Hey guys, I have some projects coming up in the next couple of months that are going to take up more of my extra time, so in light of that I don't think I can contribute as much to world building. Just some fair warning and wondering if we should look at and revise our rough schedule. -- ide...@f-... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail |

Hey Ide, Not much progress myself I'm afraid... been hectic last couple of weeks at work so Grid's taken a backseat. Hopefully, things will calm down next week and I can start looking at the bugs and implement some more stuff.

Hey guys, This isn't much of an update, because I haven't made a lot of progress in the last week other than some fun research into the world of finance. Just checking in and seeing what you're up to. -- ide...@f-... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be |

Oh of course, OK, will do. Also I think the list archive has got to the point where it's really not working.

Hey guys, how are things. Thought I'd pass on some notes I've been
making. A mixture of possible bugs and my impressions. Admittedly rather
terse in spots, but not criticism, just suggestions.
Lately I've been working on ideas for the content for 0.5. I'd like to
start actual creation/writing at start of April.
Contents:
1. avatar creation
2. examine peculiarities
3. 'look' and 'examine'
4. object list presentation ('human [civilian]')
5. general formatting
6. bug in code command
7. past tense in msgs
8. help destroy
9. NullPointerException on destroy?
10. error on say?
11. 'tell' msg
12. trace
13. 'meditate' weirdness
14. new avatar login bug?
15. 'look' bug?
#
Avatar creation:
allow stat increases/decrease > 1?
obviously need help/descriptions on choose shape, size, description,
etc.
maybe we could push all new avatars to the new player area and allow
creation in game; don't allow them to leave until all stats set. this
way they get maximum help/explanations.
organize skills by cost more explicitly -- maybe with formatting lines
(i.e. "----------{...}")
In game:
can't examine yourself? but root can examine root. but Ide, even when
admin, cannot examine ide. root gets full examine powers though.
no 'info/score' command other than examine? Maybe combine
code/skills/train into one info command.
alias 'l' for look (and ex/x/examine for exam). currently non-intuitive.
'human [civilian]' in object list is kind of weird -- maybe just
'civilian' and 'human' revealed upon examine.
revise help formatting (with line breaks and format lines) for
readability.
code command bug:
20:5 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100): code
To get information on a code type code <code>. Leave blank for a list of
all available codes.
Codes
---------------------------
$abilities
weird past tense on error msg, use present tense ("You tried to attack
[...]")
20:6 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100): patrol
20:6 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100):
Started patrolling.
20:6 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100):
Tried to attack but didn't have a weapon loaded!
no help for 'help destroy'
weird error, sorry wasn't able to repeat it and trace it to particular
command:
ERROR [Thread-2] util.Text - Error loading resource
command.destroyite

say error:

l
Command error, could not parse command: l
20:15 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100):
root can say hello, though, though '%sender' is kind of weird.
ho...@ro... >> say hello
%sender says, "hello"
ho...@ro... >>
tell oddity -- s/b 'tells you':
20:18 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100): tell ide hey
Ide says, "hey"
'trace' strangeness?:
The InterGrid home system.
Found here:

Exits: None
Domain: root.net
Faction: InterGrid
Environment: Silicon
20:19 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100): trace civilian
Found 0 agents / avatar matching 'civilian'.
'meditate' oddity:
20:22 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100): meditate
20:22 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100):
Started meditating.
20:22 # ho...@ro... (0xp : $100): meditate

After I created Ide, I logged in on another session (Ide still logged in
on original session) and attempted to create Ide again.

Hey guys, Discussions on the blog in the last week: 1. Basic definitions of what systems are. 2. Talking about the first new player area. 3. How much content by 1.0 release, and how to get there? 4. Keeping old players interacting with new players. That's all for now. -- ide...@f-... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Accessible with your email software or over the web |

Seyed just a quick question, do you have any plans for a PvP/PK policy, ie only player in player factions can kill each other, etcetera. I'm not exactly in favor of one (that is, I think PvP should be open), but if it is there should be some safe areas, the new player area for example, possibly others. -- ide...@f-... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow |

There's a DTD for the format available in CVS: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gridmud/gridmud-core/conf/chatscript.dtd?view=markup http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gridmud/gridmud-core/conf/missionscript.dtd?view=markup As long as you understand XML and the notes in the rules about the scripts / missions you should be able to create your own scripts. Examples: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gridmud/gridmud-core/script/chat/en/sample.xml?view=markup http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gridmud/gridmud-core/script/mission/en/sample.xml?view=markup > 3) how should we go about balancing play difficulty at this early > stage...how difficult a domain is for an avatar to run is intrinsic in > many ways to the design of the domain.

I'll think more on this but I think to really work out difficulty compartmentalisation for the content we need to: a) Work out some challenge consideration for agents vs. avatars (at the moment the assumption is about half the attribute / code ranks is a moderate challenge) b) Work out the experience value of challenges c) Work out the rate of experience attained d) Work out how much content is needed to match the normal pace of advancement e) Playtest Then steps a) to e) probably need to be repeated till we have a good set of labels for difficulty of agents, systems, hazards and domains as well as avatar strength. > Also I've written the first post to the blog and will post about once a > day.

OK guys, I have a few quick questions I wanted to ask now, though I won't need the answers for probably a month. 1) should I expect agent conversation scripts to be implemented fully for 0.5? Drew, how should we create a process for designing them and writing them (would be good to create some modules/libraries we can use over and over). 2) on the same topic I wouldn't mind learning some of the scripting, I've done similar scripts before. What should I learn as an introduction to the script system? 3) how should we go about balancing play difficulty at this early stage...how difficult a domain is for an avatar to run is intrinsic in many ways to the design of the domain. Can we make some kind of table that compares avatar strength to domain difficulty and tells you how strong the agents should be, the hazards, etc...OK, maybe that's not a quick question! Also I've written the first post to the blog and will post about once a day. I'll summarize what's there every week and write to the list on the weekend so you can see what's up, but feel free to comment any time. regards, -- ide...@f-... -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are |

Looks great Ide. On the password for WP... I forgot that there is no mailing from sourceforge so I'll set it to something and email you separately.

Hey guys,=20 Regarding new world content this is the outline I'm working from: # For 0.5 Release [1 May 2006] Game World Atlantic Atlantic will be the first backbone for gameplay. Initially it will host about 80 systems. This will include: New player area A new player area to learn commands, get oriented, including a very small administrative area. The first default ISP. Plus a stub to extension of the Atlantic backbone. 20 systems. Two domains Two small areas for new players to run the grid. Including two more small areas for new ISPs and/or player factions if necessary plus a stub to the Research backbone. 20 systems avg. each. One domain A moderately difficult area for advanced gameplay, things you don=92t want to put in the new player area necessarily. Including stubs or portals to Hive and Diabolist systems. 20 systems. Creation estimate: Basic estimate to create: 50 hours. # Also just FYI I'm not currently receiving the password emailed from the SF/wordpress register, so it might be a couple of days before I start writing ideas to the weblog. When I do I'll use it as a platform to get feedback on the ideas I'm working on as I work on them. When those ideas crystallize into something worthwhile then I can post a world content document, maybe to the homepage wiki. best, Ide --=20 =20=20 ide...@f-... --=20 http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for.

Yes, I like this idea, so we can keep serial comments and posts organized (better than a bbs).
