I was just wondering some things about the player built shops (ex: arcane vault, voodoo lounge)

1. Can the shops sell to players other than the builder?
2. Can you set prerequisites on the items (ex: you need to have a lumbermill to buy this)?
 
Yes, both of your questions are possible.
1: Give them the abilities from the regular shop...ehm, what is it called again? Oh, Goblin Merchant. And thats mostly it!;)
1.5: prerequisites, is that a real word?:eek:
2:
Edit; Oh, l0l, or add tech requirements to items! (like oninuva said!:D)and instead of choosing a tech, you choose "lumber mill".
Cheerio AGAIN!;)

Yes . If someone builds an arcane vault or voodoo lounge .. Allied players can buy from it too. If u want all players able to buy .. Make it Neutral Passive .


2. Can you set prerequisites on the items (ex: you need to have a lumbermill to buy this)?

Yep .. You can .. add tech requirements in the editor
 
Actually if your shop has the ability shop purchase and hero select it can choose anyone allie or enemy if thats what your after. it dont have to be neutral passive

No, Enemies can't buy from shops owned by another team.

Yes they can because you can do it on my map Merchants of Vengeance. which will be uploaded later on and you can see for yourself :p
 
No they definately can't unless you change on of the settings or make it Nuetral passive, I just tried it out on a normal melee map :p
 
Yeah but I see custom items in there, that could make the difference :p

Maybe I'm wrong, I'll go check in a melee map and edit if I did make a mistake before anyone reads this :D
 
If the shop has the Shop Sharing ability enemies won't be able to shop from it, unless you make it neutral passive, and obviously if it doesn't have the Shop Sharing ability everybody can use it.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
