You could always use the julian calendar.


Anyways, new staticvars/commands that would be very handy:
* currentserver = string (read only) // returns the current server name
* string=type_check(var) // returns "string" "int" "float" "array" etc
* playergold = bool (read only) // set if the player has gold or not
* playervip = bool (read only) // set if the player is vip or not
* ability to trigger an event on a separate server (triggeraction from babylon to npulse, for example. could be useful for coordinating events and suchlike, or a cross-server sparring tournament)
* ability to retreive data from a separate server (babylon getting a var or player position from npulse)
* for images: ability to set if they are global or client (allow more than 200 global indexes per npc)
* ability to make emitters global as well
* more than one timer (ability to create separate timers and per-timer timeout events instead of only having one built-in event)
* ability to check to see if an image was clicked on (not just in the bounds of the image.. actually per-pixel checking. think: round buttons)
* ability for DBs to trigger the clientside of a weapon, etc
* ability to rotate text (both showimg@@@ and showtext)


new gui controls that would be very handy:
* a pop-up window that does not take focus (in-line command listing like in MSVB)
* a transparent container
* push buttons (similar to radio buttons, but more button-like)

useful additions to gui controls:
* word left / word right (ctrl+left/right) in text boxes. same with selecting text (ctrl+shift+left/right)
* large undo stack (256 or so undos)
* ability to add hotkeys (if this isn't already implemented)


more to come when I think of them.
