Suggestions

[»CypherJF]

I've given you several suggestions but here are the ones off the top of my head:

 

A better/nicer kill message: perhaps something along the lines of:

Killed: , bounty: #. cash: $#. Balance: $#.

- Or something that tells you you're current balance.

 

A formal help system, what does each object do for your ship, when it might expire, how much you'll get back if you sell it.

 

Post rules for the zone somewhere o.o

 

12 secs for ball holding time seems a tad meh for such a huge 'hyperspace', maybe extend it to something a tad longer, 20-25?

 

hm thats all i can think of have fun.

?money

 

bounty and cash are always there anyway.

 

ball, 12 secs is a bit short but makes it a challange, but i think iof its gonna be that short it should alwats apper in the center.

[Coenny]

just use ?money. you shouldnt have to check ur balance aqfter every kill anyway.

 

we are working on the help system.

 

rules? oh those are all made up on the spot by whichever staff member is online. we need no rules. actually i belive it is on it's way as well

[Dr Brain]

Last two are on their way.

 

#1 has been taken into consideration, and may appear in the zone. I have felt that displaying money would be a nice idea, but I like your message layout.

Personally, I think it would be really annoying to see my balance and bounty everytime I kill someone...

But that's because I don't care too much about my balance, I can check it whenever with ?money, and because my bounty is right under my ship, flying next to my name. ^_^;

[Bomook]

I don't see how it could hurt; as long as it doesn't take up more than one line, you can just ignore what you don't want to see

[FunkmastaD]

You know I remember something very similar being here before...let me think...oh thats right suggestions for set changes and other dev stuff got moved

 

Now that I've had my sarcastic moment of the hour

Showing your balance at every kill would be kind of annoying since it takes what 2 seconds to type ?money.

The F1 menu needs to get put back up instead of the default help menu

The ?info command would kick -*BAD WORD*- if it could be put back

Then new people could just ?info item and receive a simple description of the item

Increased ball time would be good but since balling barely makes a dent into anyone's income right now it's not an item that would need serious discussion or change

Oh and lastly the rules of the zone can be added to the Zone News file even though most people don't read it a lot or it can become a page in the F1 menu again

1) If it's shorter and it doesn't look bad I can probably convince him, though obviously people with large amounts of money will have huge messages.

 

Perhaps it's a better idea to have a kind of ?alert option that will alert you once you've reached a certain amount of money, I can add this very easily and Doc might actually like this.I've coded something up that does excactly this, it's up to Doc now whether or not to implement it

 

2) The new item system will support a more extensive help, at least I'm trying to force it trough.

 

3) The rules, well, I explained this issue to you, but working on it. The bottomline is that they won't go in the news, but a rules only version of the help is on it's way again.

 

4) Well, you're not supposed to be playing soccer alone, but maybe we can add 1-2 seconds to it.

My idea was to put item help under the default help function, ?man (Still ?help), but Doc will probably choose to add an itemhelp function.

 

But more extensive itemhelp will be implemented.

?info already has a function in ss.

 

prehaps ?describe tho

solution: toggle of show ur current balance on kills ez! haha..

 

or yeah I think I had that suggestion of alert amounts, w/e, but I'd like to see the balance occasionally, instead of wasting a macro space for ?money and doing it after each kill :/

CHances are becoming really slim that that will be implemented, but ?alert probably will now.

 

?alert 5000 would give you a message as soon as you reached 5000 or more

 

That was the whole point of you wanting to add the balance, right?

[Dr Brain]

How about if it showed up every 10 kills? would that make everyone happy?

[Coenny]

why not make it show evey 10 second, or maybe every 2, cause you know that we cant go without seeing our balance every time we blink.

Honestly i dont think it is worth the extra coding time, that could be used for something more useful.

If you have to look at ur money every time you kill someone, then you are poor and you should be focusing on killing ppl and not how much money you have.

[»CypherJF]

Then have an alert level

 

?moneyalert

 

[FunkmastaD]

Well instead of something stupid like it showing up on every kill or even every set number of kills make it more into a counter that will tell you what the change is in your balance from when you enter HS compared to the current balance

This will keep track of how much cash you have spent on your ship during a session and if you've made money though killing/flagging etc

i agree, thats what ?money is for.

[»D1st0rt]

if you really want to see your money all the time just macro it (duh)

[»CypherJF]

One shouldn't have to macro it, duh.
