To-Do List
(Last Update: 2011-04-04)
The point of this thread is to have a central collection of ideas regarding missing features, things that need investigation and nice-to-haves. Please note that the points here do not represent the things the community is working on, it's a simple list of outstanding problems and reoccuring ideas.
The following items were previously in here but have been worked on:

The point of this thread is to have a central collection of ideas regarding missing features, things that need investigation and nice-to-haves. Please note that the points here do not represent the things the community is working on, it's a simple list of outstanding problems and reoccuring ideas.
- Documentation & Tutorials
Having lots of tables and a plethora of options is not a problem as long as we have a somewhat usable documentation in our hands.
Ideas for documentation points:
- Table layout
- Server commands
Ideas for tutorials:
- IFF editing for beginners and intermediates
- Cadie's Cauldron defunct
Cause: USP_ITEM_RECYCLE is missing, needs reconstruction of the stored procedure as well as filling the necessary tables to make it work.
- Server INI options
It might be worth investigating whether it's possible to put additional parameters into the servers' ini files and document the findings. Typing "alluseropen" seems so redundant, doesn't it?
- Investigate locked GM commands
As you have probably noticed some GM commands seem to be locked. Investigating the cause of this as well as the function of these commands and whether they can be unlocked and used would be of interest.
- Trophies
Check whether tournament trophies work.
- Events cannot be started/controlled
Event control is a black box. Although one can seemingly trigger some changes by typing "event" in the Login server window and/or "as <number>" in the Game server window, there is no way to activate or schedule events like Valentine stuff.
- Document server commands
Pretty much self-explanatory. If someone has a lot of time and likes puzzles it would be great if one could debug the server components and list the available commands for the server console.
- GMtool interface
Investigate whether the Auth/Login server provide a special interface for external tools to hook into and control the server. Documenting the interface and - ideally - writing a clean client.
- Proper client repack
Since Diovannel2 posted QuickPatch, it might be a good idea to take the original TH client and add new PAK files to it (i.e. replace the fonts with the US's Arial/Verdana variants, add the English interface etc.) without causing all the interface glitches that mrNickname's client had.
- Maintained server distribution
An actively maintained server distribution that can easily be updated would be helpful. It should not consist of a few randomly copied scripts from all over the place but should be specifically tailored to be a full package, checking existing databases and updating them, filling tables etc. - Clean up the databases, apply CamelCasing for tables names
The databases contain a lot of unnecessary tables, ranging from backup tables to migration tables or account informations for other MMOGs. Cleaning up these tables would make the database more slim and less confusing.
Another nice change would be to rename all the CAPITAL TABLE NAMES to something sane (i.e. PANGYA_ITEM_TYPELIST to Pangya_Item_Typelist) to make them easier to read. Should probably be done in sync with aforementioned server distribution.
The following items were previously in here but have been worked on:
- "Cardpacks do not open", see this thread.
- "Tutorials don't work", see this thread.
- "Mail does not work" and "/giveitem does not work", see this thread.
- "Gauge whether guilds need work", bare-bone guild system has been implemented. Currently for developers only, this system fixes the database-side of the guilds to make them work.
- "Treasure points don't work", see this thread.
- "UCC (self-design) endpoint missing", systems done but canned after massive problems with the userbase support.
- "Ghost upload does not work due to missing endpoint", Ghost mode has been fixed shortly after UCC.
- "Buying furniture does not work", release thread here.
- "GMtool commands", list available here but no clean documentation or server/client software to safely use the commands remotely.
