Items with indeterminable names?

Kayazikyo · **Posted:** June 2nd, 2010, 10:14 pm

I (finally) was clearing out my apartment (selling things i don't need, organizing things into packs for ...easy? access, etc) and I got to the end and then I was really bothered because there were some things I couldn't pick up and organize/sell/junk, because the names that I tried to use were wrong...
For example:
(First few items in my apartment- and where the problems are)

Quote:

A helmet that would be worn by a samurai.
(Glowing) A pair of diamond studded dice lies here, gleaming. (5)
A pile of jewelry lies here.
Some Aspirin is lying in the dirt.
A tube with a small handle at the top and a strap on the side lies abandoned here. (7)
A golden statue rests here on the ground gleaming brightly.
A bandage poorly made from cloth lies here. (10)
(Glowing) (Humming) Gauntlets made from Serpent scales have been discarded here.

So then I try to get it and...

<Yen:[18,702] Indicator:[] Delayed:>
get tube
I see no tube here.

So I try other keywords: like 'samurai' and 'pills' and 'figurine', 'pile' 'golden'
and none of these work.
I was just wondering- are there any suggestions to deal with this sort of thing? (Tried get all...as you can imagine with the nature of apartments it didn't work out too well... Will NOT try dispose all...)
Are there any fixes?
Thanks!

Thanks! 'loot' and 'idol' worked- however morphine and scuba mask did not.
I guess this thread is kind of a suggestion that item names be determinable from the roomdesc, I guess...

You incorrectly spelt aspirin.
I think there should be a command that returns the keywords of the items lying on the ground, or something.
I don't know why builders made objects long names not contain a keyword.

Honestly, all my life I thought it was spelled 'asprin' but I was wrong. Haha
Also, I agree.
I wouldn't know, but that either is, or should be in the building rules now. Or our current builders are just that good. =D

A lot of items listed there are of old areas. So that right off the bat should say a lot. Secondly, most items that do not provide a keyword on a long description are generally not meant to be dropped for any given reason. We usually just fill the descriptions out of necessity. Lastly...

This could all be fixed, in time, with my edits. However, being the only builder, it means it will take time. While I understand this is not a "QQ" post, keep in mind at all times, our staff is little and you seem to expect far too much. Be patient, or act.

Both are helpful. Thank you for your time in reporting this.
