New Updates: For keeping doors open and for kingdom items

[Admins]

In the last few days we have added following:
- fixed a bug that crashed Graal Kingdoms (no crash since then)
- when you are inside your player house you can open the door and type /lockdooropen, then the door will stay open even if the server restarts or whatever, for closing it again just close it normally; this is good for player-ran shops
- we can now restict the use of certain items to single kingdoms or accounts, making it possible to add items which can only be applied by members of one kingdom (e.g. weapons or armour); those items cannot be traded via trade-tables or player-to-player trading
- modified the handling of messages (on the right side) so that the display is faster and is not producing an error from time to time
- when using player-to-player trading (drop an item on someone else) then the right-click-on-item is working again and is displaying the stats of the item, so that the buyer can verify that it is the good item

About existing 'kingdom' items: Those were not locked to a kingdom and we probably cannot punish the people who got them somehow, so the new kingdom-lock will probably be used only for new items.

Finally some good news!

[Draenin]

This update is sweet.

[Craigus]

Nice update! I hope the new kingdom items with the lock don't have good stats, would be sad to see people joining kingdoms for the items the kingdom has.

[Draenin]

Who knows, with a little luck we might get full gear to balance out the kingdoms soon.

[dNeonb]

Well, I don't think we give the items out all at once.

Some nice events kingdom vs. kingdom to fight for the stats could be funny.

[Chris]

I was a little worried for a moment. I was worried that some of my items wouldn't work for me since I'm not in those kingdoms. But Stefan came and saved the day!

[CidNight1142]

Wow, really great updates! Thanks Stefan. The open door fix is great, shops can stay open at all times now! Also, consider the dying idea for kingdom cloaks. Dye your CoMP to look like your kingdom colors, this will seriously solve the issue of losing those important stats in kingdom battles etc. (An effective kingdom mode will obviously also solve this issue)

But can they be dropped?

Yes they can be dropped, otherwise you would need to carry all those kingdom / personal items with you all the time.

[Draenin]

If they can be dropped, why would you disable them from trade tables and player-to-player trading? It should be strictly limited to your inventory. When you go on tag, they should temporarily appear in your inventory and have a reduced weight, so that the burden of carrying them isn't that great. When you go off tag, they dissapear, just like if you were to try to drop god armor.

And Bjorn,

That's one of the most wicked and ill-thought-out statements I've ever heard on Kingdoms.

Why not? Think about it. Kingdom vs. Kingdom fights for the stats of kingdomitems, what's wrong about it? Have some fun and work for the things you want to have. It was just the principle of the idea. You never heared the full one, how it should work etc., did you? No, you didn't.
Maybe you think it's better give the items out all at one?

Just for you to know. This place here is the forum and not the Graal Kingdoms server.

So they still can be traded, so the system hasn't solved anything...

Its a solution that non members can't use the items, so the items are not valuable for others. Perhaps we can make it, that only kingdom members can pick them up.

Well, if one kingdom is better then all the others, they get all the stats.
