Wizard Bot port to #bot gate ro -> North Ro

[striat]

Shin Noir or striat,
if you guys give me what you want to see command layout wise, I will have a diff today for Striat to add to this server. Or I can just use the list Shin has posted above?

I will have no such thing! Enjoy your time and just relax while you are here, sir;p You spend enough time helping out others as is!

Will probably make some adjustments eventually, but I can handle it fairly quickly!

/salute

lol striat you're crazy:P he has so much stuff that we've reported due to emu bugs that we're starting to feel bad posting more! It's like the neverending stack of paperwork haha, it just keeps on coming.

Another thing for Shin.... Dreadlands gate has always been called Combine. I know it's confusing, but if we Wizards have to learn that, so should you! Also, Be glad Emerald Jungle and Skyfire aren't named Wind of the North and Wind of the South.

[Shin Noir]

but was it ever called "combines" with an S on the end?
That's what it is on the bot list.

Wind of the North/South aren't Wizard spells btw, they're dr00ds.

And it's not that they're using the wizard spell names that is my point, if they were consistently using spell names I would be fine with that, as I know all the wizard spells, it's not like I'm some random newbie who has never played a wizard before (Note: Not saying i'm super awesome at them, but i've made plenty of wizards since they're great to sit around and nuke with and port since they're such an easy class to play). Spell names can be a bit difficult due to length though to type in, and most lack good reasoning as you pointed out, they're just some oddity of Markar's Relocation and other random words that EQ thought would be good for a name.

But, if they were using 1 system and stuck to it, I could live with it. It's the fact they're using like 3 or 4 different forms of naming conventions: spell names some times, short zone names others, initials others, or just a word they think helps represent the zone with no correlation otherwise.. that's what I have complications with.

Ro Portal takes you to north ro (bot list: ro). North Portal takes you to North Karana (bot list: nk). Evacuate Ro takes you to south ro (bot list: n/a).. EQ spell logic is always lacking. haha.

Using their system, why not make it nro / sro at least? Hehe. (My original suggestion).

But you can build on that and just use the shortnames. Short names are always unique, typically brief (some exceptions, but even northkarana isn't that bad), used on /w all lists, and even our old zone teleporter uses it.

It seems just right to me, no reason to utilize the others.

Though, I've already wasted a lot of breath on this topic that isn't that big of a deal anyways. Since most people don't really care either way. When you #bot gate it announces what they're porting to, and you can figure it out from that. It was originally supposed to be a simple suggestion, but I kept building on it, normally from replies, and now it's like.. really big wall of text.

And I bet there's better stuff to be working on the simple things like that, when the bot code is so fscked up right now it crashes zone erratically.

So, I'll shut up now about this. I think my point is now pretty crystal to anyone who bothers to read all the information I covered.

You know, what would be completely awesome, is to implement the saylink feature into the bot system. Then that way, they could use the full, in-game name of the zone, as all players would know it, and you'd only need to click the link. Keeping, of course, the option to just type in the name yourself, similar to the way the zone porter in THF handles it.

Would be neat to see that implemented across all bot abilities, if not a dashboard that handles all bot commands. Just a pipe dream, though, I'm sure.

That would be amazing... or if we could choose what buffs we were getting, or when they healed us.... but then again, that would probably never happen. D:
