• Have examples of request for items
• Have examples of request for skills
• Use Char.Afflictions instead of Effects

http://www.aardwolf.com/wiki/index.php/Clients/GMCP

• Several examples of requests
• very good examples of possible implementations
• very cool "state" variable
• examples of group (party) implementations

Nice to have features

• "Money Carried" → gmcp.Char.worth (aardwolf)
• Arrived from <direction>
• Monsters in room
• room.Players (players in current room) (see Ironrealms)

Suggestions

• If bandwidth is an issue, move max stats to char.maxstats (see aardwolf), and keep vitals for current hp/gp/xp only
• char.status.state (from aardwolf) would be quite nice to have. specifically meditation, fighting, queing
• Some sort of group info (party leader, am i a leader, list of party members, possibly with guild) would be nice to have. probably on poll request
• Might want to setup "subscriptions" (aka gmcp.Room off, gmcp.char.Vitals on)

Bugs

gmcp.Char

• wimpy command does not fire any gmcp.Char events
  • Expected behavior:
    • fire gmcp.Char.Status event with new value in gmcp.Char.Status.wimpy

gmcp.Char.Effects

• does not seem to update on regular basis, only updates when new effect added or removed. This is strange as there is a duration value
  • Expected behavior: 
    • updates on some sort of "tick" (aka every 4, or 10 seconds or so)
    • or ability to poll for refresh
    • or, no duration?

gmcp.Room

• Desc in Blood sands doesnt match actual description (from look)
• gmcp.Room.Info.desc include gmcp.Room.Info.name
• Doesn't count ship as a room
  • Not sure how this would work (For vehicles). Possibly say that current room is the ship, then add a "vehicle is in room" ?

Bugs:

• Seems effects doesnt trigger new update when an effect wears off
  • gmcp.Char.Effects gets fired when effects wear off

- Room:
