But we talked about every thing anyone could possible cover (briefly) in about an Hour i think. On of the things he had mentioned was redesigning a mud to using message ques rather than the waay it is done now. He said in the mud he did this with the increase in speed was tremendous and very well worth it. To answer a few other topics talked aobut earlier (multi attacks) he had added a timming variable in with the que's so that he no longer had to worry about multi attacks. (i.e. fido attcks every 2 secs and you attack every 3 secs. you attack fido fiso attacks you 2 secs fiso attacks you you attack fiso 1 sec later another sec fiso atacks you the 2 secs later you both atack each other. :) He said this caused a stagger effect that which added realism. You can also alow dex to adjust this time and add the time to every thing like spells actions skills (i.e. the dig command and TinTin probs would be solved). I just thought this may be an appropiate ssubject to bring up and hope someone finds it useful. I am just wondering why something like this didn't take along time ago???
