Letters for the Post Office

[raisor]

I've went and created letters that players can send to each other through the Post Office Stone. I added the Letter as an item you can buy from the Bankers and Minters since that is where my post office stones are but they can be added anywhere with a little scripting.

Installation:
Unzip *.cs to your Scripts folder.

Usage:
[ADD Letter

Updates:
11-27-2004 1:30PM MST - Fixed issue with the LetterReadGump.cs causing a problem of duplication of letters when trying to close it and no recipient or message is entered.
09-15-2004 9:21AM MST - Fixed issue with to and message being cleared on changegump. Should no longer blank out the info.
09-15-2004 8:40AM MST - Added version info to zip file.
09-14-2004 5:32AM MST - Updated wording on letter gump to resolve any confusion on how it is supposed to work.
09-13-2004 9:08PM MST - Added Serialize and Deserialize methods so that the text in the letter would not be lost during server reboots. *** WARING *** You will HAVE to remove all old letters from the game in order to update this if you have already installed a previous version of the script. Sorry.
09-11-2004 1:41PM MST - Added new gumps to zip file.

*** CREDITS *** Thanks to atticus589 for, once again, making some AWESOME gumps for this script.

Very usefull for PostOffice Stone, I like it so much. Thanks for sharing.

If you want to add to Banker or minter sell this. Add this line to SBBanker.cs

Add( new GenericBuyInfo( "a Letter", typeof( Letter ), 250, 5, 0x14ED, 0x47E ) );

I have not tried the scripted yet, Getting rdy to shortly but if you send a letter to an offline user do they still get it or can you even send to and offline user?
Reguardless nice script

I was just thinking it would be kind of cool if a scribe could craft letters :] just something i thought would be neat but im not sure what kind of work is involved in making that happen.

If you send the letter through the post office stone, it will be delivered regardless of online status.

I can try to work on that. Still trying to sort out the duplicate name issue with the Post Office Stone though so might be a bit. Then again, this one might be easier!

Thanks,

That would be great! I haven't experimented yet with any mobiles, just items, or I would try to do this!

Not sure I quite understand what you are saying but if what you meant to say is "There are no files in the Letters.zip that match *.cs." then I would say that you need to re-download the zip file.

[Eville_Dragon]

nope, empty zip file. i checked from another computer too, also empty from there.

[Suffering]

I had the same problem too. Then I redownloaded it and the files were encoded. Three times a charm though...I got it this time. Not sure what happened but the lettergump looks really sweet.

Its Work Good

but is there anyway to do the letter craftable??

thanks

[yevusi]

sounds a good idea,

i'm thinking about restricting writing on the letter to ones with appropriate scribe skill, this way, you can use scribing skill as another tradeskill
maybe even add read/write languages

what do you think? is it too much ?

[Broze The Newb]

no i don't think it will be to much
i think its will be fun

[soldierfortune]

I made the letter craftable. You can find the code here:
