I think the cash shop and trading functionality should be addressed ASAP, and a number 1 priority in order for this server to retain as many players as possible through this transition. I understand this can be a large task, however I imagine a temporary fix would NOT be a large task. I'd like to propose a temporary fix in the form of commands. Certain few vital Cash Shop items that define how some players play the game (like Hyper Tele Rocks, Gacha, etc.) should be able to be purchased through a command, say "@nxbuy gacha35 2" to buy 2 35 packs of gacha, or "!temporarycs hypertele1" to buy a hyper teleport rock. You could also create a command for people to spend the Gacha tickets if the Gachapon NPCs aren't working properly at the moment. A trading command might be a little more complicated but not by much. I've coded similar commands to all of these in private servers before. This should all be doable in less than a couple of hours, and implemented in next source update. If the new source has a completely new Database and the item tables required aren't set up yet, you can make temporary tables with these vital CashShop items in them. If there is absolutely zero gachapon content at the moment, I'd suggest you temporarily use the tables/scripts from the old source. Once again, this would be a player command based temporary fix, so you could add a couple chunks of code here and there, comment it all so you can easily cntrl+F it all and delete it once proper cash shop and trading is implemented. I'm willing to write all the code if all your dev resources are taken. I just want to play with my buddies again and they're not coming back until these problems are fixed. DM me, etc. Cheers, Adasi
I understand your viewpoint, but with the new source we've made an active effort to become more gms-like and to stop relying on user commands. We've removed a lot of player commands so I really think adding ones like this would be very counter intuitive to our goals. I really think its better to just wait until Kevin finishes it, and to just play the game without CS for now. We did it in GMS, we can do it here, and we know that it's just temporary.
I personally disagree, I don't think a temporary fix to maintain what was already available in a previous source is of any consequence to your goals. Once the functionality is fixed, you delete the temporary fix. It's simply to retain players that enjoy said features. Retaining players should definitely be a priority over this lengthy transition.
As trading and FM shops don't currently work, I really don't see the rush in creating a command to spend your NX. You would just end up with full bags!
