Fix a subset of missing scenery irritations #384

Closed scrom closed 9 years ago

scrom commented 9 years ago

From an early playtest there were a bunch of bugs and scenery issues. This is a placeholder to fix those found so far (from the 1 play test).

Nested intangibles issue is interesting but an easy fix. Basically scenery is marked as "hidden" - nested scenery items are also marked as hidden. this was causing the random "spot something hidden" code to fire in artefact.examine.

This is now prevented by explicitly excluding that check when looking at scenery object types

read postcards in servery should say "there's one that looks interesting". (add interesting postcard syn as well) - done.

Slightly different solution. A postcard is hidden in the location so if a player examines the wall it says "you think it might be useful to take one" - if you say "get postcard" you'll get the hidden postcard.

I've added a postcard syn for the wall itself such that after collecting the real postcard from the room, attempting to get more will give a suitable message.

I wanted to hide the postcard "on" the wall itself but "getObject" always takes the first object found rather than descending into nested objects so if both the wall and postcard had a postcard syn it wouldn't work. (this is a deliberate performance decision)

"small kitchen area" is referenced in servery-north-west but not addressable - now a new location.
