Autoposting Announce and Events to the Forums
Hello Imperian!
This is a post testing the ability for announce and events posts to be
automatically posted to the Imperian News section on the forums.
Future posts should provide a link at the bottom to where the post may be
discussed.
Assuming there's no issues, it should already be the case with this post!

Re: I HEART
Much love to the help I've been extended since joining Kinsarmar. In no specific order, @Kamamul , @Quasimei, @Ruga, @Galt, and especially @Pellerin, who made the grave mistake of allowing me to be his protege.

Black Lives Matter
Over the last week, millions of people have protested the murders of
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others. Citizens of the
United States and other countries are demanding justice and equity.
We're seeing a movement for change that hasn't been seen in our
lifetimes, and it's long overdue.
First, we stand with the Black Lives Matter movement. We stand against racism. We stand against police brutality. We stand against systemic injustice.
That said, what are a bunch of words from our little company going to do in the grand scheme? Not much. Real change doesn't come from making posts on social media and sending newsletters. Real change comes from taking direct action. Real change comes from replacing ineffective and bad leaders and changing harmful laws and procedures.
We recently watched Barack Obama's speech about the George Floyd protests. We're not going to pretend everyone shares his political views, but we feel Mr. Obama made good points that transcend our differences.
His main point was that while the protests highlight problems in our society we need to combine protests with action and create realistic solutions based on research and data shown to effective. We need to make local leaders put evidence-based procedures in place that we know work. If you haven't watched this presentation, here is a link:
In short, protest if you're willing, and then take other action as well.
What action can you take? You can call local and national leadership,
sign petitions, and donate to charities and programs. And, of course,
you can and should vote out those who act as impediments to change.
Many of us at Iron Realms have been out protesting and making donations to a wide variety of groups related to Black Lives Matter, and we strongly encourage you to do the same. Here are some of the groups we've been giving to, in case you're looking for somewhere to give and aren't sure where:
In solidarity,
Jeremy Saunders, Matt Mihaly, and the Iron Realms team.

Re: Mudlet UI
So, this hasn't gone anywheres, I just haven't been posting to the forums.
I have renamed the system after another spelling of Valkryie since I managed to snag it as a domain, Valkryja
It now has a launch screen that allows you to jump into any of the supported MUDs:
Many classes' default bashing strikes are now concat'd, as well as mob deaths, to cut down on the spam when bashing:
You can now target up to ten different targets, which Valkryja will iterate through if you send just st:
When reporting targets, it will also send it to ring if that is enabled, including your room num (this can be disabled). If the PVP mode is enabled, it will automatically unally and enemy the current target.
I have created a means of provided text of both Valkryja system messages and the mud messages captured with my new Logsogumandr module. Included is an incomplete and probably dodgy norrønt translation of a very limited number of things.
You can now gag all the spammy realm messages from the plagues and Fight Club. Thank the dead gods. You can disable/enable that as you desire. They're separate options.
The autobasher will automatically wield weapons it you set left and right to appropriate vnums. I need to work on automating this further.
Gold and credits display on the hotbar is now updated much more reliably. I need to take the tokens display out, but I've been lazy about it since you still technically get them.
Non-binary gender now captures properly.
Defences squelching for repeat messages now much more reliable.
We now track the number of curatives we have available, and loss/gain of clotting balance, and work has begun on tracking what abilities the player has available to a given character.
There are now icons for the various balances:
The code for tracking the gain and loss of different statuses now is much better optimised. It also throws events your own code can work off of.
The ingame ASCII map is now displayed along with room information in a Map panel. I prefer it to the Mudlet mapper, which I've never gotten to work properly sticking it into the UI. But I suppose someone enterprising could overlay it if they desired.
Hotbars for several classes have been filled in, though I still want to get some consensus for quite a few of them as to what people value having on there:
There's a lot of boring backend changes to better clean up, modularise, and optimise the code, too, but you can find the boring details on the gitlab instance if that appeals to you.
So to end on, lets step back a moment, here's what the full UI looks like:
A gentle reminder that Valkryja's free distribution is under the AGPL, which is a copyleft license which requires clear and present attribution if you creative derivative works.
My next focus is on redoing an auto-installer, I had one, but it was hacky anyways, and stopped working.
