Alternative skill or level systems? #29

Closed LoidThanead closed 7 years ago

LoidThanead commented 9 years ago

Hello there,

I'm considering various MUD engines in order to decide which one to use as base for a MUD of my own.

I'm looking for the option to have skill levels, a system where skills get stronger and more effective the more you use them.

Additionally, I'm entertaining the idea of using a leveling system where instead of defeating monsters the player must perform certain actions to gain XP for their class. (I.e., a player of the 'farmer' class must plant crops to gain XP.)

How hard would out be to implement such systems in this engine?

Thanks in advance, Loid.

There isn't much of an existing skill system. You could replace it with a different system in an afternoon probably.

Thank you for the quick reply! So if I understand you correctly, I would just replace the existing code? There is no way to hook in a new module while leaving the engine itself as is?

If you're developing the system for your own game, as you described, then why would you need to keep the old player and skill files? That seems like it would just produce unnecessary confusion for you down the road.

As ingcake implied, just fork the project over and develop your own skill/level system. This project is mostly meant to be a lightweight engine, so there isn't much game logic there (I assume this is intentional).
