Poses

Greetings mortals,

I have just finished putting in a new system of poses. Poses provide a
means for your character's emotes to be persistent for a time. If an
emote has a pose associated with it, then using that emote will change
the way others in your room view you. For example, 'pace' now has the
pose "pacing." If I 'pace,' in addition to doing the standard emote just
as before, I will now appear as, "Danaglas is here, pacing."

Poses will be removed/replaced anytime you do another emote (whether
standard or custom), move, perform an aggressive action, meditate,
sleep, or use the UNPOSE command. Also please note that others may not
see your poses if other things that change your description (like
artifacts or the fact that you are seated) supercede them.

In order to help you get a feel for the system, we have setup several
poses already. I will open a forum thread momentarily in which you can
provide suggestions for others. The current emotes with poses are:
ponder, furrow, daydream, blush, weep, sob, pace, purr, march, moon,
slump, restless, listen, insane, boggle, envy, quake, thought, cavort,
stroll, and grin.

I have also added a few config options related to poses:

CONFIG POSES ON/OFF will turn them on or off for you
CONFIG POSES VERBOSE will allow you to see a message telling you what
pose you have just assumed. (This will also show up in STAT)
I have turned poses on for all of you (but they are not verbose).

Enjoy!
Danaglas
