hidden moons
« on: January 06, 2008, 06:50:00 pm »

Somebody posted a question about "hidden moons" appearing in artwork in the suggestions forum, so I tried to move it over here...  but deleted it by accident.

Anyway, sometimes they just put shapes in artwork.  You can find these in descriptor_shape_standard.txt or whoever it is.  Here's the moon entry:

code:

[SHAPE:MOON]
   [NAME:moon:moons]
   [WORD:MOON]
   [ADJ:hidden]
   [ADJ:full]
   [ADJ:crescent]
   [ADJ:half]
   [TILE:7]

Your job item was lost or destroyed, but you didn't interrupt your duty!

Good work, mate.

I don't see anything wrong with etching an invisible moon; one can easily write an ideogram that represents the new moon, such as two concentric circles.

If the Atlanteans did it (back in Indiana Jones 4), so can the dwarves.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.  I was simply curious to know if there was a deeper meaning, like the plaintive gestures and whatnot.
