This is just a suggestion, since I've been roleplaying a couple times and it has proven to be quite annoying for both me and the other rper. But is there a way to make emotes a little bit longer than 94 words? Perhaps maybe 110 or 115? It's kind of hard to shove a scene into that many words without going crazy from seeing your emotes cut off. Thanks for your guy's help. ^_^

Well let me look and see what I can find out on it and I will get back to you.

what would also be a good idea would be the implementation of pmotes.
Example of a pmote(personal emote):
type pmote dances in a circle around Sarias.
message to everyone in the room:
Tocharaeh dances in a circle around Sarias.
What sarias see's:
Tocharaeh dances in a circle around you.
What I see:
You dance in a circle around Sarias.

I've always been a fan of pmotes because it allows for more direct interaction vs. the constant third person. I think the way emotes send the actor a message should change also so that it's more personal. I'd rather see "You" than see "Tocharaeh" when I've typed an emote/pmote.

Thumbs up on pmotes. I've been wanting to see something like that for a long time. ;D

You've been wanting to see Tochy dance in circles around Sarias?

Well if I can figure out how emotes work in the code I will see on the private emote. No promises though.

I looked at the code and there is a limit to how long of a string of characters you can have for emote. Ie string of characters are words and spaces. Now I can add to the max length. I don't want to mess with the max length itself. I won't say how long the max length is but right now in the code it is max + 4 characters. I can try increasing this but I'm concerned that this might crash the mud. It shouldn't be to hard to add an pemote but one thing at a time. Sarias is asking for about 100 words or so. Thing is to me the max buffer should be more than enough. I'm willing to increase it maybe 13 more characters. I need to think on this some more.

Okay I tested this out on the mud. And I got 7.5 lines of emote before it cut off. This is plenty enough for an emote. I will see about the pemote and see if any of the immortals have any objections to this if I can code that in.
