suggestion for abilities for us testers.

ok, With as many minor, medium, and major bugs that are continuing to be found, it would sure be nice to be able to post a room number and other information to help ease your ability to find where and such that we find these bugs.

I can understand the not wanting to allow full use of the sysop controls and such completely.  However, since this IS a testing board, and we are all trying to work towards the common goal of getting this off the ground, it would be quite beneficial to all if we all had some basic abilities.  Sys map, and sys stat would really make a huge difference.  mmexplorer can tell us most rooms, but trying to WALK there in that program is a real pain in the neck.

  It would be a great addition to sysop controls to have multiple levels of access available to a sysop also, so might be something you may wish to consider adding in as a feature. (the ability to turn on individual abilities via sysop command control center or whatever it is)

Animal, you should set up a message response.  I was just thinking about it, I don't see why you couldn't chain them up.

Message: {1} telepaths: where
Response: sys where {1}

Then another message:
... Just realised this relies on the format of the sys where response.  If it contains the name, it could be used to tp back to them.  eg, if it was something like "Player Grox map 2 room 20"

Message: Player {1} map {2} room {3}
Response: /{1} You are in map {2} room {3}

Of course the down side of this is that everytime you "where" someone it will tp them the results.  NO SNOOPING!  ;D

Edit:  Of course, if the response doesn't contain the player name, and you can't tp back, you could always gos the results.

Once we get the silverlight test pages password protected, so players can log into their own pages we could just add info in there. e.i. Having it always report your current room number and map number along with the room name.



I'll see if I can fiddle with a message responce system later... probably will not be finished with it tonight..
