Equipment Slot Manager about ranviermud HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey @shawncplus ! Ah sorry for the confusion, I wasn't thinking about putting it in Core...I was thinking about writing a Bundle.

@seanohue, I'd love to! exactly! Lets talk!

from ranviermud.

@seanohue I actually was planning on writing something for the exact same reasons as you, so I'd love to pitch in if I could. (this is holl0wstar).

from ranviermud.

Going to move this issue over to the ranviermud repo and label it bundle so we know

from ranviermud.

It seems like leaving the slot to a string in each equipment definition

slot is in metadata, it can be any value you want it to be. Items in core don't have a set slot, any item can be placed in any slot. It's up to whatever bundle is calling equip(item, slot) to determine that.

I think you're going to have to describe how you might use it because I'm not exactly understanding what you mean by your randomizing equipment.

At a glance it seems to me that you may want a class to manage this but I'm not seeing (at least at the moment) why such a class needs to be in core and not just part of your normal library

from ranviermud.

I'm planning on making a system similar to this as a Ranvier-compatible library/bundle (albeit not in core).
My motivations are similar to yours although I'd also like to use it to simulate body-part-specific wounds, effects, armor systems, and so on in a way that does not have duplicate code all over.
@ratacat let me know if you want to collaborate on that.

@namelessfaceless @ratacat Sounds like a good time to start a repo for this bundle/library and do some planning.

from ranviermud.

@seanohue @ratacat Agreed. We could discuss this over on Slack more.

from ranviermud.

@ratacat I'm gonna close this issue, looks like y'all are going to create a different repo for this

from ranviermud.

I made the repo here -- it is empty and the name is subject to change. I'll start on ideation for it tonight or tomorrow in the Issues section of the repo, but if you have feature requests before then, please submit them.

Ideally I'd want it to be a ranvier bundle but also have parts of it be usable as an npm lib for non-Ranvier games.
