The idea is to add the ability to add some cross functionality between the game and the website.

Right now (at the time of writing this) there are only two things planned that will effect the players:

* Edit Characters Online (I have the problem, that the ingame character management is lacking a bit and lagging quite often)

* Offline Messaging System between the site and the server

* Antag Contract Board

In addition there will be a few admin backend things.

[SierraKomodo]

For DO's, ability to pull DO recorder logs without being on server (This should be read-only access)

[Arrow768]

Added to the list.

Do you know if the recorder logs are stored in the db or as a file on the server ?

[SierraKomodo]

Iirc, they're stored as raw text files.

I really want the offline messaging system. I never thought I'd be so excited for emails, but I'd love it.

[Arrow768]

Talked with skull. They will be moved to the db -> Then it will be possible to view them online

Would it be useful to have the option to add comments on them ?

I'm not certain that it needs to be a thing unless we are trying to manage things across several rounds of play in regards to faxes and cannon activities. Gollee or Sierra are obviously going to have better and more meaningful answers though.

Just need the ability to access and read them off-station. Comments and such are covered by the investigation threads in the DO subforums.

We should add library database to whatever control panel we (loredevs) have on the website next to whitelist control. We (lore people primarily?) can purge it all and police it. We can add in more things out-of-round without risk of being interrupted by cultists or ERP. Ideally we delete every single copypaste of IRL books, leave schematics, and add in lore/guides.

Or spam it with WGW

[Arrow768]

Suggestion added to the list.

Forum login system is finished.

First beta of the contracts system has been deployed.

(Its semi-private to those who know the url)

Public beta might start ~next weekend.

[Arrow768]

So for those that are interested:

Here is the link to the Webinterface.

Username / Password is the same you are using for the forum.

Neat

[Zundy]

I can log into the interface but it's not linkked to my byond account?

I don't believe the byond account linking is setup yet.

[Zundy]

I don't believe the byond account linking is setup yet.

 

Never mind then!

[Arrow768]

You can already submit the linking request, but it requires a code update on the server.

Once its live you should get a message when connecting that there is a linking request.

What kinda features will this give us?

[Arrow768]

Right now its not much, basically only the whitelist status and your warnings.

But there are a few things that are planned:

* It will tie into the contracts system (we have a few ideas that should give some incentive to complete contracts)

* Messaging System --> Once its added serverside it will allow you to send and receive pda messages via the webinterface.

* Character Records --> Once the chars are stored in the db, this will allow you to edit you characters.
