Overhaul News Post #6

AFFS and CURES and Affmessages

I've just put live a couple of utility changes relating to overhaul
afflictions, as follows:

CONFIG OHAFFMESSAGES <BRIEF|VERBOSE|BOTH> will determine what lines you
receive when being afflicted with/curing overhaul afflictions. If brief,
you'll receive only the generic affmessage ("You are afflicted with
X"/"You have cured X"). If verbose, you will receive a
descriptive/flavourful affmessage only (e.g. "Unthinking paranoia
overcomes you."/"Aaaahhh. No one is out to get you after all."). If
both, you'll receive both the verbose and brief messages, in that order.
Initial settings for this will match up with your regular affmessages
config; specifically, all players will see verbose affmessages and if
you have regular affmessages activated, you'll also see brief overhaul
affmessages. New players will start with only brief affmessages enabled.

Additionally, I have added two new commands, AFFS and CURES. The
syntaxes for these are as follows:

o AFFS LIST - lists all overhaul afflictions
o AFFS INFO <aff> - gives specific information on a particular aff,
including its canonical name, description of its effects, what cures it
(overhaul cures only, so e.g. not including focus mind), and the verbose
affmessage lines for being afflicted and curing, and the line that
appears on DIAGNOSE for the affliction.
o CURES LIST - lists all overhaul cures
o CURES INFO <cure> - gives specific information on a particular clear,
including its short name, its descriptive name, and what affs it cures.

Enjoy!
