   2 - = Started
   3 X = Finished
   4 C = Cancelled
   5
   6 * Make GameServ tell the channel when two players are in a duel and who wins - DjSlash
   7
   8 * A russian roullette type game with tankards of ale ... one of which is
   9     poisoned. Each time you take a drink and don't die, the stakes are
  10     higher - WOLFGAR & kain
  11
  12 * Make sure gameserv doesn't send the welcome message during a link
  13

  15     GameServ
  16
  17 * Gangs of people that can get together and fight other gangs in large
  18     group battles
  19     - gang names
  20     - gangs.dat file with numbers assigned to gangs
  21     - a new array of linked lists with each element pointing to an
  22         aClient structure based on their gang number
  23     - group battles would go on order of gang numbers
  24     - hired mercenaries (npcs)- ricky-s
  25     - level 3 and above can be gangs only - macblind
  26     - once you beat the game, you can create a gang - kain
  27

  38 * Make install
  39
  40 * Make database and config file version numbers

  42
  43 * Town square shouts. Array of 10 strings that gets rotated
  44     * Choose how many strings to rotate in the config file
  45
  46 * Offline player fighting
  47     * Sleep at the Inn (useful after offline fighting works (players can't fight you unless they bribe the innkeeper))
  48
  49 * Transfer funds through bank accounts with caps on amount and per day (not sure, doubt it)
  50     * Possible choice in gameserv.conf
  51     * Trading potions
  52
  53 * MySQL Databases instead of the players.dat/monsters.dat format. This would allow backup

  57         - Thieves can rob the bank if they're strong enough

  79

  81
  82 X Periodic updates of the gameserv databases to avoid lost data
  83 X Tavern where you can buy potions and powerups
  84 X Add functionality for potions
  85 X Forest events

 100
 101 X Fix bug that doesn't decrease player fights
 102
 103 X Deal with cheaters who create additional characters, fight with them a
 104     bit, then kill them to get their gold.  Maybe add level restrictions
 105     to fighting other players?
 106
 107 X Hash tables for speedy search/insert into player lists.
 108
 109 X Fix the hashing algorithm for nickname changes!
 110
 111 X Some reconnect scheme that will reconnect the server on squit
 112
 113 X Idle time events - mobbed by the goblin gang
 114         X (timestamp on each player, periodic checks (config file entry),
 115         X if (time(NULL) - player->idlesince >= maxidletime) then (event())
 116
 117 X Make an option to switch between privmsg/notice
 118
 119 X option for gameserv oper in config file
 120
 121 X Finish the monsters for all levels.
 122
 123 X Make all applicable commands take the player name instead of the irc

 140
 141 X Add a function to check how long until gameserv refreshes

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