Ancient Cyclops Death Message / Hasten text
So, I was digging through some of my old files recently and I came across this screenshot:
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As luck would have it, I even have the logfile from this event: [Tue Aug 13 05:36:48 2002] An ancient cyclops hits YOU for 68 points of damage. [Tue Aug 13 05:36:48 2002] An ancient cyclops hits YOU for 27 points of damage. [Tue Aug 13 05:36:50 2002] You regain your concentration and continue your casting. [Tue Aug 13 05:36:50 2002] an ancient cyclops was hit by non-melee for 663 points of damage. [Tue Aug 13 05:36:50 2002] Your target is immune to the stun portion of this effect. [Tue Aug 13 05:36:53 2002] You haven't recovered yet... [Tue Aug 13 05:36:53 2002] You haven't recovered yet... [Tue Aug 13 05:36:54 2002] You begin casting Ice Comet. [Tue Aug 13 05:36:59 2002] Taking a screenshot... [Tue Aug 13 05:37:02 2002] an ancient cyclops was hit by non-melee for 1120 points of damage. [Tue Aug 13 05:37:02 2002] An ancient cyclops's skin is rent by massive shards of deadly ice. [Tue Aug 13 05:37:02 2002] You have slain an ancient cyclops! [Tue Aug 13 05:37:02 2002] You gain experience!! [Tue Aug 13 05:37:02 2002] an ancient cyclops's corpse says 'Aaarrghh!! My precious ring!!' [Tue Aug 13 05:37:07 2002] Taking a screenshot... Yes, it's out of era - but it got me wondering... I have in-era logs for other NPCs commenting on their death: [[Mon Nov 12 18:33:17 2001] A Tesch Mas Gnoll hits Stormli for 52 points of damage. [Mon Nov 12 18:33:17 2001] Jabn bashes a Tesch Mas Gnoll for 8 points of damage. [Mon Nov 12 18:33:17 2001] a Tesch Mas Gn's corpse says 'My comrades will avenge my death.' [Mon Nov 12 18:33:17 2001] A Tesch Mas Gn's skin freezes over. [Mon Nov 12 18:42:30 2001] a stone skeleton was hit by non-melee for 625 points of damage. [Mon Nov 12 18:42:30 2001] A stone skeleton combusts. [Mon Nov 12 18:42:30 2001] You have slain a stone skeleton! [Mon Nov 12 18:42:31 2001] a stone skelet's corpse says 'My comrades will avenge my death.' [Mon Nov 12 18:42:31 2001] A stone skelet combusts. I noticed the names become truncated once the mob is dead as well, but that's beside the point. Should the AC have a death message lamenting the loss of his ring? I don't see one from when I last killed him anyway: [Fri Sep 01 22:23:37 2017] You crush an ancient cyclops for 36 points of damage. [Fri Sep 01 22:23:37 2017] You have slain an ancient cyclops! [Fri Sep 01 22:23:37 2017] You gain experience!! [Fri Sep 01 22:23:38 2017] You receive 9 gold, 1 silver and 4 copper from the corpse. On a semi-related note, Hasten's text is slightly different: [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [Wed Aug 14 01:25:36 2002] Hasten Bootstrutter says 'Stopped, I have. Greet you, I do. What business do we have? Hmm? Speak up!!' [Wed Aug 14 01:25:48 2002] You say, 'Hail, Hasten Bootstrutter' [Wed Aug 14 01:25:48 2002] Hasten Bootstrutter says 'Stopped, I have. Greet you, I do. What business do we have? Hmm? Speak up!!' [Wed Aug 14 01:25:53 2002] Serane tells the guild, 'DING 30' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:00 2002] Teladar tells the guild, 'Gratz!!' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:00 2002] You say to your guild, 'grats' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:04 2002] Rahlee tells the guild, 'woo woo!' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:04 2002] Ghaziya tells the guild, 'Gratz' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:08 2002] Minsc tells the guild, 'Hi and Grats..)' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:11 2002] You say, 'Hail, Hasten Bootstrutter' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:11 2002] Hasten Bootstrutter says 'Stopped, I have. Greet you, I do. What business do we have? Hmm? Speak up!!' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:14 2002] Teladar tells the guild, 'hey minsc' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:22 2002] You say, 'Hail, Hasten Bootstrutter' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:22 2002] Hasten Bootstrutter says 'Stopped, I have. Greet you, I do. What business do we have? Hmm? Speak up!!' [Wed Aug 14 01:26:29 2002] Taking a screenshot... vs P99: [Sat Sep 02 00:08:20 2017] You say, 'Hail, Hasten Bootstrutter' [Sat Sep 02 00:08:20 2017] Hasten Bootstrutter says, 'Stopped I have done. Greet you I will. What business do we have? Hmm? Speak up!!' Yeah, it's from 8/2002 but I figured it was worth bringing up. The devs already have these logs from a couple years ago, I just came across supporting screenshots. -Mcoy | ||

I thought I saw the AC say that about his "precious ring" here on P99. Is it possible you were too far away to hear him?

Hrm - I've killed him with a cleric, a mage, and a monk. I checked the cleric's first and then thought about the distance so then I checked the monk - that's the log I posted. Still possible I have them turned off or something and I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Hasten's text is still different though - granted it's a 2002 log so it may have been changed after "classic". -Mcoy | ||

Well, I have corpses speaking both before and after that time so /shrug. I guess it's possible I turned it off for almost two years:
Fri Jan 27 21:09:23 2017] Kurrpok Splitpaw 's corpse says 'Ggggrrrrr... Bark... Bark... My eye... Bark!' [Thu May 30 22:34:57 2019] Ghanex Drah 's corpse says 'Aroow! Though my body is destroyed my spirit will return, thus is the blessing of my immortality!' | ||

The SRo AC has the death message, the OOT one does not. Not sure why this is.
