dev updates
 

so, I've re-scripted the HUD and the Inventory, all working fine! [Need to add some more display stuff to the inventory though, but other than that it's done]

The items are all on new Era, need to re-do the guns part. [Doing this part last, it'll be some-what fun for me!]

I'll be working on the overworld stuff now, however I'm wondering if you'd like a training kind of world, or to just add newbie protection back that lasts for a few hours, i am thinking the protection. Your suggestions?

Should be done on the flower stuff tonight, maybe with item digging too ^^ ^^

Training world.

Look, I have a halo over my head, and people can't hurt me! I'm going to go punch people, since I can't figure out how to make money. Wtf, I lost my halo??!?!?!?

Training world, although I thought Vulcan was working on one of those last week.

oh this is for new era, no idea on old one ^^

I could modify the current newbie protection though, although the training world may be better i suppose

I wouldn't make a whole seperate world just for training, but instead.. if possible make a tutorial on the gmap if possible. Like if a new player logs on, they have to do certain tasks in order to remove their halo. (Obviously there should be a command to skip this for the not so new players.) This would be a way to direct players in where to go and how to do things. (Example would be they have to goto the flower shop and pick a few flowers, make a bouquet, than buy something with the money they make, perhaps a drill or something?) I dunno, just throwing some ideas out there.

some kind of training world. or some kind of tutorial in the main world.

it's going to be funny when we get the people that keep changing PCIDs and hacking and will have to keep redoing the tutorial each time they want to come back on the main world, rofl.

Oui! Would be cool.. And Sparbots ;o

No.

Don't force people to go through a start tutorial, classic does it and it helps kill the playercount.

Honestly, that's kind of true. I logged on Atrius a couple of days ago and you had to go through the tutorial. I instantly logged off after the first couple of parts and came back three days later to finish it.

you can unstick out.

I'm guessing that causes problems, since a staff member asked, "did you finish the tutorlia?" when I couldn't be hit.

wouldn't it be their fault? :p

That would be why I suggested the part where you could skip it. Eg: Player logs on and NPC says "If you would like to skip this tutorial, say "i hate tutorials".
