In the Wanton Wastrel Tavern at the docks, you'll find a dartboard placeable that you can use to play darts now! When you hit it, the dartboard will announce which sector of it you hit, and whether you hit a double, triple, or even the bull or bull's eye!

You can attempt to aim at different sectors of the dartboard using the "/c dart ##" command, where the ## indicates which sector you are aiming at, be it 1 through 20, 25 for the bull, 50 for the bull's eye. (You can type /c dart 0 to reset the dart section you're aiming at to no particular section.)

Of course, you can only use darts, and people with higher DEX modifiers are at an advantage when aiming their dart using the /c dart command. They are also at an advantage in hitting the dartboard, since they have a higher attack bonus with darts.

I'll also add that the dartboard probabilities meet actual size proportions of real dartboards, to within .01 cm^2 uncertainty. It's difficult to get more accurate than this!

I was in a rush to implement this, so expect new features in the near future, including explanations on different dartboard games, and other unique takes on the game.

In case you're lacking darts, you can buy them from Norrin Brughle at the bar.

There are currently three known bug is that if you throw a single dart (stack size = 1) at the dartboard, you'll receive an error asking you to throw a dart and no other object at the dartboard. Unfortunately, I think this is due to an error in NWScript itself, but it is something I am investigating.

The second bug is that /c dart is not working at the moment. This will be fixed soon.

The third bug is the dart aficionado's shop is currently overpriced.

By all means though, it's workable and fun!

Please let me know if you encounter any other bugs.

Enjoy!


[EDIT: I was just made aware that wizards cannot use darts. Expect a fix to this.]
