Auto Bard Lyrics

[adamantineman]

Okay, so I like to download stuff, mostly mods and scripts from nwvault to pick apart.

I recently downloaded World of Greyhawk and found a interesting idea.

It has a 'Quill of naming' which bards can acquire and rename stuff, but also there is a desk which the bard can write lyrics, after you've composed your lyrics, you're given either the Bard Song, or Curse song you wrote as an item, when the bard uses his/her bard song or curse song, the lyrics are automatically sung.

I haven't picked apart the script yet but thought it was interesting for those who don't want to have to type out their song all the time. (note you do have to hide the lyrical sheet items in containers and leave out the one you want sung in your inventory).

I have a condensed version of the mod so anyone can play with it. You do have to be bard. If you'd like to see it I can email you the mod, as the memory is way over the limit of the Attachment max size.

Nice idea that.

In the mean time, it's worth noting that by copying plain text and pasting with "ctrl v" you can have significantly more in a text macro than you can by entering the text manually.

It make still take up two or three text macros but it's a viable alternative until we get something like this added.

If anyone needs help with this send me a tell in game and I will do my best to assist.

I added that to a couple of other servers and have it "on the list" for here. Other than the Item Renaming. PC Crafted items will soon have their creators names attached and renaming of some items could glitch some scripts down the road.

We will be adding a "written" note system as well as a way for PCs to create their own books (and copy them to resell or give away to others) and some other goodies soon. There's alot of good stuff on the Vault ... most just either has glitches/exploits or I'm converting from being reliant on a Data Base to operate. (We are/will use DBs as needed, but more often than not we can make do with out them.)
