[WCCMMUD] MajorMud - Consider supporting Megamud default settings for global commands and messages #26

Open fletcherm opened 3 years ago

I expect that our largest, long-term user group will be people scripting Majormud. And with Megamud specifically.

Attached is a screenshot of Megamud's default global commands and settings. Long term let's seek to support these defaults.

This is low priority and cam come well after basic Majormud and other module support.

Relevant commands and strings from the screenshot:

I am not sure about these two items in the screenshot:

@jnfisher Do you recall if these items are Majormud specific and not part of the BBS?

I believe speech and broadcast are MajorMud specific, but not 100% sure.

Speech prefix is used in MajorMUD to differentiate between a game command and something you're just trying to say. "." is the proper command in MajorMUD, so it's already correct.

Broadcast prefix was used if the BBS had a global commands package that supported a global chat channel. You wouldn't need it here since MajorMUD has a global chat command "gos".

The BBS Global Message part was so you could tell MegaMUD how to identify a global chat message to log it to the Conversations window. Again, you wouldn't need to worry about this because MegaMUD recognizes "gos" messages by default.
