Seems the client paths for 3D objects has changed to a flat directory vs the old tree style. Maps will need to be modified.
When you move in eq potion with cooldown visiblity of cooldown dissapear, but it still has cooldown.
Channels should have support for simple ACL. They can have a “list” that will function as either a blacklist OR a whitelist.
Undecided behaviour:
In the event that the op leaves, one of these should happen:
If whilst in pending combat state (i.e. you just clicked to attack a player/creature from a few steps away and start moving towards them, but combat hasn’t actually started yet) you click to move elsewhere, just after the combat animations start you then do a ‘step or two’ of the move animation in the direction you clicked, then flick back to combat animations fighting your opponent.
It looks weird and can mess up the rotation of the combat participants.
The ability to purge, modify and list (who has and where) items would be advantageous.
It would allow for the easy removal or substitution of an item, on a global scale. Ideally it should handle things like subing a sword for a piece of fruit - which should remove sword, give fruit and stack with existing fruit if req’d.
To be able to list all players who are currently in possession of a given sword, and how many etc would be part of this presumably.
Admins need the ability to see (and modify) a player’s storage. This would allow them to remove items, add items etc. They would most likely have to use a bag as a go between but that would be acceptable.
Admins need the ability to see (and modify) a player’s inventory. This would allow them to remove items, add items etc. They would most likely have to use a bag as a go between but that would be acceptable.
Add the ability to see when the last time a player was on. This would be a useful feature for players I would think.
It’d be good for players to be able to get a list of who’s online. Perhaps if we require a PATTERN when more than say 20 are on, that would hopefully stop too many people abusing it.
Perhaps the easiest way would be to stop once you get to 20. So:
#online
Would list ALL the players if there were ⇐ 20 online at that point, however if there were thousands, it’d only return the first 20 (in order of Actor ID I guess).
As we get players, we will get trouble makers, that much is already clear. We need the ability to ban users for a configurable amount of time, as well as preset amounts. These SHOULDN’T effect the forum bans however a ban on the forum SHOULD be a ban in game also (I think).
Something like this might do:
#ban PLAYERNAME [[[Y:]D:]H:]M REASON
eg.
#ban testuser 1:4:6:3 Because you're a tool
This would ban ‘testuser’ for 1 year, 4 days, 6 hours and 3 minutes because he’s a tool. He would be informed of such when trying to login.
Other examples:
#ban testuser 5 Come back in 5 minutes when you've learned to behave #ban testuser 7:0 You're gone for 1 week buddy!
Should we support banning per player or per forum account (given that 1 forum account can have multiple players)?
Should we have pre-sets like: #ban7 for 7 days, #banwarn for 1 hour, #banladen for life?
