This collection offers scripts and a map that allow you |
7 |
to send mail (including items) to your fellow players and place public |
8 |
messageboards in the game. There is also a banking system. |
9 |
It also allows for NPCs who can report on player login activity (seen.py). |
10 |
(note the bank script has been moved to banksay.py) |

Requirements: |
13 |
- Crossfire (October 19th, 2005 CVS code or later, requires v2.0 plugin interface) |
14 |
- Python (2.0 or higher) |
15 |
- Python Crossfire plugin (latest) |
16 |
|
17 |
Installation: |
18 |
Should work by default if python plugin is running |
19 |
|
20 |
It is possible to place multiple messageboards in your |
21 |
game, copy the example in the map from /ImperialPost/IPO and |
22 |
change 'event_say_options GENERALBOARD' and give it an |
23 |
unique name. |
24 |
|
25 |
Hooking up other NPCs to the seen script is pretty simple. |
26 |
|
27 |
There are currently two post offices and two banking outlets, one each |
28 |
in Navar and Scorn. If you add more please follow these guidelines: |

|
30 |
*******Imperial Post************** |
31 |
The mailboxes could be put in different places, there should be a few around out there. |
32 |
|
33 |
|
34 |
*******Imperial Banking************** |
35 |
These are Imperial bank (actually Scuds Bank) if you want to |
36 |
add some banks to non-imperial cities (?) maybe consider making different |
37 |
scripts to and use a different currency and a new account database |
38 |
so players can have other bank account (bankdatabase="<your bank>Bank_DB") |
39 |
changing the bank notes is harder since it involves making a new arch, but |
40 |
you should be able to do so with little problems. |
41 |
|
42 |
But remember less is more.... |
43 |
|
44 |
Right now the only place to get imperial script is the bank. I think it is better |
45 |
to keep it this way and not use imperial script as treasure or make converters. |
46 |
Maybe on a rare occasion have imperials as a quest reward, but remember all Python |
47 |
stuff should be optional. Do however consider using imperials for python gadgetry |
48 |
(like slot machines or other such optional gizmos), but only in the Imperial lands. |

Make sure you have updated the python_remove.py script to remove accounts when players quit |
51 |
if you have a custom one. |
