  1. After 60 years of combat and studying the undead, and over 80 more years training that very form of dark magic, Alethion returns with a strong hate towards the very race he once loved, but ultimately caused him grief. Beware, humans.

      Braxis, this is going to be sad. :(

      Yeah and look how well you managed that.... Last I checked Cataris was still alive and kicking...

    4. Alec

      Alec

      Oh yeah, forgot resurrection is done on a daily basis. I don't mind having Cataris back. If the undead did return, it could be wonderful. :)

  2. The new chat system is being developed. So far so good! Any requests?

      Well thanks for clearing that up. I like the sound of that system, although I think it will take some real getting used to.

      Its broke for me, I cant talk, I hear everyone, And I cant join/leave channels. I dont know why, Native said it could be a perm issue? if so my MC name is Kizumachan if that helps fix it.

    4. Alec

      Alec

      We're not on the new chat system yet. We're still on HeroChat, it was having issues with the update to 1.4. That is fixed now, I think.

  3. Like Akorta said, I'm stepping down. Reag and Tythus are now the only members of the Technical Team.

      and fourthbrook?

    3. Alec

      Alec

      Fourthbrook was put in the group because he coded Knockout which I later on completed/bug fixed. Whether or not he's in the group is no longer decided by me.

  4. Native's beard is much too powerful. It must be thrown into the fiery chasm from whence it came! One of you must do this...

  5. 3 hours of coding just saved over 70 hours of manually accepting players. Thank you, coding.

      Wow, and I thought finding that special someone was hard! Who shall I marry?

  6. I think it's clear I'm getting nothing out of being on the tech team. Hopefully I can move onto greater places. Most likely places that involve less stress. Merry Christmas everyone!

      He talked to me about it. He'd just prefer to do something different. Like, he really wants to try to get into game development and that's quite hard to do when he spends all his freetime fixing LotC

      I don't even have the slightest clue what we'd do without you, Alec. Really and truly.

    4. Alec

      Alec

      You guys will be fine. I will be making my plugins public (not using LotC's custom build), but completely from scratch. Hopefully Tythus ends up plugging those in once I get them out there. I'll still hang around, but hardly.

  7. Made the best mod for minecraft: Enderpearls now explode before you teleport to them, zombies move 4x faster, explode when they hit sunlight, and chickens explode when they mate. Cows also have the AI of creepers. This is too much fun!

  8. I'm so excited about the new Lotc Plugin! I've just about finished the structure of how the plugin system works. Telanir has done an incredible job with the Nexus-Core! Seeing as we're building /most/ things from the ground up, I'm moving onto getting the roleplay features such as chat and emotes coded. If you have any suggestions or anything specific you want, throw it my way in a message and I'll see if we can get it added.

      Sala and Hiebe, Exactly what Nug said. Use /roleplay and read the Chat Color commands. I know the interface is a freaking mess right now, but soon that'll be behind us.

    3. Alec

      Alec

      Oh and Hiebe, don't worry, you'll be able to see things in Classic LotC style in this new version. Also, interesting idea... I will pass it along.

    4. Hiebe

      Hiebe

      Gold nugget currency, maybe a custom shop plugin just for us? Magic and professions for sure atm for me. ned that before 4.0

  9. All these fancy animated GIF avatars caused me to make one. So here we go...

  10. Character Card Plugin is 99% complete. The other 1% I'll assume are lingering bugs yet to be squashed! Normal players will get 3 card slots. Donators will get 4. Hopefully we can update this soon!

      Thank you!

  11. I'm tired of seeing complaints regarding the recent promotions. We've made our decision. For anyone who may have complaints towards any of our decisions, PLEASE bring it up in a respectful, constructive way. No, it may not change the final decision, but we'll at least listen. Not all promotions in staff have been a good move in the past, but this, I can assure you, is a good move.

      @Maru, I can relate to your disagreement. It's beyond frustrating. I was in the same situation when a few rotten GMs entered the team last year. No matter what, there will be disagreement. I'm sorry it has to be you to be disagreeing. Fact is, we should always leave a little room for doubt, because maybe you're right. I'm encouraging you to not have so much doubt that you'd be too stubborn from changing. I did that, and ended up looking like a fool.

    3. Alec

      Alec

      @Cyndikate, who said we won't do anything about it? I personally listen because I care. Complaining on the other hand hinders listening, and so far, all I've heard is complaining with no specifics as to why the complaints are made.

    4. Alec

      Alec

      @goldeagle, Definitely. It can be risky, but if we don't actually experiment and explore our options, we're going nowhere. I know what you mean by that, and it's alright. I want to make my point clear, because every time there's a promotion/demotion in any part of the staff, there are complaints. Of course, this will never change. :P

      I couldn't have said it better than Rhia. Give it some time!

  12. Without Native on the team, I feel like I'm tackling this alone. I'm scared for the server.

      It just leaves a lot of open doors for what we can do and instead of holding us back, in a way it will move us forward. I just am really sad about inventories.

    4. Alec

      Alec

      I totally understand how you feel about that, Fireh. Unfortunately we lost everything, though we did need to rewipe the character card list, as well as fix up a lot of things anyway. It really did help us in the long run, I suppose. We are making absolute positive that several of us on the team will make backups very frequently.

      Just a thought, a good idea would be to have a (...) chat bubble over the person's head when they have their chat menu pulled up so you know they'er syaing something ornot. That way you cant say " I was typing when you killed me"

    4. Alec

      Alec

      Thanks guys. I'd like to see the More Player Models version. I hope it's compatible and optional, because it's a great mod. Arik, that's genius. I'll definitely try to make that one happen.

  23. It's just about finished. Now all I need is the Bukkit implementation and I'm done! http://screenshu.com/static/uploads/temporary/z7/me/i4/y9faf9.jpg

      How do the emotes work in it?

    3. Alec

      Alec

      How it works is, it sends messages from Roleplay Essentials chat. So when a player talks, it shows a green bubble. If they should, it shows the red one. If they whisper, it's a softer blue bubble.

      The emotes will only show up in the chatbox, as well as several other messages.

      As well as that, the example on the right shows that player has their chatbox open.
