Sadie VS Ivellios (Now with more RAINBOW!)

I got handaxes, now my juggling might hit for a change. *laugh* I stayed alive for a while, longer then I expected, but I was basically a moving, bleeding punching bag. I really need to work on that. *snicker* And this log is a lot less colorful and much more painful for me. *laugh*

I took my shouting at and fixed my affliction sequence.

Ivellios, remember to smoke for aura. I noticed you smoked sometimes, but weren't actually maintaining the defense. Also, your sketch was intimidated and you probably want to move away and collect it (not easy against a deathknight) or use another, though maybe not straight away since I will always attempt to intimidate them. Perhaps toss one in when you think I'm held down by songs/yoth?

Problem was, I never got you once with yoth if I remember correctly. Hitting you with yoth using revelation alone is impossible manually and I have no clue how to use timers. So, I was using daggers with oxalis to help, problem was, I kept missing. Now I have handaxes so I might hit more often. But thanks for the advice. And with the smoking, I'll have to work on doing that more often.

Z/CMUD?

You can use something like this I would guess. I don't actually know the messages.

#REGEX {^You sing revelation onto (@tar.*)\.$} {#T+ revelation_timer}
#ALARM "revelation_timer" {*8} {#ECHO %ansi(hi,red)@target %ansi(yellow)is UNDEAF, YOTH THAT SUCKER!} "" {disable}

That alarm will then fire off every 8 seconds. You can stop it firing by including '#T- revelation_timer' somewhere. Like when you switch target, or kill your target, or have it on an alias, whatever.

Anyway, just throwing around ideas.

Mushclient, and I understand you are just throwing around ideas and I greatly appreciate it. I just look at what you typed, sorta understand what it says, but have no clue how to implement. And how would that alarm work, something would pop up right before revelation hits, right?

Yeah if you don't know how to do timers, especially as bard, you really need to find out or ask somebody.

It would work by telling you the instant revelation was stripping their blind/deaf, letting you know it was time to use yoth or whatever.

do it the lazy man way #alarm +8 {sing yoth @tar;#echo Ha Ha, you just shut Nickleback up.}

If you're on MUSH client and you're looking to learn how to use timers, this link might be useful for you:

As a general note you should also never, under any circumstances listen anyone who suggests putting attack commands in a temporary, un-named alarm as that's unbelievably retarded.

Ideally, you want to follow Sadie's advice and make a timer that simply echoes a bright shiny thing on your screen just before revalation ticks. Once you become a bit more confident with your coding you can create a toggle that will, when pressed, send Yoth the next time revalation ticks.

To dgroz093, went to that page and it makes my brain hurt...but I'll do my best to figure it out. And I am going to do, when I can figure out how, what Sadie suggested. Because what the other person said won't work for yoth. If you use yoth, and the other person still has it, nothing happens. So it is a waste of equilibrium then. Once I figure out that revelation timer, I'll have to set it up for my other songs too.

What language are you coding in, within MUSHclient Ivellios? Lua?

Uh...whichever one will be the easiest dgroz093. Right now I have a targeting alias and then aliases for all my attacks like HM for hum yoth @target myried @target. I done any coding so far...but hey, I used to not even know what an alias is so I'm making progress.

OT: I'm looking into the color issue. Most of it is fixed in my local, upcoming version of NoGFX. I'm waiting for some answers from Sadie before I can nail the remaining.

Ivellios: I don't have much experience with MUSHclient so it's tough for me to advise you. With that said, my understanding (and someone please correct me if it's erroneous) is that it allows you to choose between:
VBscript, Jscript, Perlscript, Python and Lua. Of those, I'd probably choose Lua to start with as there are HEAPS of people playing Imperian right now who use it and thus can help you out.

Tobias: Kudos on working 'nail' and 'Sadie' into the same sentence. She can fix my 'remaining issues' any day, if you know what I mean!
