Doesn't need to change any stats or have any affect. Only for appearance. Unless someone can come up with a effect?

Would you listen to it? Im curious as to whether a Eternal-Lands community run internet radio station would be used and how many people would use it? Please submit your interest in this thread. The EL-Radio would be based on the current EL Music soundtracks (providing permission is approved from the artists) and will tie into alot of the game's content. Features such as the following could be implimented: Invasion Warning: (metadata scrolling detailing the current invasion, where & how many creatures left) and while this is in play battle music sound tracks could be played. Market Commercials: (metadata ascrolling detailing prices of items and who's selling what) or be played through audio as a proper radio commercial. Guild Commercials: Guilds are already doing short video's for recruitment and advertisement of their guilds, a radio commercial could do just the same played in-between songs. The radio could be community driven, supported by donations of in-game gc and real $ if applicable. Commercials could even be created using AT&T labs TTS demo. What are your opinions? do you have any ideas or feedback? Edit: Special day announcements, new hour announcements. Alot of these features are already in-game I know.

Unfortunately with the smallest bitrate of 24 it would not allow dialup users to listen to the radio aswell as play the game. It would get boring running the same songs over and over again. Would this be better as a podcast then a internet radio?

if i get more interest, sure!

I propose Bot Owners should participate in a joint project to help reolsve this issue. After finding out that any sort of work around to the buddy list limit would result in server spam or would be classed as abuse and thus would get banned I thought of some other ideas. One of which was using Proxies. This doesn't sit very well on the conscience for me and probably will cause Entropy and Devs grief and also waste their time tracking who was using them. But its not needed if we help each other out by having multiple bots to track the online status of players. Supposedly the minimum interval for downloading the Online Players list from Entropys site is 5 Minutes. If we had several bots grabbing the list every 5 Minutes at different intervals and uploading it to a central site so that all bots may access it we would have a more up to date list of online players. This could be acoomplished by knowing which bots will get the Online List at what time. Since we live in all different countrys the EL game time would be a nice central time to base this off. The Bot would download the online player list and send it to a central server. Included in the list would be a date and time stamp of the HTML file from Entropy's site. So that you wouldn't need to send the list if it was the same date and time for some reason. Other bots could grab this list from a central server more frequently and do the same. Im not sure if ive explained it correctly but if we had 2 bots doing this then we'd have a online players list 2 and a half minutes up to date, if we had 4 then we'd have a online list just over a minute up to date. Is there any interest for this? Edit: Forgot to mention you can use the online player list ot check what buddies are online. Its obviousl though. Edit2: The fact that we might end up going to this much effor to get around this problem might motivate the developers to fix the problem =)

Anyone else having problems setting yellow and having the color actually been white?

Would there be anyway to get guilds to support globally neutral guilds, like small guilds that dont neccisarily pk?, for example NUFC & new =D

What are bot names for ^v^ HC DIE etc... are there pk lists on their bots or elsewhere?

That is good of you, however there are many sites and bots now using the Online player list, if we could get everybodys attention to use a mirror then that would take even more load off the server. Additionally entropy might be planning to move the list to the EL webserver.

Why 13?

This is probably a offer for more experienced players, as newbies need as much iron ore they can get to make essence with. Additionally I thought there would of been food and healing provided. Perhaps this would be more attractive offer

Wow, alot of people would benefit from watching big fights in public. Perhaps a challenge like this or not so 'in-the-air' but one that is destined to go ahead could be advertised by a moderator. People could go watch then.

Well you should first get your bot connecting and holding a stable connection on the test server before considering what to make your bot do. Perhaps after you've done this you can then ask this question

It all depends on what you make it do, the Corpis bot is a guard bot for the CO hideout. There are other hideouts that have guard bots that do the same thing. You can make your bot return attacks or make it initiate the attacks by walking up to the player and sending attack. I haven't seen any guard bots out in the open on player maps though.

I have been writting my bot in RealBasic, its a cross platform language that most people can easily understand. I hope to release the code after ive finished and produce a stripped down version of it for people to use. This means not having to use cygwin or setting up some scripting language.

Finding a solution for the time been would be better then nothing.

How are you getting player online / offline status? just via when they login to your site?

Something MAY happen in august =D

I messaged entropy about this and he said that was the idea, but hasn't had the time to do it. Ive made a simple php script that strips the online player list to just a txt file names delimited by space. Hopefully he will reply again =D

Sorry misread, thought you were saying (http://eternal-lands.solexine.fr/~radu/view_user.php?user=) gets player online status. But you were talking about stripping css & anchors from the online player list to reduce its size.

That page doesn't tell whether a user is online or not. And using the online players list would be more smaller in size. Im suprised nobody is annoyed about the limit of the buddy list. How are you's coping with it or how are you's getting around it?

Nice one and before you start using it you grab the online player list so that you have the current set.

If you are still killing items ill take 1000 Beaver fur or as much as you can get.
