Mongbatica's Mail System v1.0

[flowerbudd]

I was flipping through my address book, which had [allnames in it from yesterday. I will go on test now with backups of live and try

 

[flowerbudd]

flipping like a mad woman on test with backed up files and nothing is happening.... go figure lol

 

[Voran]

Hehe - ah well, I'll have a fiddle when I get in and see what happens. I want to add some new features (alphabetising, properties display, removal of deleted characters, etc), so there will probably be a version 2.0 tonight.

 

[flowerbudd]

You da Scriptah

I am not crashing... ?
Seems to work great so far for me

What did you do to get that error?

 

[Voran]

Updated!

The gump now displays the names in alphabetical order, ignoring deleted characters. The book also displays the total number of entries it contains.

I've tidied the code up a bit, too.

 

[Tarkan]

Oh, I see how it is. Voran's trying to out do me huh! just kidding. Script looks to be much more in-depth than mine. Can't wait until I can get home to test it out and see if I can help find/fix the bug with the bees wax. Not that I am saying I can, but who knows. Keep up da good work Voran and hope you can get this fixed for the others that are having problems.

This one is seems way too complicated...

 

[malgrimace]

What did you do to get that error?

I don't know what happened. I sent the letter to a member of my staff as a Test. When he opened it, it crashed the server. (At least that's all he's telling me)

 

[Anvil]

Is there a "postage stamp" fee associated with sending parcels? Perhaps say 37gp or whatever you'd like to make it...

Anvil

 

[Voran]

Nice idea! A stamp fee, maybe weight based... I'll see about adding something like that as an option tonight!

 

[Taffer]

I tried fooling with this and if I am correct you can only write a letter to someone if you have added them to the address book correct? Thought it might be good to have the option to be able to write a letter and seal it regaurdless of the adddress book.

 

[Voran]

I believe the other system's letters let you do that- I'd reccomend using them if tht's what you need

 

[thegrandmystic]

Is there anything regarding package weight? I just imagined a really funny exploit...

Player A and B hate Player C. Player A challanged player C to duel him, player B runs into town with address book in hand. While Player A & C duel, Player B "lovingly" delivers Player C a nice little gift of, oh, 1000 ore.

 

[georox]

thanks for the idea ;> Ill ruin some players duels tommorow ;>

 

[Gandy897]

Its prolly just me .. no crash or anything, loads up just fine. But i havent got the slightest idea how to use it.. I added the names to the address book. How do u turn the bees wax into sealing wax or do u just buy sealing wax. And when i send a letter it ends up in my bag as a white scroll, so how do i actually send the letter ??

 

[Voran]

To send the letter, you plae it in a postbox.
On mongbatica, sealing wax is craftable - you can add it to your own shard however you want.

How exactly is it Crafted? I usually just type [add sealingwax <value>
But thats just me, I'm not sure how the Players can get it unless I make a vendor sell it or something

 

[Voran]

Either do that, or add it to, say, deftinkering.
I know georox has a rather nice system made, if he'd be willing to share it.
