New Palace Planet Server Template

[maarten]

What do you think a Palace server template should have?

Right now I'm working on a Palace Server template and looking for good ideas, anyone?

[Finna]

I know I am just saying basic stuff here but a return room and a well set up template room for duping is two things I would put in

[maarten]

A return room? Return from what?

What would you put in a template room? the one I was working on has a basic offer/accept script but I think its missing something.

Windows pc servers are what I have in mind for the first template.

by the way there is a version of the template I worked on available for download on this site. See downloads / server templates.

ok a return room is for reentering a room so you are on top, works alot like the come here when you say it outloud but it actully has a set room and can be scripted into the globals, as far as what I would put on in a template room is the globals, a lock and at least one door set with arrows or what ever pic you are using for going to the next room. I know all that is basic but so many seem to need the basics when they start building

[maarten]

funny never thought about making a room with script for that purpose but I guess we all know how usefull it can be.

In the template I had actually split up a few of these features into different rooms but your probly right its a good idea to put it into a room template.

Ok now for the practical question: got any scripts for this? I'm afraid that this is a 6 year old plan that I'm finally putting into practice and starting to find out I have 6 year old information to do so :)

The plan is to make a server template with template rooms that have a user and owner link, one explaining how to use the scripts as user, the other explaining how to operate or modify them as owner.

So any help with scripts is appreciated, thanks for your suggestions, your a handy person to have around :)

ok don't know if this will help as its part of the gate scripting I use but will gladly share it with you. (also will put in the offer scripting I have)

; return (rapid exit and return to same room, available in all rooms)
returnToRm GLOBAL returnRm GLOBAL
{
{ roomID returnRm = 1002 GoToRoom } ChatStr "return" == IF
} returnToRm Def


room globals for these two

ON INCHAT {
offerInScript GLOBAL offerInScript EXEC
}

ON OUTCHAT {
offerOutScript GLOBAL offerOutScript EXEC
returnToRm GLOBAL returnRm GLOBAL returnToRm EXEC
}

now this part in the return room

oh if you would like the entire gate scripting I use just let me know

[MoonShine]

better late then never??
offer etc as allscray is obsolete if the server is hosted or on Unix based comp at home--plugall is server side NOT client side as allscray is and ergo is safer and it has lots of things that one can do that used to need allscray---
I have like umpteen globals in my gate script --however do not have the return which is basically for subs but my script in an altered form is what is avalable on Alan's stuff--he liked mine so well he asked to use it --he dint use it all but lots of it--available if needed--I have like 4 templates and they use the all room script that ties into the gate globals-available also LOLOL same goes for the bot bear but an owner would need to know enuff scripting to adapt it to fit!!

Right, my first goals is however to make something for Windows / Mac users because I don't think newcomers should waste money on Palace :)

Alans stuff as in this:

Didn't get the other stuff about liking globals and 4 templates using all rooms?!?! Mushrooms? Maybe you can give us some examples here?
you mean you have 4 room templates or 4 server templates? My goal was to build a server template for newcomers with all the basic stuff build in.
