Examine System: Lore and Flavor Text (with commands)
-
The examine system will now include player-specified "flavor text" and "lore text." These will appear in the chat log when you examine a player (or any other creature that has these values set). These items can be changed via command line at any time.
Flavor text will be available to everyone and can be used as a supplement to the description box in the examine window. To set this, use the command:
!description flavor
(You replace "<description>" with whatever it is you want the flavor text to say.)
Lore text will only be available to people possessing a lore (or spellcraft) skill of the specified amount. Please note: THIS IS NOT A ROLL. That means if you specify a "DC" of 5, the examiner must have at least 5 lore (sheet) or they will not see the information. That means if you set a "DC" to 30, likely only a bard or two will ever know the information.
There are two tags: "lore" and "spell" (not case sensitive). "Lore" (obviously) represents a lore DC, and "spell" represents a spellcraft DC.
The actual description you set will use tags to denote specific information with DCs within the text. For example:
"You don't need lore to read this. [lore 5]You need 5 lore to read this. [lore 10]You need 10 lore to read this. [spell 10]You need 10 spellcraft to read this."
OR
"[lore 0] You don't need lore to read this. [lore 5]You need 5 lore to read this. [lore 10]You need 10 lore to read this. [spell 10]You need 10 spellcraft to read this. [spell 0]You don't need any spellcraft to read this."
To set lore text, use the command:
!description lore
(You replace "<description>" with whatever it is you want the lore text to say.)</description></description>
