OH BOY!! PEDIT (path edit)
You will either need a spec_proc or an entry in mobact.c to kick this
off for each enabled/flagged mob.
the code for going to a place can be found in graph.c
you can probably strip most of the needed code from zedit and then
some from medit. Putting the path stuff into the .mob files just
seems messy.
C{ommand} 0500 wake
G{o} 0525 500
C{ommand} 0526 emote slops the pigs.
G 0700 502
C 0715 emote fires up the still
.

so far i have Go directives and command directives.
probably need a P directive for activating mobprogs.
this doesn't seem that bad actually....

Subject: {Circle} Mob schedules?

<stuff about silly builders snipped>
What is needed is some sort of easily definable scheduling for
mobs. Something that can be generalized like
Mob: Farmer Joe-Bob-billy-smith-bubba.
Schedule:
1. wake up at 5 am.
2. go to room 500 (pig pen) and slop the pigs at 5:25
3. go to room 502 (hidden shack) and make moonshine at 7:00.
.
.
.
.
89. beat the wife at 9:55 (run mobprog/script "beatwife")
90. turn in for the night at 10:00.
Obviously, the can be complicated beyond all recoginition, but i
suppose I can deal with simple for now. Figure that a minor bit of energy
would result in an effective (?..well.. maybe) town guard? Or shop keepers
that didn't just sit in their store for years on end. Or a drunk who
would occasionaly get the hell out of the main town and go to sleep in the
dump.
Here's what I think would be needed, but tell me what you see
wrong, or could add?
Ability to get a mob to walk/go to a room at a specified time
(track to a room)
Ability to get a mob to say/do something at a specified time
Ideas? Should this just be a mobprog or script? I kinda like it
seperate, but thats why i'm throwing it out to people who may have thought
about it. Easy-to-use(parse)-formats? Anything really.
