I was receiving weather updates while writing mail, room descriptions, and other things like this. Here is a small fix that stops those messages from outputting.

1. Open comm.c and search send_to_outdoor

2. Under:
Code:
if (!AWAKE(i->character) || !OUTSIDE(i->character)) continue;

add:
Code:
if (PLR_FLAGGED(i->character, PLR_WRITING)) return;

3. Save and compile.

Perhaps a combination of NOHASSLE and PLR_WRITING would be best. If I'm a mortal player I might be writing a letter to someone while I'm waiting for the sun to come up and the shops to open. And thus, I'd probably be inclined to be wanting to receive said "outdoor" message.

True, I just found it to be quite annoying when typing a long message, description, or anything like that weather outputs are showing up into the buf. I guess it just comes down to what the players want in reality.

I did add a nohassle to mine as you suggested.
