An ascii map would not, as far as I can tell, prevent me from botting mobs. I am unlcear what it is that you are doing that you think prevents scripting at this point I guess, or even what having a coordinate based ascii map has to do with PvP combat that would render it more or less useless to script and still retain the necessity of fast reflexes.
I suppose I would have to try them, which is sort of a bummer as I am a serial addict mudder. I am pretty much fixated on my present One True Mud. LOL
But I do hear you. I do. I just am not clear exactly how it works. To me, if it is live, anything that can be sent along in text can be read and trigger a response, and the simple trigger is the root of all evil here as far as I can tell.
Heck, if people are willing to reverse engineer client software, truly, truly this is a lost cause as far as I can tell. Surely designing a script even to read ascii input could be done easier than reverse engineering software! Heck, reverse engineering software and fiddling with it is flatly illegal is it not? Or is that only if you then try to sell it?
Correct me if I am wrong, but there is also a difference of perspective between the two of you in the sense that Kavir does not see fast reflex based systems as necessary for excitement, whereas Don, you seem to be the one who wants reflex to be a big part of things? I can understand Kavir's solutions to an extent. He is bypassing the whole reflex question, it seems to me. I am not sure what your solution has been.
