Couple Questions
Heya guys, Sorry if this isent the right place to post this but in a few days im going to try and run me a server from my desktop. Would it be possible to flag idividual people for expansions while keeping them locked for the people who havent killed previous raid bosses? How hard would it be to zone lock everything but classic?
The general idea of the server i want to make is a Personal Progression Server, Which basically lets u unlock the content at your own pace and not when the majority of players want to. Like say i have killed Phinny, Vox, Naggy and have unlocked Kunark expansion flag, i would be the only person able to zone into Kunark zones until someone else has done all the classic content and got there flag, is this possible? Sorry if im not being clear enough, Thanks in advance. |
You can control zone access with Globals. When a raid beats a raid boss you have an npc spawn that, when hailed, gives players a global that flags them for the next raid zone.
This is how live accomplished it, also known as flags. |
How would that work for flagging a whole expansion? In classic EQ u need to defeat 3 raid bosses (Vox, Naggy and Phinny) to unlock kunark. Maybe spawn 3 NPCs off those raid mobs that credit you on a main NPC in pok that will then flag you for the entire next expansion? Unless there is a way to make a code thats like "Required flags for Kunark 3/3 Naggy, Vox, Phinny" I cant do kill naggy get flag to XX Kunark zone I would have to make the whole expansion unlock at the same time at the time u kill the last raid boss on your list.
Im clueless to how this works but i want to have a soloable or solo + bots progression server. i want zones to be unlocked per toon not per server. |

Bill, Bob, and Brad all kill Naggy, they get Flag 1. They go to PoK and hail FlagDude, he says you have Flag 1 but not Flag 2 or 3. Bill, Bob, and Brad all kill Vox, they get Flag 2. They go to PoK and hail FlagDude, he says you have Flag 1 and Flag 2, but not Flag 3. Only Bill and Bob kill Phinny, they get Flag 3, Brad doesn't. So now when Bill and Bob hail FlagDude in PoK he grants them a new flag, say Flag A. Flag A grants access to all Kunark zones and the cycle starts over. In the Zone table you just set the flag_required field to A and that stops non-progressed players from entering Kunark. |
Very nice thanks for dumbing it down for me =P
