I like to have sounds for everything in MUDs. I recently figured out how to use regex to tackle combat in Aardwolf:
The custom color bits aren't necessary, but they're helping me track when the trigger fires.
Now I just need to add all the various verbs into the parenthetical area and the sound will play every time I'm hit.
I'm sure this isn't a big deal to most folks, but I thought I'd share in case anyone else is trying to achieve this.
