I'm kind of curious as to what the heck you just tried to say,
actually ;)
Most muds are relatively inflexible as it is. Yes, they tend to have
a very limited number of functions used for messaging, but as the
only information being sent to the client is text, what more do you
need?
On our lib, we have 3 sefuns we call to send data to the
players. They are:
msg(string) - sends the text to the active object
msg_object(object,string) - send the text to a speficic object
msg_all(string) - send the text to all objects in the environment of
the active object
What else would we need?
Events and log messages can't take the same text as a message that
is being sent to the client, so they've got to be separate method
calls anyways. So I don't see what you're getting at.
