Re: [crossfire] Make start maps unique
Hello. Unless someone gives a good counter-argument, I'll make the /start/newbieshouse a unique map (from the Nexus). Done, entering it from Nexus or through character creation enters the unique map. I'll also add it to the map choice in the character creation (this'll require changing the mechanism to handle unique maps), maybe replacing the Nexus map - since Scorn and Navar can be reached from the starting map choice. That newbie house was already a start choice, so wasn't hard to fix :) Nicolas -- Mon p'tit coin du web - http://nicolas.weeger.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
[crossfire] Make start maps unique
Hello. Unless someone gives a good counter-argument, I'll make the /start/newbieshouse a unique map (from the Nexus). The rationale is that there are things to do, books to read, monsters to kill, traps to find, so it's logical the map is always ready for new characters (and no, fast reset times don't count IMO). I'll also add it to the map choice in the character creation (this'll require changing the mechanism to handle unique maps), maybe replacing the Nexus map - since Scorn and Navar can be reached from the starting map choice.

That seems completely reasonable.

I wonder if some hook/plugin should be used to delete that unique map once the players leave it. The problem with the unique maps right now is they sit around forever (unique permanent) - but for something like the newbiehouse, probably no reason for that to be true (I'm not even sure if one can get back to it after really starting play) That said, for modern systems, the amount of space those unique maps would take would be pretty trivial, so probably not that big an issue. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
