<< < (2/16) > >>

Crazy:
That definitely sounds good !

avv:
In devs we trust.

Grommok:
Wow! I must really find some 1-headed brahmin for you...
Let the reign of the GNTMWFOG never end!

Bartosz:
Ok, wrote another post on that subject. Go and check if it's bullshit or not http://fonline2238.blogspot.com/2011/08/revolutionizing-faction-terminal-data.html. I am still unsure whether I'm not trying to make something bigger than actually needed (which may turn out to be some kind of fail), oh well:)

Crazy:
Ohohoh, it become more and more intersting.

But that may be a lots of data to cope with. What do you think? What would be useful to see out there in those terminals? Or maybe it's not needed at all?

I can assure you that knowing the exact stock we have would be useful. Moreover, this could be even better if there were a register, where all stuff deposited/taken by who and when would be written: I know that especially new faction where members don't trust each other so much would be happy to have such feature. But obviously, if it require too much of the server we can live without it. However, if it's not a big deal, well, this would be a great addition.



--- Quote ---Notice how some of that data does not really affect gameworld. For example, the status - if the player is the enemy for your gang, the gameworld (npcs, monsters and other script-driven aspects of the game) does not care about that fact. But should it be the terminal of an NPC faction, then such status matters.

This is not totally true, ennemy status is used for mercs ATM, and there is even the awesome (useless but awesome) command to ask on radio if a nick is ennemy or friend ("we checked our record. it is ennemy!"). Also, it would be good if even in those players factions, status reflected something in game: it could be for militia in TC for example (ennemy shot on sight, friends protected). And if you don't plan to give us back the genius old NameColorizing, it could be cool if we could have a faction related NC, where you can assign a color to each gang to see their registered members in the color chosen.

Also, an option to affiliate your whole player faction to a NPC faction could be great too.
