Started to code timeout events

[irc/gameservirc.git] / gameserv / TODO

* = Not finished
- = Started
X = Finsihed

- Finish the monsters for all levels.

- Make all applicable commands take the player name instead of the irc
    nickname as their parameter. This way players can have different names
    and stay anonymous on IRC while enjoying full game functionality.

- Make an end monster for whatever the last level in the game is...
    that way the game has a point no matter how many monsters
	are done!

- Idle time events - mobbed by the goblin gang (timestamp on each 
    player, periodic checks (config file entry), if (time(NULL) - 
    player->idlesince >= maxidletime) then (event())

* Random forest quotes when you search the forest

* Change your name for a price :)

* Daily news (murders, kidnappings, level gains, red dragon slayings)

* Add a drop command for all(their own nick)/admin(any nick)

* Add admin version of the logout command which allows them to logout 
    anyone
* Rejoin the bot if kicked/killed

* Notice on database updates

* Put the masters in a masters.dat file.

* Group all data in a data directory

* Make install

* Make database and config file version numbers
    - Not necessary for config files anymore

* Town square shouts. Array of 10 strings that gets rotated
    * Choose how many strings to rotate in the config file

* Offline player fighting
    * Sleep at the Inn (useful after offline fighting works (players can't fight you unless they bribe the innkeeper))

* Transfer funds through bank accounts with caps on amount and per day (not sure, doubt it)
    * Possible choice in gameserv.conf

* MySQL Databases instead of the players.dat/monsters.dat format. This would allow backup 
    versions of GameServ to be running on the same network using the same data.

* Classes of players with special abilities like spells and such.

* Error handling

* DCC Chat With GameServ for added capabilities

* Timeouts on player fights w/ option in config file for timeout rate
    * Other player will win on timeout? option in config file

* Implement some sort of IP identification scheme so you can only have one 
	player per user@host.
