When a user equips an item, it is removed from inventory. This seems a little strange. Instead, it would be nice if the item remained in inventory, but it also showed where the item was equipped. Users would still be prevented from dropping equipped items.

Works but the values are wonky -- die too quickly.

should work as shield bash (when theres a shield) along with giving better damage messages; easy task just leverage combat.js functions.

In character.js manaRegen function around line 494:

target.chp += total;

should be:

target.cmana += total;

Same function around line 487:

conMod = World.dice.roll(1, 2) - 1;

should be :

intMod = World.dice.roll(1, 2) - 1;

Month calculations, behaviors, and wanted events.

Weaknesses vs certain weapon types (slice, smash, crush)

A versatile 'json' command that allows admin users to get a pretty readout within the browser of a game objects JSON structure.

Make combat messages more dynamic, and fix any bugs that come up.

The character data format uses the eq field to hold equipped items. The locations in this object are nested into groups, for example:

{
        "eq": {
                "head": [
                    {
                        "name": "Head",
                        "item": null
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "Necklace 1",
                        "item": null
                    }
                ]
        }
}

This makes it rather difficult to locate equipped items in the list, since it requires a nested loop.

As an alternative, the slot category could be indicated within the location itself:

{
        "eq": [
                    {
                        "name": "Head",
                        "item": null,
                        "slot": "head"
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "Necklace 1",
                        "item": null,
                        "slot": "head"
                    }
        ]
}

This would make it much easier to find items in the equipped list, since iterating through the nested arrays wouldn't be required. For output, the flat array could simply be sorted using the slot value. To equip, find the first location in the flat array with the matching slot and write into it, or if none exist, fail. Unequipping would be an equally simple loop through the list, merely comparing with the item.

Any one combat skill for POC

Currently you can 'look' while sleeping and etc.

Cleanup, a simple one.

Related to container items.

I'd love to see that the health / magic / movement bar isn't in the text but outside the side of the screen so you can see your stats dropping down.

Now it just adds to the backlog which is already filling when you're idling in a room

Equip and put the outlined shield to good use. An example of an in-combat passive is a part of this request.

JSON? Seems easiest but I am considering a markdown parser or something like that due to JSON file formatting issues (new line).

Basically we should be testing if some properties are an array as to mix up the generated messages.

I'd like to see an ability for the server to regenerate tools / etc in the rooms

Think like a Blacksmith, being able to buy things from him and when the tools aren't available, have a timer run that restores the tools over time.

That way a user will have to come back to get tools instead of being stuck

When I start up the server and get logged in, the server crashes and throws this error.

Add a ring that adds +1 str when worn.

I know the project currently has no Javascript templating, but it seems like a simple template system would be useful for things like the display of score or output of specific types of messages, like help.

It might also be nice to have a template-based form to use for editing/creating new objects in the game, rather than having to memorize an arcane object-creation syntax or execute 50 commands to create and then modify a single object. This way, you could use a command like create weapon and a form could appear (build from a template). Upon "submitting" the form, a command would send all of the form fields to a more complete create weapon ... command that actually creates the weapon.

It seems that whatever way you go, the room doesn't change. RoomId stays the same

get sword sack (cmd, item, item2). Do not support 'from'.

Scrolls are 1-off casts that use up the scroll but take no mana.
Staffs can hold a number of spell charges and take little mana.
Spellbooks hold 'special' spells and do take mana.

effectively read, recite, and brandish commands.

get 1.dagger and get 2.dagger
kill 2.boar and kill 1.boar

Note '1.' is implied when nothing is passed; the 'top' most item is assumed. Basically as it works now.

Room.prototype.getRoomObject should be Room.prototype.getObject and etc. This is something to fix across the engine.

Please break the rooms out of the areas, when editing or adding to the Area code now, the server goes into a reboot, kicking all the users offline

Or add an ability to load the rooms dynamically so the server doesn't have to be rebooted

Character.js needs expanded to allow for remove specific functions based on item type (removeWeapon() / removeLight()); this way we can easily adjust for item specific removals and make item type specific events.
