Command Improvements.

I wrote a lottery suggestion, which you may or may not have seen. If you haven't seen it please view the thread:

Thanks.

 

It would be nice if there were a way to edit a trade sign. For instance, if you have a sign that is selling something for $10 each you could type "/smodify $9", which will tell you to click on the sign to modify. You then click on the sign and it changes the sign from buying for $10 to $9

It would be nice if you could add experience to or remove experience from a trade sign. Type "/smodify exp +300" would ask you to click on a a sign to modify. Clicking on a sign that sells exp would put 300 experience that you currently have into the sign. "/smodify exp +all" would add all the experience you have into the sign. "/smodify exp -300" would allow you to remove 300 experience from a sign from which you are selling experience.

The same goes for money if you are buying things. "/smodify $ +2000" would add $2000 to the amount of money that you have in a sign that you are using to buy things. "/smodify $ -2000" would remove $2000 from a sign.

This structure could be used for items that you are selling to. Currently, you have to click a sign over and over and over to add items to a sign. It would be nice to be able to use "/smodify dirt +1280" then click on a sign once and it will add 20 stacks of dirt that you have in your inventory to a sign that is already selling dirt. You could also have "/smodify dirt +all" to allow you to add ALL dirt in your inventory into a sign.

Finally, you could give people the ability to remove items from a sign in the same manner as removing money or experience, e.g. "/smodify dirt -640". This might be available to anyone or available only to people with say the extended creations.

I guess you could create commands "/sadd", "/saddall" and "/sremove" which would remove the need for plus and minus signs (e.g. "/sremove dirt 640", "/sremove $2000", "/sremove exp 825", "/saddall exp", "/saddall dirt"). /sadd could also just be a shortcut for a longer command "/signadd". Other possible names are "/tradesignadd", "/tradeadd". I'm not married to the names, just the idea.

 

Idea to improve trades, when someone pays someone make it like a tp request:

I type: /pay khobbits 500
Khobbits gets: Cdlawrence has sent you $500, type /accept to receive the money
Once Khobbits accepts I get: Khobbits has accepted your payment

That way I can screen shot that the user actually accepted and therefore acknowledges that they got the money.
No more "You didn't pay" scams.

 

No need, a picture of "$500 sent to khobbits" does the exact same thing. This causes you to take more then one screenshot, ect ect, just wastes time.

 

What about to help prevent paying the wrong person? I think there could be use to it, I dont see it as a waste

 

Pay the wrong person = they type accept.
Normally pay the wrong person = they have the money anyway.

That doesn't keep you from paying the wrong person.

 

Simple but time saving ideas...

/repair all = /ra or /repair
/rg addmember [town name] [player name] = /rg am [town name] [player name]
/mail send [player name] = /ms [player name]

 

I know this is slightly a necro, not to bad, but I had a good idea inspired by I think a random builder in chat. The ability to pm two people at once. You could separate their names using commas like in worldguard to pm multiple people the same message.
E.G. /pm andrewkm, khobbits herro

 

Maybe remove ./ci and make it only /clearinventory

 

You can do this in the configuration file.

 

We aren't all super techno computer program wizards...

 

I never said anything about being a "super techno computer program wizard"...

I'm telling him that this is already in place, and it is up to Andrew to decide if he would like to change this.

 

Then...why would I want to know how to change it? Only Andrew can do it...

 

Make adding and removing town members easier

 

As for that idea, I'm thinking a GUI trade system. I also think adding an "auction house" type of set up would make trading easier and reduce /ch tr spam.

As for commands, I know this one andrew would have to work with but an improved /help rules... such as /help rules <rule> to expand on the rule listed. So to show what I mean:

<rikari88>: /help rules
-----help rules-----
Section ! - Universal Living
Section 2 - Griefing
etc. etc.

<rikari88>: /help rules Section 1 (or just 1, 2, 3, etc.)

-----Section 1 | Universal Living----
Clause I - words
Clause II - more words
etc etc

I know that that would be a lot of work (not so much on the coding part but on the config part. You would have to make it so it relies on it's own config considering it's size and the amount of possible parse errors that could easily happen if not stuck to a format so use UTF-8 or something like that?) I think this could be beneficial for us to tell people in game to look at the rules and quote which rule they need to look at. But also, it could be a severe hinderance.

I just thought of a way to make trade easier using a similar thing to /pay. Even though /pay is a transfer of numbers rather than objects, have it to where /trade KHobbits goldblock 10 would take the goldblock from my inventory and create goldblocks in your inventory.

Or use something similar to /invsee, but have boxes at the side for people to put their items in and hit a trade button and a box at the bottom for eco transfers. It's a basic GUI but I don't know if you need any additional plugins to get that working considering /invsee just uses the inventory GUI.

 

Tomica, it says in the OP that he doesn't do regions.

 

/buy (item)

Buys an item from the server. Costs more than server price.

 

Probably not gonna happen MHXL. This would cause items to have a max price, the user market would be limited.
Andrew also doesn't have the server sell everything because he wants user-user interaction and trade.

 

Make a command that prevents you from buying lotto tickets for a set amount of time. Such as /lot disable 60 would disable the ability to buy lotto tickets for 60 seconds. This would benefit those with a lotto addiction
