Productive Day!
I have had a REALLY productive day today. It's actually getting quite exciting again, with all of the new stuff just around the corner.
Some of the things done today:
- Improved Merchant NPC plugin - Items are arranged in categories.
- General Store NPC takes over duties of the Armoury for now. He will sell you everything that used to be on that page.
- Quest now shows the offline players in an area as CAMPING. It means they don't disappear and make the maps look vacant. More to attack too;)
- Random Slaughter removed - replaced by Swift Kill List on attack page, which is much more efficient and performs a similar, if not better function as it selected 5 enemies.
- Tutorial Map made for new players. Simplistic at the moment, but very useful to introduce them to the game.
- Lookout point finally has a Wise Man, although he isn't speaking to anyone yet:)
- Improvements to Wiki UI and content.
There were some other things but I can't remember what they were:)
In addition, I am planning on periodic FutureRP newsletter for all players. You'll be able to opt in and out via your preference page in a few days.
It will give you a list of the top players and guilds, the latest news, information about upcoming changes to the game, forewarning about new Item sets and monsters being added, etc.
I thought it would be a nice touch:)
Player Alliances Page Updated
I have updated the Allies & Enemies page, and set any incoming enemy declarations to hidden on the target's profile.
What that means is, if you make someone your enemy, it will only be shown on your profile, not theirs.
Changing Available Races
I will explain the changes to races in the new Wiki I'm setting up.
There are a few more super races that have not been added yet.
Progress Today
The Assembler Skill!
This skill allows the user to construct all sorts of objects based upon their Blueprints.
It is a high-tech skill that requires a player to learn how to use the assembly control device, which is currently a special glove;)
The reasoning behind this is simple - the game is futuristic, so something like this is more plausible than having a handful of less interesting skills to learn, such as Blacksmithing, Tailoring, etc.
A screenshot of the skill's control page is [here].
Progress Today
Today, I have brought the second Boss NPC raid online, dropping the recently refurbished up Devastation Set;)
He lives at Wilderness [7] - T.U.R.C Entrance(15,1).
Today's Progress
Today, I've cleaned a lot of code up and moved the beginner's fishing area nearer the settlement.
A lot of people complained that it was too much of a trek to reach it and go back to the settlement for supplies;)
Finally, I have finished the second Boss NPC! His name is "Titan, the Furious", and he drops some rather sought after items every now and then.
You can't see him yet though - the map he lives in is not connected to the main map. I will do this tomorrow, as I ran out of time today.
