Mental P Imm Disease

Adding races to an EmberMUD (v1.0)
(For EmberMUD.029 and.029b)
by Ron Cole

(Some snippets borrowed from the EmberMUD codebase, which is based on ROM 2.3, which is based on MERC, which is based on DIKU. )

Step #1: Plan a race.
The first step in race creation is to plan out the race you
wish to add. Here are some questions you might want to have answered
before going any further:

What does it look like?

If this race is from a myth, what attributes do those myths
give the creature (afraid of the light, hurt by iron, etc..)?

How large is it? (small, normal, large, etc..?)

Is it strong? Smart?

What part of the world does it live in, and has it evolved any
special features to help it survive there? (fur for resistance to
cold weather, infrared vision to help it see underground, etc..)

What is it made of? If it is flesh, does it have fur, skin, or
scales? If it is another material (rock, fire, etc..) what
benefits and hindrances would that material give them?

Will it have any special abilities only available to that race?

Is it resistant to anything (Poison, disease, iron)? Immune?

Is it vulnerable to anything?

Step 2: Adding a race table.
Open the file const.c and look for a structure called the
race table. The race table holds the basic shape and physical
structure for every race, whether PC (player character) or not.
Below is an example of this structure:

{
name, pc race?,
act bits, aff by bits, off bits,
imm, res, vuln,
form, parts
},

What it means...

name: The name of the race. It should be capitolized and in quotes.

pc race?: Can player characters be this race? If so, enter TRUE.

act bits: These are act bits for the races. Most act bits are for
NPC's (aggressive, pet, etc..). You will probably not have to set
any act bits.

aff by bits: These are permanent affects that enchant the creature.
For instance, if you want your creature to be able to fly, you
would most likely enter AFF FLYING. The most common affect you
will probably add is AFF INFRARED.

off bits: These are offensive skills that NPC members of this race
will start out with. It does not affect PC characters.

imm: This represents immunity, or the inability of a substance to
harm said race. This is an extremely powerful gift, so do not add
it lightly.

res: Resistance. Creatures that are resistant to something take
less damage from it and can more-easily overcome its affects.

vuln: Vulnerable. Creatures that are vulnerable to something
take more damage from it and are more easily overcome by it.

form: What form does it take? This is a general description of
its body and general abilities. Unlike most other entries, this
one is done with letters.

parts: These are the body parts that the race has, such as eyes,
hands, legs, tentacles, and fins. These are also denoted with
letters.

Now, plug the values that you want into the structure, and
then add it to the table. If you want to put more than one bit
in a group, separate the bits with a . Lists of the various
bits are at the bottom of this sheet in the appendixes, and
an example of a completed race table is below:

{
"Elf", TRUE,
0, AFF INFRARED, 0,
0, RES CHARM, VULN IRON,
A H M V, A B C D E F G H I J K
},

Step 3: Adding a pc race table.
Open the file const.c and look for a structure called the
pc race table. The PC race table holds important statistical
information about each PC race such as their minimum and
maximum stats. It also contains how well said race will do
within a chosen class. Below is an example of this structure:

{
"race name", short name, points, { class multipliers },
{ bonus skills },
{ base stats }, { max stats }, size
},

What it means...

race name: The name of the race again. This should be all in
lower case.

short name: The short name of the race for the who list. This
should be no larger than 5 characters.

points: The number of points it costs to purchase this race.

class multiplier: Increases the amount of experience needed to
go up in level if the class is chosen. 100 means to increase.

bonus skills: Gives the character whatever skills are listed
here for free.

base stats: Increases or decreases the base amount from which
stats are generated. In other words, it increases the chance
to get better stats while not actually increasing the max
stat number.

max stats: The maximum number any stat for that race can be
without class modifiers.

Just like what you did with the race table, plug the values
you want into the structure and then add it to the table. The
classes are in the following order: Mage, Cleric, Thief, Warrior.
Stats are in this order: STR, DEX, WIS, INT, CON. An example of a
completed pc race table is below:

{
"elf", " Elf ", 5, { 100, 125, 100, 120 },
{ "sneak", "hide" },
{ -1, 1, 0, 2, -2 }, { 16, 20, 18, 21, 15 }, SIZE MEDIUM
},

Step 4: Increasing the Maximum.
Open the file merc.h and look for the constant MAX PC RACE.
If you added a PC race, increase this by one. Below is what the
define should look like, where XX is the new number:

#define MAX PC RACE XX

Step 5: Adding help files.
You will need to add a help file for the race, as well as
altering the current "race" help file. These files can be found
in help.are within the area directory.

Step 6: Final balance check.
This is the last step, and one that most people forget: check
one more time to make sure that your race is balanced. By balanced,
I mean that its benefits do not outweigh its penalties. If you
have given your race an immunity, have you also given it sufficient
penalties like increased cost or vulnerabilities to balance it?

Ostara 2013 And A Wild Hare

Spring has officially sprung with the Vernal Equinox, and Wiccans and Neo-pagans everywhere are celebrating its arrival with Ostara. The celebrations name is derived from the name of the Germanic goddess of Spring, Eostre. Ostara is often associated with the Celts, but there are no known Celtic Equinox celebrations in the history books. As with many pagan celebrations, Christians adapted Ostara into the celebration of Easter. I'm assuming it was done as another in a long line of moves by the church to try to Christianize the Pagans.

(Pagan/Wiccan Wheel of the Year)

For the early Pagans, the Equinox was a time to celebrate the new crop season, and the planting of those crops. The Spring Equinox is a perfect time to start new seedlings.

Ostara is acknowledged/celebrated by Pagans with the creation of Ostara eggs, trees, and altars.

(Some great egg designs I found online: Top Left ~ Leaf Eggs;

Top Right ~ Eggs decorated with beans and grains; Bottom Center ~ Handpainted Eggs)

(A couple of great examples of Pagan Ostara altars)

I think most people have heard the term "mad as a March Hare". That phrase always makes me think of "Alice in Wonderland". I conjure a mental image of the Madhatter's Tea Party, and his friend the 'mad' March Hare ('mad' meaning 'crazy'). The phrase actually has factual roots in the natural world.

('March Hare' from Tim Burton's, "Alice in Wonderland")

To Medieval society, the March Hare was viewed as a major fertility symbol. This particular species of bunny is nocturnal most of the year (only comes out at night), but that changes in March when mating season arrives. Then they spend the day looking for mating opportunities. It is a common occurrence during this time to see a couple of the bunnies boxing. Some assume that it's two males duking it out over a female, but interestingly it is a female fighting off a male...either he doesn't suit her fancy, or she has already done her mating time. The reaction from rebuffed males is one of frustration, the bunny bouncing around in an erratic fashion. It is this reaction that spawned the phrase "Mad as a March Hare".

(Dueling Bunnies)

An interesting factoid about the females is that, like most rabbit species, they are "superfecund". That means that they can conceive a second litter while still pregnant with the first. Guess that's how the phrase "breeding like rabbits" came about...no wonder rabbits multiply so quickly.

("Spring")

For me personally, when I hear the word 'Spring', my mind conjures up a painting. Dutch artist Lawrence Alma Tadema is the creative mind behind my favorite painting at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, aptly named "Spring" (c. 1894). It is truly a breathtaking piece, the joy of the revellers and the vibrant floral colors bringing the paintings sentiment to life. The celebration of life. The celebration of Spring.

To the Pagans celebrating the Equinox, Happy Ostara. To everyone else, Happy Vernal Equinox and/or Hoppy Easter.

Lady Chef Stampede Madeleine Kamman The French Chef Who Battled Julia Child And Survived

"Gesture to Lady Steam Crawl, Amanda Cohen's series about the world's peak compelling Lady Chefs! Clap fashionable to read her Q & A with us about the backing, or read on to learn better-quality about this week's Lady Steam..." Because the Lady Steam Crawl is absolutely said to tittle-tattle about peer of the realm chefs, I've been sacrilegious from that path a lot absolutely. Whether it's ROSAURA GUERRERO, the founder of ROSARITA FOODS, or AMY SCHERBER, the baker who founded AMY'S BREADS, I've been mixing it up and incarceration you off correct. In our time, I petition to keep it changeable by communication about one of the food world's peak wonderful provisions teachers, MADELEINE KAMMAN. Called the "the superego of modern America's food metamorphose" by the "New York Get older", she has been viewed as a cook's cook, the French steam who had a grudge with JULIA Inconsequential, a glum Yoda who skilled a era of cooks, a nonstop self-promoter, an be bothered, and a terror. Save for history is goodbye to site her, that's up to history. I unruffled petition to block with the facts. Innate in Paris, Kamman grew up on the complex, a touch provisions of her mother and grandmother, which all but vanished concluded Conception War II ("We lived on beets," she imaginary in the wake of detecting some beet swallow in a dish at a cafeteria. "It was the absolutely food we had. I can gossip you if there's a teaspoon in a quart."). Forward-thinking in life she would ascetically admonish chefs different PAUL BOCUSE for larceny the food that had been theoretical by their grandmothers and despoil all the relation (submit is no matter which to this reprimand, and some witty female French chefs different EUG'eNIE BRAZIER suppress been what went before). As a teenager she worked for her aunt's cafeteria in the LOIRE Predicament. She desirable to be a historian, but couldn't give somebody the use of to pay for better-quality than a year of researcher. She became a secretary (albeit one who laugh at three languages) and got a job with Swiss Air. She attended the Barrier Bleu, wedded an American, and stirred to Philadelphia where she continued working for Swiss Air until 1962 when she had her in the beginning son. Huskily the time she had her dash son in 1966, she began to teach French provisions classes at home, which came out of a amusing melancholy. "I went indoors transcultural bluster," she imaginary in a "New York Get older" seminar about moving to the Junction States, "not personality usefulness to speak my native discourse, eat my food, see my architecture, listen to my music. I got strep be greedy in the wake of strep be greedy. I was so introverted." In 1961, Julia Inconsequential had published "Mastering the Art of French Rations", which with pleasure became a best-seller, and in 1963 her uncultured observe advertise, "The French Steam," began to be show, so Americans desirable to know better-quality about French food and how to make it. This was the provocation of the American palate and Kamman was sureness submit in the middle of it. In 1968 she stirred to Boston and opened her cafeteria, CHEZ LA Pond MADELEINE, and THE Avant-garde Food lover, which was staffed by students from her school. At Chez La Pond Madeleine she was using young, chilis, and red preceding any other chefs in the US. In a lot of ways, she was measure to lay the research for the New American Fare that would awaken in the 1980s. She was correspondingly loud as hell. "The zeal for truth is maddening to other cultivation," she imaginary, but she refused to let that set her. She wrote a commentary to the "New York Get older" criticizing CRAIG CLAIBORNE, the food editor's, recipe for escargot. He visited her, wrote an essay about her that appeared in 1970 and she got her in the beginning book appreciation for "The Invention of a Build" from it. She has for example in print seven cookbooks, and they're all settle down in etching. In 1980, she stirred back to France, seeking a enlarged, better-equipped space, and opened a provisions school in Annecy, but returned to the US two go subsequently, unwilling that high French dues (and France's Bubonic plague sexism, Paul Bocuse liked to make charming statements that women belonged in the bedroom, not a professional kitchen) had jump the shuttering of her school. Her chore was in disconcert when she returned, with heaps cultivation claiming that she had washed out in France and was aristocratic as a steam. Her friend James Whiskers went to bat for her, letting cultivation in the food world know she was settle down submit, settle down Madeleine, settle down deep-seated, and she got her feet back under her. She stirred to Glenn, New Hampshire and opened a provisions school and cafeteria, AUBERGE MADELEINE, and as well as literary that she had body contamination. The bad quality. The quality that was goodbye to make a mess of her unequivocally if she didn't move her life. Decisive the cafeteria, she and her relatives stirred to California where she opened the Further education college FOR AMERICAN CHEFS in the Napa Predicament (she correspondingly embraced Buddhism). Napa felt different home to her being cultivation submit took food rigorously. "I ultimately found a place in the Junction States that I Iike," she imaginary. The Further education college has been stormily uncultured with sometimes 100 chefs jockeying for eight slots. In 2000, Kamman, as well as 69 go old, established to set teaching. Equally as well as she has in print books and enjoyed her relatives, and mellowed. All the same her students telephone her as obstinate, grave, and a traditionalist, those who counter to her teaching correspondingly telephone her as without fail affable and a real fortunate of endorsement in their lives and their careers. As for the grudge with Julia Child? Airplane that mellowed at the end. Ill-timed in her chore, Kamman decried Julia Child's The French Steam pointing out that Inconsequential was neither French nor a steam. "I am French! Why would they petition an American French chef?" She forbade her students from either reading Child's books or performance her take steps, and apparently wrote mean junk mail to Inconsequential, who reportedly turned them aristocratic to her lawyer. The clarification stung, but, being at a formal meal in 1985 Julia Inconsequential remarked of Kamman, "I shall pay for her by the concise hairs (stylish assistant of course) and I leave masticate her made flesh, section by section, in my food central processing unit." Ouch. Notably subsequently, any women were far better-quality spongy. Kamman imaginary better-quality absolutely, "It is not a blame of not being paid throw down. I don't know Mrs. Inconsequential, and she doesn't know me. I may vary with Mrs. Child's sending and what she does, but that doesn't mean the get down is detestable. I defer to what she has done has been very sturdy for the state, and I suppress been the heir." And Inconsequential herself imaginary that Kamman was not her critic and that she welcomed somebody in the business. For all I know, Madeleine Kamman is settle down made flesh, provisions for her grandchildren, incarceration up with the hundreds of her students who suppress become chefs input the world, and settle down provisions in her kitchen, different her mother, her grandmother, and all the deep-seated aspiration line of France's female cooks who improve out indoors the past, educational their country's rations but never being paid the relation until far too deceased.
