gameserv/TODO

   1 * = Not Started
   2 - = Started
   3 X = Finished
   4
   5 * A russian roullette type game with tankards of ale ... one of which is
   6     poisoned. Each time you take a drink and don't die, the stakes are
   7     higher - WOLFGAR & kain
   8 * Beating the dragon should post a new news item. - WOLFGAR
   9
  10 * Monsters should be more random. Perhaps grabbing from a large pool stored in a txt file rather than
  11     strictly 12 specific monsters per level. Maybe a .dat file for every level. This would require a
  12     restructure of how the monsters are stored, because the 12x12 matrix is restrictive. Perhaps a
  13     chain of pearls type structure.
  14
  15 * Put some limits on what players can gain per level - Steve
  16
  17 * Make sure gameserv doesn't send the welcome message during a link
  18
  19 * Add functionality to allow people to enter their last dying words to
  20     GameServ
  21
  22 * Gangs of people that can get together and fight other gangs in large
  23     group battles
  24     - gang names
  25     - gangs.dat file with numbers assigned to gangs
  26     - a new array of linked lists with each element pointing to an
  27         aClient structure based on their gang number
  28     - group battles would go on order of gang numbers
  29     - hired mercenaries (npcs)- ricky-s
  30     - level 3 and above can be gangs only - macblind
  31     - once you beat the game, you can create a gang - kain
  32
  33 * Make config file accept hostnames not just ips
  34
  35 * Random forest quotes when you search the forest
  36
  37 * Change your name for a price :)
  38
  39 * Add a drop command for all(their own nick)/admin(any nick)
  40
  41 * Rejoin the bot if kicked/killed
  42
  43 * Put the masters in a masters.dat file.
  44
  45 * Group all data in a data directory
  46
  47 * Make install
  48
  49 * Make database and config file version numbers
  50     - Not necessary for config files anymore
  51
  52 * Town square shouts. Array of 10 strings that gets rotated
  53     * Choose how many strings to rotate in the config file
  54
  55 * Offline player fighting
  56     * Sleep at the Inn (useful after offline fighting works (players can't fight you unless they bribe the innkeeper))
  57
  58 * Transfer funds through bank accounts with caps on amount and per day (not sure, doubt it)
  59     * Possible choice in gameserv.conf
  60
  61 * MySQL Databases instead of the players.dat/monsters.dat format. This would allow backup
  62     versions of GameServ to be running on the same network using the same data.
  63
  64 * Classes of players with special abilities like spells and such.
  65         - Thieves can rob the bank if they're strong enough :)
  66
  67 * Error handling
  68
  69 * DCC Chat With GameServ for added capabilities
  70
  71 * Implement some sort of IP identification scheme so you can only have one
  72         player per user@host.
