Riishaan Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've been in and out of the MDA library and at one point I swear I was able to access an alphabetical listing of items to read. At that time I didn't have the time to start going thru them, but now that I have time the Index no longer shows up. Is there a reason they would appear and then disappear?

Rendril Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 As with all clickables, it needs to be resubmitted every 14 days by someone with scripting access or it will not be visible. In the case of the book shelves which are public, anyone with script access can do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riishaan Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 So does this mean that someone needs to reset the bookshelves in order or me to see the contents again? My whole point behind this is, I'm looking for clues to interact with the loreroot guardians and I'm also working on "fyrds" quests and thought there might be clues to those as well in the library. I'm not even sure that there are clues and could be wasting my time. If nothign else I'll understand the world better. Riish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyrd Argentus Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 My clues are in the papers in the Study Room, not the books in the Index Room. Password "FyrdsWords". All four are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering why 1 day i could see an alphabetical lsiting of stuff in the indexed area and the next day it's like a non-scripted clickable. I've since been able to get into them so thanks for resetting .... I'm now 10 days awakened and still trying to figure out the simple trick to the loreroot guardians.

Kay Ingild Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 "As with all clickables, it needs to be resubmitted every 14 days" Is that why so many items all over the MD world are usually "Unusable item - nothing interesting here right now"?

Kay Ingild Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Could I ask roughly how many people have such editing rights? And could they be persuaded to "refresh" the items a bit more often? When I was a newly-joined player I tried to explore as much as I could, and discovering these "clickable" bits of the landscape was always exciting, until I realized that most of them were "Unusable". Not even flavour text Seemed like a wasted opportunity. Asterdai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just writing random rubbish on them is discouraged because it makes it harder for when someone makes a quest or useful interface with them. As to refreshing them, im sure if you contacted someone with clicky editing NICELY they would refresh whatever you asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asterdai Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) one problem is that each person can only script each clickable once (i mean can only haveone script at a time) id be happy to put up anything if you have a reason for it Edited December 29, 2010 by Asterdai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Ingild Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 That's just it; I have no reason for it, other than being tired of seeing "Unusable item" in so many places, and wanting to see some descriptions or suchlike instead. I am the kind of person who enjoys seeing the "random rubbish" that Chewett obviously dislikes I wasn't aware that it would actually get in the way of other more important things, so please consider this closed.

Root Admin Chewett Posted December 29, 2010 Root Admin Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Intresting different viewpoints i suppose. Im just tired of people putting random stuff in the clickables and when you are trying to do a quest where you use clickables and one of the main clickies you want to use is taken for something random, so you have to direct people to the specific clicky entry.

Rendril Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 If you don't direct them in some way they have to scour many clickables anyway, whether some of them have unrelated information or not won't change that. If anything I think it would make the search more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laphers Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Perhaps, instead of "Nothing interesting here right now" it could randomly grab one of the hints that currently appear in the triggers box. Once someone inserts something into a clickable it disables the hint and shows the contents of the clickable instead. That would make every clickable contain something that pertains directly to MD and doesn't interfere with clickable use.

Atrumist Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 In order not to make new topic necessarily I write here.

Atrumist Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yeah pictures on main page are OK, but try on this [url="http://md-archives.com/articles/engines-of-destruction.html?page=2"]link[/url] pls. I've opened this both on Chrome and Firefox, opened on RSS reader but nothing, the picture didn't show up. Maybe it is because I use linux, but I don't believe thats the problem. I'll try later in windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
