Recently, (today) I went to upload a plethora of shields, 5 to be exact.
I was extremely disappointed to see my shield codes weren't the same as the file type. It has been a while since I last uploaded, and the shield codes were still the same as the file type. Now, unfortunately, we are stuck with codes like :

Classic_personal_shield_graal786317-101.png


Personally, I hate it. Although it is much more organized for the staff, I would like to see an option to change the name of the codes.  

ummm

y don't u like it

Because:
1. hard to remember
2. When people ask for shield, it's hard to type in the code.  

Yeah the new system isn't that great.  

For head´s or bodie´s it´s ok. But I agree that for shield´s it´s stupid. But I think they won´t change it because this is better for the script to sell them again if you are the owner. Else it would be way more complicated to sell them again or staff would have to do it which would get them more busy and not having time for anything else.  

I would hate to have to do - sethead classic_personal_head_graalXXXXXX-XXX.png. And yes, there needs to be a new system. Say (email without @website.com)-(# higher than 99, say 100, 101, 102, etc) I think that would work out okay, other than you give away your account email. But now, with VIP and the Don't Allow button, who's going to hack someones account that way?  

Bumped.  

They need a way for you to look at codes you've uploaded. You know those #a, #2, #1, etc. codes you can put on a box? They should add a commad like that to view past uploaded customs.  

New Idea Proposed:

Have email in front of all codes, for example:

setshield [email protected]/shield1.png

It will still keep things organized, if that's the purpose of the entire code reconfiguration.  

Or just upload them with the file name you specified..

It used to be like that, they changed it for some reason. I doubt they would revert the changes.

Wouldn't be done for private reasons.

in that case.... i'm out of ideas  

Could do something like:

PHP Code:

function onPlayerChats(){
  if(player.chat.starts("set")){
    temp.tokens = player.chat.tokenize();
    if(temp.tokens[1].starts("personal")){
      switch(temp.tokens[0]){
        case "setshield":
          getShieldFile(temp.tokens[1].substring(8));
        break;
      }
    }
  }
}

function getShieldFile(temp.id){
  player.shield = "Classic_personal_shield_"@player.account@"-"@id@".png";
} 


Then all you'd have to type would be:

setshield personal101

It's not a hard script. Why not have it this way instead of typing out a massive file name?  

So now that they've started charging for shields, they make the shields harder to use?

Wow, that seems backwards.
