Best Of

Re: Owned Part II

Stine has perished amidst an Immortal conflagration, left eye torn free of Her body by the wrath of the Inferno.

Two things happened here. Stine was killed so hardcore that:

1) Stine became a momentary god.
2) Stine also became a woman.

Congrats, I guess?

All this talk about mirrors like it's the best thing in the world.

Talk to me about mining. Where are we on that?

That is basically how I feel, looking at my inefficient Mudlet code and comparing it to the elegance of seasoned coders, say... Haven's. 😂 It works, but the coding is overly complicated.

I'm looking forward to April 1st.

That's basically the idea. We want April 1st to be about trying weird things and having fun. I wanted to release, or at least start release, that day also because @Seurimas is absolutely correct.

Also, I feel like... goodness. I have written like 700 lines of code and just now realized I was doing the same thing over and over and could have written a function to do it faster.

Hey, if this is what the people want, far be it from me to stand in the way! I assumed wrongly.

Overall we're on time for April 1st to be a cool day

Everyone knows that patience is not among my virtues, but... April 1st? Maybe wait one more day so it's both on Friday evening and not April Fool's day (i.e. not likely to be received as a prank)? <.<

Here's a quick update!

Razmael had to code the database fix for afflictions as well as defenses, because some didn't make sense.
I ended up having to completely redo the verbage of Battlefury.
Righteousness really needed some rewrites.
I have small panic things, example to follow.
There still needs to be a lot of testing.

Overall we're on time for April 1st to be a cool day, I will just sleep for a week after it.

Example:
subroutine righteous_pilgrimage(ply, skill, ver$)
{
   global target$;

What the heck is global target$? Nothing uses it. We don't like to use globals, and stripped them out. How did this one survive? What does it even do? Pilgrimage aura doesn't even use a target! It looks for the person you've protected. Or where you left the aura. Not only that, it's a string! Those other things are numbers! WHY ARE YOU THERE? Can I cut it out? Do I need to duplicate it for Revenant? The other pilgrimage doesn't use it either.

Pause to read documentation.

WHY DOESN'T RAPTURE DOCUMENTATION INCLUDE GLOBALS?! Where are globals even set? Oh my god, do I need to track down where target$ is set? That's like, the third most commonly used string, I can't search for target$, what search terms find you the origin of a global variable?

Etc. I am extremely tired. Anyway, the answer was to ignore it. Likely the exact same answer that the last person to code in skill_righteousness.r did. Somewhere down the line someone else will have the exact same meltdown.

Re: Oriana

Just delete it. I'm tried of the sponsored harassment and censorship for asking someone to leave me alone.

All I wanted a positive way to improve and was basically harassed and censored and nothing done to the abusers.
