Little things that are annoying

So, there’s always been little idiosyncrasies in the code that drove me crazy, but I figured there were more important things to fix. But a lot of the changes Ravaus has been making have been targeting those sorts of things, so I figured it was time to post them!

[b:2jtqla95]Sneak[/b:2jtqla95] – If you can approach silently, why can’t you approach none silently?
[b:2jtqla95]Title[/b:2jtqla95] – Titles shouldn’t be case sensitive.. and they should ignore apostrophes. Maybe not a whole row of apostrophes… but just one should be fine. Anyone who’s ever played a Twi’lek knows how annoying this is.
[b:2jtqla95]Mail/drone[/b:2jtqla95] – The to/from fields on letters and notes should ignore color codes, like titles currently do.
[b:2jtqla95]Say/'[/b:2jtqla95] – ‘ is an alias for say, but is an interrupting action, even when say isn’t. Also, if you’re bound you’re also to say things, but you can’t ‘ things.

Aaaand that’s all I can think of for now.

Perfect, this is just what I want to see. I’ll take care of these for the next batch of changes. Keep ’em coming!

You can still OOC and OSAY things while afk, even if SAY was fixed.

Ooc and osay while afk seem a prudent choice to leave open, nothing IC can be done while afk so theres no real loss. Occasionally i’ll be afk duck in to say something and run off again. Its just convenient.

In shops you get the same item listed 9999999999999999 times instead of once

It’s actually kind of a feature, Skiia. It’s based on the stacking code which won’t stack items of differing quality.

… sigh

I can understand for armor. But cameras? Shields? Toothpicks? Really?

something that annoys me: This is now the third thread on this topic. Was the old one you started not good enough anymore?

That’s because what you see is identical. However, something under the hood is not.

I had a long discussion with the doucheass who slipped me a mic a couple years ago about stacking code and it all boils down to it being ridiculously complicated though kinda cool.

[b:2w377bep]Ambush[/b:2w377bep] requiring [b:2w377bep]Hide[/b:2w377bep].

Seems like most of the BHing races don’t get good smuggling, so even netting hide can be a pain. I’ve had it happen a couple of times, myself. Solution: A BHer version of [b:2w377bep]Hide[/b:2w377bep]. Call it [b:2w377bep]Lurk[/b:2w377bep] or something, I donno.

Going off of what was said before about BHers getting some form of hide. To balance it out some, make the BHer "Hide" skill take time to set up so that a BHer isn’t just coming into a room and all of a sudden no one can see them. Instead they come in and camouflage themselves with what is in the room, or what not.

Name one race that most people, if bought, would main a BH that would not have enough smuggling to get Hide? I’m not counting Gamorreans because the idea of a Gamorrean hiding instead of thundering towards something yelling, "SMASH!" is like trying to imagine a Jawa not stealing a piece of scrap…
