Subj: Old style Chaos weapons
Posting at the behest of an unnamed GM. They asked for a reminder after the auction to look into the old style chaos weapon and see if they can play well with stow/get/maybe bonding. As of last I checked the inventory verbs thing it is a new item every time it changes stats. I am not sure if this is also true for bonding as I have not tested.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the stream that falls from the hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took.

I took a look at the old script to update for the auction and quickly closed it and created a new script. These do not play well with anything, in any system, ever. Abandon hope all ye who enter here style nope.

Maybe the unnamed GM wants a pet project, but it was too much for me to tackle.

I wrote a solution to this for my weapon that has Goryscripts on it. The same solution works for chaos weapons (I actually thought this up because of my chaos maul).

Do one of two things:

1. Create a small stormfront/wizard script that merely does the following (using the noun maul as an example): put ready weapon my maul, put sheathe. Name it .sheathe and train yourself to type the verb with the period at the beginning

OR the easier method

2. Create a Lich alias that encompasses how you type sheathe (I type “shea” for example) and make shea=ready weapon my [weapon], sheathe

I’ve got the old style chaos weapons fixed up, that’ll be out later tonight. I’ll look at Gory weapons and these new urnon weapons too, give me a bit!

Old style chaos weapons and new style urnon chaos weapons should now be completely friendly to STOW/GIRD/SHEATHE/READY/etc.

Gory weapons are a substantially more complicated task due to how many ways they can change description. Not a quick fix like these were, I’ll put it on my backburner list for a rainy day though!

Super cool.

My urnon-capped chaos staff from the God Auction no longer flares after this change… it still adjusts to -DS and the symbol on the cap changes colors… but I’ve hunted with it for hours and it hasn’t flared once

Wasn’t me! Far more likely something got crossed when Creature Bane runestaff flares were added a few days ago. Let me drop Estild a note and we’ll see what we can come up with.

Gemstone terrifies me sometimes. How tightly-coupled is the code for this stuff? D=

Pretty much all flares run through the same place eventually, regardless of where they came from.

The issue with chaos runestaves should now be resolved, Estild has pointed out the error of my ways and how it was 100% my bad!
