Jistuma 1995 Rep Farm Share Posted May 30, 2022 ━━━━━━━━┛ ✠ ┗━━━━━━━━ AVIARY UPDATE JUNE 2022 ━━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━ Hello people! Finally it has come! The bird/aviary plugin is done and finally will be added to LOTC! So, what is the aviary plugin? Basically it’s a way to send letters to other players with a plugin instead of using /msg. How does it work? There will now be Aviaries on major cities and other spots on the map. All you have to do is go into an aviary with a note (piece of paper where you write with /notes write) and type /aviary send [McName], then select the persona from the list. A bird then flies off with the letter! After a few minutes (2 to 5 mins, based on where you are on the map), the other player receives a message saying he has received a letter, and has to go to another aviary and type /aviary mail to receive the mail! Be careful that the birds can be killed while flying away, and your note will fall from the dead bird. How do I get one? A nation capital, nation subregion, lair, mercenary camp, or independent settlement may get an aviary. The PRO must /modreq to have one created. You will also need to have the aviary build ready before the Moderator sets it up. Make sure aviaries conform to build standards and have exits for the birds. Aviaries will also be located at the four travel hubs and Cloud Temple. Using /msg as a birds is not allowed anymore? That is correct, any roleplay messages have to be sent through this plugin. No more meta birds! When you need help/aid immediately, you will not be allowed to use /msg to contact other characters. Anything related to roleplay will have to be communicated through this plugin. There will be a 5 day grace period to allow Aviaries to be set up. The following rules will be in effect Monday, June 6 at 12:00pm noon EST: Quote Roleplay rules: In-game private messages (/msg) are considered out-of-character (except where explicitly permitted for magic/lore). To send messages via birds, you may write and sign a message on paper with /notes and send it from an aviary with /aviary. Birds in-flight may be shot down with arrows. If you successfully shoot down a bird you must emote the action and collection of the letter (in either #rp or #s). Combat rules: Messages may only be sent from aviaries following three emotes. Aviaries? Aviaries are buildings where you will be able to send birds. They have to be built so that the birds can leave, and in positions where after leaving, the bird can still be killed. Wait, I can kill the bird? Of course, you can kill the bird and it will drop the letter it was carrying. The bird has 1HP so it’s very easy to kill. Also, the birds have to be able to leave the aviary for the letter to be sent, you can’t block the bird exits of the aviary in a way to stop the bird from being killed, it will not work. When you kill a bird and pick up it’s message, you have to emote it in #rp or #s. Because of limitations, the bird disappears after a while. Spamming mail? Yes! But you also aren’t allowed to break other rules with this plugin. Annoying another player with multiple letters over and over again is not allowed. In other words, don’t spam mail on a player to annoy them. It’s also a bit hard to do it, because you can only send one letter every 2-5 mins. What else do I need to know? Just that, in aviaries type /aviary send [MCname] and select the persona with a note in hand to send mail, and /aviary mail, to receive your mail. Also, moderators can know what note you sent, and when you sent it, and to who, so don’t abuse it! What is this used for? Besides removing meta birds, it allows for messages to be sent to offline players, and allows for new ways of roleplaying. Newsletters, special authorizations, love letters (while mods can know who sent the letter, the player does not), reports, etc. Plugin made by Jistuma Post made by Jistuma Please send all your hate mail to Jistuma For feedback and questions, send a letter to Jistuma, it will be answered in 1 to 5 work days If you find any bugs, please contact the nearest authorities (Triage Team via /treq, our issue tracker, or Jistuma) Want to know more about upcoming projects?

NotEvilAtAll 9927 Share Posted June 1, 2022 So are birds in flight represented with a parrot or what? Also, if the birds have to physically fly all the way over to their destination, will there be any rules against camping birds? Like, could you just sit in a common pathway for birds to travel between two popular aviaries and snipe every single message that is sent? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
