I have scripted a very simple hat system, that only allows you to equip hats you already have in your client flags. You will be able to receive hats on various different occasions like when Lexia opens, Christmas, easter etc. It is pretty much a bare-bone hat system, but it will do for now

Trimaster is now working on developing the church and will be helping out a lot on Lexia. Thank you trimaster! Images attached below.

Thats some sweet stuff, nice work. Instead of displaying item quantities directly in the hud you should consider having a bag icon which when clicked will open a gui displaying various item quantities complete with pretty icons. Or, perhaps just have the gui open via the pushing of a key. Anyway, keep up the good work!

That's an amazing idea, but I don't have the skill to do it.

If you tell me what the default Graal sack icon is called, I will at least give it a go

It actually should be able to achieved relatively easily to achieve, use gui elements a scrolling list with 3 items listed in each row, I've seen some of your past scripts so you should be able to achieve this

then all thats left is top it off with some nice graphics.

After a swarm of players came out of nowhere, they made it very clear they didn't like the way your hats were being displayed (server PM (half of them couldn't even answer the PM)), so I decided to make a very simple GUI. I will add equipping and un-equipping after I study up on selectedrow() and all that jazz.

Double clicking now sets hats. Will remove the sethat command soon. Also increased the row size inside the GUI.

"Emera: Oh ok, can you do better"
"Unnamed: Yes, I have ran zodiac and m-pulse in the past"
"Emera: Oh cool (wink), how was "mpulse"?"
"Unnamed: Better than this"

The hat system has now been improved, and packed into a GUI format, that you can equip hats with. We are accepting hats now, since we are very slowly drifting away from that very deep stage of development, and want to start introducing fun features for players, and keep them interested. Heck, we have even a couple of regular players who have been on nearly all day! It's certainly looking good for Lexia.

Some things that have come to my attention though. Even though there is a very large piece of text in the osl on the wall saying to say '/info' if you have any problems and questions, and also putting several bits of information in the startup PM, players don't seem to read anything and start to spam the staff with questions. This can be very difficult when you are trying to work and even though that comes with the job of running a server, does anybody have any ideas as to how I can make the info stand out to players?

You could just make the server staff only for a few weeks to let you and your team really knuckle down and get some development done without any distractions.

Emera · #70 10-09-2011, 12:39 AM

Added an updated hat system. It is easier to add players hats and also supports hat names instead of saying the hats image. Working on the crystal mining level has started and should be finished shortly.

00:58
Added a help icon to the top left of your screen (screenshot attached), and it shows some server commands in the F2 game window. Now, players will stop asking how to remove their hats! Also increased the font size so it is a bit more visible.

11:46
Changed the chat and nicknames to an orange colour to get ready for Halloween! There will hopefully be a few surprises and some new levels for you guys to check out soon enough.

How come you "can't afford" too make the server staff only for a week or too?

Allowing players online during the development stages is a bad idea simply because the staff will get distracted and want to interact with the player along with play the server and not work. There are also bugs you have to think about as well. If they let players on while there running test for bugs and updating systems and levels than all that's going to do is make player complain about this and that. Instead they keep it locked so that when they open it, its perfect and playable.

Aside from that I like how much progress the server is making looks like it will be fun and maybe something new, at least to me.

Assuming your server gets to Classic, having a "____ logged onto Lexia" message would be extremely annoying. Why not make it where it takes from your buddy list or allow a player to make a list so that it only shows those people logging on? I think that would be useful

Nice idea. I will work on implementing this.
