Credit Shops

[dspain]

credit shops are something a sysop can use to exchange BBS credits for particular services/items.

how the users get these credits will be up to you, games that gamble, real money exchanges, quest rewards in game, however you so choose to give them out.

there is a new database called ARCARNCS.DAT that can be edited via a sysop command called 'SHOPEDIT' this command only edits the credit shop database.

within this database each class has space for 4 weapons and 4 armors.

non promoted gets a slot, promoted gets a slot, double promoted gets a slot, and max level which is level 30 double promoted gets a slot.

here you can link already created items to each slot that each character can purchase using credits.

example of this is:

im a warrior i type 'CREDITSHOP'

1) WEAPONS
2) ARMORS
3) SERVICES

1 for wepaons

Weapon COST
=================== =========
1) golden spear 1,000
2) golden battleaxe 2,000
3) golden scimitar 3,000
4) golden claymore 5,000

weapons are numbered 1-4

to get #1 you clearly just have to be a warrior

#2 - you have to be promoted
#3 - you have to be double promoted
#4 - you have to be level 30 double promotion

when purchasing it deducts bbs credits.

under the services you can purchase higher blesses and life saves.

a life save is sort of like a soulstone except when you die you are instantly restored to full life/mana, and you never leave the room.


for those hardcore sysops that dont like change, dont worry credit shops can be disabled/enabled via LEVEL4 config.

the credit shop, guild system, and new pvp system are all choises you can use them or not.

what happens when the person wants to upgrade to the next credit item? can he sell the first one for credits back or what?

Also, what'll happen if the person die's? will he still keep the special item or will he lose it?

just a few questions...

absolutely, it wont let you purchase another with one equipped it will say you have to exchange it first. it exchanges at a % rate, i have it set at 50% but you could clearly set it at 100% to do an exact exchange.

Sorry, but you must first exchange your golden spear before you can purchase another.


if the golden claymore is 5k ...

You exchange your golden claymore for 2500 credits.

You purchase a golden claymore for 5000 credits.


these items cannot be unequipped and when you die it is gone.

Good stuff, but not that alot are Not willing to change with todays market, prolly over 90% of the boards running are totally free, nobody wants to pay anymore, but it good the it can be disabled... looking good from what i have been reading so far! (still need a sysop DAN command or something like it to pick out the hacked boards) then they can be reported to Rick or you.

'sys dan' lol good majormud pun

no alot of boards are free, and thats why ya dont charge for monthly access you enable the credit shops for exactly what they are there for, perks.

even facebook apps have real money perks.

problem with sys lance type commands is they are interceptable.

create an auto linking module with a global command called 'sys lance' and have it do prf("command not recognized!\r"); inacr();

now when ya type it it dont show up.

you'll never eliminate hacked boards, and if a system not on my list runs the game illegally ill know about it and take the proper legal action.
but we'll never get rid of it altogether.

i do have a version command though that tells ya the server reg# license count, tele-arena version# and license count.
