Miscellaneous: Classic system messages from old log files

[Rygar]

Noticing some more things as I go through these files (I'm building a parser to compare P99 log messages to these logs... but its slow going with a 2 month old baby and a Three-nager).

In the above example where he died from the charbone skeleton there is this line:

[Sun Nov 11 23:38:16 2001] You have been slain by charbone skeleton!
[Sun Nov 11 23:38:18 2001] Returning to home point, please wait...
[Sun Nov 11 23:38:18 2001] LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
[Sun Nov 11 23:38:45 2001] You have entered Firiona Vie.
[Sun Nov 11 23:38:45 2001] You have joined the group.
[Sun Nov 11 23:38:50 2001] It begins to rain.

Just a generic load message, but on P99 we get a zone specific message and an additional line:

[Wed Dec 07 19:57:54 2016] You have been slain by an elemental warrior!
[Wed Dec 07 19:57:54 2016] You have lost experience.
[Wed Dec 07 19:57:58 2016] Returning to The Hole, please wait...
[Wed Dec 07 19:57:58 2016] LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
[Wed Dec 07 19:58:16 2016] You have entered The Hole.

It doesn't appear as if the 'You have lost experience.' message should be given? I actually don't have the raw logs on this computer, but can double check tomorrow to confirm.



Another message is the drinking of alcohol. The message you receive when you drink a beverage yourself is correct, but when you see others drink alcohol you get a wrong message.

Classic message:

[Thu Nov 15 20:04:33 2001] Glug, glug, glug... Operian takes a swig of Fish Wine.

P99 message:

[Sat Sep 03 09:41:13 2016] Glug, glug, glug... Fannop takes a drink from a Fish Wine.

Lastly for tonight, I found these messages in mcoy's logs:

[Wed Nov 14 01:35:53 2001] You must stand up and be still to wave.
[Tue Dec 18 16:34:54 2001] You must stand up and be still to rudely gesture.
[Tue Jun 25 00:34:02 2002] You must stand up and be still to perform this action.

When I tried to sit and /wave and /rude on P99 I just get the generic 'You must stand up and be still to perform this action.'

I don't know what other emotes had specific standing instructions, but those 2 for sure did.


I'll keep posting messages as I find them... thanks for caring.
