Re: [Audyssey] command suggestions for Alteraeon
Hi Dentin. A general keyword "todo" filter for quests would be much appreciated. I'm loving all the different quests on Arcase, definitely far less of a drag or a grind fest than last time, and having to not have to sit through goodness knows how many done quests being read before I get to the next one on the list would be good indeed.

Re: [Audyssey] command suggestions for Alteraeon
Unfortunately, there's really no substitute for grep. Its one of those commands you should really learn to use, because it has so very many uses, in so many different situations. Personally, I'd say that grep is probably one of the most useful utility commands on the mud. Examples include things like: at a shop, list all | grep -i soul (displays all soulstones) leaderboard 2000 | grep -i (finds a person's position on a leaderboard, and displays only their name) clan storage list | grep piece of wood | wc (tells me how many deanimated wood woads are left in the clan storage locker) l in | grep heal | wc (I was using this last night in place of count to tell how many heal scrolls I'd successfully created) The uses of grep are so varied and many that I'm actually having trouble coming up with specific examples. If you're struggling with it, I'd highly recommend going over the helpfile with a fine-toothed comb, because it's most certainly time well spent. -- From: "dark" <d...@xgam.org> Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2016 21:39 To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] command suggestions for Alteraeon Thanks John.

I've had a lot of fun playing alter recently, doing quests on arcase (finding those ships in the archipelligo was a pest), however there are two things i was wondering if Dentin could consider adding. The first, is a way to review what quests on arcase I've yet to do? when I use "quests arcase" I get a huge! list with some done and some not. I know there is some sort of scripting workaround, but I never got that one to work, so something like "quests arcase todo" (or slo, kordan or anywhere else for that matter), would be really nice if possible. The second is an odd request. I generally don't like brief description mode since I enjoy the atmosphere of the game and reading about what is where, however there are occasions I want a quick brief view, for example when I'm looking for something or trying to see whether there is a given object there (like the ships or those earth totems in the tainted forest). Yes, I know I could just toggle brief on and off, but generally i want the full descriptions rather more often thatn the brief mode. One thing I've seen in some games was a glance command. This affectively gave a brief description, ie, just room title, objects and who's there, but without having the brief mode on, rather like the way the look command gives the long description in brief mode. As I aid, I'm probably more unusual in wanting the brief description less often than the verbose one, but there are times it'd be useful, and I assume it wouldn't be a hard fix to add the glance command or something similar. If everyone things this is a dreadful idea, fare enough, though I admit in some muds like six dragons I found I used it quite a lot. Really enjoying the game.

Re: [Audyssey] command suggestions for Alteraeon
Hi. That makes sense, though with agro mobs I just usually hit escape to shut the speech up when I get to a new location and wait to see if my minians jump on anything before reading the long description. I actually like long descriptions when walking around, otherwise I'd pretty much have to type look in every single room with a none agro mob which could get tiresome. The glance command is more what I'd like when looking for none agro mobs or objects, or just wanting a reminder of who is in a room when i've just done something else but don't want the full long description again.

When you turn brief on, using the look command on alter doesn't give you the long version. To do that, you leave brief mode turned off, and turn on autobrief. That way, when you walk, you get to skip long description so you can determine quickly if you might have blundered into a character who may or may not be aggressive for instance, and if you want the long description you just type l, and you'll get the long version. That's what I do. Generally speaking, when walking, in my opinion it's best not to have to listen to the long desc before you get to hear who' or what is in the room with you, so I would recommend using autobrief.

Re: [Audyssey] command suggestions for Alteraeon
Hi John. For some reason it never works for me, maybe it's all the punctuation, hence why it'd be nice if there was just a streight forward command such as quest location todo, actually I'm a little confused why there isn't given that there is a way to see what quests you've done :D.
