Login-Tutorial

by Mellifluous
This Login()-Tutorial was built by me because of how many people who really need help with this kind of thing. So, I thought that it would be nice to actually release a tutorial on it. [More]

Fixes:

Runtime error is now fixed...You used to get it while choosing the monkey. This will happen no more.


Version 4 --

This version, I changed the login() procedure, instead of using the lousy "goto" proc, I am using a "while" proc. This makes the tutorial more efficient and better for newcomers to learn the "right" ways of coding a login system.

I have also added a "Note.dm"... I SEVERELY advise you read it thoroughly!

Side-note; This version update was done thanks to Lummox JR, if it wasn't for him then this update would not have been done.


Version -- 3

In this version the following things have been added/fixed.

New Admin verbs: AddGM() and RemoveGM() (The names state what they do :P)

Fixed the player-assigned name. This now lets you pick your name and assign it to your mob, so really you are just naming your mob/character. (This one is owed to Super16 as he was the one who helped me solve this little problem...Thanks Super16!)


Version -- 2

Well, in this update, I thought you guys and girls out there should have some power over the players of your games.

So, I added in some Administration verbs in for the users of this tutorial/lib.


Version -- 1

The Login()-Tutorial is made for mainly the newcomers and the people who are in need of help with Character Creation. Many people have come for help with this so I thought that a tutorial on this would be necessary.

Things included so far:

Coding:
-------

Character Creation -- To create your characters.
Two mobs -- Human and Monkey, you will find out why I used those when you check out the source.
A testing map -- Pure grass.
Three interaction verbs -- To talk to people ^_~ (Say, Shout and WorldTalk)
Three special verbs -- Two for the human and one for the Monkey.
Words from me -- Hehe, just afew words from me.

Icons:
------
(Note: The icons are not professionally made...I am most likely the worst icon maker ever. Also this is only a tutorial...Its not like you will get great icons as I am not here to show you how to create icons)

Grass -- For the turf
Human -- Human's icon
Monkey -- Monkey's icon
