Used: TP/Ally VC suggestions.
Couple of them, the system's already great IMO, but I think these might add a little something
1) Purple is the color around Aenea.... but perhaps switch the TP list to something a bit lighter? It's difficult to read being such a dark color.
2) commands.... Not everyone is a great typist, and lengthier commands tend to show that. Perhaps for the 'select' commands, shorten it from "tp select #" and "ally select #" to just "tp #" and "ally #"? The select commands would be the most used, so brevity is a plus there.
3) Perhaps some way to 'rename' the slots in our tp list display? The beauty of the glove system was the ability to rename the gloves (some area names can be very verbose, while a player would come up with something short and simple that they can easily associate with a given location).
4) A few more feedback messages.... Came across an oddity with Nightbane and Shouri earlier this evening... while Angie was scribing magehound scrolls like crazy in Madara's library, we found that we couldn't set each other to an ally slot. No feedback, no message of any sort, we were thinking at first the command wasn't working or we were getting the syntax wrong. Shouri figured out the teleport block was preventing it. Not all players would make the teleport-block/no setting ally slot function connection.

Re: Used: TP/Ally VC suggestions.
Thanks.
1) I noticed this too. I'll be changed when I get into the code again sometime today.
2) Nice idea. Consider it on the list of changes.
3) I like this one too.
4) 4 for 4? Going in soon.

Re: Used: TP/Ally VC suggestions.
Another suggestion TP suggestion (and am I the only one who now has a disturbing mental image of Beavis every time they use teleportation? I am the Great Cornholio!....")
For wizards and sorcerers, 'tp list' is a long bit of scroll in the combat log. Even for non-wiz/sorcs, 25 slots is a decent bit of scroll but not as bad as the wiz/sorc list. I find with Aurora or Angie, I have to extend the combat log up to the top of the screen and even then scroll up a bit to see the start of the list
So... perhaps a way to segment the list. "tp list1", and "tp list2". With tp list1, the list would display slots 1 to 25, tp list2 would list slots 26 to 50.

Re: Used: TP/Ally VC suggestions.
Good ideas. I was thinking the same thing myself, except perhaps splitting into three chunks.
Re: Used: TP/Ally VC suggestions.
it would still be nice to have the option to show them all with a single command... maybe "tp listall"
