4:03 am JoKe 5x slower consumption?
4:03 am JoKe Ouch, that's going to result in a lot of dead adventurers in UT3
4:05 am JoKe Often you don't have any other outs available that early than just drinking some healing liquid and hoping for the best, slowing that down just basically removes that out.
4:08 am JoKe I'd be fine with slowing down eating, but removing healing liquids mid-combat completely is a bit too far IMO
5:46 am fejoa Might this function explain what sort of volumes are needed to regenerate limbs and heal hit points: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/blob/0708e1fc1f7a1478298c5697...
7:20 am 4zb4 I do agree with JoKe. Either healing liquids need to be more potent (to allow for adequate healing when sipped rather than quaffed) or we need to allow for the current drinking time to remain the same while still accommodating the code for smaller liquid quantities (somehow)
7:21 am 4zb4 Or maybe we could have an "apply" command for bottles that involves dumping the liquid all over yourself. This could allow for lesser healing than actually taking the time to drink it, but is much faster.
7:22 am 4zb4 Also would let you do dumb things like pour acid on your head
7:22 am 4zb4 Or smart things like extinguish a fire
8:41 am Ighalli "No time like the present" <- I saw "No time at the present"! I'm sorry!
8:43 am Ighalli Yeah, applying liquid to spill it on yourself is a good idea.
8:44 am Ighalli You guys think chugging a full liter of liquid in combat is a feature instead of an oversight? Try chugging a liter of water as fast as you can and time it. We'll make it that fast.
8:45 am Ighalli Combat healing = wand of resurrection or, better yet, read a scroll of teleportation (which are useless in combat now, because healing is strictly faster & better) and then heal up out of the fight.
8:57 am Ighalli 4zb4, you could make it so that you can combine two containers of the same liquid into one. That's something I didn't get to and filling up a bottle with vials is pretty useful.
9:48 am Serin-Delaunay Applying liquid containers to a tile you're not standing on would also serve as a non-ridiculous way to dispose of unwanted fluids, which at present must be done by dipping clean weapons or burning items in them.
10:13 am JoKe @Ighalli, wand of rez is way too rare to be a dependable combat heal especially in early game (does it even heal?)
10:14 am Ischaldirh I was actually thinking that being able to dump liquid over your head would be a good command
10:15 am JoKe Yeah, 'a'pplying things to dump container contents in general would be a good thing to have
10:16 am Ischaldirh Would you be able to dump cans of food out? Would it leave a lump?
10:17 am Ischaldirh Also, the reason I thought about dumping liquids over yourself, was that when your limbs are on fire you can't put them out, you have to let them burn
11:30 am capristo I feel like too much discussion gets lost in the shoutbox. Even with a working history that would be the case
11:30 am capristo I wonder if forums are just inadequate. Too slow / too bulky with everyone's avatars and sigs, etc.
11:30 am capristo maybe each topic should have a live discussion or something
11:34 am Serin-Delaunay Dumping liquids on one's own head would be the special case of dumping liquids where the selected direction is 5.
11:39 am Serin-Delaunay Would be useful for healing yourself if drinking 1000 millilitres starts taking a long time (and you don't mind having a weapon covered in healing liquid), healing allies that refuse to drink, liquid disposal, dousing flames, and attacking enemies with unarmoured bodyparts.
