget to vote:

Step 1: Set www.aetolia.com/vote to open in another tab when you open Chrome.

Step 2: Install this GreaseMonkey script: http://bloodrose.bubble.ro/auto_topmudsites.user.js 

Step 3: Due to new changes in Chrome, it won't auto-install. So drag and drop it from Downloads to the "Extensions" page in the settings within Chrome.

Step 4: You "VOTE" every time you open your browser.

(There are instructions for Firefox as well, but I don't use it so I'm not sure if they still work exactly as listed.)

Would we ever see raze added to Weaponry or even an artifact weapon rune that would let you raze?

Pretty please?

Angwe

Ooh! What if new Sentinels had some way to throw off farsight/thirdeye similar to marks? This would support the trap-user/ambusher archtype, allowing a Sentinel being pursued to either throw off his hunters or engineer a situation via his traps and/or his crossbow where he stands a better chance.

Ilyon

It could be interesting, but I'd be wary of the farsight fooling - unless it has some very clear restrictions, it would essentially give every sentinel a free hood.

Angwe

Good point. My thought in including farsight is that it's such a basic skill, but the marks precedent I'm using doesn't have that function, does it? If not, it wouldn't make sense to invalidate such an expensive artifact.

One way this could be averted is giving the fetish/resin/bolt/whatever a very short lifetime, say 30 seconds? Cost of resources over time and possibly a decent balance time would make it impractical to keep stopping to set these things up for a 'free hood'.

Delete hood!

Fixed.

/neuter Haven

Done.

Ezrax

Elegant solution: change Haven's name to Betsy.

Haven

I was here first! Change Havens to Sanctuary or Sanctum. HRMPH.

Lin

I'd be cool with that.

Arbre

I always wondered why they weren't sanctuary anyways.

I like to think that it's IRE's way of saying that they love me.

Ezrax

Sure they do, Betsy.

Aarbrok

Betsy...terrifies me.
