Removing obsolete Options

On the list we get when we type Options, at least two of the options given are now totally invalid because
of mechanical removal from game, numbers 21 and 22, the Login and Logout notifies that are no longer
possible. Could we improve the game experience for new people by blanking these two out from the list?
Any more obsolete options I missed?

These options are still used by GMs, though eventually I'll rewrite the options command to hide it from regular players. It's not really a super high priority right now.

To a lesser degree, an obsolete text we get is when we type Option 13. It says, You will now see / You will no longer see the
Wilderness compass. This is a throwback from days when the compass only worked outside of towns.
Recommendation: delete the word Wilderness, and perhaps replace it with the word, Directional.

Well, could you at least add the phrase, (GMs only) to the end of each, so newbies aren't getting frustrated trying to toggle them, please?

Forgot that I had already added a system for GM-only options. Moved them over, so they're gone now.

Code: Select all
{'shortname':'Compass', 'category':'text', 'key':'compass',
'desc':'When toggled on, a small "compass" will be displayed when traveling in most areas.',
0:'You will no longer see the travel compass.',
1:'You will now see the travel compass in most areas.'},
I just wanted to show off my super cool, neat, and organized code, but if you can't understand the above, just take my word for it and know that it doesn't reference the wilderness anymore. :-D
OK, I really do need to go to bed now.

Is the IRC option still there? Since the game is no longer connected to the irc channel it could be deleted if it is there.

It is. I wish it could be reconnected though. It'd be nice to be able to see the IRC channel while playing, since some of us don't have the option of using both at the same time.

I agree. It would be nice.
