Title: different names for monsters
Post by Anterias on 06/15/03 at 06:14:28

maybe i'm wrong here,
but is it possible to change the names of monsters into monster(x)
the x mean a mumber like orc(10) or so

all orcs have at the moment the same name
so it is impossible to look at the orc(or other monsters) i want to

There still isn't pictures for everything yet. We need to concentrate on getting the monsters without pictures a picture, instead of giving one with one another.

i dont want more pictures for one group of monsters
i only want that i can, when i "look" at an orc(or something else), see how much hp he had left(like mortally wounded or healthy condition)

at the moment
i can click at the first monster in the group of one kind of monsters or the last
i ever see the same

and i think that when a monster spawn and he get a number
i will not look at one(the first i think) orc
i will look at the orc with the number x

the problem exectly
when i hunt brown bears and someone run throu the place where i am many other brown bears come in
and i can't find out which one i hit already

not only brown bears
with all kinds of monsters i have the problem

i want kill the monster with not so much hp first
but at the moment i can't do that

Isnt it so that no matter which one u click u always attack the upper one first, so theirs no need to check theire healths cuz u cant fight them anyways untill u finsihed of the first one

You Mean.......

Heres the Screen.
_______________
Orc(1)
Orc(2)
Orc(3)
Orc(4)
Player 1
Player 2
______________

Right? That looks tacky in my opinion, i see no need for this to be added.

maybe they don't have to make it so it shows the actual number, but instead you just know the top as 1 second as 2

I have seen muds distinguish a difference as such - the monsters aren't numbered, but you can attack specific ones by using a name extention; ie. /a orc.2 to attack the second orc or /use <item name>.3 (for having 3 of the same item).
It'd obviously be an improvement - though it was brought up before, not sure what the result of the conversation then was...

By the looks of this I doubt the other was a hit.

I always wondered why the same monster on the square have the same lookover when you have one at mort, and the others arent mort...

Wonder if stealing gold is still the same... *Steal all the gold off one the others on the square oddly have no more gold after that either*

When stealing gold it does the same stupid thing...

Like i said if u fight 3 orcs no matter which one u click u always attack the upper one first

I brought up the suggestion of being able to kill individual monsters when theres more then one on the square at the time, same thing for stealing, it got shot down, I don't feel like searching for the post right now, but anyways, I don't see what the problem is here, since no matter which monster you click on, you'll be attacking the one with the least amount of hp as long as it is the same type of monster.

But if youve got like 30 of the same monster on the square shouldnt they ALL have the same ammount of money on them?

Let me explain...

When you steal all the gold possible from one monster, and then try to steal from the next monster down the line it, oddly enough, has NO GOLD to steal... But upon killing it you receive the gold...

Anyone else find that.... well odd?

Jinx nods her head in agreement with Bean

It's so you have to kill the monster you just stole from to get to steal from the next one, or something like that. They had changed it because it was too easy for people to make gold in some places or something like that.
