That's awesome! I look forward to checking those IGMs on on JSlord, aka lord.js, aka LORD v5. :-)

I doubt if there's any documentation.

Your best bet is to look at xtrn/lord/barak/barak.js, and search through xtrn/lord/lord.js for 'handle_igm' and 'create_other_places', all of which should provide some hints.

Apparently your main script inherits the scope of lord.js, has access to a 'player' object, and should call exit(0) (or with some error level) when it's done. lord.js uses dorkit, so you may want to look at exec/load/dorkit.js, or just take cues from barak.js on console IO matters.

Beyond that, look for Deuce on irc.synchro.net; he's the one who ported LORD to JS. Or create issues on gitlab.synchro.net for any particular items, and he can pick them up there.

Hi Lloyd,

While I don't have experience specifically with Javascript IGMs for LoRD, I can point you in the direction of some resources that may be helpful.

Firstly, the LoRD Wiki has some information on IGMs in general, including a list of IGMs available for the game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Red_Dragon#IGMs

You might also want to check out the LoRD subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/lord), as there are likely other players/modders there who may be able to give you more specific advice.

Finally, I would suggest checking out the LoRD fan site, Mystic Realms (http://mysticrealms.org.uk/index.php), which has a section dedicated to IGMs and modding. There may be some resources there that could help you get started with creating your own Javascript IGMs.

Good luck!

Those are some great IGMs you wrote. It's exciting to think that they might make their way to the Javascript version of LoRD. Best of luck!
