I am aware of the the point of the long post was it'll will still have the other things in it.For instance mob x has max hit of bleh ac of blah acc of yip exp @@@@@ with attack type woo waaa and womp.Rather than go try it to see people can know exactly what combo of race/class and gear is gonna be best before they ever goto this mob.As much as I use mme its much more lively for the people that do play to not have this info.

Ok, I'm following ya. You're suggesting that I go one step futher. Interesting :)



So would you say..rather than making a MME export, making a website, or at least an extensive post in this forum would be the best choice?



Oh, one last thing. In your point of view would an export with just spells/weapons/armour be exceptable? Cause everyone likes to know what the items they are carring do. And i'm sure as hell not going back through and adding that info to all the items when you look at them :)

weapons/spells/armor/races/classes id say, if not, at least spells/races/classes

[hades]

what sven said ;),as for acceptable thats for either you to determine or majority to determine depending on how you wanna go,this is merely my view of things.

Thats a good thought. Now i'll have to go into a large explaination of the class changes I've made, as you will not be able to understand them from a mme database export, but I can simply post all that information on here in the bbs advertisement. Along with the general theme storyline/bbs setup/and a little bit of monster info as well as general descriptions of the new areas. I don't need to have level 25 people wondering into an area ment for level 60 groups. It could be a bit confusing because I am using an orc army as one of my main enemies so, I can see people underestimating their powers.



Anyone know why there isnt a textblock viewer in mme?



I'm doing alot of work on creating monster AI so that monsters arent quite as stupid...at least a few boss monsters. Do you think I should tell people which monsters are smarter? Like a have a high priest monster that will actually run away and heal himself then come back to finish players off, and a ninja monster that attempts to move in and out of the room to backstab. Do you think I should warn players which monsters do this, or just give a general warning that some monsters are "smart".(at least as smart as i could make them) Some monsters can even follow like thousands of rooms away, others other monsters actually roam large throughout large areas...IE actually move along a path.

[hades]

thats a tough call on the info about bosses cuz some people quit if they die a few times to 1 mob,and some keep trying til they get it right ;)

[Mysterio]

Screw the quitters ;) Leave as much mystery as possible while still giving enough info about gear that you can tell a great weapon from a good one, etc. A simple warning about "smart" monsters, maybe break down the new classes, and the spell/item info and let people go buck wild in the realm.

[hades]

I say screw the quitters too but he has to do what he feels is in the best interest of the board

One of the most unexspected and somewhat awesome things just happened. A friend of mine that I havent spoken to in months just logged on to aim and we did some talking. He actually still had the old databases from a previous mud I had worked on for several months. I had been planning to go back in and add in all the edits that I had done in that 2-3 month period to this bbs, But now I have a full database to export info from. In the database he has I had worked out metro's mod 10 and added tons and tons of data. So now I have a huge mod 10 town almost completed. Along with lots of quests, NPCS, monsters, Huge amounts of textblock work, and all the working for a major quest. The best part about this is it has all the work I did on weapons and quests for thieves. Its 3 months worth of work that was just delivered from the sky to me. Awesome awesome. I'd guess this will add about 40 items 10 quests a few thousand rooms, spells spells spells! and secrets that I don't even remember. I've very excited. I'd skip school work on all this...But...i cant :( This is rather invigorating for me :)



This database also does me the favorr of having alota little things that I can now just import..I'm happy happy happy :)
