OK, mentioned this somewhere else. Regarding the "3 kills tops" rule. What if you get attacked? What if all your three kills has been in defense? And then a fourth guy comes, and attacks you. What will you do? If you attack back, you either die or get banned.

Well it is only a ten minute ban...twice as long as death!

Yes ! good thanks for posting changes ! i liked being informed ! now i got some questions ! (hehe as always)

1. Is the Pk tracker logged in the data base, so you can keep track of who is doing ti rampent

2. any chance we can get the PK tracker to reset, say, if the server is up more then 90 min ?

3. ive noticed New code in the server window, that when i kill some one it says "they had nothing of yours"

is the stealing code working ?

There is some problems with time telling on the databse I am currently working on that and there will be a small time limit on it when I get that part fixed. This will also clear the "One Char per Server Restart" it will be one char per "X" amount of time. And yes it is tracked in the database but is ony good per log in.

Well maybe negotiate instead of killing...(hmm sounds good to me)

Well, it's not that easy if you've got a dumbass orc crawling up your back. I mean, if the bashing has already begun, there's no stopping it. If you start running away and yelling "stop stop! let's talk!" you will be taken for a bloody chicken. And fleeing of to no pvp areas is chickengame.

I get you, don't worry. Of course it's always better not to kill anyone. I play like that. But sometimes, it's inevitable to fight to death. And that makes you end up with the choices above. Die, or get banned.

(I am jsut saying, that this situation will happen some times. For sure. But it's a good way to stop reckless killings. And other changes are good. As always, I appreciate your work, Bri.

Ask them to follow you to an arena? And settle it like men!

what about the hafling filter

if character_race_attribute=hafling
{
get_char_txt_ouput(strings) => txt
if txt="I'm not a theif" then lie°1(bool)=1
if character_attribute = rogue then lie°2(bool)=1
if character_gold >= 30000 lie°3(bool)=1
if lie°1&lie°2&lie3=1 kick player
}

(just kiddind)

Actually, I think it's good the way it is. Think of thsi way, how much chance is there that you will kill 3 people in self-defense in 90 minutes? Almost no chance at all, so it's still good to defend yourself, because(unless you're working with a griefer, go report THAT to a DM) you wil not get those 3 kills anyway. And if you do, it's only ten minutes. Ten minutes isn't much, actually, it's almost nothing. Live with it, unless you want griefers and other players like that to become more active again...

My only concern is if a war or something similar between players breaks out. Say two rival factions get into a large fight, a mage on one side casts chain lighting killing 6 of the enemies who were already badly wounded. That mage is immediatley gone from the battle. I see up sides and down sides to it, either way I'm going to keep playing.

Also remember people will attack in groups, say you are a Cleric or Wizard and are approached by 3 rogues who pickpocket or attack you for some odd reason, You kill all 3 of them but then ur gone. Lamers could easily exploit this by doing things similar to this, i feel it detracts from the RP. Shadowcore the reason you say u dont kill that many people in 90 minutes is well....your char is a pacifist, a peacemaker of course you hardly kill anyone. Such instances as the 3 rogues will and still are very common with various renegade rogue organizations running around, like the scamps and LoS.

Hey now the Scamps are not a renegade rogue organization.

*__________________________________________________________________*
Here is the new changes effective 4/19/2003
1) Added some stuff to the database for tracking, Class Level, Class, Race, ALignment, (Tradeskills)
2) Currently Foresting and Cooking tradeskills is now tracked in the database. But you will still receive tokens(can't remove them without wipe). These tokens will basically just be a reference on your skill level. But be warned if they are stolen(eventhough they are not suppose to be) you loose those levels. I am working on this fix....be patient. These changes look small but it is well over 30 hours of coding. These changes will track all future tradeskills.

It is illegal to charge to play NWN games/mods. That is why we accept donations...if you wish to donate please do so....

I still have to get off my lazy butt, go to the post office and send you people 20 bucks for making this brilliant game. I love you all, and I will show it as soon as I can.

i had money to spend but now i have to buy a PA system and all that stuff...so any money i have left over from that goes to dyso

Maelstrom696969 · Mon 04/21/03 6:38pm

Okay now we've seriously derailed this topic. We went from Dyso changes to paying Bri to Glorin buying his Pa a system for something. Stop it.
