Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Is there a library, could it contain an interactive book?
« on: May 01, 2015, 01:37:59 am »
Thank you soo much for your informative respond. Gamebook is the name for these types of games/books.
CYS seems like a wonderful site, and I need to read through a few of those books.
Mixing the concept with a mud seems very interesting, need to let that idea brew a little more  :P

Suggestions & Ideas / Is there a library, could it contain an interactive book?

I'm not sure what the name for the type of book is but here is an example:
http://fightingfantasy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=37

I enjoyed these quite much, because you could reread them and explore, and ofcourse try the main objective to reach the ending(s).

rynald: Thats great!
I would be glad if you could finish it into production quality, since I cant continue any further with your patch.

Regarding your question.
I've based the toggles depending on the user-interface.
The other option would be user-condition toggles like blind, dyslexia, deaf, etc. But that doesn't make sense (in my opinion).

The toggles would give hints for the code on how to produce/output text the best way for the end-user equipment. Though I have no experience no how a braille display works.

Doing my initial work I didn't figured out what the PRF_BRIEF toggle is. So I ignored it ;) ... maybe there is some redundant work if that toggle is already supposed to produce leaner text?

Thanks for giving my patch some love!

love,
lharc

I prefer to address any user inclusively by using 'our' rather than 'they'.

If I may think about our current userbase and future userbase more generally in mind, I see following categorization:
* a user who uses a braille display.
* a user who uses an audio converter.
* a user who whishes for a easer/compact english.
* a user who has seen the same room thousand times and whishes more silent output unless something extraordinarly happens in the environment.

Anyway, looking at the tbamud I've added a BRAILLE and AUDIO option to preferences. For now the option is toggable, and survives a server-restart  :P

Suggestions & Ideas / hello + patch
« on: July 22, 2013, 02:15:31 am »
Hello!
I'm new to mudding. Thought I'd say hello.

I have a patch below which uses a bit in mob bitvector (bit 20). If enable the mob cant communicate (ie speak etc).
So far it only has effect on the memory attack function.

best regards!
