Happy Tuesday, folks! This week, we've done something a little crazy. You should see two new options in the FLAGS verb -- SkinKills and LootKills. If you toggle them on, then (in most cases) when you kill a creature, you will automatically attempt to skin and/or loot it. This should work for melee and ranged combat, ACMs, magic, and WHIRLWIND. I know that Bardic screams likely aren't working at the moment; we'll be revisiting this in the future after feedback for other things we missed (it's a LOT of hooks, particularly for magic!). For an initial release, though, most of combat (magical or otherwise) should be covered. There are no special considerations to these auto-calls. If you don't have a free hand and/or something to skin with -- you'll fail to skin it. It works similar to STOW in that as the attack/cast/whatever is processed, it just calls the SKIN and LOOT verbs. There is no handling for pre-arranging or dissecting with this -- those may be things we look at in the future. Go forth and see how it works! Let us know if you run into anything broken or missing! HUGE thanks to Grejuva for the QC, his help sorting the magic system's hooks, and other quirks we ran into with this! (This is in Prime only initially, but after some observation it'll be pushed to Plat and TF later this morning!) Zadraes (for the team!)
