MSDP: bugs, suggestions, requests.

[Tuck]

Yo,

we are looking for msdp fixed/advances. Let's collect them and bug imms to implement it. Thanks for your opinions.
First of all, msdp help file is not up to date, as i can see. Please update it.

Bugs:
1a. WEAPON_DAM is frozen, i have it 19, not matter what i use or naked, we also need WEAPON_DAM_CAP.
1b. WORLD_TIME is permanent 0.
1c. My SPELL_BONUS_CAP is 137, if i get moar spellbonus than cap, it's reset to negative value (i reported it long ago).
1d. Msdp do not work at all while shifted.
1e. ROOM_EXITS separated by strange symbols, please fix it

Suggestions/needs:
2a. We deadly need msdp variable for SPELLSAVES/SPELLSAVES_CAP.
2b. Var that display active spells on players, including buffs/debuffs.
2c. Var with value of room type: inside/outside. There is var TERRAIN, but it's no use, as i can see.
2d. Var to display AC_CAP.
2e. Vars to display str/int/wis/dex/con CAPs.
2f. Maybe implement Var to display group members names/their hps/their mana/their mvs (submited by Vasu). List, separated by commas will be cool.

Thanks Akaya for pointing me to @MSDP.ROOM_EXITS unofficial variable

[*Splork*]

The room_exits odd character is actually not a bug but we should probably try to replace it with a comma or something else.

[*Splork*]

I second these requests! as you can see from my other post.

Ones I'd like to see:
- better spell Affects variable
- wholist (with titles, levels, etc)
- wholist to show local people and locations
- inventory
- worn.all, worn.<slot> for equipment
- saving throws?

I'd also like to get something working with the mapper in mudlet, but I haven't had time to even start researching this so I have no idea if it exists already or is impossible.

While i'm ok with most of your request, i don't see why do we need wholist, inventory, and worn.all in MSDP vars.

You can write parser for your client for this things easily.

If possible, please add msdp var for Aerial Servant hp %, very helpful for clerics.

Bump.
Any news on group list as msdp value? Even with same syntax that "affects" value have for simplicity.
Would be very good additional for group healers and leaders. I'd love to see basic list with name, hp and mana.

It is posible to request group command each turn for that purpose, and even gag it after, but thats quite spammy anyway.

Also, there is kinda bug with Stats_perm values while in form. Some of them(at least checked for dex), shows value increased by 1. Though no items +stats could raise it to that max. Or better fix forms with that values
Stats like weapon_dam,spell_bonus etc kinda not working with forms as well.
