Be sure to give Boq a bigger cheer.

He's the one with all the know-how; I'm just plugging it all together.

Very true. Boq's been a big help for a lot.

Three cheers for Boq.

Hi, Lyrositor

I am stupid, and really I'm sorry. :oops:

Remember to register with me by PMing me: "register [password]" where "[password]" is a password of your choice (without the brackets).

When I was asked by Lyrobot in this way, I do not know how I should have answered.
I read several explanation, but never understand it.
Please teach how to convey passwords to Lyrobot.
My message does not reach Lyrobot, and answers always return in this way.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you just said, Toki.

in b4 Lyrositor

He's asking you to PM him the word "register" and a password of your choice,
so for example you could PM him "register ilovelyrobot" (that's i love lyrobot not i lovely robot :roll:

)
Then he'll tell you that you are registered and you can then go to his website and log in.
This will give you access to further features.

What Alien said.

So here's a working example:
1. Click on Lyrobot's name in the Age list.
2. Type: register a-super-secure-password
3. You're registered!

Hmm... I have bad news everybody. Apparently, the Vault makes checks on who can edit a marker game and who can't. So Lyrobot won't allow you to edit your marker games.

However, the marker exchange concept is still sound. So I'll just provide that.

Then, at a later date, I'll provide a client that can download your marker games to a text file which you can then edit, then reload into MO:ULa with the modified markers. :wink:

Yes, unfortunately, Lyrobot has problems when other Grey Hats enter The Fun House, because they like to page in objects for entertainment. Judging from the logs, someone paged in Jalak Dador, which made Lyrobot crash.

I don't really have a way to fix this, unless I rewrite the entire Uru Python scripts. The only thing I can do when that happens is reboot Lyrobot.

Okay... run with me here. When something gets paged-in... it is only seen by people who are already IN the Funhouse. If somebody comes into the funhouse afterward, they can't see the added stuff.

Is Lyrobot impacted the same way?

Maybe the simple solution is add a warp button to the Lyrobot page that would warp him out of the actual Funhouse hood... like maybe just into the hood instance of Ae'gura... or, hmm, does Lyrobot have his own Relto? Then, the Grey Hats can just remember to warp Lyrobot out of the funhouse before paging anything in... then just warp him back in, and he's unaffected because it was paged in during his absence & doesn't need to be rebooted.

Thank you very much.

I'll try it at once. :wink:

That's correct. Also remember that once something is paged in, it will not leave you until you restart the game; so you'll be seeing paged in Ages in your other Ages, for example.

That's a pretty good idea.

The only thing is, it will only work when Lyrobot is in full-screen mode, and that's not always the case. But if any Grey Hat is willing to invest a little extra effort, I'd be glad to help him. There is a Fun House instance of the city, for example (there is a Fun House instance of everything... almost).

Well, I think we're due for another release aren't we?

Lyrobot has been updated to version 1.1.2 (yes there was a 1.1.1, but it was just very minor fixes; read the Release Notes for all the details)! So what's new? The main new feature here is the Marker Game Exchange, which you can view on his website under the Games tab. To submit a game, just send it to Lyrobot like you would to a regular player. To get it back, PM him "play [id]" (without the quotes, where [id] is the ID of the desired game; e.g. "play 6").

That's not all though. On top of a few new standard responses, I've added more linking destinations: the GoG Hood, the Guild Pubs (except for GoC; for some reason, I couldn't link to it) and the Watcher's Pub, all accessible through the "link" command. Lyrobot also has a new Fun House command to control Yeesha: you can make her appear with "yeesha", dance with "yeesha dance", wave with "yeesha wave" and teleport to you with "yeesha warp" (no quotes). Hope you have fun controlling the Grower. :wink:

Last but not least, Lyrobot has developed a cure to the hallucinations oft seen in The Fun House: paged in Ages will no longer affect him, so that he can chug along in peace.

Share and Enjoy!

I like the Yeesha controls and the linking(will be extremely useful if someone mixallogies in the cleft) . I wish there was a help command or a "/?" command so I could see a list of all the commands and sub-commands. Also is the city Leryobot links you too, the Fun House one or the "real" one?

There already is such a command, the "help" command (no forward slash or quotation marks).

It's the real one; that is, the public one.
