icesus

Umm, we already have this? One first requests devwiz status from Belannaer or whoever it is that handles them, then gets access to devwiz forums: development and coding, dev+ channel, coding documentation, coding examples and such. And the dev-server, which is functional clone of Icesus the game, ex...

And now for my 2 cents. First of all, yes, there is a shortage of wizards and a declined playerbase. I'd like to see more new players make it to the game... and staying. People should recruit new players themselves, or at the very least bother to push that vote button link on the Icesus homepage dai...

TL;DR: Make casting reincs award random shard once in a while. Reincarnation is a key core feature of the MUD: it allows players to explore the depths of the game world in new ways, providing means of re-igniting those positive feelings they experience when playing Icesus. Yet, all is not well. Back...

As much as I'd like to believe that Etadan crashed the MUD, crashing, as far as I understand, takes place pretty much immediately when something goes terribly wrong - if it's an in-game cause, that is. Which means, that there shouldn't be any time to paste the crash causer on public channels. I too ...

Partying is the easier path. If you end up with a bad leader, well... too bad? If you end up leading yourself, well... if you're not entirely sure what your party can handle, ask if someone else knows or if they are willing to take over? If you end up with a leader who knows his/her stuff, keep hitt...

Don't forget to add the shiny new Leadership Plaque to the records room in adventurer's guild. These sorts of things must be documented and available to check the competition at all times! Quite so! There should definitely be some sorts of checks on party compositon before awarding Leadership exp f...

A quick idea, once again spawned somewhere in the unfathomable recesses of my wretched mind while stretching the very limits of muscular control to pop out the last piece of poop. Leaders! What an ungrateful job! To drag around people with one too many thumbs up their arses and another in their nost...

There are also special shards around. They are called 'void shards'. When they are imbued on an item, all of that item's generic magic properties are completely wiped out. It'll lose its normal magical abilities, but retain anything fancy and flashing that isn't related to the magic property system....

Help shards is a helpful file to read, but when imbueing it is a good rule of thumb to remember that: STAT goes first. DEFIANCE goes last. Anything else goes in-between. IRONTHREAD: Safe imbueing order for a non-magical item: Weapons: 1: stat 2: skill 3: damag...

Some people make use of the CODE tag when pasting such lists, would look like [Coding] Belannaer: Coding opportunity! To change vast amount of npcs into new talk system they need to be changed manually one by one. You can help in doing this if you already have an access to de...

Seems of marginal, yet of potentially abusably good use. I can understand how 24h boots can hinder playing experience if they happen right in the middle of your free time, which reminds me of the time we had a flowing reboot sequence (the boot was once every 31h back then), so it was sort of equally...

It uses different code.

Human is the basic mould, to which race_shadows get applied to, to form the other races. From what I've understood, this is also why only humans can become shapeshifters and not dwarves etc - might make the code go BOOM.

This might make it problematic to tune humans in one way or another.

Or not.

I have always entertained myself (well, now you too, seeing that you are reading this) with the questionable 'idea' of some day Sorcerers receiving another 'multispirit' command, making use of both malevolent and benevolent types. While this isn't bloody likely ever going to be implemented (I am sur...

I would like to put together a party to run the vampire mansion including killing Enraged vampire count Yirica. I think it could be done with mid-lvl earth-priest, a least one healer of mid-lvl, a mid-lvl def tank or higher lvl off tank, myself and another mid-lvl blaster(mage or maybe sorc). Other...
