Drake Online: Scipter wanted: Website Integration

[Luth]

As the core game nears completion, and all the A-priority tasks get done, a lot of B-priority tasks are rising to the surface. These are the tasks that are not essential to game-play, but are instead the pieces that add extra fun to the game. Most of these tasks are not DO-specific, and can be used on your own UO shards as well. In addition to helping DO, and creating something for your own shard, and of the other scripts that you think may benefit you or your shard will be made available to you for thanks. In addition, you will get full credit for your work.

If you're interested in helping out, please contact me at your convenience:

Website Integration
There are multiple levels of website integration that I'd like to do in phases. These are as follows:
Account Creation Synchronized with Forum Registration
Having a forum account allows the user to create a single Drake Online account. DO accounts are limited to one per IP, so just having a forum account does not necessitate that it can have a DO account as well. The user should be able to create the DO account online, with the forum login and game login matching. This information should be stored for easy access throughout the site. As long as the user is logged into the forum, if the account exists, he should be able to access all DO parts of the website as well.

Stat Viewing
While game stats are publicly viewable, individual character's stats are limited to the owner of that character only. The player will be able to view the character's hp, ap, pkp, money, and sleeping status (awake, asleep in the forest, asleep in town, at the inn, at home) from the website. There are no modifications that can be done to the character from the website; viewing only.

Playable Web Interface
Now this one I'm listing just to be complete, and to show the extent of possibilities, both of DO and POL. I do not expect anyone to want to undertake this part of the job, and I fully expect to be doing it myself entirely. Due to the nature of this game, the majority of it can be played through a simple web interface. It will not be complete, nor likely as fun as playing with the graphical client, but it can get the essentials done, and it can be played from any web browser. Players will be able to control their character to a limited extent: going into the forest, fighting monsters, leveling up, using the inn, buying from merchants, visiting the healer, and possibly, if what I believe is possible really is, even handle PvP combat.

Requirements: Varying levels eScript, PHP, and familiar with phpBB3
