I’ve been playing around with ScottKit and PerlScott, and I’ve noticed that they handle the light timer/countdown differently. If you compile the following ScottKit code and play it in ScottKit and then in PerlScott, you’ll find that the command-sequence GET LAMP, LIGHT LAMP, DROP LAMP, LOOK will r…

[image] heasm66: Or am I thinking wrong on this? It was just to confirm, through documentation, what you were saying.

I see, thanks. (In the first quote you seems to suggest that the terp should allow the user to ‘get fox’ the second time, but I understand it as it follows the rules set out in your second quote.)

[image] auraes: It’s in the documentation of The Adventure System and it’s quite obvious: If a verb-noun match was found in at least one action entry, but the conditions were not true in any of the matched actions, then the message “I can’t do that…yet” is displayed after all of the action ent…

You have this in your document: This is the first player input action. If the player types in LIGHT MATCH then this action is considered. If even one of the conditions of this action are not met, then ADVENTURE continues searching the actions for another LIGHT MATCH. If it finds another, it consid…

There is also this quote: When player input actions are being evaluated, the action entries are scanned in numeric order. When the verb and noun of an action entry match the player’s input, the conditions are evaluated. If all of the conditions were true, then the commands of this entry are perfor…

[image] pdxiv: Is there a different version of this document, page 2-5: advsystem.pdf 42.71 MB

[image] auraes: page 2-5: https://www.mocagh.org/miscgame/advsystem.pdf Thanks! Wow, that’s a very different version of the guide. The one i originally copied was ~54 pages, whereas that one is ~136 pages. There’s a lot of good information in there. I think I’ll quickly OCR that and put it…

Out of curiosity, and if you don’t know, you can also consult the files advdb.txt and ADV_HLP.txt

I’ve added the following to scott2zil. A new constant that determines how AutoGet/Drop should be handled ;"Sets if AutoGet/Drop should be handled as defined in 'The Adventure System' manual or handled as in ScottFree THE ADVENTURE SYSTEM If a verb-noun match was found in at least one action en…

[image] heasm66: The code in scott2zil is based on PerlScott and follows it pretty closely so if @pdxiv want to do something similiar in PerlScott you probably can find the corresponding code part to change easily. Cool, I might just do that! (Doing that in PerlScott/tensodoct will have to wa…
