Look like i misundertood you. Didn't know you were planning to get this survive to resets. So overlay is the persistence thingie and the ticks is the fast forward thingie. We now agree ;) The last active moment could be saved on the persistence thingie. Btw, it could be usefull to have some kind of generic overlay system, which would be used by weather, grows and perhaps other things in future. A kind of permanent map alteration system (and btw, have really lots of fun with the random maps) Le Mardi 26 Avril 2005 15:17, Nicolas Weeger a écrit : > Indeed, time to open some fish & chips at scorn square central And have shops players could own & run :) > This tag is increased by the object speed at each server tick.

Yes, of course I'll use it, growing items will have a speed & such, and a movement consisting of growing. > no need to remember them in an overlay map. and remembering the tree has > one apple is as simple as putting an apple in the tree inventory. sure Except when map gets reset you lose that. And the aim would be to *not* lose that on map reset :) Unless i'm mistaking, what you suggest would work when swapping a map, but not for reset. > Concerning the fast forward, i probably wasn't clear. <snip> That's exactly what I was thinking to do, indeed. But the catch is that there is a flag indicating when the map was swapped, I think, but no flag to say when the map was reset last time. > Yes, one step at a time, but i fear to see player planting tree seeds in > the scorn square :) There won't be seeds at first, I guess :) Just fields & such.
