Have a one time log-in msg telling people about new features after a patch - this is meant for those that do not read the forum regularly.

This is a good idea, how would it handle someone who hasn't logged in for 3 years though? Just the most recent patch?

I would suggest a selection of the most recent gameplay changes, like controls, quests, addy-coin stuff. I probably would not include bugfixes, gfx updates, etc.

the popup could have a button that says 'click here to see what's new' and it opens the 'misc updates' thread :fp:

That would do =p

#additional maptiles with default undertiles:

Upper row would be default grass, lower default dirt.
I also vote for one of the columns to have pink background and the former floortile as default undertile.
Edit: added foothills and fixed the pink bg in the pic

Nice! Trying to make an apoc map with half of the themed tiles on grass is pretty limiting.

Would it be possible to implement something like split tiles for terrain? So you can have something like half hills and half grass.

Funny you mention that. Turns outi have 95% of my euo stuff herein Oregon. Just missing a few things like finished lizard men. I was experimenting with half tiles and more. Somewhere in spired by water boarders and a few custom. I should get back to messing around with them. From simple testing they make neat maps. You should see the messed up diagonal roads and railways I was trying to make work. Didn't turn out as well as I liked.

Or desert. I might pull the eftv tiles and put them with my euo collection. Been looking at others. Next time I hit a computer terminal there's some euo web pages I'm saving.

Remove the "No weekly winner this week! Server not wiped." message from the armoury. Have it only state when the server is wiped.

I always feel a bit depressed to visit the armoury and see that half the messages just say that nothing happened.

I agree.

I got a huge request that I feel is long over-due. An in game map of New Sosaria, The Underworld, Maeondir, and soon to be Apoc. New Sosaria. The area could have landmarks that show up after you visit somewhere.

I always have alot of free space down by the right corner of my screen, could it be possible to fill this unused space with a list of who is online?

Or maybe this would muck up alot of peoples game if they are not using crazy large screen res. like me?

I don't think there's any functions in the LUA API for that. However, nothing's to stop egg from adding one... ;)
