[CF-Devel] proposed treasure lists

[crossfire-devel-admin at archives.real-time.com]

I have to appologize for woolgathering on this without really being 
concrete - I was mulling - the specific thing I was going to do was to 
make some treasure lists for some of the cities such as the jail list so 
that when an NPC gets killed there would be different consequences - in 
Scorn you have the City guards, in Santo Dominion maybe the town milita, 
in Navar - wizards... very basic and simple to do. It would make it 
easier to assign them is all. If you are putting a NPC in Navar you just 
drop in the treasurelist (is it possible to assign more than one 
treasure list? - that would make them more modular...)

But (you knew there would be one) what I have been thinking of and what 
leaked out in my initial e-mail was to have an object to put in player 
and creature inventory representing the town they belong to (or the 
guild perhaps...). This is something that could be checked against to 
get like 'a home town advantage' and a "stranger factor' when talking to 
NPC's, when entering certain buildings, when purchasing goods.

Or maybe what I am thinking of is simpler than this - a location field 
that could be used to compare two objects (player and map, player and 
npc, link a book or a monster to general local lore tables...)
Or maybe I was thinking that if there were a more Goddish object (but 
different of course) for the guilds and towns and if people could belong 
to them like they do the Gods that all sorts of fun things could come 
up. If the guards and shops of a town have an Navar property and Navar 
and Port Joseph are at odds (DM command?) then players who are citizens 
of Port Joseph will not be well recieved by guards in Navar or welcom in 
the civic buildsing or the shops.

I dont know what I was thinking specifically actually...I should settle 
down and get back to work.

Anyway - right now I am working on a randomizer object which is super 
easy object (have to start somewhere) - so I will just be making city 
treasure lists for the moment and save large coding projects like the 
town and guild objects for later on. Just woolgathering. I am pleased to 
hear the spells as arches is going well and that you can put treasure 
lists in seperate files with the arches now (yes?)...
