Hi,

I'm currently in the 3/4 of fixing the equipment code for Manaserv. So, a little question on how I should achieve this:

Currently, a script can be triggered when equipping/unequipping an item. The return state of that script has no effect on equipping,
but I could take it into account, just like if the script execution returns false, the equip action aborts.
The drawback I see to such a way is that the maintainer should have an extra care about not applying any effects before making sure all the prerequisites are reached in his/her equip script.
But apart from that, it seems viable to me.

What do you think?

Sounds like a great idea to me. When you are already on it, a similar feature for unequipping could also be added so that certain equipment can not be removed under certain conditions (like cursed items).

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

@Len: This tileset is awesome, however I would give you some personal ideas and comments to improve it.
1) I think the shadows of the trees still need imrpovement, they do look good but they are too grey, they overlap a bit everything, just take a tree and behind it, add a wall, you'll see what I'm talking about.
2) I think that the water/pond could be improved in many ways... maybe add some moving little waves or a floating bath duck (lol).
3) I think that the big cactus also needs a shadow.
4) Imho, all the tilesets lack fourniture, in overall. I would really like to see a tileset that includes your work, which is the water, the grass, the ground, the flowers, the skulls, the cactus, the trees, etc... on the same tileset, with a transparent backround so that we can test it on our local server.

Thanks a lot for that awesome job Len, keep it up.

Best regards,

It would have been my second question. :) Ok, I'll got that way.

1: I'll play around with it

2: Actually the set does have moving water (not sure if I would use it on a pond, its really more for rivers).

Still a could have small ripples appear every now and then like a small bug just fell into a still pond.

3: Its from TMW so its temporary

4: I didn't make the cacti I think Neoriceisgod or VxD did (I need to find out and make a tag). Wouldn't one set be a little much to work with?

I've been attempting to create a building from old assets, but it looks like I'm going to need to stop dicking around and just make it from scratch (I've felt to so drained as of late). :?
