I literally just posted an idea for this and noticed this thread below it, and decided to check it out to make sure I didn't post a duplicate. You might want to check it out. :) Suggestion for the new Sensor Block I like this idea, but Malacodor is right. You can just put a not block on...

Briefly: I love the new sensor blocks, and I can see myself making all sorts of cool creations from them. However, one simple modification would increase their usefulness quite a bit, I think. How about we allow them to sense when an "empty" state is achieved? For example, when a storage is...

That is one creepy looking picture NaStral. lol

Melvin is proud to present.. Lojack 5000. It's your space age solution to lost ships, hijacked ships, or ships that have run amok. For the mere price of 20 million credits per 100k mass, Melvin will place a secret Lojack device on your ship. It's so small, you can't even see it. It stays...

Even better. :)

Well, him and I are both admins of the server. He likes to go visit people from time to time, and I enjoy some admin abuse. So if you can catch him unawares when he has forgotten to turn on god mode, have a blast. You can lure him into a trap if you'd like. "Help, I am stuck in a planet...

There are also bounties posted on the LvD forums. Once I get my scripting up and running again, as I just got back from vacation, I'll be adding a "!bounty" command in game for people to post. But for now, you should totally collect on the NaStral bounty. lol

I might take you up on this. What sort of rates might you charge?

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation Erth. You've been a big help. :) I figured I'd wait until I had a good amount of back-end scripting set up anyhow before I even attempted this sort of thing. I know I can run a tail off the log file and then parse that, but I was worried...

I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to here. Is it so players can type something like "!info" while at spawn, and it might set off logic at the base? Or do you mean where a player could hit a button, and then a script starts sending server messages to the player, to provide info? Or...

I like the idea of comms. I can think of some scripting right now that I could use to grab a player's location and then they might use the "!shout" command to send a message to individual players that are within a few sectors of them. Though I think I'd still prefer to only allow trades to be...

Well then, fun stuff. Thanks for the post Chicken. Very late to the game, but still good none-the-less. Also thank you Piano and Nuclear for publicly admitting your part in things. And thank you ErthParadine for chiming in as well. Maybe everyone can chill the heck out now and cut out the...

Sure, why not. We encourage this kind of thing. Roleplaying, PVP, videos, these are all things that help enrich the experience of players, so we are all for it. We record our own videos from time to time and have a storyline up to keep everyone in the loop about the happenings on the server...

It seems to give errors for technical things, like if a player is offline or an invalid item is specified. That's good, but ultimately what my scripts need to know if the script was successful in removing items. Once I can see that, then it will open up a lot of doors for me and our server.

Being able to create a virtual backpack in game might be cool, though I'd rather have the ability to store custom variables, which would utilize the built in HSQL for the server. Then the devs could probably provide the framework for a "virtual backpack" as an example of what it could be used...

That's a good way to do it. My focus right now actually isn't trading though. That was just an example of a script that would be possible if the "/giveid" command actually gave some kind of input about whether it was successful or not. Alternatively, there could be other commands to...

Preface: There are a lot of nice commands for scripters like me to use, but some small changes and moderate additions would really open a lot of doors for server-owners to have creative, dynamic gameplay. The framework is there, it just needs to be filled out a little bit more. Here is my...

The dark is in a deep hibernation at the moment, but soon.. Soon.. The Super Shredder will be born. The minions will be rallied. And chaos will reign once more.

Le drama. One thing about mistakes is that they can be corrected. But just to make a quick note here.. The admin team is actually well aware of the superiority of the Vaygr and Mortarian fleets and has actively been working to help the light side become more coordinated and effective, seeking...

I do, but it still makes the update process much slower. Also, I have noticed that many server operators are not as savvy as you and I might be with scripting. This is meant to solve a broad problem. How many games have you played where the settings auto-adjust for quality based on the specs...
