[3.34][Discworld] Adding a string identifier to a room to help with identifying?
|
Discworld has implemented GMCP, albeit really small bit of it.
I found something that can help with mapping, every room has a "hash" identifier that I'd like to add to my map to help when it gets lost.
The gmcp output is like this
| Code: |
| identifier=a5846b0acd26afec87c2dc20daa7ccadecc94cff|name=Job Market centre|kind=inside |
Thing is I haven't really found any good place to stick it in the map, atleast not that I know how to handle (usrstr?).
Perhaps a db variable with something like roomnum()=identifier but there's thousands of rooms... |

Use the ID caption on the first tab of the room properties window (upper right corner)
or #CALL %roomid |

You might want to use the %roomnote field instead, because the ID field is for a short name that can be interacted with by commands like #WALK.

I think I'll do a separate SQLITE db on the site to aggregate the information, Discworld is a complex MUD - and I am one of those explorer geeks, I spend hours just walking and reading.
I even "look east" and compare the room descriptions because some change when you enter  |
