Event System Overhaul Currently the event system cannot handle events that are scripted and lead into each other. Such a system is needed for events such as the AQ war effort and expansion launch events (such as the scourge invasion) I have discussed this with a few Mangos team members and this is something we would like to do at some stage. [SIZE=4]Desired Outcome[/SIZE] Events can have scripted sub-events for events like the AQ war effort. Events have requirements and cannot progress onto their sub-event until those requirements has been met. [SIZE=4]Example[/SIZE] AQ war effort event would be fully scripted and blizzard-like. This would include all collection quests and there requirements.

[One][Two] GM Ticket Replies This is more of a report of my testing for lfxgroove / developers. GM ticket testing [SIZE=4]MangosOne[/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Creating tickets works [*]Replying to tickets does NOT work [LIST] [*]Players do not see the "You have received a ticket reply" as in wrath, either the same reply system does not exist or there is a problem somewhere. Login in/out has no effect. [/LIST] [/LIST] MangosOne ticket system constantly shows "Your ticket will be serviced soon" I am given the impression by the TBC client that the 2 box GM reply window does exist in TBC as in Wrath. [SIZE=4]MangosTwo[/SIZE] [LIST] [*]Creating tickets works [LIST] [*]Replying to tickets works - BUT is very slow and took over 5 minutes to appear on my test player's screen [/LIST] [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Need more help button - Players clicking need more help button overwrites the original ticket and the players reply appears as a new ticket in the queue! [*]There is no survey shown to the player [*]GM reply to "Need more help" - GM reply does NOT appear even if notified as a GM that the ticket has been updated. [/LIST]

Making the GM system more authentic Hey, Here are a few suggestions to making the GM system more authentic. [LIST] [*]Allow tickets to be assigned to a GM when a GM opens/views one. [*]Once a ticket is assigned and the GM has sent their initial whisper the user will be able to whisper them [*]When server is set to: GM.InGMList.Level=0 & GM.InWhoList.Level=3 users never see GMs online. [LIST] [*]This is fine but if a GM adds a player to their friend list then the player should be able to see the GM online. Real blizzard servers give the message "There is no such character" when adding a blizzard GM. [/LIST] [/LIST] Messaging a GM after they have closed or replied to the ticket Once the ticket is closed the GM should no longer see messages by the player. Instead the realm should send a preset response (maybe set in the mangosd.conf) [LIST] [*]Officially the response would be from a character called "System" and would send: [QUOTE]This game master (GM-Name) currently has no open ticket with you, if you are still having an issue please submit a response or new ticket.[/QUOTE] [/LIST] GM Interaction Allow only GMs to whisper each other. No players can whisper GMs except if they are having there ticket handled. (Or it is manually set in the config to override this behaviour.) When setting GM.LowerSecurity=0 is set in the mangosd.conf GMs with a lower rank should not be able to whisper GMs with a higher rank if the higher GM has the lower GM ignored. I would suggest adding an additional setting "GM.Strict.Message" if this was enabled lower GMs could not message higher GMs unless the higher GM sent a message first, of course this all depends if this is something the core can do. Messaging the higher GM would remain until they logged out. Add a setting to the mangosd.conf To prevent players from mailing GM characters. Maybe "GM.Acceptmail=x" ?

[THREE] mangosd.conf Crashing Hey, I just wanted to report that if you set "LogFilter_DbStrictedCheck = 0" in mangosd.conf it casues the console/server to crash during loading.
