Add personal message to /gift?
« on: 7 Aug 2016, 16:18:34 »
Might it be possible to add a personalized message to sent gifts, instead of the default "player sent you a gift!" message? 

It would be nice to be able to include a note like "I know you like these" or "your share of the loot" or "in return for all the stuff you lent me" or something that adds context and a bit of fun to the gift.

Perhaps this could take the form of /gift (player) (message) or something similar?  And then the message could take the place of the default mail message that gets sent.

Would anyone else find this useful, or is this another just-me thing?

I'd really enjoy seeing something like that in place. Makes it unnecessary to have to type in /mail send (message) separately if the person who is receiving the gift is offline and miss out on the context.

Example: Gift from adam5979: "Here's the pickaxe you ordered."

Of course, maybe implement it like this:
After putting in the items into the gift chest/inventory, then a message will pop up, asking if you want to write a message along with the gift before sending it. Then type either /yes and write the message, or /no. After that, it'll send out the gift.

This is a great idea! I feel stupid for it not being an option initially, it's definitely something we can add.

I'll get round to adding this as soon as possible, keeping in mind lots of other things are also to come. If you want to see it worked on sooner you can vote for it at https://www.noobscraft.com/work/full/gift-message/.

Thanks for adding this to the work list!  Don't worry, I realize there's a lot going on with the updates already planned, plus all the admin changes.

It's actually pretty impressive that Noobstown not only has a roadmap, but that so many of those things get implemented....I've dealt with major software vendors whose track records weren't that good!
