The @mark command
« on: September 07, 2014, 04:29:55 PM »
Is it possible to write a title for the @mark command, so that when hovering a mouse reads something I choose instead of 'Mark'?

Yes, that, along a note asking not to abuse this and to remove them as soon as they are no longer required since they quickly cause lag when there are too many. Also, please don't use the marks to simulate posters. There are ingame parchment and quills to do it the proper way.

I saw about 50 marks once about a path leading to dead bodies... and the one who made them didn't even remove them after the rescue. :S

@mark is a tool for you guys to add a description to the environment. Examples are a description of a sight of slaughter, a blood trail, or a note written in sand. You should not use @mark for things where you have other means to get there like the mentioned posters or letters. You should also not use @mark to make statements that would need DM approval. However we DMs sometimes also use @mark to do just such. So in case you stumble upon such a note and are wondering - simply ask on the DM channel. Also don't use @mark to describe certain emotions / mental states evoked in the PC stumbling on it and don't call for lore / spot / listen etc. checks.
