Tired of having someone take point and not have a whiner?
Tired of being a tank and being unable to use your 3l33t skillz because you don’t want to lag your whiner?
Then you might enjoy this feature.
New Command: autoreport
After each combat round or after each heal, you will report your status if you gained or lost HP.
New Command argument: report
This sets the amount of hp that must be either lost or gained since the last report in order for a report to be sent.
Enjoy!
Let me be the first to say - thank you!
As requested - on the next reboot, the auto reporter will tell you:
You report xxx/xxxhp yyy/yyyma zzz/zzzmv
Rather than just:
You report your status.
Dude that sounds awesome, thanks! Also means a static whine message for all tanks, which will make the healbots very happy LOL!
@Jake: Can you bold it or make it a bright color by default or something though, so it doesn’t get lost in spam?
@Everyone: Do we need to have mv in there? or even mana for that matter? Thoughts?
my recommendation - set it on 40 or 50 delta hp.. unless you’re a teeny weeny widdle tanky.
good work sir…
I suspect that there might be more tanks in the future…
I might even make one someday.

now that’s just crazy talk ;)
Top Marks to you Mr Jake.
Oustanding sir. Flat out Fantastic. thank you.
Wow, thanks Jake.
Can finally stop putting off making a whiner :)
Yea, actually the plan is to make it bright white if your lit and leave it the same as it is now if you’re dead…err i mean not lit. Maybe i’ll get that done tonight or tomorrow.

Sweet that makes sense, thanks.. or maybe bright red if not lit or something?
Also, any thoughts on removing mv from it, and maybe mana.. would be interested in anyone else’s thoughts on that (for or against) - tanks don’t usually have mana displayed in their whiner, and never seen a whiner have mvs.. no biggie, but might distract healers from seeing at the hp, which is really what the whiner is there for.
:)
note (disclaimer): this is not a complaint, just constructive ideas - just in case some have problems discerning the difference lol…
why not just add an option for it in color set? and while we’re on options, allow us to add/remove components like we do with prompt
“you’re dead. d-e-d. dead” -clown –> spawn
..allow us to add/remove components like we do with prompt[/quote:22n4odo2]
healobots won’t like that idea snicker
here’s what I whine, never had any complaints.. yet
gain hp, lite down:
You grouptell: ‘[b:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2]::[/color:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2] lite([/color:22n4odo2]DOWN[/color:22n4odo2])[/color:22n4odo2]……[/color:22n4odo2] hp 1128 / 1128 ……/color:22n4odo2[/color:22n4odo2] ……[/color:22n4odo2]need 0[/b:22n4odo2]’
lose hp, lite up:
You grouptell: ‘[b:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2]::[/color:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2] lite([/color:22n4odo2]UP[/color:22n4odo2])[/color:22n4odo2]……[/color:22n4odo2] hp 1057 / 1128 ……/color:22n4odo2[/color:22n4odo2] ……[/color:22n4odo2]need 71[/b:22n4odo2]’
..
.. also when I get down to like 100hp, a bright red ‘[b:22n4odo2]CRITICAL[/color:22n4odo2][/b:22n4odo2]’ gets tacked on the end..
a round of applause for jakeo
wat weasel said:)
-sa-
btw when is autorescue cmin out?:)

Mvs will be great for small groups, especially 2-man stab/grip and blast (anything to save a key stroke). And a dead tank that last reports a boat load of mana is always good for a chuckle.
i think weasel is hitting then nail on the head. if its not to much of a bother those little additions would be a great addition.
this is dire news indeed
newbs gonna be stupider since them dont need anymore programming whiner themselves

I’ll be glad to help you over ICQ if you need a hand Yasik :D
Very Cool Idea..
–Whiff / Q
So Jake, can I get your address so I can know where to send the ’thank you’ keg and strippers? Maybe we can make the autostab obselete next.
Luv,

Two small ideas for consideration…
- How about a ‘dispel fly’ spell? I know there are potions… But having fly up in a no fly zone is a real pain in the butt, not much you can do about it, other than wait it out, phase door, or dispel self… which can cost a lot of mana in respells. Or even better make ‘dispel magic’ a targetted spell… ie…
cast ‘dispel magic’ weasel aegis
( X) ( x ) :twisted:
This spell would be cool cause, then I could dispel my stone skin before an epic battle, in which I shifted… only to realise it has 60 seconds left!
- Also, is there any real point to hiding dam/hit and regen in score at lower levels… it might be the way it’s always been… but… Can’t it be calculated anyways? It’s just a pain…
Or maybe I should state this more plainly…
Dear Mr Jake,
I’d love to see the +hit/dam statistic on my perm valker with the cool items I have! :twisted:

sub your prompt or score to see your hit and dam..
I’m sure you smart enough to calc it so just sub it in there and be happy.
can we get this fixed?
Cowslip the eudaemon reports 319/319 hp. Need: 0. Spells: none.
would be nice to know mana again :)

[/quote:molvpsf8]
I’ve long thought this was a good idea. I’d make it a mage avatar skill, advanced mysteries of magic or something. I mean if a thief can identify a spell on another pc and steal it, it would only make sense that a mage could accomplish the same thing on him or her self.
Posted already as bug ingame:
The command argument: [i:1prvdeop]report
Love the autoreport now the way it is bold etc, and as a suggestion just to make the value itself a little easier to see in group spam, could you add a couple of spaces between the current hp, the forwardslash, and the max hp please, now that I’ve seen it in action?
ie: [i:1prvdeop]Sa reports [b:1prvdeop]577/1266[/b:1prvdeop]hp. Change:….[/i:1prvdeop]
change to: [i:1prvdeop]Sa reports .[/color:1prvdeop] [b:1prvdeop]577 [/b:1prvdeop]/[b:1prvdeop] 1266[/b:1prvdeop] .[/color:1prvdeop] hp. Change:….[/i:1prvdeop]
or something like that, just to make those numbers stand out a bit more, would be much appreciated. Maybe bold the ’needed’ value too?
Cheers.
oop just saw it changed again to bright yellow :) nice.
Still the spaces suggested would be helpful I think.
It was mentioned earlier to see mana that eudaemon’s have, but when i’m runnin’ with wraiths - keeping tabs on their moves is vitals.
Can we make pets report like they did in the past?
Nice Jake. clap
Can we also please make the reporter not override the color setup if you have colors off ?
I dont use colors and it buggs me how reporter, and then the next line without a break becomes yellow when i have mud colors off!
Thanks!

I would second that!

As of last reboot, they now are… at least if I send ‘report’ it has the info.. ie:
command ‘report’ gives:
You report 1111/1133 hp. Need: 22. 377/423 ma. 231/278 mv.
autoreport gives:
You report 1107/1133 hp. Change: +6. Need: 26. Spells: none.
report value still not sticking.
added a trigger in the meantime
^Welcome to the land of Sloth III. May your visit here be... Interesting.$
send “report 40”

bump - report setting still not sticking thru logoff/ons.. will it ever?
Can u pls make people stop asking me to use the autoreporter? Mine is prettier. :)
heh, yeah so’s mine, imho.. but being able to cast / broadside / bash etc without lagging the whiner ..that outweighs the prettiness factor by a mile :)
Problem now is that my coded whiner is so entwined with the rest of my client script, that I might end up recoding my client from scratch. lol. Perhaps long overdue anyway - there’s 7 years of accumulated bits and pieces in there, some of it no doubt several years redundant.
U could put your whiner in a separate group and just turn the group on/off as you need it.
I use this feature a lot in .net
nods - I use MUSHclient, but can do something similar either as groups or as a plugin instead.. just trying to follow where it hooks in to so many other things though, and vice versa.
Hey, Jake you never gave me the address of where to send the Kegs and Strippers with thanks for the New Feature: Autoreport. Get back to me on that.
