  • LADY and Other People ;)

    From J David Ramsey@1:154/10 to All on Fri Dec 18 12:51:53 2015
    I've been messing around with LADY scripting, and I was wondering if perhaps I am misunderstanding the documentation. Am I right that, as of 4.07, LADY cannot access the user records of players other than the one currently playing? I'd really like to create a forest event that involves other real players, but if I can't access them, then...

    Of course, that would be an awesome thing to have in a new version, but I've read several times in the last year that it's pretty impossible for new development to happen officially due to the rights holders having lost the will to continue.

    Still, we can dream.

    I don't know sadly.. but someone else likely will, here's hoping they will chime in.

    Yes it seems that the history behind this game is a long and complex one.

    Still, we can dream.

    Yep and hopefully one day....

    Donald Tidmore had released several freeware IGMs and some with the LADY scripts, but the programming structure changed from L.O.R.D. 4.06 to 4.07 -- including the registration strings. He has had a lot of family and health issues, and I haven't talked to him in a long time.

    He was disappointed that so few were doing anything with L.O.R.D. anymore, but I tried to tell him that "there's more to life than BBSing and playing L.O.R.D.".
