Idea Discussion on Final day of the MD 18th Birthday

[Chewett]

The discussion followed this: 

 

[06/05/23 00:19] Fyrd Argentus: (I will collect up the fragments and post a transcript of today's events.)
[06/05/23 00:20] Chewett:I can grab it from the DB if thats easier Fyrd
[06/05/23 00:20] Fyrd Argentus: (Your call. I do have time...)
[06/05/23 00:21] Chewett:No worries I shall grab it thanks Fyrd
[06/05/23 00:21] Chewett:It was a bit of an eclectic list of locations
[06/05/23 00:22] Fyrd Argentus: (Ok. I did take some notes...)
[06/05/23 00:22] Chewett:So yes, here and now I say, I need people, helpers, friends, etc!
[06/05/23 00:22] Chewett:I was going to say lovers but I already have Else and and Ledah here who can fulfil that criteria
[06/05/23 00:23] Blackshade Rider:Well I gladly offer my assistance
[06/05/23 00:23] Ledah:You can never have enough
[06/05/23 00:23] Aksel:help with what? something exact?
[06/05/23 00:24] Fyrd Argentus:step up the ladder of event creation?
[06/05/23 00:24] Fyrd Argentus:Making the realm a better place?
[06/05/23 00:25] jakubhi: *raises his hand* I can help with some events and creation
[06/05/23 00:25] Fyrd Argentus:Building networks and contacts and associations of friends?
[06/05/23 00:25] Blackshade Rider:To help better MD, help finishing things that A25 can do. Everything Fyrd said to
[06/05/23 00:26] Chewett:❤️
[06/05/23 00:26] Chewett:I'm going to be honest BR, if you really want to we will need to discuss this elsewhere because of the afformentioned abuse.
[06/05/23 00:27] Chewett:Otherwise people are free to suggest ideas, talk to each other, propose stuff on the forum (or elsewhere)
[06/05/23 00:27] Blackshade Rider:That's fair
[06/05/23 00:27] Chewett:If it needs sign off, I'm happy too
[06/05/23 00:27] Chewett:I'm actually quite excited about a project Fyrd is going to be working on
[06/05/23 00:27] Chewett:But thats super secret, and his one to speak of, not mine.
[06/05/23 00:28] Blackshade Rider:Maybe I'll be able to help him
[06/05/23 00:29] Fyrd Argentus: (I do need simple stories with about a half-dozen hurdles along the way, MD related but fantasy about character's early life okay too...)
[06/05/23 00:29] Blackshade Rider:But what you said is fair just port me wherever when you wish to speak about it
[06/05/23 00:29] Fyrd Argentus: (Less than a page per hurdle, please.)
[06/05/23 00:30] Chewett:Aksel/Jak If you have areas, quests, events, new features for MD, changes to things in MD, etc.
[06/05/23 00:30] Chewett:Everyone, here is the chance to speak them
[06/05/23 00:30] Blackshade Rider: (I'm not super great at stories but I try. Send me what you need in a story who ect in a forum pm and I can help maybe. Just let me know)
[06/05/23 00:30] Chewett:What should we change?
[06/05/23 00:30] Chewett:what should we keep the same?
[06/05/23 00:30] Chewett:Who shall we ban today *winks*
[06/05/23 00:30] Chewett:Who needs to be unbanned!
[06/05/23 00:31] Chewett:And don't you dear say the name of our saviour Mr Ledah
[06/05/23 00:31] Chewett:The one who starts with the P
[06/05/23 00:31] jakubhi:I have a few.. mildly wild ideas, if this is the time to unload them .. ?
[06/05/23 00:31] Chewett:If you want to!
[06/05/23 00:31] Blackshade Rider:I do also
[06/05/23 00:32] Fyrd Argentus: (even if you do, put them in Game Development > New Ideas on the forum...)
[06/05/23 00:32] Blackshade Rider:Jakubhi first
[06/05/23 00:32] Aksel:I'll reserve the place to go last due to mine juniority
[06/05/23 00:32] jakubhi:thanks rider
[06/05/23 00:32] :Ledah barely resists the urge
[06/05/23 00:32] jakubhi:so, two main ideas
[06/05/23 00:32] jakubhi:both with GWI
[06/05/23 00:33] jakubhi:the first idea was about a communication between the GWI and Mainland
[06/05/23 00:33] Fyrd Argentus: (verbal or physical?)
[06/05/23 00:33] jakubhi:from a certain scene in Mainland, you could speak to certain scene in GWI, and back
[06/05/23 00:34] jakubhi:through some medium, a totem of sorts
[06/05/23 00:34] Sunfire: [Spoiler: long live P.feet!]
[06/05/23 00:34] jakubhi:you know, how a medium summons ghosts?
[06/05/23 00:34] jakubhi:we could offer some advice to the newbies without being on GWI
[06/05/23 00:35] jakubhi:Communication with other players is something that is missing there.
[06/05/23 00:35] :Ledah blesses Sunfire
[06/05/23 00:35] jakubhi:So, I think it is balanced. There is still a barrier between GWI and Mainland, but it is not wholy isolated
[06/05/23 00:35] jakubhi:that was my first idea
[06/05/23 00:36] Chewett:So on that
[06/05/23 00:36] Fyrd Argentus: (brainstorming, chewie...)
[06/05/23 00:37] Chewett:GWI needs some changes IMO, I ran a few people through it, people who actually make games for a living and got goood feefback
[06/05/23 00:37] Chewett:The lack of communication is one point we need to address, I like the idea
[06/05/23 00:37] Chewett:I’m not sure how it would work in practice, but a cool idea
[06/05/23 00:37] Chewett:Does anyone else want to say anything before we hear the second?
[06/05/23 00:37] Blackshade Rider: (I have a similar idea on that but slightly different )
[06/05/23 00:38] Aksel:that's exactly why it's not being done in other games, to make a hard isolation of entry area
[06/05/23 00:38] Chewett:If anyone is also eligible for medals, please send me a PM
[06/05/23 00:39] Fyrd Argentus:LHO's used to serve this function.
[06/05/23 00:39] Blackshade Rider:One of my ideas was a bit similar. I was going to say a world chat per lands. NML and gateway world chats connected so that the vets usually online in NML can communicate
[06/05/23 00:39] Aksel:lack of ORGANIC presence of other seasoned players makes hugely negative impact to newcommers
[06/05/23 00:40] Fyrd Argentus:Could just open the gateway between them - days limit to leave GWI intact.
[06/05/23 00:40] Aksel:when ever IRL I joined anything, each time new people judged it according to presence/amount of seasoned folk
[06/05/23 00:40] Chewett:The problem with just opening GWI is that it protects some rewards, we would need to move them but I agree we need more activity there
[06/05/23 00:41] Fyrd Argentus:Or put a days limit on those GWI rewards. Or MP.
[06/05/23 00:41] Aksel:people are attracted to liveliness, instictively and evolutionary
[06/05/23 00:42] Blackshade Rider:Suggestions on that I was wondering about the mp2s used to be around. Mp3 and 4 could attack them right? Could we make dummy accounts that are always online to make appearance of liveliness and also so these players can gain the wins and losses they need when no other mp3 or 4 is around
[06/05/23 00:42] Aksel:where ever you want to have newb area, you would want to make it a reason for seasoned players to have it as MAIN hub
[06/05/23 00:43] Blackshade Rider:But they won't disappear like they used to
[06/05/23 00:43] Aksel:appearance doesn't matter, it has to be real. if you build on npcs then you have a single player game with a chat lobby
[06/05/23 00:44] Blackshade Rider:It's more so to help with the issue that mp3s and 4s have huge problems advancing due to lack of their mind stage player base
[06/05/23 00:44] Blackshade Rider:Mp7s aren't around to do so
[06/05/23 00:45] Blackshade Rider:I'm unsure if mp6 can attack doesn't seem so
[06/05/23 00:45] jakubhi: (going to switch to phone brb)
[06/05/23 00:45] Fyrd Argentus:I made the GWI doorbell so vets could rush to their alts on GWI.
[06/05/23 00:45] Fyrd Argentus:It's not happening.
[06/05/23 00:45] Fyrd Argentus: (MP6 attacks MP6 or allied)
[06/05/23 00:45] Fyrd Argentus: (if themselves allied)
[06/05/23 00:46] Blackshade Rider: (That's fine I'm not big on fighting it's my point that even if a vet can go to gateway freely they need to have a dummy account.)
[06/05/23 00:46] Chewett:Aksel has a good point but some of the tutorial can work automatically.
[06/05/23 00:47] Chewett:It’s a good series of points, the on topic ones
[06/05/23 00:47] Chewett:What was your second idea?
[06/05/23 00:47] Aksel:regarding the combat, best would be to allow everybody to attack anybody regardless of mp level, however there would have to be some heat restrictions if mp level progress are to be preserved
[06/05/23 00:47] Chewett:Thats my eventual goal
[06/05/23 00:47] Blackshade Rider: (More so stat restrictions)
[06/05/23 00:47] Chewett:But I need to work out a good mechanism to stop the imbalances causing issues for the newer accounts
[06/05/23 00:48] Aksel:or maybe just best to make everybody start a mp5
[06/05/23 00:48] Aksel:alright, pleace continue jacob
[06/05/23 00:48] Blackshade Rider:I remember that being a thought once
[06/05/23 00:48] jakubhi:Alright
[06/05/23 00:49] Lazarus:The only way to do that in the past was to join an alliance, and some MP3's grew out to be a "monster"
[06/05/23 00:49] jakubhi:So, the second idea was about the journey to gwi from mainland
[06/05/23 00:50] Lazarus:I just recently found out that MP3's can no longer join all8ances
[06/05/23 00:50] Aksel: (I nominate myself for Crown medal because I'm the king of the newbs obviously)
[06/05/23 00:50] jakubhi:Basically, to create a trip by boat on the sea
[06/05/23 00:51] jakubhi:Between the lighthouse in GG and the habour at GWI. I believe something similar was already planned
[06/05/23 00:52] jakubhi:There was even the lighthouse reconstruction, made a few drawings even, but it somehow.. Got stuck
[06/05/23 00:52] jakubhi:But the odea is to make the journey itself fun
[06/05/23 00:52] Blackshade Rider:Yeah the lighthouse project was rophs
[06/05/23 00:52] jakubhi:*idea
[06/05/23 00:53] Blackshade Rider:There is a boat on gateway that will take you to the mainland when you repair it
[06/05/23 00:53] Blackshade Rider:But I heard that scene was closed
[06/05/23 00:53] jakubhi:So, you do not only do it to gwi, but mostly for the activities that could be done on the boat scene.
[06/05/23 00:54] jakubhi:Fishing, maybe some repeatable events
[06/05/23 00:54] Fyrd Argentus:I like it.
[06/05/23 00:54] jakubhi:It is just a basic idea, this is mostly what I have thought of it so far
[06/05/23 00:55] Chewett:Fishing could be great as part of the economy No one dreamed of
[06/05/23 00:55] Chewett:And MaGoHi
[06/05/23 00:56] Fyrd Argentus: (Hey, minimal artwork for series of ocean sites....)
[06/05/23 00:56] Blackshade Rider:So hunting basically. Cause fishing in a way is a form of hunting
[06/05/23 00:57] jakubhi:The start would obviously be the repair of lighthouse. But that could be fun to do even if we do not manage to progress to that boat trip
[06/05/23 00:57] Blackshade Rider:That would be cool. Can make the gear needed craftable items
[06/05/23 00:57] jakubhi:A big quest to gather resources, provide drawings, something so everyone could joim
[06/05/23 00:58] Fyrd Argentus:Not obvious... there are boats on GWI.
[06/05/23 00:58] Chewett:The lighthouse project just became stuck with Rophs and a few others, they stopped playing so it just stopped. I asked a few times if I could continue it but they didn't reply, so I guess that means I can
[06/05/23 00:58] Fyrd Argentus:Sorry, on GG.
[06/05/23 00:58] Blackshade Rider:And magohi is the bacon king. So I just feel the need to say, we need some wild boars
[06/05/23 00:58] Chewett:So actually I do have a big project to bring in some stuff, I was planning it for this birthday, but the afformentioned reasons meant I didn't actually have time to deploy it
[06/05/23 00:58] Chewett:But I am thinking to do that for the Summer
[06/05/23 01:00] Chewett:Does anyone have any further comments on that?
[06/05/23 01:00] Blackshade Rider:I don't at this time
[06/05/23 01:01] Aksel:hmm
[06/05/23 01:01] Aksel:thing is, you can't have lighthouse repair as a repeatable quest
[06/05/23 01:02] Chewett:No, but it’s world building
[06/05/23 01:02] Aksel:that yes
[06/05/23 01:02] jakubhi: (that would be one time, for a longer period, sort of public quest)
[06/05/23 01:03] jakubhi: (the repeatable could be on the board if it is really created)
[06/05/23 01:03] jakubhi: (a new way to die, crash the ship hehe)
[06/05/23 01:03] Fyrd Argentus:Well, the lighthouse COULD fall down repeatedly, like that castle of Arthurian legend.
[06/05/23 01:04] Chewett:A yearly rebuild!
[06/05/23 01:04] Aksel:that would just create a retarted precedence
[06/05/23 01:05] Aksel:oak fort bridge.....
[06/05/23 01:05] Blackshade Rider:Can have yearly wars among lands
[06/05/23 01:05] Chewett:What did I say about be kind please Aksel
[06/05/23 01:05] Chewett:People are raising ideas, don’t use t
[06/05/23 01:05] Blackshade Rider:Winner is claimed the ruling land of MD?
[06/05/23 01:05] Chewett:Use unkind words to them please
[06/05/23 01:06] :Aksel nods
[06/05/23 01:06] Blackshade Rider:But could be the reasons the lighthouse needs rebuild every year
[06/05/23 01:07] jakubhi: (lets first try to build it first and see about the rebuilds later)
[06/05/23 01:07] Aksel:if you spin it as regular maintenance it could eventually lead to lighthouse keeper role
[06/05/23 01:07] Blackshade Rider:And nothing wrong with that
[06/05/23 01:07] Aksel:that's how it should go
[06/05/23 01:08] Chewett:Well, certainly thats how you think it should go! But what happens when the once yearly Storm of all Storms!
[06/05/23 01:08] Chewett:Its been known to take chunks out of the lighthouse...
[06/05/23 01:09] :jakubhi coughs weather storm spell coughs
[06/05/23 01:10] Aksel:my point was just that it ain't made in a way where it collapses every few hours/days and scenario of every-man-for-himself per his need for it in rebuilding it
[06/05/23 01:11] Aksel:that it has a relevant permanence
[06/05/23 01:11] jakubhi: (I though about the rebuilding as a group effort)
[06/05/23 01:11] jakubhi: (either it is up for everyone or noone)
[06/05/23 01:14] Chewett:I think that’s a fair set of comments
[06/05/23 01:14] Chewett:Any final comments on that before I find some medals?
[06/05/23 01:15] Blackshade Rider:A fighting tutorial so that the fighting system is more understanding to players
[06/05/23 01:16] Blackshade Rider:Some vets even to this day don't really fully understand it
[06/05/23 01:16] Aksel:combat is imaginary anyway
[06/05/23 01:16] Blackshade Rider:It's more than imagery
[06/05/23 01:16] Chewett:Sorry I'm not sure how a fighting tutorial fits in with a lighthouse?
[06/05/23 01:16] Chewett:You are suggesting we need a fighting tutorial once we have rebuilt it? Inside it?
[06/05/23 01:16] Chewett:I am unclear
[06/05/23 01:17] Blackshade Rider:Oh no no. Entire different subject chew. Sorry I didn't know your comment was for the lighthouse subject
[06/05/23 01:17] Aksel:hahahaa Chew's politeness is legendary
[06/05/23 01:18] Blackshade Rider:Wasn't paying full attention
[06/05/23 01:18] Else:I am more oriented towards try and error for combat .....
[06/05/23 01:19] Chewett:Generally I think people refer to me as a "Fucking rude RAT ass minger" Aksel
[06/05/23 01:19] Chewett:My politeness is not really a quality anyone feels I have
[06/05/23 01:19] Fyrd Argentus:It is a puzzle that gives tangible rewards.
[06/05/23 01:19] Chewett:FRAM for short, thats me *winks*
[06/05/23 01:19] Blackshade Rider:And here I thought the past was the past and we were working past it but ok
[06/05/23 01:19] Aksel:what is minger?
[06/05/23 01:20] Chewett:Right, lets read my messages *rifles through his letters*
[06/05/23 01:20] jakubhi:Medails time, yay
[06/05/23 01:21] Chewett:Oh no BR, I'm just saying what people call me, don't worry! Feel free to send any apologies via PM if you want, as I said we have things to discuss if you want to work together.
[06/05/23 01:22] Chewett:tacitamuta <

[06/05/23 01:29] Aksel:We might have a mute epidemics in the realm, we should issue masks
[06/05/23 01:29] Dracoloth: *Nods to Aksel* I'm normally deep in Loreroot
[06/05/23 01:30] Aksel:oh hey nice to meet you mate, yes I see you napping in ravenhold all the time

[06/05/23 01:32] Aksel: (didn't notice, but it would be a lovely name for an alt if I ever make one)

[06/05/23 01:43] Aksel:what are prerequisites for lucky?
[06/05/23 01:43] jakubhi: (good night everyone)
[06/05/23 01:43] Fyrd Argentus: (night)
[06/05/23 01:43] Dracoloth:I still don't know what the prerequisites for any of them are
[06/05/23 01:44] Aksel:well good point
[06/05/23 01:44] Aksel:Luck:-58 (-86.21 + 25 + 4)
[06/05/23 01:45] Aksel:I'm unlucky, and seek to change my circumstances... so yeah
[06/05/23 01:46] Chewett:How did that happen?
[06/05/23 01:46] Aksel:jail tourism
[06/05/23 01:47] Blackshade Rider:My luck is 28 lol
[06/05/23 01:47] Fyrd Argentus: (I could help Aksel with that...)
[06/05/23 01:47] Chewett:Would you like a fix Aksel?
[06/05/23 01:47] Fyrd Argentus: (give him back 100. At least he didn't die from it...)
[06/05/23 01:48] Aksel:Chew, I had this idea. You see I would like to make a clicky that would act as a library of sorts that would be fully public. I wonder if it would be possible to do with mdscript if one had access?
[06/05/23 01:48] Else:is the lucky medal even tied to the luck skill?
[06/05/23 01:48] Aksel:I wouldn't mind it a bit fixed
[06/05/23 01:49] Dracoloth:My guess would be no Else
[06/05/23 01:49] Fyrd Argentus:Aksel, there used to be such, but it was lost with server changes. There was discussion of how to revive it. But... it points to the internet.
[06/05/23 01:50] Else:probably not, otherwise I might be murdering mosses xD
[06/05/23 01:50] Fyrd Argentus:Easiest way is I or A25 gets file from you, then posts it on a clickie somewhere. Or an mdscript user could put it on a clickie.
[06/05/23 01:50] Aksel:I mean it falls down only on the question of how much data can be put in a container, since we are talking about huge text walls
[06/05/23 01:51] Chewett:All fixed Aksel
[06/05/23 01:51] Aksel:Thanks
[06/05/23 01:51] Fyrd Argentus:How many pages are you thinking of?
[06/05/23 01:51] Chewett:We were using Wordpress to hold articles originally
[06/05/23 01:52] Fyrd Argentus:Note: shed at bug gardens has several "reference books" you can check out, but they are short.
[06/05/23 01:52] Aksel:hmm
[06/05/23 01:52] Chewett:Black shade did you not have something you wanted to put forward?
[06/05/23 01:52] Aksel:I don't want it to be outside embedet
[06/05/23 01:54] Fyrd Argentus:So, as I said. And your capacity question is valid.
[06/05/23 01:54] Blackshade Rider:As in Ideas?
[06/05/23 01:54] Aksel:basically it should be like a paper, actually like a scene-tied k doc, just not a kdoc, there would be no limit to the amount of publishings
[06/05/23 01:54] Fyrd Argentus:Small number of pages, no problem. Small number of books, no.
[06/05/23 01:55] :Else plunders ☻2 heads by attacking Lazarus
[06/05/23 01:55] Blackshade Rider:At the moment no
[06/05/23 01:55] Blackshade Rider: (cooking)
[06/05/23 01:57] Fyrd Argentus:Aksel, do you have something specific to publish? Really would handle this on a case-by-case basis.
[06/05/23 01:57] Aksel:not yet
[06/05/23 01:58] Dracoloth:I think the idea might be that anyone could contribute to it.
[06/05/23 01:58] Fyrd Argentus:Grab me when you do.
[06/05/23 01:58] Fyrd Argentus:Always happy to help.
[06/05/23 01:58] Dracoloth:Which I think is not possible
[06/05/23 01:58] Aksel:yes, basically
[06/05/23 01:58] Dracoloth:Would need to be a new feature
[06/05/23 01:59] Fyrd Argentus:Guys, I did exactly that for day of the dead a year ago. Contributions were one-line memorials though.
[06/05/23 01:59] Fyrd Argentus:Test of a thing called scene-based MDscript.
[06/05/23 01:59] Dracoloth:Manually or automatically?
[06/05/23 01:59] Fyrd Argentus:Automatic.
[06/05/23 01:59] Fyrd Argentus:You enter your contribution, it appears.
[06/05/23 02:00] Fyrd Argentus:You enter profanity and the GM's shut it down.
[06/05/23 02:00] Fyrd Argentus:Or at least that is what happened.
[06/05/23 02:00] Fyrd Argentus:Feeding jokes to the Muffin Man I have to screen.
[06/05/23 02:00] Chewett:Did it?
[06/05/23 02:00] Aksel:That's why it should have a curatorial presence ....
[06/05/23 02:01] Fyrd Argentus:Yes, Chew. Got more jokers than serious memorials.
[06/05/23 02:01] Fyrd Argentus:Actually the file just dissappeared, not the code.
[06/05/23 02:01] Chewett:Ah, Mur shut it down?
[06/05/23 02:01] Aksel:or maybe it wouldn't, since I don't consider it to be different than personal papers
[06/05/23 02:02] Aksel:submission would be signed/identified with submitter
[06/05/23 02:02] Dracoloth:Yeah I'm not sure why it would be shut down for that when we have personal papers
[06/05/23 02:02] Dracoloth:Seems like the same thing
[06/05/23 02:02] Fyrd Argentus:Maybe it was just a digital fluke and I ascribed a higher hand at work.
[06/05/23 02:03] Fyrd Argentus:... therefore I shut it down rather than restart.
[06/05/23 02:03] Dracoloth:Were the postings anonymous? If they were that could be why
[06/05/23 02:03] Chewett:I didn’t shut it down, I doubt Mur did…
[06/05/23 02:04] Dracoloth:Probably a tech fluke then
[06/05/23 02:04] Fyrd Argentus:I still have a private set-up somewhere, I could check.
[06/05/23 02:05] Fyrd Argentus:Back. They were posted anonymously.
[06/05/23 02:05] Fyrd Argentus:But, they didn't have to be.
[06/05/23 02:05] Fyrd Argentus:Same code still live at my test site, displaying very old data.
[06/05/23 02:05] Aksel:that's cool
[06/05/23 02:06] Aksel:now question is.... max size of submission possible, what's the limit?
[06/05/23 02:07] Fyrd Argentus:Size of text entry box right now.
[06/05/23 02:08] Fyrd Argentus:Obviously could do more a line at a time.
[06/05/23 02:08] Aksel:how many chars, what is db field designation? mediumtext?
[06/05/23 02:08] Dracoloth:So not very long
[06/05/23 02:08] Fyrd Argentus:I don't have access to such deep coding.
[06/05/23 02:08] Fyrd Argentus:I could test.
[06/05/23 02:08] Fyrd Argentus:brb
[06/05/23 02:09] Aksel:no I didn't mean your thingy but a mdscript limitation
[06/05/23 02:10] Fyrd Argentus:Oh
[06/05/23 02:10] Fyrd Argentus:This is a very long message to test the size of the text entry box for MDScript so I will run on and on and on as if this was still working. I hope it is, I don't really know.
[06/05/23 02:10] Fyrd Argentus:That text I was able to enter.
[06/05/23 02:10] Dracoloth:Yeah
[06/05/23 02:10] Fyrd Argentus:MDScript can be pages of code - much like php.
[06/05/23 02:11] :[Spell] I want to remember this
[06/05/23 02:12] Fyrd Argentus:I have built labyrinths that crashed the system because they were open-ended. Successful with hundred sites at least.
[06/05/23 02:12] Dracoloth:I think the idea of a public Kdoc without limitations attached to a location would make more sense than trying to hack it into mdscript
[06/05/23 02:12] Chewett:It sounds like you just want to have a document creation system
[06/05/23 02:12] Chewett:I can imagine that kind of thing
[06/05/23 02:13] Aksel:yes, that's a good description
[06/05/23 02:13] Chewett:I have actually some plans around this, I might be able to knock something together this weekend
[06/05/23 02:13] Dracoloth:Yeah I think that's the way to do that type of thing
[06/05/23 02:13] Chewett:It fits into a few things I haven't announced
[06/05/23 02:13] Aksel:oh?
[06/05/23 02:13] Chewett:Well, they are unannounced
[06/05/23 02:14] :Dracoloth chuckles
[06/05/23 02:15] Chewett:I will see what I can do this weekend
[06/05/23 02:15] Fyrd Argentus:Well, I'm getting ready for a nap.
[06/05/23 02:15] Chewett:Night!
[06/05/23 02:15] Chewett:I need to sleep too
[06/05/23 02:15] Chewett:Will post logs tomorrow
[06/05/23 02:15] Fyrd Argentus:Hope to continue see y'all around much.
[06/05/23 02:15] Aksel:night
[06/05/23 02:16] Fyrd Argentus:bye!
[06/05/23 02:16] Aksel:I was just checking mds manual on forum and haven't seen it mention anything about how it's stored in db
[06/05/23 02:16] Aksel:size limits or what not
