IOI: 5

There are now three flags that control combat messaging: CombatBrief, CombatNoNumbers, and CombatSelfFull, replacing the previous pair of CombatBrief and BattleBrief.

CombatBrief fulfills the role that CombatBrief and BattleBrief did before, reducing combat messaging to the minimum.

CombatNoNumbers is more verbose than CombatBrief, removing the numbers but keeping in much of the flavor text.

CombatSelfFull causes the messaging for attacks by or against the given player to have full messaging, regardless of the settings of the previous flags.

As well, these will now apply to the success equation of warding attacks.

As with most settings, you can use the FLAGS command or the settings menu in Wrayth to change them.

Coming live to you is a new update to the LOOK verb, allowing you to view the contents of containers in a list sorted by category. To enable SortedView, type FLAG SORTEDVIEW ON. To switch back to Legacy Viewing mode, type FLAG SORTEDVIEW OFF.

Happy categorizing!

Hey all,

FLAG NoAmbientMsg is now available for use. This flag defaults to OFF and when set prevents seeing ambient messaging from other players. There's also an "Ambients" window available in Wrayth, which will redirect any ambient messaging to that window instead. Please note that item scripts must be updated to utilize this new flag. If you see any ambient messaging you shouldn't, please BUGITEM if you have access to the item, or BUG with as much detail as possible.
