New Content - Implemented Slow and Steady
- Thread starter Crowther
- Start date
The URL is visible on the profile of anyone in the path. An easy-to-remember person for now is CDMoyer. The URL, which needs to be sent using GET, is type69.php?date=2012-01-01. The date parameter is going to make it more complicated to handle than checking trendiness; the winter paths mean that simply checking the current year and adjusting from there doesn't quite work, and the limitation stops applying to a path as soon as it isn't current.

Exactly what I would have expected, but Jick has skipped a number in the past so I really wanted to know for sure.
When you are actually in a path with restricted item/etc usage, you can just load type69.php to see what is restricted based on the correct date. I expect the next step is to add a new Request class like TrendyRequest, and have similar handling. Stuff on the list isn't just comma-separated this time (there are <span> tags around each thing), so items with commas in the name can be properly parsed.

That's extra incoherent even for me.

That will work until Jick decides to put <span> in the name of an item. Come on, you know it could happen.

Another thing that might be handy for slow and steady is sorting food and booze by stat gain rather than adv count. So right now you can click "+mus only", "+mys only", "+mox only", and "per drunk", "per full", and "by room". Maybe unclicking "per drunk", etc. should do a sort by the stat that is checked off, and maybe remove the "only" part?
I plan to make everything there display 0 adv in the path, and then mainstat-giving items will be at the top automatically by default.

"Jick" and "standards" barely have a passing acquaintance with each other.
There's also an attribute that's unlikely to be part of an item's name, so it's probably safe.
Is there any reason to not make have_familiar() return false for off-limits familiars? That's how it already works for avatar paths.

Zero adventures from food, booze and spleen is working right. The item manager now sorts on mainstat gain. Familiars are still a problem. Boy is this path crazy slow. I don't plan to do a second run. It's like oxy, without most of my toys. At least I'm doing softcore, so I can pull and eat pies to skip quests.
I noticed that too, but I haven't started looking into it yet. I suspect it would also show up in HC with "switch blockedfamiliar".
