Dark Legacy MUD Forum

Mud has been upgraded! Many fixes. Some changes that will probably alter mobs a bit, keep an eye out for broken mobs! Post bugs and issues here.

Treasure Maps

+ Ported treasure map code.
+ Treasure maps can be fished up now.
+ Treasure maps can lead to dungeons now for all character levels. This is only an initial version, dungeon content isn't generated yet.

Mobiles

In preparation of dungeon code part of legacy mobile code has been stripped, mobiles are now classified as minion, normal, unique or
bosses. This directly ties in to hitpoints and XP reward. Mobiles will have different hitpoints than expected. Player controlled pets
and minions should be unchanged, so keep an eye open for huge HP changes.

+ Minions give 33% normal XP, champions and uniques give x3 normal XP, Bosses give x20 normal XP
+ Zenpin, Hyakuhei and Spaz now flagged as Uniques.

New Tarsonis

+ Added forge to the gleaming breastplate.
+ Valentine shop has opened up in Phenomena Ally in New Tarsonis, selling all sorts of Valentine sweetness.
+ Hero square allows sethome.
+ The shops at the newbie square have returned.
+ Lillobee in Tarsonis sells syringes again.
+ Public stable added at the end of the wyrms tail, just besides the hairy giant inn.
+ Merchant street populated with player shops; max 1 shop per account please!

+ Level 25 Pitters can use the dwarven coalificator to transform one bronze ingot into one coal.
+ Bugfix: Hardened bone recipe now accepts correct type of bone, retired duplicate bone substance.
+ Bugfix: A thick iron wire is now a 'piece' instead of trash.
+ Bugfix: Harvest now properly respects cooldowns the same as mine command.
+ Bugfix: Steel now usable in forging.
+ Typo: 'You pluck' instead of 'you plucks' for cotton shrubs (old typoe'd shrubs will take a while to phase out).
+ Typo: Renamed bckpack -> backpack recipe.
+ Usability: Made 'forage' an alias again for harvesting.

Citadels:

+ Bugfix: Runewalking to citadels possible again.

Magic:

+ Bugfix: recall scrolls follow sethome again.

You gesture and chant 'Solaris'
[concentration raises by 0.5% and is now 14.5%]
You cause a blinding column of light to descend upon Kynan.
... You cause yourself 273 damage.




-- Everything fades to black, You feel yourself leaving your body. --

You are now a ghost! To return to the living type depart, or you
can wait until someone resurrects you.

"Your corpse is left behind where you were killed, together with
all of your equipment, so that you can attempt to return to the scene and
loot your corpse. Corpses decay after time, and when this happens the
objects and gold inside will decay with it."

"You can ask the gods for a favor and return your corpse to you. You can
do this by typing supplicate corpse. In the beginning supplicating
for your corpse will be costless, but when you advance the gods will
require sacrifices from you".

Your natural vision is impaired!

CRASH BUG:

Logged off in AC last night with a dead pet..logged on today and there was 2 ghosts of my pet -

(Ghost) (diminutive) Krusty the female young Crab lies DEAD on the floor.
You recognize Krusty the female young Crab as being (null)'s loyal pet.
(Ghost) (diminutive) Krusty the female young Crab lies DEAD on the floor.
You recognize Krusty the female young Crab as being Kynan's loyal pet.

Decided to resurrect them both..first one worked like a charm..mud crashed as soon as I hit enter to resurrect the second one.

Raolas has a corpse of himself inside of our citadel. Kind of a.. reminder lol, but nonetheless, when he loads his character or attempts to; the MUD seems to loop out for a minute and then go into reboot mode. Happens when we try to log on Raolas. This is a sad thing :( Please help lol.

Would edit above post if I could in order not to be spammy but it seems to be disabled. As a note to the above, all other characters on his account are able to be logged on, only problem arises with logging Raolas.

You finish a pine tree .


Seems to always be an extra space after "tree ". Every line with "a pine tree " does that.

You pluck cotton boll (4) from a cotton shrub.
You plucked a cotton shrub bare.

I've posted this before, and I'm sure you have it noted; but just incase I thought I'd mention it one more time lol. Doesn't seem be any craft skill category for foraging/harvesting cotton. For example, no XP and no craft skill rise.

Also, I'm still not gaining idle xp because of my level... Not fair :P lol They're gaining on me....

- 1 yew wood log Lost!
Your product is of above normal quality!
- Gained yew wood block (2)!

I'm only processing wood here.... :( I think this one can explain itself.

Your product is of above normal quality!

I DO, however still gain xp from my pine processing... lol *boggles*

I never did make a superior quality wood process but for some reason I am now gaining xp again after it was spamming me the you must make a superior quality thingy. Lol, wtf, m8?

A hawthorne tree falls onto the floor.

I usually have gravity gagged, but this made it through somehow and I thought it was strange lol... Also, I thought gravity was removed currently?

- 1 hawthorne wood log Lost!
Your product is of superior quality!

Believe I found the root of the bug here.

And I again start to gain xp for processing hawthorne even though I didn't make a superior quality item it asked for after I had just made one. Seems to only put the xp block up for a small period of time.

Same bug just happened with pine, I'm assuming it's universal for when you make a superior item.

So me and terkal have been sitting down with one another going over the game and it's functionality over the past while. I thought this, and decided it best I post this on my own account for once, lol and that binkly is fixing food in the oven.

So, we've been fishing, and someone mentioned to me that there is maps that you can find that will take you to a dungeon... After he described to us the mobs in the dungeon, loading mobs like Txa and Malice, over and over again is kind fo a neat idea... but it was just on a childish map, and he was only level 30, lol. Isn't that a little excessive?

Perhaps the drops that open a portal to locations like this should be named different than maps, perhaps Dungeon Scrolls, or Scrolls from some ancient dimensional society, not just be mixed in with and named as treasure maps.

I like the idea of having to find a specific location to make it work, but giving them a clear distinction between portal maps and treasure maps... I feel that is very important, especially if this is how they are supposed to operate.

this totally sucks, but it IS kinda like a neat reset button. thanks cele. but I would like Raolas back more than a reset button...


especially since the game still saves

like really, come on

You gain 250 Woodcutting experience!

You have now obtained level e540 in Woodcutting!
- craftmanship reached level e1807!
You harvest A stained treasure map from a pine tree .

Lol, I think it might be the fact that I have 2k stained maps in my inventory on raolas... that could be what's crashing the mud cele, if the game has to convert all of those maps simultaneously im sure it would loop like it does, and then reset.

After delibertation I finally decided to sac the corpse from when you gave me a reimb from a rot. It's been sitting in my citadel, in a portal, being saved for a rainy brag session a few years down the line when rao is deleted and gone... but that has achieved nothing at all, as you can ask any of the players on DL

They mostly hate me right now, and not only for that reason--but it's aight... I just need rao back and it'll be golden. pristine blue diamond even. dig it.

You start plucking a cotton shrub.

look
You stop logging.

Was foraging/harvesting cotton and it thought I was chopping. Could also be tied into why we get no xp for foraging or if why it's ignoring having a craft tree skill for foraging.
