Heya, all...

There's an important change to droids that you need to be ready for in Publish 8.


The Droid radial menus have been reworked a bit so they don't get out of control.


The new "Droid Options" radial menu will now include things like:


  • Recharge

  • Store

  • Open Item Storage

  • etc.

I don't have the full exact list but I'm sure that will get put up over time. The main point here is to be aware of the addition of the Droid Options menu and the fact that some key droid commands and functions will now be 'nested' within that menu.


...more to come when I have more...

Does this mean that perhaps the item storage will work in the Surgical droids now?

Nope.

I tested that very thing before TC went down today. It still isn't working....

TK,

Can you find out what the slash commands (macros) for these are? Especially opening the droid's item storage?

Crap I must have missed something, I have had players e-mail me saying they cant store stuff in the item store sugicals I sold on my vendor, I was baffled. /Examine said they had the storage module but players claimed they couldnt store. I had to refund a few people thier credits back.

That's the option I get to use on TC to call a droid QA person to come and bonk my droid when it's naughty.

Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

bonk (bongk)


v. bonked, bonk·ing, bonks


To strike or cause to come into contact: She bonked her head going through the low doorway.
To collide against something: His head bonked against the wall as he fell.


n.


A blow to the head.
A hollow thud.


But to go back onto subject, I think a droid options tab is a good idea. The radial was getting abit cluttered. I wish they'd include a "/tellpet Say xxxxx" command, to make talkie droids actually speak. It'd do wonders for the roleplayers.








Hmm


verb [I or T] UK HUMOROUS SLANG
to have sex with someone:
'I bonked the prince, says sexy Sarah' declared the newspaper headline.

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)



I too would like to see a /tellpetSay command, It would be so much use in RP and outside it. It's not hard to do either
