> > But you know what? It did take some time. Some of us work long hours and just plain don't have a few hours in a row to throw together on something like that at the drop of a hat. I think the shifting setup is pretty cool and all but frankly I could use some of it as a "what not to do" style guide on writing clear code that other human beings can understand. Would it be much easier to do now again, sure. > Hey, I didn't mean to make it sound like it wouldn't take ANY time, like I said.. I hack code. I've been working on a few routines for quite some time now. And what you describe (the mess) is what a friend of mine calls 'UglyCode', he says I'm infamous for it. The point I was trying to convey is that it really isn't a mind-breaking experience to do. Hell, I'd keep a few "null" spots just to do a copy on a standard form and spruce up its looks a bit, as a simple reward for those who earned it. > > Righto. Flags. As I said, adding a mobile. Form 'Ability' flags AFPQ. oh, and we mustn't forget Act_dlammf. That's just icing on a cake.
> > Psst. . .I don't know if you noticed, but basically every form additionally has some special attack, defense, or neat thing it does. Some of those are harder than others.
