evilbunnie Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I guess it's okay, the GUI is pretty ugly and non-user friendly, and cannot comment on the code because you haven't shown it, but keep working bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whackeddie99 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Zesh but real talk right here this is a very brilliant system. I would of never thought of the attachment system. I've always wanted a mail system, and I know its your choice whether to release it or not, but I'm saying that many people here would use it (this is, after all, a community to help develop games). But if you do not release it, please do understand that this is some pretty nice shit real talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you do not release it, please do understand that this is some pretty nice shit real talk.It's not that hard to add an attachment system, just have an attachment variable in the mailrec, once clicked on an item make it fill the variable with the item num, remove it from inventory, other player receives it and it is added to his inventory. Very simple, you could also extend it to stacked items and multiple items.You're never going to get anywhere if you just leech off other users and don't try yourself.

Joyce Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 How is it handled though, does the server send ALL mails to you once you open the mailbox, or just the titles? And are they compressed or sent in plain string format? Sending over that much text in it's normal form will just lag like a bitch, especially on larger scales.

Sending over that much text in it's normal form will just lag like a female dog, especially on larger scales.Once the mailbox is opened only the mail subjects are sent. Hm…I've only sent a few words in a message..so I'll try a much bigger mail and see what happens. Compressing the mail text string might be a good idea :cheesy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 While the difference may not be noticable at first, when you get aprox. 50 players on your server continuesly sending and receiving packets, long strings can take up a LOT of time to process. Especially if they're sent in plain text from a textbox. EO's packet system pushes them into a Binary format, so I'm not too sure how much it will impact performance, but it may be worth looking into.
