Muratus del Mur

pip - sell docs, who has them how to give them, how to add in wish shop, etc jadenDew - you will be documenting scene activateable items. these are the necro gate, pillars of all sorts, wodin ancient corpse, knaty corpse, and any item that appears on the scene based on triggers. This is about ancient stuf, so i will reply questions slow, The new scene activateble items replace that functionality, but not all of it. Some will remain as it is (like quest artifacts, thats how the number capsule near the gazebo is called in my code) koshu be sure you tell each new person how thing work thanks a lot. We will be making a meeting in january to see what has been done and to make initial review of your activity. Koshu you will remind me of this and help organizing everything. great so far

are you sure some lines shoudlne be thiker than others to better represent the meaning? just asking, dont change anything based on my question...i am just curious if you made it so to be more stylish or because you think meaning is better respresented like that

i was poked to reead this and chec if it needs a25 tools/ It doesn't. all you might need a js script to do it. It is repeatable quest anyway.buit i dont see why its related to a25 style

To avoid things being assigned and getting lost, like it happens usually, i will do checkpoints. Lets say in by 10th of january, i await SOMETHING from the people i named. Those that provide the fewest or the less usable information, will be eliminated from this (and sadly left empty handed). Those that remain, will continue and start to benefit from the (small or big) advantages of their position. This sort of "competition" will last until you finish everything there is to write about the section you selected. Once done, you will reeive a tag and description to reflect this activity for future reference (multiple tags will be a possibility by then so you wont lose existing tag/desc) Please understand that i intend to use you as my external memory. I will be asking you questions when i need to remember something, you are supposed to know the answers...so better ask me now all the questions you wish about the section you handle.

ok...this requires for the next step in heat management :D i have an ideea, ..secret for now :D thank you all . this topic can be closed now

omg...thanks for reminding me about it!!!!! I need to stop/finish working on a25 first, and probably make some preparations for christmas..sadly these are priority because if i dont finish the details on current a25 feature , it will get lost forever in the corners of my memory and if i dont do anything at all for christmas preparations ..i cant do it AFTER you sure understand i wont be doing any christmas preparations in rl, none to spend it with, so i wil have more time to work on md, lets hope i will get more things done Someone please poke me about this and if someone knows whats the current stage of it (tehnically speaking, only chew could know), tellll meee you see thats wy i need additional live memory of tech things. Come on, make that memory happen. it will save my life :) CHEW WHEN YOU READ THIS PLEASE EMAIL ME TECH DETAILS ABOUT THIS, ANYTHING YOU KNOW AND LINKS/QUERIES THAT WORKED SO FAR, ANYTHING. THANK YOU

i think i assigned someone else to crits. please pay attention. i asked tal to deal with recruiting places and altars..but apparently he has no clue whats what so ... (i still want to know who wants to do that) And, start attacking me with questions for your docs. :) i will post here when i get bad questions so that others can avoid similar. please use short and clear questions , like 1 row. its more clear and organized than long complex questions.

hahaha well i used one recently and it was aweome, and the result is so easy to use/search/transfer ..i liked it a lot..plus content can be exported as html too. what do you have against help files format?

@change: actually there won't be that much work, all you need to do is gather data and ask questions..it will take time for me to answer them, its a slow process. You don't have to test anything, you don't have to document the content of the features but just the features themselves, as i said already. For example for inventory items..how to add them, not what they are everywhere with name and stats..that doesnt interest me..i need to know what the list of possible settings are and such. (example)

its funny you think what should be FAIR for an inmate to evade. I just want it at the border of "possible but not probable" Getting out with trade power from jail is ok, much better than getting out with raw force I shall adjust the gate heat to something...not saying what :P but thats not all. Thanks for the test, pm me if you need to be taken out from there (lab rats only :P )

sometimes i think like samon, other times like dst its both..should be kept hidden, but its so much fun seeing it all.

so, 10-15k as no one suggested?

Tal, recruiting places for crits and altars? can you deal with those or its not what you would like (tell honest i dont mind)

spell docs anyone? for the spells you have too liste experience fang, for that i need someone with lots of spells that know to use them. shared items/ gathering tools? not sure how to divide those

just let me know when done, i want to see all side by side so maybe put them all in an image with title below. thx email preferably

For those of you that think this is bad organizing: I need things this way because i need them prepared as if the person reading them has no clue what is possible to do in md. If you make them too organized and nested, you won't see things from multiple perspectives unless you already know what you are looking for. What i want is something intuitive. If i want to work or change somethign related to creatures, i go to creatures section, and see there a list of possible features and setups and info on how to do it...nothing nested too deep. Many times we are not even knowing what we are looking for when searching for something...thats why a broader initial view is needed for such info. I am ultra excited about this...if you will prove apable of gathering such info, md development will speed up enormously on my side, you will be ating as my live memory units :)

syrian - creatures...but i expect not a history of what each creature stats are , or pics of the crit..thats spoiler..but i want detailed list of creature abilities and variations of those abilities. We are documenting the features not the loaded content. plain text is good enough, as long as it is divided in questions and answers. Chew is right, but I need to think of somethign that works for all, and plain text is plain enough. Forum entry is good, can be linked too.. I will prepare the orum section structure and chew will create it soon. IMPORTANT: WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NEXT There is a lot of info you can gather on your own, please remember this is about documenting the FEATURES not necessarily the actual numbers and settings . In the end i need docs that will make my life easy when i want to perform a task that i do rarely, lets say for example i want to add a new creature..what should i do?? Honestly i don't know right now, i forgot. But if i look over the code and files I will remember. This is what these docs are about... instructions of how to setup various things in MD. Please keep a copy of your entries on your local drive. I will edit your entries and remove all data that is too specific about a certain thing, and keep just info i need. For example, I don't need a list of location names, i need instead to know that location/scene name is set from the language table and not the scene record. ..things like that You don't have this info..but here is how we will do: You prepare questions, small, clear and simple questions. You send them to koshu, he sends them to me VIA EMAIL. I will answer, my answers reach you via him, and you enter those answers (that will contain tech details), to your docs. Koshu..DO NOT SEND NEXT EMAIL BEFORE I ANSWER LAST ONE. I hope this is clear and simple enough. Remember, the more good ans useful question-answer entries you will have, the higher your activity count will be...in the end (on the way actually), i will start to reward those of you that are active according to your activity level. I hope all of you. If you prove to understand the mechanics of what your section is about, you can reach really far.

samon - cauldron stuff ..be warned is complicated and a lot :) ..also fun however i will want everything written in form of question and answer, each person writing in a separate section. For example, samon, writs in "Cauldron type items" Q: how do you prepare a consumabe product A: full detailed example of an existing one and all places code shoudl be written and so on. Koshu, use anything you like to centralize it all, eventually it might be posted on the forum, or in a chm help document ..not sure. You can keep it in word docs because it has images support too. for now or zoho, aaanyything you like

1) first of all..i realized very well that this "favors" hysteria is basically fueled just by a couple of people, and not by the majority. I was somehow blinded by their influence ..but now i know better, this opinion is an isolated one, just very obsessively mediated. To those that have this obsession: LIVE WITH IT. 2) Chew, md has very clean code to deal with database and everything you need also without being logged in. email me if you have such questions. I am getting tired to see this drama perpetuating of what a mess md is code-wise. seriously, i had enough.

AWAITING first escape attempt,,

do we have anyone on creatures? (if i am not replying to you it means , no)

No one...seriously..if you will continue to write long posts with tech data i will start ignoring you totally, even see if there is a way to hide your posts so they wont bother me at all. I don't mean this to be insluting, i know you put a lot of effort in that, but your posts are absolutely unreadable for me. I had to use intuition and red 2-3 lines of what you wrote..thats all...i have no ideea what you said there, i hope the test results in the prison will be much shorter or i will have to do the test again with someone else. Please understand i am trying to improve our communication (or end it). pip, totally agree, you would be an average character to test this thing. so no one, do your best, then pip i take you there too and you see how much it will take you to do the same or similar.

this is a very good topic, Pip put it right. Also DD is right , i gave him A LOT of work to do -NO REWARD-. There will probably be a reward, but none promised, because it depends on him if he manages to do everything right till the end. So many more know this quite well, rewards in here are in fact more responsability and more work...it sounds sad...but i am only giving people what they appear to enjoy doing anyway. I am trying to shape this community not just let it grow chaotically...and for that people judge me. (btw, dst please share reasons you talk about) Also, think of this. Some of you know some of the reason for some of my "favors"..and you do realise others don't know them. So WHY is it so hard to believe and understand i have a reason for all that i do, but maybe you simply don't know it? When it comes to md i have a good instinct, and i use it. I have nothing to gain by giving favors to anyone...so think of it, i must have a reason to do it if there is nothing that could corrupt me. I do promote young energy and try to give more chances to people that appear to be more active, but i give high immunity to older players. This is a one time boost for new guys, to teach them how to fly. If they fall , its their problem. In fact, people that hunt my favors and look for things to blame, do more harm to md than me making one or the other person happy. You should try to be less jelous and think more from the perspective of the other person not just yours. (speaking about latest "favors", DD will kick your ass when you will see what this "favor" was about. All of you vets worked so hard for your reputation and abilities, but you became blind now and don't see that other people work hard too, but are not always nice obedient puppets you wished them to be)

Oh come on..then organizers should maybe get a medal of their own by default? Its not fair to exclude them...but its too risky to include them. Just saying.

Awesome. Add Armor items, combat abilities, crewture abilities. kyph will start posting a25 syntax docs soon, slowly we will establish a decent way to organize info. also i have the perfect way to test if you did a good job or not. In the end i will ask your help to assist me in adding one or an other thing in md from your section of features. you will be my collective memory..much much better than alzhaimer meds hahah:)
