Yes, some of the more expensive items were currently unbuyable unless one used a bug, as they cost more in platinum than the strongest person could lift. I also have some concerns that this will cause inflation, and "platinum is the new silver". Could map and item makers please avoid making items that cost that much unless there is a very good reason for doing so? ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Very cool :D.

[crossfire] [patch] Large-denomination coins
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just submitted a patch to the tracker. It adds two high-denomination coins: jade (after Chinese history and many Chinese-themed RPGs such as Exalted) and amberium (a Zelazny reference, although this material doesn't exist on his books). One jade coin = 100 plat; one amb = 100 jade. Incidentally, thanks to implementation details of shop.c, this raises the largest possible item value by a factor of 1 - it used to be 2^32 plat, now it's 2^32 amb. Also included is a patch for the Scorn bank; other banks and the guilds are left as exercise for the reader (or I may do it if a dev asks nicely). http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1389033&group_id=13833&atid=313833 best, Lalo Martins - -- So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. - -- http://www.laranja.org/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GNU: never give up freedom http://www.gnu.org/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDrEQhc+NusBpPPUkRAhGUAKCfUVoqgIbqu/Dq51GXH+8LZvg2AQCfavfo bM0LTXKXc3TJtUGu/v3T/wk= =kd/I -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
