im gonna make a shop ;D

ill setup tables around the entrance and put stuff on top of tables so people cant jump into apt. and i can still get behind them from gr'in to the apt.

but try to make just enuf space to see the person or at least b able to open trade ;]
its gonna b kewl ;]

they are supposed to b add'in them back arent they? ;[ my apts r full of them now but i like it ;D as long as they allow u to buy the removal tool it should b fine ;/

That's an excellent idea Shujin....

In fact, I have an apt that should be PERFECT for this purpose (no its not plaza level 3 or via rosso level 3).


You know, you can just tag the GR of your "shop" so you don't even have to bother going into the door itself?

I wonder if we would be allowed dynamic USABLE cabinets....


I tried to be a merchant lately, but its a TAD of an hassle runnig back and forth to the meeting place that I set up in Plaza 4 restaurant... but with this, I think I will have a real go again.

Make sure you put the barricade past the spawn point or /set reset-position will hop them over it.

Items decay after X amount of time, though iv found that if you leave your appartment it will "freeze". I have left my apt for days and I come back and I find crap I left on the floor along time ago still on the floor.

This only works in some places from what I've seen. Items in TH apts seem to last way longer than in Plaza and VR apts too.

Hmmm... where are the spawn points for apt levels?

I hope its not far past the elevator lift doors, because that's whack.

Perhaps we should lobby to make the spawn points IN the lift, not past it, so ppl can't exploit it or something.

OT: Shujin, love you sig picture :D

On topic: Dunno when dynamic items will be returned in-game, but having a own shop (like was hyped back then) would be great.

I also have some ideas to decorate my apartment with benches etc. and have to love a GM's apartment which I saw when the dynamic items were in-game.

*sigh* bring em back KK :(

Just log off in the apt, wait 60 secs and log back in - you are now at the spawn point. Usually they are half way from the lift doors to the locked door.

Crap... that means I gotta figure out again how much space the dynamic objects will take up.

Originally I planned to sort of make a halfcircle around the lift. with the base facing the customer, and he would have enough space to move away from the doors.

But if what you say is true (halfway point), then I might have to turn it so the halfcircle's base faces MY apt door...

Plus I have to figure out how to make it so they can't just jump around past the barricade... trees might be the key...


But Pepper Park Merchants have it somewhat easier... if they buy a "large" pepper park apt, they got a WINDOW by their apt door looking into the corridor. Though it seems KK closed off that window :(

Guys, should we petition KK to open up that window again, so people can trade through it without the Apt owner needing to open the door?

Yes, I heard that KK closed it because people could squirt drones and AoE rounds through it and kill the owner, but perhaps by tightening the window's clipping border, they could stop the drones getting in, and people could still hand stuff through it...

shujin, you realize that level 3 via rosso apts would most likely suck as safe shops? If you just spruce up the central atrium, then you will have problems going out of there to open the door... then there's the security issues...

plaza level 3s, however, with their long corridors, have some promise...

but I'm planning on using some unconventional apts... oh, yes, it will be fun.

Sigh... this is what I wanted my Outzone Cell (P3) for. Set up a desk, a few chairs (lobby should be big enough), and have someone working with the boxes in the back.

:(

BRING THE BUGGERS BACK!
