  10
  11 * Add an option for GameServ to identify with nickserv - Tsukasa & watever
  12
  13 * A russian roullette type game with tankards of ale ... one of which is
  14     poisoned. Each time you take a drink and don't die, the stakes are
  15     higher - WOLFGAR & kain
  16
  17 * Put some limits on what players can gain per level - Steve
  18

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

  33     - once you beat the game, you can create a gang - kain
  34
  35 * Make config file accept hostnames not just ips
  36
  37 * Random forest quotes when you search the forest

  40

  42
  43 * Rejoin the bot if kicked/killed
  44
  45 * Make install
  46
  47 * Make database and config file version numbers
  48     - Not necessary for config files anymore

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

  53 * Offline player fighting
  54     * Sleep at the Inn (useful after offline fighting works (players can't fight you unless they bribe the innkeeper))
  55

  57     * Possible choice in gameserv.conf
  58
  59 * MySQL Databases instead of the players.dat/monsters.dat format. This would allow backup
  60     versions of GameServ to be running on the same network using the same data.

  89 X Tavern where you can buy potions and powerups

 104 X Make it so you can only fight a person at max, so many levels below
 105         you
 106
 107 X Fix bug that doesn't decrease player fights
 108
 109 X Deal with cheaters who create additional characters, fight with them a
 110     bit, then kill them to get their gold.  Maybe add level restrictions
 111     to fighting other players?
 112
 113 X Hash tables for speedy search/insert into player lists.
 114
 115 X Fix the hashing algorithm for nickname changes!
 116
 117 X Some reconnect scheme that will reconnect the server on squit
 118
 119 X Idle time events - mobbed by the goblin gang
 120         X (timestamp on each player, periodic checks (config file entry),
 121         X if (time(NULL) - player->idlesince >= maxidletime) then (event())
 122
 123 X Make an option to switch between privmsg/notice
 124
 125 X option for gameserv oper in config file
 126
 127 X Finish the monsters for all levels.
 128
 129 X Make all applicable commands take the player name instead of the irc
 130     nickname as their parameter. This way players can have different names

 132
 133 X make auto message on connect optional
 134
 135 X Add admin version of the logout command which allows them to logout
 136     anyone
 137
 138 X Make an end monster for whatever the last level in the game is...
 139     that way the game has a point no matter how many monsters

 146
 147 X Add a function to check how long until gameserv refreshes
 148
 149 X Notice on database updates
 150
 151 X Monsters should be more random. Perhaps grabbing from a large pool stored in a txt file rather than
 152     strictly 12 specific monsters per level. Maybe a .dat file for every level. This would require a
 153     restructure of how the monsters are stored, because the 12x12 matrix is restrictive. Perhaps a
 154     chain of pearls type structure.
 155
 156 X Group all data in a data directory
 157
 158 X Beating the dragon should post a new news item. - WOLFGAR
 159
 160 X Put the masters in a masters.dat file.
