New house system
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 4:20 pm
New house system:
Many of you have already noticed, that I have worked on a new house system.
new and new, it's the old house system which has been optimized with some new things.
However, as many also knows. Almost all the houses where deeded as "Normal Houses" and a few as "Large Houses". And the prices on the houses in Britain, Luna and Gravewater is deeded at a higher price in the rest. But after the Wipe, there was created a new way to deed the houses on. But they did not calculate prices, area, lockdowns, containers or secure. And many other things were not calculated.
So I've made a lot of scripting in the house system during the last 6-8 months.
I have tested many options on my test server to avoid being a "Bad ash Admin" and make the change so little harmful as possible .
And here are the result:
This will benefit the new players on the shard, and be a little hard for the old players.
However, do not take it so hard, the old players there got a big house will get more lockdowns.
From now on will there not be a higher prices on houses in a special city. (Like Britain, Luna and ...)
But there will be a limit, so you are no longer able to buy more than 1 house in Britain or Luna.
The Field and Additional Land will not count as a house in these towns, but it will count in the total house- value. The Special Garden is only for Special Houses and therefore will it no longer count as house-value, but there will still be a price to pay for them.
The old script had these types of houses player could buy:
Field, Additional Land, Special Garden, Normal House, Britain House, Luna House, Grave Waterhouse, New Haven House, Large House, Huge House and Special House.
The new script has these house types players are able to buy:
Field, Additional Land, Special Garden, Small House, Normal House, Large House, Huge House, Special House and New Haven House.
As many have noted, only these types were used in the old:
Field, Additional Land, Special Garden, Normal House, Large House.
Because the script was not rewritten after the new way to deed the houses on there was made after the Item Wipe on the shard.
So the calculated script will have huge effect on all houses.
Some will have to pay more for the house they got, and other will get money back.
There are an Upgrade House Price button in the sign, this button will tell you.
Whether you have to pay or receive money.
(Please notice that you will not be forced to pay for now or move.)
If you sell the house by using the Sell house button, the house will auto-redeed to the new house system. This will also mean that you will get the price you paid for the house -10% as always.
The auto-redeed will also happens if the house decay.
For them there got more than 1 house in Britain, they will not have to do anything. The system knows you got more than 1 house, and if you will move to another house inside Britain first then you have to do something. You will now be forced to sell them all before you can buy the new.
The same goes for houses inside Luna.
The limit in Britain and Luna is to avoid one player to buy all the houses inside those city's.
But all this can you find on your sign and see the rest on the homepage http://www.pangaea-world.dk
And now for the new stuff.
With the new house system, you will be able to look at the sign, before you decide to move there.
You was only able to see the price on the sign, if you had a full house-value (50).
Another new thing is if you comes to a house you will love to buy, but you did not take the money with you from the bank. And you click on the buy button. You will be asked to get help from the banker to buy it. You will be told if you don't have the money at all.
But this is not free, the banker will take 5% of the house price in profit.
He will maximum take 500.000gp for the deal.
