'''Pregnancy''', is the state were a new life develops in the womb of a female or hermaphrodite.

==Mechanics==
After conception a pregnancy will proceed through several stages. These are handled in the code as a range of description changes automatically made to your character and the existance of a Haste(Pregnancy) effect on your character. If one were to type '''pregtime''', they will see three values. Offline is the amount of time it will take for birth to occur if the pregnant player was offline the whole time. Maximum represents the amount of time it will take if the player is online the entire time, while minimum represents how much time it will take before birth if the player roleplays the entire time. It's worthy of note that RPing with another player shall speed up pregnancy dramatically.

Pregnancy negatively impacts your character's ATB speed in combat. This takes the form of the previously mentioned Haste(Pregnancy) effect. As the pregnancy progresses its magnitude will drop from 0 to -1. From there it will tick off over time until it hits -6. This is the cap to your combat speed penalty and also the final stage of the pregnancy.

At -6, birth is getting quite near, so make plans and watch your timer with the '''pregtime''' command!

Players can get an idea of what kind of child they are having by visiting the Library and talking to the doctor on the second floor to get an ultrasound. This will only tell you the baby's gender and specific infections for the head, arms, and legs.

For one hundred tokens in the token exchange shop, players may purchase a PBRD (Pregnancy Broadcast Receiving Device). This item passively speeds up pregnancy a bit while also allowing one to receive the benefits of a '''+mako/Pregcast''', which allows players to speed up pregnancies by 1% per mako donated for everyone in the game wearing this item.

==Description Changes & Spoof Poses==
During pregnancy your characters description will change. You will also receive spoof poses at certain times.

Descriptions include (in order of trimester):
* They have a warm glow about them.
* They look a bit pudgy especially around the middle. \ They seem to be putting on weight. \ Their belly distends as if from a full meal.
* Their motions are slowed by the burden of life in their womb. \ They are massively pregnant. \ They have a large round dome for a belly.

Spoofs include (in order of trimester):
* Are you getting fatter? \ Ugh, you feel dizzy for a moment, and nauseous. \ You have an odd craving for pickles, or perhaps some other type of sour food. \ You can't help but feel great about everything.
* Something about your belly just feels so... wonderful. \ Your breasts feel tender a moment. \ You feel warm and good all over. \ Your half filled belly feels warm with life. \ Your breasts are leaking in preparation for the new child. \ You pause a moment to consider your impending child. \ You're happy you can handle this whole pregnancy thing. \ You can feel the new life within your womb moving around quite actively. It both amazes and comforts you. \ You put your hands on your growing belly and feel content.
* You drum your fingers across your taut belly. \ Your round, full belly protrudes before you like a dome. \ You feel your unborn charge squirming in your womb more powerfully than before.

==Multiple Births==
Characters can and do get pregnant with multiple children. This is relatively rare however. 95 out of 100 mothers will have a normal birth of just one child. The remaining 5 will have either twins or triplets. The odds of conceiving twins is "rare" and triplets are rarer still. Further, twins and triplets are always identical.

At present the pregnancy code is only capable of handling random twin and triplet pregnancies. It is unlikely that it will ever allow quadruplets or more.

Twin and triplet pregnancies are randomly generated ''at birth'' and as such cannot be detected in advance by an ultrasound. Instead, the ultrasound will treat it as a normal pregnancy with just one child.

Birth for multiples are handled the same way as any other pregnancy with the exception that you will be told that you still feel another baby starting to descend. All babies in a multiple birth have the exact same mutation sets and it is for this reason that they are considered identical twins/triplets.

==After Pregnancy==
Following birth, the typical character will be infertile for a period of 7 OOC days. During this time they will be unable to become pregnant. However, there are exceptions to this rule.

==Fertility Modifiers==
There are a few ways to shorten the infertile period that follows after pregnancy.

These are:
* The [[Husky Pill]] will send your character back into fertility again almost immediately.
* Taking the [[Baby Machine]] perk automatically reduces the infertility period to 3.5 OOC days rather than 7.
** The [[Talakai]] Dedication has a fertility bonus that stacks with the Baby Machine perk, thereby reducing the infertile period to just 1.75 OOC days for players with both.
* The [[Fertile]] perk increases the odds of becoming pregnant.
* The [[Parthenogenesis Enabler]] Mako item will make any fertile player pregnant upon use. No sexual partner required.

==Notes==
* Pets that are pregnant must remain out and their owners need to remain connected.
** When your pet gives birth, the resulting child will be placed into your +gear inventory just like any child you give birth to yourself.
*** Birthing "scenes" regarding your pets are handled by the code as if you are the one giving birth, not the pet.
**** There is an exploit where pets can be dismissed after giving birth then resummoned to be impregnated again. This has yet to be fixed.
***** By that same token, a pregnant pet can be dismissed then resummoned to "abort" the pregnancy.
* A character's child summons cannot give birth unless it is converted into a playable character with a [[Youth Liberation Device]].
** While they can become pregnant, child summons last a very short time and will not "survive" long enough to give birth.
* Pregnancies can be more effectively tracked by typing '''pregtime'''
* For players that are impatient, they can use +mako/preg to advance the pregnancy by five percent per point of mako spent.
* Birth Control pills will abort pregnancies when taken.

The remaining 5 will have either twins or triplets. The odds of conceiving twins is "rare" and triplets are rarer still. Further, twins and triplets are always identical.

At present the pregnancy code is only capable of handling random twin and triplet pregnancies. It is unlikely that it will ever allow quadruplets or more.

Twin and triplet pregnancies are randomly generated ''at birth'' and as such cannot be detected in advance by an ultrasound. Instead, the ultrasound will treat it as a normal pregnancy with just one child.

Birth for multiples are handled the same way as any other pregnancy with the exception that you will be told that you still feel another baby starting to descend. All babies in a multiple birth have the exact same mutation sets and it is for this reason that they are considered identical twins/triplets.

==After Pregnancy==
Following birth, the typical character will be infertile for a period of 7 OOC days. During this time they will be unable to become pregnant. However, there are exceptions to this rule.

==Fertility Modifiers==
There are a few ways to shorten the infertile period that follows after pregnancy.

These are:
* The [[Husky Pill]] will send your character back into fertility again almost immediately.
* Taking the [[Baby Machine]] perk automatically reduces the infertility period to 3.5 OOC days rather than 7.
** The [[Talakai]] Dedication has a fertility bonus that stacks with the Baby Machine perk, thereby reducing the infertile period to just 1.75 OOC days for players with both.
* The [[Fertile]] perk increases the odds of becoming pregnant.
* The [[Parthenogenesis Enabler]] Mako item will make any fertile player pregnant upon use. No sexual partner required.

==Notes==
* Pets that are pregnant must remain out and their owners need to remain connected.
** When your pet gives birth, the resulting child will be placed into your +gear inventory just like any child you give birth to yourself.
*** Birthing "scenes" regarding your pets are handled by the code as if you are the one giving birth, not the pet.
**** There is an exploit where pets can be dismissed after giving birth then resummoned to be impregnated again. This has yet to be fixed.
***** By that same token, a pregnant pet can be dismissed then resummoned to "abort" the pregnancy.
* A character's child summons cannot give birth unless it is converted into a playable character with a [[Youth Liberation Device]].
** While they can become pregnant, child summons last a very short time and will not "survive" long enough to give birth.
* Pregnancies can be more effectively tracked by typing '''pregtime'''
* For players that are impatient, they can use +mako/preg to advance the pregnancy by five percent per point of mako spent.
* Birth Control pills will abort pregnancies when taken.

Pregnancy

2014-08-26T05:24:28Z

Mruaglics:

'''Pregnancy''', is the state were a new life develops in the womb of a female or hermaphrodite.

==Mechanics==
After conception a pregnancy will proceed through several stages. These are handled in the code as a range of description changes automatically made to your character and the existance of a Haste(Pregnancy) effect on your character. If one were to type '''pregtime''', they will see three values. Offline is the amount of time it will take for birth to occur if the pregnant player was offline the whole time. Maximum represents the amount of time it will take if the player is online the entire time, while minimum represents how much time it will take before birth if the player roleplays the entire time. It's worthy of note that RPing with another player shall speed up pregnancy dramatically.

Pregnancy negatively impacts your character's ATB speed in combat. This takes the form of the previously mentioned Haste(Pregnancy) effect. As the pregnancy progresses its magnitude will drop from 0 to -1. From there it will tick off over time until it hits -6. This is the cap to your combat speed penalty and also the final stage of the pregnancy.

At -6, birth is getting quite near, so make plans and watch your timer with the '''pregtime''' command!

Players can get an idea of what kind of child they are having by visiting the Library and talking to the doctor on the second floor to get an ultrasound. This will only tell you the baby's gender and specific infections for the head, arms, and legs.

For one hundred tokens in the token exchange shop, players may purchase a PBRD (Pregnancy Broadcast Receiving Device). This item passively speeds up pregnancy a bit while also allowing one to receive the benefits of a '''+mako/Pregcast''', which allows players to speed up pregnancies by 1% per mako donated for everyone in the game wearing this item.

==Description Changes & Spoof Poses==
During pregnancy your characters description will change. You will also receive spoof poses at certain times.

Descriptions include (in order of trimester):
* They have a warm glow about them.
* They look a bit pudgy especially around the middle. \ They seem to be putting on weight. \ Their belly distends as if from a full meal.
* Their motions are slowed by the burden of life in their womb. \ They are massively pregnant. \ They have a large round dome for a belly.

Spoofs include (in order of trimester):
* Are you getting fatter? \ Your breasts feel tender a moment. \ Ugh, you feel dizzy for a moment, and nauseous. \ You have an odd craving for pickles, or perhaps some other type of sour food.
* Something about your belly just feels so... wonderful. \ You feel warm and good all over. \ Your half filled belly feels warm with life. \ Your breasts are leaking in preparation for the new child. \ You pause a moment to consider your impending child. \ You're happy you can handle this whole pregnancy thing.
* You drum your fingers across your taut belly. \ Your round, full, belly protrudes before you like a dome.

String Parsing

2013-10-17T02:47:34Z

Mruaglics: /* Body Parts */

String Parsing (SP) refers to some of the underlying guts of the MUD. You can use it to liven up your creature submissions, rooms, and even your own description. While it's a bit limited in power compared to other languages, it's easy to read and learn.
If you're new to programming, it's recommended you use notepad to work in. This lets you save your files localy in case of a disconnect, and avoids weird formatting issues that sometimes pop up in Word. If you're going to be using SP heavily, look for a text editor [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++] and [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40286482/FS%20string%20parser.zip language file] (Windows) [http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/fraise Fraise] (Mac), or VI,eMacs,Etc (Linux).

== Basic Syntax ==

=== Formatting ===

Everything in SP is contained in brackets []. Though SP is supposedly case insensitive, it's recommended you use only lowercase.

There should be no spaces after the leading bracket or before the trailing bracket.
:[like this]
:[ not like this ]

Line breaks are bad. Avoid them within brackets, and within [if...][end if] sections.

This is bad. 
:Hi [player]![if [player] is male] 
:I'm a 
:boy![end if]

This is good. 
:Hi! [player]! 
:[if [player] is male]I'm a boy![end if] 

== Variables ==

SP can retrieve, test, and display certain pieces of information about characters.

=== Targets ===

A Target refers to a specific character. Targets must be enclosed in their own set of brackets. A [''target''] by itself will return the target's name.

:Hi [player]!
returns
:'''Hi Nuku!'''

Valid Targets:
:[player] - Name of character the description is on.
:[looker] - Name of the character viewing the description.
:[loser] - The loser of a fight. (For victory/defeat messages.)
:[victor] - The winner of a fight (For Victory/defeat message.)
:[infected] - Returns target of infection (Creature infection message only. May not be valid still.)

=== Pronouns ===
These will display the correct gender of the pronoun according to the target.

Use:
:[''pronoun'' of [''target'']]
::Example: You see an employee badge hanging from [%p of [player]] coat.

Available Pronouns
(Examples are not valid code. They are only demonstrating where
:%p/%P for possessive pronouns (his/her/its <item>, His/Her/Hir/Its <item>)
::Example: Who's book is it? It's %p book.
:%a/%A for absolute possessive pronouns (his/hers/hirs/its, His/Hers/Hirs/Its)
::Example: Who's book is it? It's %a.
:%s/%S for subjective pronouns (he/she/shi/it, He/She/Shi/It)
::Example: %S got the book.
:%o/%O for objective pronouns (him/her/hir/it, Him/Her/Hir/It)
::Example: The book fell on %o.
:%r/%R for reflexive pronouns (himself/herself/hirself/itself,Himself/Herself/hirself/Itself)
::Example: Chris did it all by %r.
:%n/%N for the player's name. (Also can just use [''target''] by itself.)
::The shopkeeper's name is %n .

=== Stats ===
You can use SP to retrieve information about a target using [stat ''stat'' of [''target'']]
:HP - Returns current raw HP.

=== Local Stats ===
You can create your own custom stats specific to your character, and test for them like any other in your description. @set me=foo:bar, and then use [local stat foo of [player]] in your parsed description.

If you feel like your custom stat may be of use to others, please add it to the list of [[Community Custom Stats]].

:Example: @set me=eyecolor:blue will make '...with piercing [local stat eyecolor of [player]] eyes.' read as '...with piercing blue eyes.'
You can also organize your values with @set me=something/foo:bar.
'''Please use "public/mystat" for your custom stats. This will help keep the user config files clean, and prevent accidental overwriting of important variables. If you have a lot of custom stats, consider "public/mystats/stat1, public/mystats/stat2" etc. Recent security features will, in fact, keep you from being able to access local stats other than in the root directory and in the public directory. You may put as many subdirectories in the public one as you need.'''
Example:
:@set me=public/piercings/number:three
:@set me=public/piercings/type:silver
:@set me=public/piercings/side:left

"They have [local stat public/piercings/number of [player]] [local stat public/piercings/type of [player]] rings in their [local stat public/piercings/side of [player]] ear." will now read as "They have three silver rings in their left ear."

=== Body Parts ===
You can retrieve the numerical value of body parts with [stat ''part'' of [''target'']]
:Breasts - Number of breasts
:Breast Size - Returned as a numerical value (1, 2, 3) ''not'' cup size.
:Cocks - Number of Cocks
:Cock Length
:Ball Size
:Cunts - Number of counts
:Cunt Length - Depth of Cunt

(Not sure how [[Modest Appearance]] [[Perks|perk]] affects this.)

==== Mutations ====
Using [stat ''mutation/part'' of [''target''] will retrieve the mutation present in that location.
:mutation/skin - returns skin mutation
:mutation/head - returns head mutation
:mutation/arms - returns arms mutation
:mutation/torso - returns torso mutation
:mutation/cock - returns groin mutation
:mutation/legs - returns legs mutation

=== Other Values ===
These values do not need to be proceeded by 'stat'. use "''value'' of [''target'']".
:hp - shows the percentage of total HP. A target at 50% health will return '50'. (To get raw HP, use '[stat HP of [''target'']') Will return 0 or 100 after mentoring up/down until the next reg 'tick'.
:pregnant - returns pregnancy value as 0 or 1 (pregnant).
:[skin] -- returns the primary user's skin, primary user can be tricky at times, safest to use in descs and transformations. (better to use mutation/skin)
:freecred - returns target's freecred balance
:level - returns target's true level
:mentor - returns target's mentored level
:[legs] - Informs the game that legs are being accounted for in this description (such as in a tauric ass infection), and omits the normal legs from the automatic description.
:[breastdesc] - Informs the game that you are describing the breasts in this description, and subsequently omits the "He/she has X Y-sized breasts" part of the automatic description.

=== Flags ===

You can check for certain features in a target using [[flags]].
[if ''flag'' is present in [''target'']]You have something that's ''flag''.[end if]
For a list of available flags to check for, see the [[flags|flag list]].

== Functions ==
SP provides a few simple functions for data processing.

=== Tests ===
:If-Then tests are formatted as [if X]item 1[otherwise]item 2[end if].
::You do not need to include [otherwise] but you must finish with [end if]
::To test multiple items in one check use [if a and b and c], Not [if a and if b and if c]
::You can nest if-thens, but remember your [end if]s.
:Comparisons
::[if X is Y] or [if X is not Y]
::[if stat (stat name) of (person name) = (number)]
::[if stat (stat name) of (person name) > (number)]
::[if stat (stat name) of (person name) < (number)] -- Do stat comparisons!
:test for a power [if POWER NAME is owned by TARGET]
:Test gender
::[if TARGET is male] - Does TARGET have a cock?
::[if TARGET is female] - Does TARGET have a pussy?
::[if TARGET is not male] and [if TARGET is not female] - Testing for absence of cock/pussy
::[if TARGET is neuter] - Is TARGET Neuter (same as above, but shorter)
::[if TARGET is not male and TARGET is not female] - Combining tests. Only a neuter will pass this.
::[if TARGET is male and TARGET is female] - Combining tests. Only a herm will pass this.
::[if TARGET is herm] - Is TARGET a herm? (same as above, but shorter)
:Test ferility
::[if TARGET is fertile] - Non-females cannot be fertile and will always fail this test.

=== Randoms ===
[one of]X[or]Y[or]Z[at random]. Do NOT nest randoms.
*No, really. Do not nest randoms.
**DO NOT NEST RANDOMS.
[random X to Y]
*Generates a number between X and Y.

=== Nesting ===
You may nest [if..][end if] tests. Do NOT nest [one of]...[at random] sections.

:[if [player] is male]I'm a boy[if [player] is female] and a girl[end if]![end if]

== Colors ==
You can add color to your text. (Also works with @emit command.)
:Surround the color name in carets (for example, ^red^), then return to normal with ^normal^
:Valid colors: Red, blue, green, cyan, yellow, brown, black, white, gray/grey, possibly others. Use 'colors' command to see full list.
:You can also use ^bold^, ^italics^, ^underline^, and yes, even ^blink^.

== Advanced Code ==

These will not work in personal or room descriptions. Mostly for use in creature creation and other NPC scripts.

Functions
:[increase the (stat) of (person name) by (number)] Modify stats, negative numbers are cool. Whole numbers only.
:[impregnate (person name) with (person name)] -- Causes a chance for babies. The first is the mother. Both need proper parts.
:[end] -- Used in defeat# and victory# to end the processing in that block if [end] remains after displaying that block.

Targets
:[here] -- used to identify the room (not its name, its DB ref)

== Limits ==
String Parsing ''cannot'':
* <s>Compare two variables. (If cocks > cunts)</s>
* <s>Test for effects. (DamResist)</s>
* Test for combat.
* Message other players or provide other output.
* <s>Do math. (1 + 2)</s>

== Example Code ==

=== NPC Name Tracking ===
By Damaged:
You want to say, have a particular name hang about, on the player, so that once they have given in

:[if stat Fox/Name of player = 0]"Oh, have we not met? My name is [one of]Lilly[increase the Fox/Name of player by 1][or]Michelle[increase the Fox/Name of player by 2][or]Jenny[increase the Fox/Name of player by 3][at random], and I am going to fuck you nine ways from tuesday!"[otherwise]"Oh, [player]!" [if stat Fox/Name of player = 1]Lilly[end if][if stat Fox/Name of player = 2]Michelle[end if][if stat Fox/Name of player = 3]Jenny[end if] says, "Its tuesday again!"[end if]

=== Set player color ===
by Damaged:

:str /Infection/Goo Girl/Skin/Transform:A ripple of tingles rushes through your entire body as you sink towards the ground, then rise again, wobbling along the way. A glance at a hand shows that you can see right through your now [set the Goo Girl/texture of player to [one of]jellied[or]gelatine like[or]translucent[at random]] [set the Goo Girl/color of player to [one of]blue[or]red[or]purple[at random]]

== Deprecated Code ==

These functions and items do not work anymore, but are listed for legacy purposes.

:[infect (person name) with (infection name) at (number)] -- has a (number)% chance of infecting the named person with the named infection.
