They're molecules, dipshit.

I don't want to be "that guy", but technically, atoms make up molecules.

Never did any of this emu shit, do you just write scripts that cycle through GM commands?

Or can you more or less "hook" into the server?

(I'm a scientific programmer so sorry if this question appears dumb to actual programmers)

After reading all of this crap about guilds, RMT, and this dumbass Sirken....I'm glad I decided to go back to live lol. It was an interesting read for sure, but damn....what a bunch of fucking losers.

So the original client had /commands. But eqemu is sort of a reverse engineer that doesn't actually work the way it did on live. So most of those don't really work, and eqemu had to implement #commands. Those can be defined in the source, and access levels from 0 to 250 set in the db.

So a predefined #command can do anything that the C++ source code can do.

One of those commands that gives the greatest flexibility, is #perl, which lets you execute a line of perl code. So for example in one of my last GM events, I created a suit of armor and set up a series of perl command hotkeys to alter its resistances so that it was completely immune to all but one form of damage.

It had practical uses as well, such as giving out zonewide stacks of beer, or rezzing an entire zone full of corpses with a single button.

damn thats pretty sweet

That event looked like it was going to be pretty banging. Server just couldn't take more than 70 in that zone.

Uthgaard, can you debunk a mystery please?

Are 45 day server resets a real thing?

Shit I don't even remember. That event was mostly Hobby's idea, I just ran the perl scripts.

But what very few people realize is that on that gfay event, I ran a script that was supposed to give everyone in the zone their level * 10 plat. Except it wound up doing a few extra iterations and giving out a lot more... I wound up chasing a bunch of very understanding (and heavily encumbered) newbs around the rest of that afternoon.

I remember that. Everyone in the zone ended up getting 150k plat's worth in copper. At the time that was worth like 5 manastones. Broke my heart to delete it.
