Well, my plan is to build a DB on Classic for Global Guilds.
It will have it's difficulties, however, since we don't have direct access to the guild database.
All we can really do is check rank numbers, guild nicks, and if a player is in a guild or not.
My plan:
1. Register Guilds into DB as they appear.
2. Every time guild tag is worn, update an activity timer (will delete the guild and it's stats if that time has past)
3. Allow the creation of unique flags for each guild in the DB NPC.
4. Use stuff like MoD Fort to give the guild stats, money, etc.
5. Create a flag that keeps track of a player's independent guilds.
6. From this, discourage multiguilding (ex. disable protection from a guildmate's hits for multiguilders.. ((yea, that's an upside of custom HD)), lower unique stats of the guild).
7. Allow alliances to be created in some sort of building (Graal Memorial probably). Alliances would have to be in mutual agreement between guild leaders, but not the destruction of those alliances. Enemies don't have to be in mutual agreement. From this, alliances could be safe from hitting each other, and defeating enemies would allow a guild better stats than defeating anyone that isn't an enemy.
You see, I'd rather just keep the global thing for ease on gameplay, and manipulate it to my power to better improve it. No one else will, so why not? However, this isn't on today's list of things to do. It's probably on my list after converting arrows.
let's see... for projects on my list:
1. Morpher, Knife of Fiends (easy but I have been busy improving damage)
2. Readding anti-lame to bombs, putting explosions on modified HD (easy)
2. Building S+A dropping into new movement (still on storm's system ya), adding bed heal/lava hurt, dropping stuff when dying (hope it's easy)
3. Projectiles (it'll be a horrible nightmare)
4. Guild System (it'll be a horrible nightmare x 1000000000)
And fixing bugs goes anywhere in between any of those. |
