I don't know if I am missing something, but I was wondering if there is a setting to choose where the stormfront window will close such as it did in the Wizard. Another idea I had was a button in the Stormfront window somewhere that would automatically log you back in after you type exit.

Finally, just want to say that I really like SF a lot, and thanks to all people that worked with it, and made it nice and sleek.

With the release of DR2, would it be possible to collect all the SF-related message boards in one place? The way it's done for eScape would be a good idea, so we can have a bug board, an announcements board, a discussion board, a questions/help board, and a scripting board.

>>I know there was a post on this somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Is there anyway in Stormfront to brief gweth messaging in the thoughts window?

I believe the answer was "Not yet."

I know Natala has addressed the issue of compressed thoughts when the Thoughts window is open. Is something similar on the plate for deaths and arrivals?

Here's what I like about it...

Health, mana, fatigue, and spirit bars... percentile coverage of these crucial items right on screen.
Inventory list window... yes there's inventory right on screen finally, no more typing inv every 5 seconds
RT indicator on the command line... 'nuff said, you can watch RT and type at the same time.

if that isn't enough to switch to stormfront, I don't know what is

I like StormFront myself. It's got a few quirks of course. You dont autosneak if hidden like you could do with the wizard. And you dont have a drag option like either. IMO that's a small matter.

Also if you dont like the way SF looks you can go to: http://soldoursoultoplay.net/stormfrontfess.htm and download a different skin. I personally like Windreaper's skins.

I find the health, mana, and fatigue bars on the bottom I use all the time.

>>but I wasn't sure if the new Stormfront was integrated into the game in some fashion where if I didn't use it then I would miss out on various ingame features or some such.

Well one thing is when you type bug, you get a pop up box which is nice for filling out bug reports.

Ahhhh, thanks a lot Natala! I'll probably make the switch to Stormfront in a few weeks when I'm feeling more comfortable with the game again.

Any time someone 'arrives' I'm taken out of rest mode.

>[Leaving rest mode.]
Sympath Liport's group just arrived.

>[Leaving rest mode.]
Homerius just arrived.


Another example

>[Leaving rest mode.]
Liport closes his eyes for a moment and grows still.
Liport is stunned!

I have stunned highlighted red, should that make a difference.

This...seems to have stopped happening as I typed this. Weird.

While I'm posting...commands sent via script also pull you out of restmode. This isn't as big a deal. ::grins::

R>[Entering rest mode - press any key to resume.]
R>[Leaving rest mode.]
You put your instructions in your grey backpack.

R>[Entering rest mode - press any key to resume.]
R>[Leaving rest mode.]
You carefully make another fold in your paper.
Roundtime: 10 sec.

Victory by any means necessary.

Alt+(number) switches to the macro sets. Alt+1 is set 1, etc. Alt+0 switches to default.

I suggested the experience window way back when SF was in dev, and Maelona took note of it. Seeing as she's gone now, I don't know where her list of things has gone, but with any luck it's at least on the backburner

-Durnil

What about a window that we could dump the experience info into when we type EXP?I mean instead of taking up half my story window i could type exp and eliminate alot of the clutter from the action

<<And then write a script that constantly does a put exp. <ducks>>

Haha that's funny.

You hear the distant echo of a savage Horde snarling in barbaric disapproval of your deeds.

>>It doesn't really need to be current. Once every 15 seconds or so would be fine. That's much less frequent than the room window is updated. (Which is updated what like once every second or two due to bugs)

As I havn't done any testing, take what I say worth a grain of salt, but it probably only updates there is a change in the room inventory, or people in the room, which if there is nothing going on in the room, it can not update for a looong while. This vs what some people were asking, or seemed to be asking for, which is an update everytime a bits are added to the pool, or bits are converted, which can wind up being multiple times a second for a large number of people(those in combat) and worst case scenerio for those draining, once every 20 seconds(IIRC).

<<The room window updates every second or two even when nothing in the room changes. It just sends duplicate messages over and over. Experience window seems very viable if it's only updated once every 15 seconds.

In Combat I probably check my own experience atleast once every 10 seconds if not more. Right now I am running a script and it checks exp once every 10 seconds. So once every 15 seconds would be less than my personal norm. But I guess if it updates every player's exp that is logged in every 15 seconds it might get alittle busy at times.....but really it shouldn't with the size of the usual population.

I type experience constantly.I could set up a script.I really just wanted that info Dumped into a different window to eliminate scroll.I dont see how it makes a difference if i hit my macro every 15 seconds or if the game does it for me.

I really never thought i would here myself say this but here goes........AMEN SOIM

Not sure if this one is a known bug or not, but I noticed it tonight.

Basically, if a highlighted item has an apostrophe in the name, it will disrupt the highlight, and the Room window will treat the item as not having a specific custom highlight.

Examples:

Highlight for " ironwood-hafted hhr'ata " will not be processed.
Highlight for " ironwood-hafted hhr' " will not be processed.
Highlight for " ironwood-hafted hhr " will be processed. However, if you use the "ignore case", "entire paragraph" and/or "match partial word" options, the apostrophe and characters after that will not be highlighted.

The highlight works fine for the item in the Story window, including if you use the LOOK verb. The highlights are also properly processed in the STOWed container windows. However, the custom highlight will not work in the room window, whereas other highlights sans apostrophe are working properly.

I've tested and duplicated this bug with "a ironwood-hafted hhr'ata", "a piece of hhr'lav'geluhh bark", and "a Be'ort tear rose", the only items with apostrophes I have with me.

I see a yellow exclamation mark in the corner when I'm stunned. The same as eScape, if I recall.

Khentimentiu chuckles.
Heiu says, "I said it on your behalf"

>Hrm. Well I just stunned myself with a bad prediction and got nothing. Don't find myself stunned very often, so I don't know why that would be.

Skull predictions probably don't set the stunned status correctly. I've definitely seen the stun indicator before, and I seem to recollect not seeing one from predictions.

Ok then, I'd like to see THAT fixed.
