Or, if you want it really secret, you can email me at 4DCati@gmail.com.

Have you ever been interested in building, but don't think you have enough of a plan for a full zone?  I am currently looking for some people that would like to either 1) create some small zones that would fit directly into 4D as it is right now (for example remaking the Unicorn Inn which has been destroyed since I joined 4D - this is already in the works by Gilgamesh) or 2) working on finishing some of those zones that are in the build port already - some of which are thisclose to being done (examples of those close to being done: Quixotica (needs scripting work - if you can find Kita, she may be able to give you further information as she was one of the original builders) and Killer Klowns (started by Alabaster and Diandra - needs scripting for the games).    There are many more zones in the build port that were started and never completed so if you have an interest, let me know and I'll see what's in there.

The thought is to let anyone who wants to do some building do it with a limited plan and to get some of the zones that are collecting dust in the build port actually in the game.

Bah, reopening this topic because I can. 

Had a thought on possible new skills tonight while reading through some pdf's I downloaded trying to get my head back into the gaming/roleplaying/building/etc mode so I can get done what needs to be done.  While doing so, I came across some things and thought, "hey, I wonder if 4D could do something like that" and so, here I am.

Thoughts of new skills:

Mages:
Redirect blast (effective when fighting other mages)
Exhaustion (cast this on a character that has to use stamina for their skills - I think there are a few of those - and wear down their stamina quicker.
Web (kind of like snare for magic users - just a little stickier)

Warriors:
Iron grip (harder to disarm - though I'm not sure how often players actually get disarmed in the game).
Whirlwind attack ( or perhaps a better name if someone comes up with one - splits damage across all enemies in the room - or do we have something like this and I don't know it?)

Another thing that would be interesting would be to have damage reduction against certain materials - like fey creatures (faeries, leprechauns, etc) for instance should be harder to hit, unless you're hitting them with a cold iron, skeletons should have a dr against anything other than bashing weapons, etc.

What's everyone thoughts on this and any other ideas?

From typo file (then I put it into the bug file):
With the farms around Yorke, sometimes all of the bugs/pests are killed but they still somehow eat all the stuff.  I'm sure it's part of the script, but I can't see where it's failing so someone else has to look at it.

Please fix the snare skill.  Multiple people have told me it is useless now.

Thank you.

From typo file, Kalana notes:
When trying to put a golem into a container, despite it being undoable, it says "You can't do this to Golem's!" when I can't think of a reason why that apostrophe would be there in this case.

If it's a script thing, I need someone to look at whatever script that would be. Golems have too many.

When digging in a forest area, you get the message:
You seem to be hitting alot of roots when you dig.

alot needs to be changed to a lot

Thank you.

I seem to remember that part of the reason Boba's were done away with was because the last ones we had there was some sort of bad name calling campaign going on to try to get a boba.  But, if you want here are the boba's we've had.  It looks as though we'd already combined some for the last go around - hence, the white heart.  I also believe the Best Sprout was only given out once.  If you were going to combine/get rid of any of these, which would you do?

The Bleeding Heart                       
The Bleeding Heart - a Boba award for the most kind, caring and helpful player
in 4 Dimensions.  It is represented by this pewter peice, a small statuette of a
man with his arms placed gently over his heart, surrounded by a semi-transparent
crystal in the shape of a red cracked heart.  On the base of the statuette is a
small etched plaque.

The White Flame                         
The White Flame - a Boba award for the most valiant, honorable and heroic player
in 4 Dimensions.  It is represented by this pewter peice, a small statuette of a
man with his arms out in front of his body, surrounded by semi-transparent white
crystal in the shape of a flame.  It emits light from an unknown source - said
to be the fire of kindness from the soul of it's holder.  On the base of the
statuette is a small etched plaque.
 
The Sage                               
The Sage - a Boba award for the most wise, knowledgable, and quest skilled
player in 4 Dimensions.  It is represented by this pewter peice, a small
statuette of a man with one hand on his chin, surrounded in a semi-transparent
crystal in the shape of an owl.  On the base of the statuette is a small etched
plaque.

 The Dark Horse                         
The Dark Horse - a Boba award for the most relentless, up and coming, and
imporoved player in 4 Dimensions.  It is represented by this peuter peice, a
small statuette of a man with his arms sternly at his sides, surrounded by a
semi-transparent crystal in the shape of a horse's head.  On the base of the
statuette is a small etched plaque.

 The Alabastor                           
The Alabastor - a Boba award for the most cheerful, humorous and good natured
player in 4 Dimensions.  It is represented by this pewter peice, a small
statuette of our good friend Alabastor, tragically lost on Sunday, November 20th
2005, surrounded by a semi-transparent crystal in the shape of a cheesy jester
hat.  On the base of the statuette is a small etched plaque, and underneath that
are the words, 'Kelly McGrath, aka Alabastor, you will be missed'.

The White Heart                         
The White Heart is a semi-translucent pearl within which is held a pewter
figurine of a man with his hands placed gently over his heart, represented by a
shining diamond in the shape of the perfect heart.  On the base of the statue is
a small etched plaque. 

 The Best Sprout                         
The Best Sprout - a boba award given to the best new player (not an alt of an
older player).  It is represented here by a semi-translucent green crystal
in the shape of a small, leafy plant, within which is a figure of a man that
stands with his arms extended above his head as if trying to grow even taller.
On the base of the figure is a small etched plaque.

If I wanted the BBV without fighting for it, I would just challenge the person when I know they are busy or away. If they are gone long enough, I get the BBV. If they are here, well alright I fight and lose. No skin off my back. That is why I think if the wearer refuses the challenges or fails to accept the challenge, the BBV should just auto load to some specific place, like the Excalibur.

Hmm - didn't think about that.
However, let's say ot loads on some altar somewhere, where anyone can get it.

What's to stop this dishonourable challenger from just running there and get it as soon as it is forfeited?
He might have to race some others for it, but since he's prepared, he'd stand a much larger chance of beating them to it. Hell - he could even be standing beside the altar, when he makes his challenge.

We've got to figure out some better way och dealing with the AFK prblem.
Suggestions anyone?

Yeah, if you have the BBV, don't go AFK, log out instead so you can't be challanged for it.  If you go AFK, you risk losing it due to a challange when you're gone.

Also, not fond of the "can't turn off bbv challange channel" as I'm already mega spammed with the "can't turn off deed channel" messages - though not as much as before as it doesn't seem to be as popular now as it was when it started.  It's hard for me to hold a conversation with someone when I have to keep scrolling up to see if I missed anything through massive spam.  Or to restring/build/etc.

Erm... it seems this has been taken out just when I was about to attempt to use it.  Am looking in to see what's going on with it, but currently there is no choice R under redit.

I've been quite a bit lax in doing typos, please forgive me and don't whip me with that wet noodle...  Over time I'll try to catch up by working the file backwards, but don't expect I'll get both ends met.  If you find a typo please report it.
Here are the recent fixes:

Sun           - Jan 12 -  3010 : In help file 65, "/s on a new line to safe what you have written" replace 'saf
e' with 'save'
Sun           - Jan 12 - 17560 : On the Death Star, in the Information Center, last sentence "Although if your
try..." should be "Although if you try..."
Sun           - Jan 12 -  3109 : In 20w San Francisco Harbour, "Unfortunately many of the ships never read thei
r intended destination." should be "...reach their intended destination."
Sun           - Jan 12 - 38322 : In the Space Port turbo lift level 4, 'say map' indicates that the Esper Guild
 is to the east.  It should be Docking Bay 11.
Sun           - Jan 12 - 38347 : The room description for Space Port Docking Bay 17 says that it's the bay for
The Explorer (Titanic).  This Bay should be destination not yet determined.  The Explorer docks at Docking Bay 7.

Doesn't the return 0 stop the wand from being dropped in the first place which brings Hayato's question back, why the two lines?  Or am I wrong on the reason for the retun 0?

A clarification on the "only 15 perz limit" rule has been added.  It is NOT a free perz if you are exchanging perzs instead of creating a new one.  You must pay 3 silver for it and you still have to hand over the item you want perz.  You will not be reimbursed the item you had perzed earlier.  If you want that item, you'll have to go get it again.

Class change has also been taken out due to abuse, or at least the potential for abuse.  Also, Race change will require you to remove your full set of eq before the change is made, so be prepared with bags/boxes and whatnots.  If yer not naked, we're not changin' ya!
