I would look at this differently. All of your old games have just been instantly improved a little bit without any work from you at all!

All except "Verbman's Verb Odyssey in Verbland". I'm going to have to do some updating there.

Don't worry about it. DM automatically scans the content of your text strings and determines whether your game has a "verbish" slant to it or not. I think in this case, it should be able to catch on fairly quickly.

I guess I'm going to have to break out Verby the Love Bug 2.0.

i have to say, i for one, do not like the change of verbs to commands. The panel now says commands instead of verbs. Can we get it to change back to Verbs for defualt please?

I haven't read a lot of this thread because it seems to be what FIREking's threads usually are.

Anyway, I think a nice way to handle this problem is to add a world.default_verb_category (or whatever else...) var to signify the default category for verbs. As default, this var would be "Commands".

I like this idea. With or without the change to "Commands", I would like to be able to set a default category.

I think libraries might be a problem since they compile first though. At least in the sense that setting the default category for your project won't affect the category of the libraries. The libraries would still have to be planned.

Which term do I prefer for the default? Commands. Inviting non-programmers to play BYOND games and having to explain verbs to them constantly won't be fun.

Am I thrilled with losing a few spaces in the info panel? It's a little thing, but no. Can I deal with it? Yes, especially if I can reset the default.

I'd like the option to decide what the word is...

The more customizable Byond is in every little teeny weeny thing, the better!

[Oh wait, Vortezz just posted something like that...Oh well!]
