Customisations & Reactions

Hey folks,

Two new exciting things to announce. Firstly, I've completely rewritten the customization system and revamped some aspects of it. Secondly, IRE has created a new 'reaction' system that allows you to give life to your pets, house mobs, and the new shopkeepers!

Customization Changes
---------------------
* Your customizations are now saved forever, and be accessed at any time.
* You can CUSTOMIZE <rep> APPLY <cust#> to reapply any old approved customizations that item had instantly and at no cost.
* Qeddwyn no longer sells customization certificates. Any existing customization certificates will only work for a customization whose total cost equals exactly 50cr.
* Pets and House Mobs are now created through the customization system instead of e-mailing me. Refer to their help files for more information.
* You can now create Shopkeepers! Approval costs 150cr. The mob can only be assigned to one shop (although you can change it). No refunds if you lose your shop for whatever reason. The mob will 'disappear' but can be reassigned to a new shop if you obtain one. Can be assigned to either your own shop, or a shop where you have ally shopkeeping privs. HELP SHOPKEEPERS for more information.
* Sentinels rejoice. Your woodlore entities can now be customised. They must remain the same type, i.e. a bear is still a bear. Whenever you summon your entities, they'll appear as your chosen customisation type. First customisation is free, further customisations cost 50cr.
* Rune of Transformation can now have custom wielded messages set. If you already have one and want a wield message added to it, leave me a message with the descriptions.

Old customizations weren't saved in any kind of viable format for us to convert them to this new system. If you create and get approved a new customization for an item, its old descriptions will automatically be added to a new customization entry, so you can still take advantage of the new APPLY command.

Please carefully read HELP CUSTOMISATIONS, HELP PETS, HELP SHOPKEEPERS and HELP HOUSE MOBS as many things have changed.


Reactions System
----------------
This system allows you make your pets, house mobs and shopkeepers react under certain conditions. It is very basic at the moment, but we plan on expanding it in the future. Please put any ideas and feedback you have on the forums!

This replaces the existing method of adding reactions to your pets/house mobs (i.e. e-mailing me). Reactions are auto-approved, but any sort of misconduct will see you blacklisted and needing admin approval for any future reaction modifications.

Read over HELP REACTIONS for full information.
