[Edited due to irrelevance]...radiohead is on the leaderboard for bottle of Acqua Frizzante Giallo champagne consumption. It's my understanding that Dev team members and, presumably, NPCs aren't supposed to be on the leaderboards.

techniquely i don't think radiohead is a NPC, NPE maybe. IDK, LOL.

Um... I'm trying to figure out what logic made you add this as a followup to the original topic to be honest... It's nothing like it.

Aaaanyway... fair call. They shouldn't be on the leaderboards. I'll have to do something about that... maybe add a group for NPCs and exclude that group or some such. I'll add it to the bug system.

Just code it so it displays favorite food and drink as those items, but his consumption of them is 0. Like DrWolf had favorite food: Your Mom

I love how non-coders always say "Just..." like it ain't no thang. How about I'm not writing a bunch of special code for individual players like I did with DrWolf because its' a pain in the ass to write and maintain

Don't worry, I have a solution and I'll implement it when the time is right for me to do so. It's just not the time for me to drop everything I'm doing and do that right now.

I say you write a bunch of special code for me just because.

just... just... *twitch*

Except he's not a player, or normal

hmmm.... me thinks that Gobb is starting to wish that a certain word was not invented

Heh, it amuses me, that's all. Non-coders imagine that, because something applies in one area and it's in some ways a bit similar, that it's really easy to "just" pick up a piece of code and stick it in somewhere else to make it work. With tape or something.

In fact, often these apparently simple changes can be *incredibly* complicated to implement compared with things that look incredibly complicated but which are, in fact, ridiculously easy.

Also, tiny little "tweaks" like this can cause ongoing headaches for years into the future because they break the underlying framework and require complex workarounds specifically designed for them. As in, three years from now, I'll go to do something and it'll be ten lines of code and ten minutes work to implement, plus another five hundred lines of code and four days work because of one silly little tweak I made for something that seemed funny once but really isn't even necessary but that I'm stuck with now.

This has already happened

pfft, JUST let the you from 3-years from now deal with it.
