| 6 | 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) |
| 11 | |
| 12 | 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: |
| 29 | |
| 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. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Make sure you have updated the python_remove.py script to remove accounts when players quit |
| 51 | if you have a custom one. |
