Absolutely. Remember that 1.4.2 is a beta build, and unstable enough as it is. As soon as 1.4.4 is a recommended build on Bukkit, we'll update.

Just type the channel's name to focus on it. /rp <- will focus on the talk Roleplay Channel. Are you having a problem with this otherwise?

Sorry, but chainmail and mossy cobble won't be getting their own recipes. Some items need to be obtainable elsehow, right? And sorry to disappoint you further, but leaking out recipes is the last thing I'll do. It spoils the fun of discovery. :)

/roleplay customcolor isn't a command. Try looking at the commands again. Looks to me like you're in /roleplay chatstyle (quotation mode). Type that again to toggle it back to default.

We've updated to the new Chat System (Roleplay Essentials for LotC)! There has been some confusion lately as to how the whole system works. I'm here to clear that up! For in-game commands, type /roleplay Use that command if you need a quick reference, but I recommend reading this completely so you are not left confused. -Joining or Leaving channels- When you start out, you'll notice you are in every channel you have access to. To leave chats like wandering soul or ooc, you'll type. /leave ws /leave ooc If you want to join OOC again, simply type /join ooc -Focusing on Channels- To focus on a channel, simply type it's command without the arguments. Here are some examples. /w /rp /s /looc /ooc /ws Very simple. Every time you talk after this point, you'll talk in that channel. -Temporarily Talking- If you just want to do a quick message in any channel, you must actually be in a channel. Type the commands above, but with an argument. This will not focus you on the chat, but you'll simply message within it. /ooc I'm temporarily talking in OOC. Another form of temporarily talking is by typing with (( That will send a temporary message in Local OOC. -Emotes- Emoting is now better than ever. * will cause you to emote. Within emotes, I've featured some handy features that will make Roleplaying cleaner! Here are some examples of what you can do. If you like quotation marks in your emotes, you might just like what I call a Quotation Chatstyle. I've seen many Roleplayers use this in the past. The problem was that it was hard to distinguish what's being said from what's being emoted. To enable this mode, type /roleplay chatstyle It's almost like chatting with emotes. It will automatically replace any instances of quotation marks with white text, to represent you speaking. Don't go around talking while using this chatstyle unless you plan on actually using quotation marks! (or if you're playing a mute) Typing /roleplay customcolors will default all colors to Yellow for you, as a personal preference. Typing /roleplay chatcolor will change your emote color to whatever you choose. This ONLY applies if you have customcolors on. That pretty much covers everything for the chat update! There will surely be changes to the system in the future, and all feedback is very welcome. OH! And with these new recipes, if you manage to discover any of them, please share them In Character! Even if you're sharing it with a stranger. :) Misc Changelog: -Reimplemented the Knockout plugin with a global switch if needed. -Fixed Soulstones from spamming you with your cancellation. -Disabled exp gain. -Added a Banhammer -Attacked Akorta with the Banhammer -Added craftable Battleaxes -Added craftable longbows -Added three new recipes that are made in bowls. -Added (currently uncraftable) Ales and other kinds of alcohol. -Added prototypes of magic staves. -Added craftable Waybread -Unbanned Akorta

Once we get the system up for good, I'll make a post explaining it. It's very simple, really. To focus on a channel, type a command without any arguments: /rp To type in that channel but not focus on it, type it with a message: /rp "Your mustache looks fantastic!" He says to her. As far as /tell or /msg goes, Essentials currently doesn't support MC names. I'll work on fixing that up next!

We're very close to updating to the new Chat System. All we need now is an easy to access command for talking the Roleplay Chat (32 blocks). Current commands: /w - Whisper /s - Shout /? - Talk /looc - Local Out of Character /ooc - Global Out of Character /ws - Wandering Soul Vote for the command that you think best fits the most basic form of Roleplaying, then we'll have the update shortly. Thanks everyone!

-scribbles this down on the massive TODO list-

I've always disliked applications/requests/tickets, whatever you want to call them to get approval. One of the sub-professions of Blacksmithing will be the ability to engrave titles onto weaponry/amour and a few other materials. Though it will still provide the creator of the item. I'd just continue to Roleplay, you'll find some along the way. The only two items that currently have custom names are Soulstones and Welcoming Cookies (given to newly accepted players). Hey, thanks! I definitely agree. That's something the rest of the staff feels strongly about. We'll stay away from pvp and most parts of combat in general. Swords won't be better than others necesarily, but they'll provide some kind of bonus, like extended durability, unique sounds, or a special effect. It's still a big work in progress. When/if knockout returns, I'll make sure it's optional. We'll definitely also make sure we log every instance of player kills, because no-rp kills are getting out of hand these days!

Hey everyone. It's been almost a month since Reag and I both joined the staff of LotC. I'd like to say we've made some great progress recovering from when we started, but we're still a long way off. I'm going to give you a recap of today's update, to keep you informed. As well as that, I want to share with you some awesome new features new month will bring us! First of all, I've fixed Soulstones Generally bugging out and suffocating people to death. It's not perfect yet, but I can promise you that the Cloud Temple soulstone location will no longer kill you. I do apologize for all the lost items. I've also made instructions a little more clear, and soulstones will be given back to you upon relogging. Though this option will most likely be optional in the future. Secondly, I know many of you have seen and been annoyed by Wandering Souls. This is now fixed. After a week of managing with permission nodes, we finally got this one working. Wandering souls should now stay vanished, and when they're accepted, they'll be granted with a unique cookie! Thirdly, you are all filthy rich. It's no mystery at this point that everyone has permission to granting themselves a million minas! The permissions on that issue have been resolved and all players who abused the command have been banned (I kid, of course). Our fourth major change is related to 1.4's NBT custom name support. I spent roughly 5 hours building a structure to use NBT tags for items without fail. You'll notice the first change with your soulstone. We'll be using this more in the future with professions! Here are a few examples of what we can do with these new tools. You may ask for a custom named item if it's lore related, but PLEASE do not submit a modreq about it. These custom named items will play a huge role in almost every aspect of the game, mostly including our upcoming Professions System! My Plan for Next Month: -Return of the BuddyList! -A Working Economy -New Chat System -Knockout Plugin(This is a maybe) -Professions I cannot wait to get started on these new projects next month. If you have any suggestions, post them here where I will absolutely read them. It's been a pleasure developing plugins for LotC so far. I'm looking forward to November! Thanks for your support everyone!

Tythus for Admin of the Year - 2012!

This is not a glitch. This happens when a player's username contains the person you typed it out to. Example: Players online: -Jim -Josh -John -Thirjo If you were to type /msg jo <msg> It would send to Josh, John, and Thirjo. If you did /msg j It would send to all those players. Make sure you type their full name or this will happen! I'm working on a new Chat System. I'll implement a new messaging system as well, so that should fix those problems, because I personally dislike the confusion it causes.

Edit: This system will continue to have changes until we get it right! NOTE: Your soulstone data has been wiped! You'll need to reset your locations. Sorry! In a previous poll, I gathered your feedback on the soulstone pillars. Today, put together mechanics for having multiple pillars. Controls for Soulstones: /soulstone - Gives you a new soulstone /setsoul - Sets your one custom soulstone location /bindsoul - binds your soulstone to a nearby soulstone pillar Left Click - Teleport to your Selected Soulstone Pillar Right Click - Teleport to your /setsoul location. Sneak+Left or Right Click - Shifts through your soulstone pillar slots. Soulstone Pillars now have names, and when you shift through your pillars with sneak clicking, it will display the name and location of that pillar. The higher rank of a donator you are, the more Soulstone Pillar slots you'll unlock. Edited: VIP Ranks: None - 1 slot VIP10 - 2 slots VIP50 - 3 slots VIP100 - 4 slots VIP300 - 5 slots If these controls seem odd or uncomfortable, post a reply and give me your best feedback! My goal is to make this as smooth as possible! Another thing I'd also like to point out is that you currently do not have multiple /setsoul locations. There is only one. Dgco and I both agreed on this. Sorry if that's a disappointment! Overall Change Log: -Reworked Soulstones and Soulstone Pillars. -Enabled a large variety of sound effects -Lowered the volume on the soulstone sound effect. -Added /sing to a donator rank of $10 -Fixed /msg and /r -Disabled MAGIC and BLACK chat colors in character cards. -Fixed a lot of wandering soul permission issues. -Added my customized handy dandy tools for the staff. -Fixed /name from only gathering information from the first argument. -Banned Iblees and wiped his data from the server. Thank you all again for your patience. I will never stop thanking you for being an awesome, supportive community.
