Code: Ships / Moving Exits
Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 at 7:33 pm
Ship code have been completely redone. Although the ships themselves have the same schedule, there have been several improvements that you will notice.
  • A ship arriving in Highport now only tells you so if you are in Highport. You will no longer see the "The Seawolf arrives in Highport." if you're deep in the Firedrake Mines. This cuts down on the spam you get from ships, which allows us to add more ships with very little spam.

  • A new command "shipquery" has been added to let you know where any of the chartered ships are.
    : ship
Location of Chartered Ships:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The Seawolf               Docked at Highport.
                            Will depart for Drakken Port in 2 hours.
  The Airship Challenger    Docked at Kab'Tung Oasis.
                            Will depart for Gnomebarrow in 4 hours.
  The Ironclad              Docked at Breakwater Point.
                            Will depart for Highport in 4 hours.
  The Gilded Edge           Docked at An'honi Island.
                            Will depart for Highport in 2 hours.
:
  • Ships also announce to a room when they've arrived. This will be most useful for small ships who don't give a global-announcement.
    : The Gilded Edge casts its lines onto the pier.

Many of the improvements are behind-the-scenes. For example, before we were forced to make all ships go in a 24 hour cycle, but now we're not required to. Before, ships were updated by the hour, now they're updated by the minute. Small ships are now a lot easier to make, so hopefully we will be adding more of them soon.

Drakken Port has built a new ship named the Stormrunner. It is a merchant ship that will make runs to An'honi Island from Drakken Port. It docks just northeast of the Seawolf.
