Guard (with no s) should NOT bring guards

[Fwerp]

Also, hi buy should work (at least in early t2a). It works in the demo.

[Faust]

What do you mean guards should not bring guards?

[Ronk]

He's saying if you say:

"Guard me" after being attacked in town, no guards will come to your aid.

You must say "guards" to bring guards. I.E. the S is important.

[Faust]

So guards will come if you literally just say the word "guard"?

[Batlin]

I think fwerp is referring to this:

Code: Select all

on speech<"*guards*">(object speaker, string arg)
{
  if(speaker == this)
  {
    return(0x01);
  }
  if(!isMurderer(this))
  {
    return(0x01);
  }
  if(!inJusticeRegion(getLocation(this)))
  {
    return(0x01);
  }
  callGuards(this, speaker, 0x03E8);
  return(0x00);
}

Saying "guard" is not enough, it must be "guards".

Aye, just tested, this is in error in comparison to the demo code.

However, the client keywords whenever introduced, sets 0x0007 to be *guard* and *guards*

At some point, *guard* was also allowed. Not sure when.

[Faust]

Never thought to try just "guard". I was always under the assumption that only "guards" would work.

[Batlin]

However, the client keywords whenever introduced, sets 0x0007 to be *guard* and *guards*

Derrick, if the file you are referring to is "speech.mul", the patchlog file indicates this file was added with "Win32_UO_Gold Publish 60".
That's UO:R, client 2.0.7 (gold_win32_2-0-7).

[Derrick]

Thanks. So the keyword localization was introduced during UO:R. It's probably safe to assume that *guard* and *guards* were equivalent at that time.

It's still unclear if they were equivalent before that time.
