gameserv/TODO

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

 106 X Fix bug that doesn't decrease player fights
 107
