I just think it would be nice to have the option of being able to have all your notes saved on the server side so you dont ever have to worry about losing it. I just really dislike having to have multiple different programs, then having to swap between screens
Hmm, I don't even know if this is possible, so I am passing the question on to whoever might know, (which probably means Thotter or Mordecai):
Would it be possible to store individual notepad journals made by the players on our server, so that they they can access them from any computer?
I know it can be done on a Mud client, but the client wouldn't be available if they wanted to play from an extra laptop or i-phone.
Apart from that, I still think that it would be a lot easier to use a separate window for making notes, instead of being constantly disturbed and spammed out of the screen in the game window. Easier to write too, no need to use funky commands like /s, /r 'whatever' 'whichever' etc.
A journal if it contained quest information generated via scripts would be amazing. A journal just to write on as a notepad ingame is a silly idea.
I might be willing to work on a scripted Quest journal along the lines I sketched in my post on the other thread;
http://4dimensions.org/forum/index.php/topic,682.msg5049.html#msg5049 provided that someone else helps out, in particular with the quests in zones that I didn't build, (and I guess that means Kvetch or Diandra, since I don't really imagine anyone else would volunteer).
Setting up the all the scripts for that journal involves a shitload of work, and I am not just motivated to sift through scripts made by others to figure out how the quest flags on those are set.
In any case this would be a long time job, so don't get your hopes up too much.
I'm still not convinced that it would be worth the effort.
Except possibly for the last part, which would enable a player to erase their own flags, to start a quest from the beginning again, if it got messed up. A script like that would only be necessary for the multistep quests, meaning a limited number.
