Any here remember the old school games on the classic RPGs like DnD or Gurps?  Well, here of late, I'd gotten the itch of the old fashion lure of a bunch of friends around a table rolling dice and having a good time.  But my schedule is too hectic to ever let that happen again.

But still I miss the good old days.  But a few years back I found a solution, and I'm feeling in the mood to run a game again.

Play by Email, or PBeM for short.  Simple, fun and allows people to play at there own pace.  I'm looking to see if I can get any interest in getting a game going.

How does it work?  Simple, we make a Google Group, and then the game is played out using normal rpg rules, with a small set added on for playing it via email. two or three times a week you simply write out your turn (post) and the DM makes it all happen.

Anyone interested?

Okay, i'm very new to c++, but I have a question about how to set a phasemask via c++

here is the script i have so far:

        void OnPlayerEnter(Player* player) OVERRIDE
        {
                if player->HasSpell(95000)
                      Set a specific creature spawn with a specific guid to x01;
         }

I know the method is SetPhaseMask(Mask, false) but how do you specify the GUID of the spawn to modify?

Okay kids, here what Ive got working for the Starting Island for Quests:

This is to get players some basic skills that will be useful in game and for some good RP

1.) A Rude Awakening:  A lone fisherman is waiting on the shore he sees you there and when you talk to him, you get a simple explanation from him of the fact that there was a huge storm the night prior and that so far your the only survivor.  he gives you a loaf of bread and some fresh water to help you out.

2.) Search the Shore:  He will have you dig through the five crates and see what supplies that you can find from the ship wreck (Or we can change this to clues of where your from)  

3.) Give a man a Fish:  As the boat from shore won't be along for a while, he will teach you fishing and give you a fishing pole.  Quest will be to catch some fish.

4.) Feed him for life:  John will then teach the player Cooking and have them find some wood and start a fire.  Then the player will have to cook the meat from the fish that they have to make a meal.

5.) Doctor, Heal thyself:  John will the then comment about the player looking injured and teach them basic first aid.  The player will then have to find some cloth from the supplies crates and make a few bandages.  The reward from this will be a Minor Paradigm: You will get a scroll that will teach you either Survivor (+10% stamina) or some other paradigm.

6.) Time to depart:  John will point you to the orc camp, and the boat will appear and let you travel back to deadmen's landing

Im going to update this post with the focus for the week and what our overall plan is:

Overall Goal

: Get an Alpha release ready

Week of 01JUL13
Get Orc Camp Spawned
Redo Starting Island

Week of 23JUN13
Get Orc Camp Spawned
Get Starting Quests cleaned up
Implement base SpellWeaver Functions - Done

Okay, I got an Ability System working...  It replaces the Glyph System.  Works in a similar fashion.  You link abilities instead of glyphs.

Two kinds of abilities, Active and Passive.  Active Abilities are bonuses or auras that are applied to the character, Such as a + to skill level or some other full time bonus.  Passive Abilities don't effect the player directly but are used as condtional checks for other things.  Such as Quests, Gameobjects, things like that.

The two I started with that will be out in the next server release are:

Diplomacy:  Active, Gain +10% to rep gain
Religion: Passive, Allows the player to understand and use religious objects.

The question is, what would be good traits that we could give as abilities?  I intend these to exist along side class and race bonuses, and allow a player to customize himself a little more without overpowering himself.

We can also have requirements to "socket" an ability, so if for say we have a Master Healer ability, we can have it require a certain level of first aid.

Ever go to make a custom item and think "What the hell would be a cool icon ID to show up in the player's inventory?"  Yeah me too...

Then you spend 45mins to an hour on Wowhead looking for the Icon you want, then try to track down the display ID?

Well, no more, I've compiled two PDF docs that will make your life more easy.  The first is displayids.pdf, inside is a Table of all the display icons in the WoW interface, with  a corresponding display id you can drop right on a custom item and make work.

The second one is for the DBC files.  If your like me and mess around with custom spells, talents and other cool stuff, you often left doing a similar search to find the SpellIcon Id.  Well once again, we have Spellid.pdf.  Simply open it up and have a look, the number below the icon is the spellicon id.

Here's the link to my google drive folder, feel free to download.  Note: they are rather large files, but there are 5735 icons in the wow interface... So at 64x64 size its still pretty big...
