Case insensitivity

ID:138309 Nov 11 2000, 6:48 pm
Zilal	While I do prefer the current case insensitivity to the past sensitivity, is it possible to make it so that if--for instance--Stone (uppercase) and a stone (lowercase) were both in range, and I type "kiss Stone" I will always get Stone, and "kick stone" will always give me the stone? Or is it already like that and I am doing something wrong? Z

That's how it is supposed to work. I'll test it.

mob/verb/check(O as anything in list("Duck","duck"))
usr << "You chose [O]."

If I type "check duck" it will print, "You chose Duck." Since in Cerulea's parsing system you are really choosing from a list of names rather than a list of mobs and objs, this matters. And I presume it matters in other places and in other games too.

Also... if I have Stone and stone as choices, there seems to be no possibility for expansion. I have to type the whole word out (whichever word I want).

And didn't tab use to expand the verb for you as fully as it could? Like if I have a verb throw(obj/O as obj in usr,mob/M as mob in oview()) and I have only one obj on me, and there is only one mob in oview(), typing throw-tab would expand to "throw book Tom"? Even if it didn't in the past, it would be neat if it did now.

You are correct, Z. Sounds like a bug.

Yup, that's a bug too.

It should work, but it doesn't. Three for three! Dang.

Will fix!

Spuzzum	Will fix! Speaking of which, verbs in sequence, eg. "lunge;bash;" no longer work. It interprets it as a single verb now. I've tried the other combination I could think of, too: "lunge\nbash"
