   5 * Add a title to people when they beat the dragon - Tsukasa
   6
   7 * Add an option for GameServ to identify with nickserv - Tsukasa & watever
   8
   9 * A russian roullette type game with tankards of ale ... one of which is
  10     poisoned. Each time you take a drink and don't die, the stakes are
  11     higher - WOLFGAR & kain
  12
  13 * Put some limits on what players can gain per level - Steve
  14
  15 * Make sure gameserv doesn't send the welcome message during a link

  18     GameServ
  19
  20 * Gangs of people that can get together and fight other gangs in large
  21     group battles
  22     - gang names
  23     - gangs.dat file with numbers assigned to gangs
  24     - a new array of linked lists with each element pointing to an
  25         aClient structure based on their gang number
  26     - group battles would go on order of gang numbers
  27     - hired mercenaries (npcs)- ricky-s

  29     - once you beat the game, you can create a gang - kain
  30
  31 * Make config file accept hostnames not just ips
  32
  33 * Random forest quotes when you search the forest
  34
  35 * Change your name for a price :)
  36
  37 * Add a drop command for all(their own nick)/admin(any nick)
  38
  39 * Rejoin the bot if kicked/killed
  40
  41 * Make install
  42
  43 * Make database and config file version numbers
  44     - Not necessary for config files anymore
  45
  46 * Town square shouts. Array of 10 strings that gets rotated
  47     * Choose how many strings to rotate in the config file
  48
  49 * Offline player fighting
  50     * Sleep at the Inn (useful after offline fighting works (players can't fight you unless they bribe the innkeeper))
  51
  52 * Transfer funds through bank accounts with caps on amount and per day (not sure, doubt it)
  53     * Possible choice in gameserv.conf
  54
  55 * MySQL Databases instead of the players.dat/monsters.dat format. This would allow backup
  56     versions of GameServ to be running on the same network using the same data.
  57
  58 * Classes of players with special abilities like spells and such.
  59         - Thieves can rob the bank if they're strong enough :)
  60

  62
  63 * DCC Chat With GameServ for added capabilities

  73     Multiple instances of GameServ on different networks.
  74

  76
  77 X Fix bug where people can identify while they are two different
  78     nicknames

  80 X Add option to config file for forest fights per day, etc.
  81
  82 X Load monsters from a monsters.dat file so they can be changed easily.
  83
  84 X Periodic updates of the gameserv databases to avoid lost data
  85 X Tavern where you can buy potions and powerups
  86 X Add functionality for potions
  87 X Forest events
  88     X Wishing well
  89     X Fountain of youth: rejuvination & forest fights
  90

  92     X No output unless it's a loading error
  93
  94 X Take out most of the output except if in debug mode.
  95         X put in the logfile in debug mode
  96
  97 X Add P10: Undernet protocol
  98
  99 X Notice on missing directive from gameserv.conf file.
 100 X Make it so you can only fight a person at max, so many levels below
 101         you
 102
 103 X Fix bug that doesn't decrease player fights
 104
 105 X Deal with cheaters who create additional characters, fight with them a
 106     bit, then kill them to get their gold.  Maybe add level restrictions
 107     to fighting other players?
 108
 109 X Hash tables for speedy search/insert into player lists.
 110
 111 X Fix the hashing algorithm for nickname changes!
 112
 113 X Some reconnect scheme that will reconnect the server on squit
 114
 115 X Idle time events - mobbed by the goblin gang
 116         X (timestamp on each player, periodic checks (config file entry),
 117         X if (time(NULL) - player->idlesince >= maxidletime) then (event())
 118
 119 X Make an option to switch between privmsg/notice
 120
 121 X option for gameserv oper in config file
 122
 123 X Finish the monsters for all levels.
 124
 125 X Make all applicable commands take the player name instead of the irc
 126     nickname as their parameter. This way players can have different names
 127     and stay anonymous on IRC while enjoying full game functionality.
 128
 129 X make auto message on connect optional
 130
 131 X Add admin version of the logout command which allows them to logout
 132     anyone
 133
 134 X Make an end monster for whatever the last level in the game is...
 135     that way the game has a point no matter how many monsters
 136         are done!
 137
 138 X Daily news (murders, kidnappings, level gains, red dragon slayings)
 139

 142
 143 X Add a function to check how long until gameserv refreshes
 144
 145 X Notice on database updates
 146
 147 X Monsters should be more random. Perhaps grabbing from a large pool stored in a txt file rather than
 148     strictly 12 specific monsters per level. Maybe a .dat file for every level. This would require a
 149     restructure of how the monsters are stored, because the 12x12 matrix is restrictive. Perhaps a
 150     chain of pearls type structure.
 151
 152 X Group all data in a data directory
 153
 154 X Beating the dragon should post a new news item. - WOLFGAR
 155
 156 X Put the masters in a masters.dat file.
