Why are you making mods to MB instead of joining the dev team and working on the bleeding edge, Aineko?  :-)

good question.

first of all, I didn\'t make the mods it just now. I only publish them now. I wrote them several months earlier.
In addition, it helps to overcome the time untill CB :)

I\'m familiar with the MB code now. Probably the only person that still is :)

Do you need another mod for MB? I think it still takes 1 months or more untill CB.

I will code for CB, once it\'s released.

But let me ask you a queation as well. Will PS release / update more often in the future?
Open source is told to release early and often (I read that somewhere). I don\'t say that you have to release a complete new version (like CB) every few weeks. But a little mod, a new item, a piece of map, another quest or so would be nice and keeps the interest of the players. A lot of them are waiting for CB and don\'t play MB anymore.

Releasing/updating often really depends on the amount of our free time, and what amount of hard work we\'re willing to stress over.  ;)  If the above modding is an indication of your skill, then you should be working with us.  The invitation to apply has been extended (more than once), so why not?  Help us release/update more often.  CB should be easier to update with new content than MB was.

(P.S.- Welcome to the forums.  It\'s about time you got here.  :) )

Aineko, there is a bug in the item giving logic somewhere in MB and I\'m sure the entire community would worship you if you fixed it. :-)

oh, darn, I though it was in -rMB010 but it was in -rMB :D

But where is the /buddy give code?

I compiled the server and when I /buddy give it says there is no player called \"give\" o.O

!! BUG ! BUG ! BUG !!

I found a bug. It let PS crash on WinXP when you typed \"/talkto\"

Golmir hasn\'t updated the mirror yet. so you have to use the slow one:

Source: http://www.freewebs.com/aineko/planeshift-src.rar
Binary: http://www.freewebs.com/aineko/planeshift-bin.rar

File: planeshift\\src\\client\\aws\\pscommwindow.cpp
-----------------------------------------------
360 else if ( !strncmp(buff+1, \"talkto\", 6))
361 {
362 useTalkto = false;
 !>
 !> delete[] buff;
 !> return NULL;
 !>
363 }

I just started using a Dvorak keyboard... is there any way you could help give me a way to rebind all my keys?  The functions that most things are bound to are now all out of place......  Thank you for looking at the idea
