Madman's Features list

[Madman]

Not really sure why this is on the front page, but hi!

Ok, I've gone through... not this whole forum, but the last 2 pages. I have skimmed through stuff- yes, I might have missed something.

I don't have a lot of time for coding right now, but what I can do is try to make things easier and more efficient for the ones who are.

I am assigning a personal "priority" to each - you may disagree, and so might the other devs, but it's where I feel they go. Not on a huge amount of reflection, mind you. Green low, Blue medium, Red high.

UO.em:
GetGlobalPropertyNames() - just return a list of names. It's medium because it's probably pretty easy.
CheckLosAt accept char or item; or, CheckLosBetween(x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,realm) - pretty straightforward

Book methodscripts:
Add character as a param- allows locking books to specific people, char-centered sounds, animations

cfgfile.em:
GetConfigPropertyNames(cfgelemref)
GetConfigElemType(cfgElemRef)

General:
Speed normalization- anti-speedhack
Update login for new clients - see below
Use IDs > 1023 in MULs - this shouldn't be too difficult

Combat:
ApplyDamage returning real damage done
way to return the wait time until player's next swing

Items:
Destroyscript should call Unequipscript - unless there's a compelling reason why not?

NPCs
Move purchasing of items out of core - see http://forums.polserver.com/ftopic1965.php - seems like a good idea, probably hard though
Methodscripts - see http://forums.polserver.com/ftopic27.php
Verbose errors if they fail to move - tell us what stopped them, possibly add a forcemove option

boats.cfg:
Allow non-default z

Gumps:
CloseGump( character, gump_id ) - close the gump and return something to the waiting script

Methodscripts:
Clean them up some - http://forums.polserver.com/ftopic2043.php - currently if a method is called any previously running methods on that Object die

Escript:
Allow counter declaration in for loops - such as: for (var i := 5; i > 0; i -= 1)

New client login info:

Nice idea, thanks for the effort you (will) put into this.

Noticed this:
GetConfigPropertyNames(cfgelemref)

Couldn't find a thread about it, so, how exactly is it going to differ from ListConfigElemProps( element ) (http://docs.polserver.com/pol097/fullfunc.php?xmlfile=cfgfileem#ListConfigElemProps)?

Have to say I like the proposed name better, but is there something else, too, that I did not realize?

[Madman]

Here is the thread which proposed it:
http://forums.polserver.com/ftopic1339.php

If that is how things already work, then I can check it off the list.

[ncrsn]

Boy, is my search ability weak or is it just the engine... But yeah, that's what it does.

[ncrsn]

Waiting for an update I am.

Any time now, right?

(Who told you this was a good idea)
