New change when sleeping mounted!!!

[EyeSeeU]

Yes, but what is the LOGIC behind it?

[Trick]

So since youre mounted you cant be tripped because youre on a horse. You have to trip the horse. Or since youre on a horse u cant trip because youre mounted. So many skills you CANT do because youre mounted. This better be a gag.

[I've Killed for Less]

So since all of the players seem to hate it, is there any chance it will be removed, and maybe something useful will be coded, like getting your pets out of the arena? Also, I am still curious to know if it will affect blackjack.

IKFL

[Spark215]

Wtf?

#Alias {sleep} {dismount; sleep}

There, I coded a fix to this absurd change.

Win. Because I listened to Mali I'm going to win even more PKs. Thanks IMMs!

[Mali]

Spark is my new favorite person.

The only problem with that solution is it's a loop. You'd have to go with sl = dismount, sleep. If you do sleep = dismount, sleep you just end up in an endless loop depending on the client. Which I'm putting in my client now as well as wa = wake, mount so that I wont have to worry about it.

[Trick]

So..basically this is going to be removed because 100% of the players think it is stupid...

EDIT:

What's funny is you're falling off your horse in a seated position while sleeping, but anyone who has been in the military knows you can sleep standing up. I've done it countless times during boot.

The only problem with that solution is it's a loop. You'd have to go with sl = dismount' date=' sleep. If you do sleep = dismount, sleep you just end up in an endless loop depending on the client.

Heh.

#alias sleep {dismount;#send sleep}

[Ayroduth]

So since you cant sleep on a mount, does that mean if your flying and you sleep you can be tripped? Should there be a command to land on the ground or would you just fall from the sky sleeping?

[F-3000]

#alias sleep {dismount;#send sleep}

Or...

#alias {sl}

{

	where;

	#if {$prompt_mounted} {dismount};

	sleep;

}

Very essential for hiding classes, because dismount brings you out of hide.

[The-Nameless]

I like it.

I also think you should take damage + a little lag if you try to go a direction that does not exist. We have all walked into doors/walls/doorways. You just get a little jolt then go wtf, what a lousy place for a wall.

[Dead Voodoo Doll]

So, lets go ahead and make blackjack not work on you while mounted, right? Because I know I'd see that thief climb the back end of my horse.

mutter:

(18/473HP 205/205MANA 194/308MV M 20H 224TNL 9126GOLD)[Exits: E] As you nod off you suddenly lose your balance and fall from the back of a warhorse!

Your bodyslam devastates you!

You have been KILLED!!

The Gods take pity on you and do not exact a toll on your experience!

As the cold chill of death descends upon you XXX grants you yet another chance.

You have been granted a temporary sanctuary as an invincible ghost.

As long as you don't attack anything.

You go to sleep.

[Mmm Coffee]

What constitutes "not much damage?"

As you nod off you suddenly lose your balance and fall from the back of a quarterhorse!

Your bodyslam MANGLES you!

You go to sleep.

[F-3000]

How about "I walked myself to death when tried to flee with dirt in my eyes"? Plus wholly new tactic to cause random deaths with thief traps (script-walking rings a bell?). Besides, walking into wall already gives you ~50ms lag. Even bigger if your ping to FL is bigger.

[The-Nameless]

This is gonna bite you attrition pkers in the *** during a pk. I just know it .

I wonder if this stops ninja study too. Oh the possibilities.

[Stupido]

Or...

#alias {sl}

{

	where;

	#if {$prompt_mounted} {dismount};

	sleep;

}

Very essential for hiding classes, because dismount brings you out of hide.

You cannot hide while mounted in the first place.

[f0xx]

I personally like the change, although there are some realism contradictions there with classes that can put you to sleep.

[Trick]

So, let's just go ahead and change it back. Don't worry Staff, we'll forgive you.

[F-3000]

You cannot hide while mounted in the first place.

Yes, but you can type "dismount" while you are hidden, and it will bring you out of hide.

[The-Nameless]

Well there is a difference between falling asleep, and being knocked out. Stangle and blackjack knock you out (hence why hunger/thirst do not wake you up)

[Tantangel]

It wont phase me whether it's changed or not now, as I've already got my alias put in. So whether it's kept or not doesn't matter. Now if they make it to where you have to see to be able to mount/dismount that might cause more of a problem and a lot more people complaining than about this one.

Exactly. The players used their client to bypass this change, VETERANS know how to do this.

[Tantangel]

I'll say this, I'm not fond of the change by any means, but I do find it pretty nifty. The damage from it however is far too great. I had 100hp taken off just by testing it out which is ridiculous as falling 4 feet off a horse to the ground does not hurt that bad. In fact a drop from a two story house isn't that bad depending on how you land. If we're keeping it I say add dimension to it, have it scratch you if you're a Giant and maybe devastate you as a gnome/halfling. It should never do a MANGLE in my opinion. Not only that but it should knock the wind out of you just because it's a surprise attack and should probably lag you. You should NOT be able to go to sleep right after either. Add these few things and I'll actually enjoy it more since it would be more realistic. I can't sleep very well IRL so perfecting the ability to not fall over no matter where I'm at is easy for me to do now. If I were given a six inch ledge to sleep on, as long as it had no wall to it I wouldn't fall as I'd be able to sleep hanging off of it without ever falling.

[tassinvegeta]

I'm able to see new possibilities for abuse. Can't get rid of your norem/nouncurse item? Go to sleep a few times to kill yourself. Got a long wait timer on a spell you want to reset? Go kill yourself. Losing a pk and don't want your eq taken? Go tactically kill yourself so you can get back to your corpse before he can even find it. Now we're gonna have Imms spend more of there time to police this.

[Brehan]

How about take the damage off and give you a cuncussion.

cuncussion: affects sleep by none for 12 hours

cuncussion: affects spells by fury for 12 hours

cuncussion: affects dodge by -99 for 12 hours

cuncussion: affects parry by -99 for 12 hours

cuncussion: affects shield block by -99 for 12 hours

cuncussion: affects two handed by -99 for 12 hours

cuncussion: affects same as enfeeble for 12 hours

:eek:
