It just drives me crazy when people have no faith in people they are counting on to get the job done....I been programming for years ...Some people just don't have patience and think you type a few words and the program starts finish programming itself.

Seriously? TA is a text based game. do you ...

1 word = Copyrights

I knew this new TA would either bomb or not come about at all. 1 year and counting - I could have had a new TA out in 2 - 4 weeks on my own easily.

POST - It's called freedom of speech, deal with it.

MUHAHAHA - your reply was so pathetic and your sense of reality is so distorted. I'm sticking to my original statement - I'm done with this conversation - you can't argue with insanity because it's too far from sanity.

battleweb

no you threw the fit, you made the suggestion, i said no, then you kept on and on about it

Let's take a step back - initially I brought up how heartstones did not work with monsters in room or during combat, I thought that was an over sight and I reported it as such, you wrote back saying it was ...

Also, I'm sure you will want to argue that the BBS crashing from a bug is not a BBS vulnerability but rather the product of a bug so here is what wikipedia has to say about computing vulnerability:

In computer security, the term vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a ...

battleweb

there are no Game -> BBS vulnerabilities as there is no server API available from within the game except by the standard lock and key system, meaning w/o SYSOP or MASTER key you get into nothing.

any idea what the new crash is? its the final one.

That's funny - because the latest crash that ...

lot's meaning several. Bugs, exploits, vulnerabilities to the bbs via the game, misspellings, flaws, etc..

battleweb

still lots of problems + new ones after the update.

battleweb

yup - noticed several other problems too

battleweb

traditional Ta was exactly like that, if you equipped a weapon that weighed less than the default one encumbrance would go down, equip one that weighed more it would go up.

I tested this in 5.6 be4 posting earlier...equipping a weapon or unequiping does not change the player's encumbrance value ...

battleweb

could equipped weapon weight less than the previous one?

unable to use heartstone while resting was intentional, i dont want them to be used to escape being killed.

the frosthorn is a setting in the database, not the code.

nothing naturally heals/regens

heartstone bug ill check on.

Not sure ...

battleweb

Typing "reroll" crashes the bbs - tested and confirmed.

battleweb

I'm still not able to use the name of a char that I used befor, even if the char is dead.

Having the same issue, however initially i was given the option to resurrect or start a new char and resurrected. I checked it again to make sure that starting a new char under the same name after suiciding ...

battleweb

Only bugs/issues i see currently that haven't been mentioned before are as follows:

Heartstones
========
Had 22 experience and the heartstone dropped my exp down to 0 instead of taking a %

Could not use heartstone while resting from combat
Items

Was able to buy a frosthorn even though ...

battleweb

what do you mean when recieving gold beyond the limit?

from what source? nothing should be kicking out 65,535 gold at this point.

A treasure room was set up prior to the latest patch, after receiving about 5,500 gold, I went back into the treasure room and received the message that I posted ...

battleweb

Everything is looking great, other than some of the previous bugs/flaws that may still be around, here are some I've noticed, im sure you know about each after talking earlier, but for reference:

Gold

Receiving gold beyond the limit generated the following message:
You find a treasure ...

secondary item names? elaborate on this if its a dagger, dag da dagg all will work.
Sorry, jumped the gun with that one, I wrote that intending on checking if there would be a problem with secondary names of items (for example for an item like rod of flame - "u flame") when i was writing the notes ...

What's 3Q2010?

Ok,
I realize that you probably know about the majority of these bugs and flaws, but I thought it would be useful to post what I have observed and to have a list:

Looking in a direction where there are no exits generates the following descripter: "It is too dark to see!"

I had already emailed you about this - attempting to view the top 10 caused the server to crash - it appears you have fixed that issue.

battleweb

I like the concept. For clarification - what does AOE stand for?

Traditionally in other muds and IRL monks have ability to meditate and heal, that may be a good ability to incorporate if it hasn't already been considered.

battleweb

Oh!
I gotta get in there and test this! :D

yeah towns and all info commands are in the game and im adding the monster editor and combat tomorrow.

Will combat be more versatile? ie. will there be enhancements and improvements to the native combat structure such as critical attacks which would ...

battleweb

Looks like you're making alot of progress in a short period of time.

battleweb

OK the room editor testing was a success therefore i'm unlocking the item editor which will also add shop listing,buying,selling, and NPC display, and also opens up temple and tavern support.

im hoping to have guild hall support and spell editors in before the weekend so during the weekend i can ...

battleweb

Thought I'd check in and see how things are progressing.

Refresh my memory...at what level do you go for the White rune? I forget where it is and how to get it...

The white rune is at the far northern part of the 3rd level dungeon (under the arena). At what level you get it all depends on your skill. To be safe most people wait till they have at least ...

battleweb

Yah I was level 2 and that's why the script didn't work...LOL Thanks

And again, if anyone has any scripts for the 1st arena, or even the 2nd arena, it would be greatly appreciated. These things have just vanished over the years...there is nothing found when searching the net other than rerolls ...

battleweb

I tried the reroll script from that site and it didnt work in QMPRO like it says it is supposed to..? Any ideas?

Smarty's Reroll Script? Works fine for me. Unless you are trying to be a half-ogre warrior or if your character isn't level 1, you shouldn't have any problems. What exactly is ...

battleweb

Thanks I'll check it out. I would assume it will work in Qmodem Pro since that has telnet capabilities?

Yes, it works with Qmodem Pro.

I was wondering the same thing, actually cant find a link to it but read its abandonware. Well lots at sites if you want to grab a virus while your thier ...

battleweb

That's great news!

battleweb

Here's a link to SpIt's Super Script. It doesn't have the Arenas in it (that's set for future development) but does just about everything else you could want. It's probably the most advanced Tele-arena script available. It was made for Qmodem. It's currently set up for running on bbs.undrground.org ...

battleweb

Well, I'm really looking forward to it's public release. I've been watching it's development for over a year now and it sounds like it is very close to going public. [Crosses fingers].
