Title: Mail
Post by: Insakna on April 08, 2014, 02:49:09 AM
So, I think we should have a command something like /MailItem where you can mail an item in your inventory to another player, and you could just make it against the rules to spam stuff and it would be useful if you're too lazy to tp or your busy or they don't have armor and you're in a battle. It seems useless because of TP but I gave reasons.

I like that. To prevent spam, it should work like /tp. It should have something like um.. /itemaccept? lol

Oh gosh please don't even remind me of Rich's trolling, it gives me nightmares. >_>

On topic, knowing Rich, if we doesn't like the idea he won't make it happen. What a brony...

Meh, I wouldn't like it very much.
When you use teleportation you actually go to the guy, obviously.
I like to meet people to start talking about other things, like his town for example.
I don't think this would happen if we used this plugin.

Though it doesn't exactly strike up conversations it would still be very good for people who take lots of lag when they are teleporting to spare them that time and just wala, I imagine it like a zombies voice [You've Got Mail]

I think you mainly lost the auction because you went and bought a cornetto :) Not sure if that was the right time

explain to us how to setup a donation chest please debu, what are the commands?

the mail item idea is pretty neat, it would cover the auction plugin requests and help with ppl who have tp lag, as already stated, it may even cover a few other things people have wanted, i mean you could do allot with a plugin like that. spam of course being the main issue, no one wants a inbox full of dirt :/

Also thought it could be abused in other ways, cant you mail yourself? which would allow people to use there mail box as a extra storage chest and could cause some issues.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, I just woke up.

You first need to unlock the chest using /unlock and then re-lock it with a donation module which is /cdonation. Now only the person who has set up the chest can open it. If you want to add another player to the chest you need to do /cmodify @[name] , mind the @. It gives the person root authority to the chest. ie. makes him another owner.

All the ways of abusing it can be stopped by configurable options in the configuration file of the plugin.

I think it would be best if you simply didn't have a "mail box" and it the item just went strait into your inventory using similar commands as /tpa like /itemhand send [name] (Request sent) then the receiver would have to do something like /itemaccept (I think this was already suggested)

Ah ha! I was wrong. Thank you Mac and Debu for that correction.
But anyways, I feel that a plugin would be useless. The donation chests should work just fine. Also with the donation chests, you don't have to worry about just anyone sending you items or requests to send them, only those who know where you live or where your mailbox is located would be able to send you mail. And if you want to write a letter, just get a book and quill, write it, sign it and put it in the mailbox. Maybe I will work on a project to have fun with the mail idea once I get some other things caught up. I will be on in a bit and I will test a few ideas. If it works, I will present it to all of you to get involved in starting it up if anyone is interested. Yes I am being vague, I don't want to get hopes up for those who may like my idea. Don't worry, this could be fun.  ;D

Yes the donations chests work if the user is near you and you know where they live, but you still need to teleport to put an item in there mail box and we already have /mail send [name] [msg] even though your idea sounds fun :) but I still think it would be nice to have an alternate way of getting items to one another without teleporting and hitting the [Q] key. I just had an idea maybe for people you trade alot they could have like a two way chest example: Say if Paradox had a chest that is say like /cdonation modify DaVoBMX1725 and I had a chest with /cdonation modify IrParadox 2 chests could share the same inventory like an enderchest except with access for 2 players.
