In Memory of Tim Curry
Last week we lost Tim Curry: a singular performer whose wit, voice and glorious theatrical mischief made the world a brighter and stranger place.
Insomnia has always paid homage to Tim and to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Those who fancy a little midnight mischief can still seek out our dedicated Rocky Horror area, complete with its own floor show.
RIP Tim, don't dream it - be it!
Link Your Player Characters
Please feel free to use the in-mud link <player> and unlink commands.
You can link as many of your players as you like. To link to another player character you must know the password.
What is the benefit of linking? Simply enables the webclient to log you into multiple characters with one password - login once, your list of playable characters will appear as options in the "Player Login" dropdown and you can switch between characters at will.
Phone-Friendly Adventuring Arrives
Adventuring from a phone has become much easier. The web client now offers a drag-and-release joystick for movement in all eight directions, together with six quick-command buttons for actions you use most often.
Each quick-command button can be given its own label and command chain from the terminal:
/button <1-6> <label> <command;command;...>
For example:
/button 1 Attack roar;kill all
This labels button 1 "Attack". Pressing it runs `roar` and then `kill all`, in that order. Button definitions belong to the individual character and are saved automatically, so their labels and commands return on later and new sessions.
The phone keyboard now stays out of the way while the joystick and buttons are in use. Tap the terminal when you actually want to type.
Tap the client's `?` Help button for full instructions, examples and limits.
