Life is Feudal Official Forum

[Custodian]

Greetings, feudalists!

I was warmly welcomed with one of my mods, recieved some personal messages and this encouraged me to share details about whole pack I developed/working on so far.

Not all of this Mods/Addons are yet server admin friendly in installation and/or maintenance, so I will share them one by one after making some documentation.

Not all mods are sutable for pure pvp servers, as some of them are developed with RP-style gaming in mind.

Some of mods require coins to be used on your server. Some of mods "helps" you with coins implementations.

Some mods require other mods to be installed, or have extra functionality, if another mod is used.
I intend to use this topic for general discussions about pack inself, ideas, suggestions, complains and , while every Mod will have own topic for bugs, and related discussions.

I will update this post with the links to topics for each mod discussion as soon as I start those threads.

If you have ideas for new mods, or suggestions about already published mods feel free to post them!

Okay, here we go.
List of supported mods with simplified descriptions.

1. BasilMod::Pack
   Server-side + client-side modifications.
   It automates syncronization of BasilMod addons used on the server with the client. Proper versions of mods being loaded and used for specific server.
   You can load/unload/reload addons with one click. If you are GM, you can update/configure server side.
   Basically, players need to have only this one. If server is BasilMod::Pack enabled, all addons used(allowed) by server will be syncronized with the client( loaded from the server), and verified.
   
   
2. BasilMod::TradeWindow
   This mod is obsolete. Since patch 0.8.0.6+ LiF have official Barter Mechanics.
   
   Spoiler

   Server-side + client-side modifications.

8. BasilMod::SteamFamilyAccess
   Server-side only mod.
   Prevent ban evasion on your server via Steam Shared Library access.
   
   Spoiler

   You can completely disable Shared Library access to your server.
   Or you can enable Shared Library access to you server. In this case mod will check if source account(who provided the shared access to the game) is banned(not active) on your server, and apply those restrictions to shared account as well.
   
   
   
9. BasilMod::AuctionHouse
   Server-side + client-side modification. Requires coins on the server.
   Grab your carts, merchants! Your Trade Posts actually working (*not really, this mod does)!
   Place lots, bid and buyout. You can buy from any, but you have to visit concrete AH where item was sold. Or you can order Mail Delivery.
   GM can setup coins issue(one way buy back) for high quality goods(limited amount of money and goods per setup) to distribute initial coins.
   
   
10. BasilMod::Battlegrounds
    Server-side + client-side modification.
    Tired of dull gaming? Want a mass fight with no alignment penalty? Welcome to the Battleground!
    Team up with friends and queue battlegrounds! You can queue from different servers, setup rules/weaponary, make tournaments.

    This modification may not be supported by shared LiF:YO game servers hosting providers. Ensure to have dedicated server for best user experience!.
    
    A few new maps will be added your server, which will be used for battlegrounds.
    
    WIP
    
    
    
    • Capture the Flag
      Raid enemy based, capture their flag, and get it to your base while defending your flag to score a point! Think about WoW WarSong map.
    • Domination
      Capture and hold resource points to get victory in battle with enemies! Think about WoW Arathi Basin map.
    
    
11. BasilMod::PingLimit
    Server-side only mod.
    Define maximum allowed ping(latency) for your players. If player exceeds defined value, it will be unable to join the server.
    
    
12. BasilMod::SafeZone
    Server-side only mod.
    Define zones free of fights to keep your citizens safe for a while. Small hut, house, or whole city area. No attacks allowed.

16. BasilMod::MailSystem
    Server-side + client-side modification.
    You've got a message!
    Send text messages, or goods from one place to another. TradePost(or any other special spot) is not only a auction house, but a guild mailbox now! Mail is not instant. It takes a few in-game hours/days to deliver letter/goods from one point to another, depending on distance. You can send message while reciever is offline.
    
    
17. BasilMod::Ravens
    Server-side + client-side modification.
    Yay! You've got another message!
    From the Keep you can send message to another Keep. Mail is too slow, and ravens are instant. If you are under the siege, its fastest way to call out for help. Also, you can send some special secret messages or maps. Although, hunter with throwing/(x)bow skill can shutdown( intercept) your raven, and will be able to read your message, and target reciever will not.
    RP-style to make in-game communications.

    Custom rotation and objects slope will be released as a separate mod.
    
    Spoiler

    Server-side + client-side modification.
    Are you aware of the floating logs and wardrobes?
    Are your players tired of making screenshots during sieges?
    Stop the madness of floating objects on your server!
    

    Spoiler
    
    
20. BasilMod::MonumentProtection
    Server-side modification.
    Protects monuments on the server from destruction from siege damage.
    Guild leader and GM can remove monument as they used to.
    Mod does not prevent monument destruction due to support points depletion.
    
    
21. BasilMod::RestartOnDemand
    Server-side modification.

    Useful for scripted/automated server management.

    Influence areas. Unions & Wars. Spies & traitors.
    Raid your enemy, rob their warehouses and auction houses!
    
    
27. BasilMod::Economy (Concept)
    Probably Server-side + client-side modification.
    Regulates issue and withdraw of coins from the server economy via taxes, payments, services costs, and so on.
    
    
28. BasilMod::Coins (Prototype, wont be finished)
    
    Spoiler

    Server-side only modification for usage with other mods.
    Server-side + client-side modification for player to operate (give/take) money.
    Coins are "virtual". This is lame, as you cannot be robbed with full loot. So it stays as prototype for a long time, and I guess it wont be finished, as I switched to "real" coins.

[Hoshiqua]

This is so impressive ! You have added MANY of the features the devs would never have to YO !


I will make sure to let every server admin I know know of that huge mod pack. The fact that most of them have basic, but very useful functions if you only install them server side is a HUGE thing. Keep focusing on that.

[NavyS34l]

This looks awesome, are you going to pilot them all individually like the trade window or release all at once? If so what is your ETA for Beta?

[Custodian]

One by one, with details, and then pack as monolith which can be updated with one action. You will be able to cherry pick single mods from it.

[NavyS34l]

Well I know the community will be pretty excited to see this once completed. Until then Ill be happy to beta when you release initially. You have pretty much done what I was slowly working towards myself.

Also to clarify, the server-side for the trade window has not been released? Or is it the same setup as the client using the files you posted?

Server side scripts differs from client scripts, and havent been released yet.

[NavyS34l]

Ok, just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the clarification. Saw your other post on it as well.

[Custodian]

First post updated with Teleport mod link, and Taxi mod description added.

[NavyS34l]

Sweet! Downloading!

[DarkKnyte]

This is amazing! Funny how many issues you've been able to address, even to any extent that the developers are ignoring in favor of MMO implementation.

Thank you for all your hardwork. I will be deploying this on my server ASAP.

[Custodian]

Tradewindow mod updated with server-side part and instructions.
First post updated with MotD link.
First post updated with Taxi link.

[HouseHarkonnen]

I'm one of the admins of the server Basil plays on and I must say his mods make our little world a better place and we are very lucky to have him with us! I'm super excited that he is giving back to the community his hours of work and testing.



LiF Dev team, give this man a job!

[Custodian]

HorseTaxi server installation instructions added to the Taxi thread.

[GruFF]

Привет...
Если можешь, сделай аукцион (торговый пост) побыстрее, от разработчиков, видимо, не дождемся...

[Balax]

Hi sir, I must admit I am agog reading about this modpack. It is absolutely brilliant.

Hope you find the time and inspiration to keep up this splendid work.

Thank you.

[Rjmspoel]

Excellent, I am thinking of applying the complete pack once YO comes out officially and now have some 'stand alone' features!

Awesome work, keep at it and bring us more awesomeness!

[Azzerhoden]

Perhaps I am missing something, but I am finding that adding

Code: Select all

exec("BasilMod/motd/motd.cs");

to the main.cs file is not working.

If I paste it into the console window, then it works just fine.

You should add it to server main.cs, not client (i.e. "LiF dedicated server/main.cs" or "LiF/server/main.cs". Add to the very end of the file, after all curved brackets.

If you are using gameserver hosting, hoster may not allow usage of altered main.cs file, since same directory structure can be used for all clients.

Also, make sure that there is no main.cs.dso file. If it is present, rename/remove it, since it has higher priority, and any changes to main.cs file would not affect server loading.

Thanks, will check for the latter. This is in the server main.cs file, and I have full access to the server I am using (NFO Servers).

Head post updated with BasilMod::Pack link.

Head post updated with Battlegrounds mod info.

[Custodian]

BasilMod::SafeZone mod released.

[Gork]

1. Is it possible to add more slash commands? Like teleport player on GM, quick GM terraforming(/setheight ?), centerPrintAll.
2. Something like "battle zone". When players are allowed to attack each other without alignment(or possibly skill) penalisations. It would be very usefull for pvp events(arena etc.).
3. Better trading possibilities? Trading window is cool, but working trade posts would be the best.

Adding "slash" commands without client side mod is not possible.
Quick gm terraforming is not possible.
Teleport players, messaging is possible.

2. Something like "battle zone". When players are allowed to attack each other without alignment(or possibly skill) penalisations. It would be very usefull for pvp events(arena etc.).

It will be possible, as soon as corresponding api will be added to server.

3. Better trading possibilities? Trading window is cool, but working trade posts would be the best.

I'm preparing AuctionHouse mod for wide release.

[Rjmspoel]

I'm preparing AuctionHouse mod for wide release.

Have a question regarding this, when the LiF devs bring out a patch with a working Trading Post will it conflict with the AuctionHouse you made or will it be an extra means of trading alongside it?

[GruFF]

looking forward to the auction mod

[Custodian]

Have a question regarding this, when the LiF devs bring out a patch with a working Trading Post will it conflict with the AuctionHouse you made or will it be an extra means of trading alongside it?

It should not conflict, as BasilMod::AuctionHouse is an overlay and not binded to tradepost. You can setup AH at any place on the map.
If official Trading Posts will be released, you will recieve 2 independent trading systems.

Soon

TradeWindow mod is obsolete now. Starting from 0.8.0.6+ patch LiF have official Barter Mechanics.

[Metal]

I like your mod and i "wish" that you fix lif mmo world map, so we all can use it. In my opinion the tress are to huge (factor 600+), this makes such huge map, super small. If there is a way to make really small trees and character (Tall as this dudes hair -> ), so the world feels massive. That would be great.

Features, i would like to see:

- Add Accept and lock down the trade menu, like it is done in path of exile. This will enable much more safer trading. Such trading feature should be only done via server side.
- Add server side option to display or not to display character names.
- Add server side Forsaken World like world map teritory map: http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/www/ ... 482128.jpg / options in menu to be seen by: all players, only clans, only clan leader, only GM.
- Add option to track humans and in difirent skill, player killers.
- Add server side option to hide quality and durability of everthing.
- Add server side option to hide hp and stamina bar.
- Add server side option, when item reaches 0 durability, it disipiers from inventory and message is displayed that it is gone.
- Add server side option to disable skills via menu.
- Remove exploit where horse can added into inventory and taken out. He gets full stamina.
- Add server side option to remove chat window.
- Add timer in battlefield for storing horse, like 30 min. ?
- Add Alt f4 timer set to 5 min. so the character stays inside game.
- Add option that horse can be mule. Same with cows and ram.

/ Arbalest, Heavy crossbow and Composite bow. Should have ability to pierce heavy armor (any armor).

I hope i didnt killed your mood for moding. I am myself a moder and mysql mediocre dude.
