Ok I've got a suggestion for some new commands for Dark Basic that would save us time and get annoying timewasters off our hands.

1: Make MMORPG object number,size,xpos,ypos,zpos
2: Make FFVII object number,size,xpos,ypos,zpos
3: Make BestGameEver object number,size,xpos,ypos,zpos
4: Make PS2Game object number,size,xpos,ypos,zpos
5: Make Patch4 object number,size,xpos,ypos,zpos
6: Make ForumEditButton object number,size,xpos,ypos,zpos

What do u guys think?

Cheers KG

Surely just a

REDIRECT FORUM_POSTS TO BLITZCODER.COM FORUM (Moronic Parameter)

would solve it?

We desperately need

MAKE NEW USERS READ REPLY BEFORE POSTING ANOTHER QUESTION THAT WAS ALREADY COVERED BY REPLY

and

MAKE NEW USERS TRY SNIPPET POSTED IN REPLY BEFORE ASKING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY IN SNIPPET

Ok they are a bit long but they would safe lots of time.

@Soyuz

I wouldn't use that command, I find it conflicts with the PULL GIRLFRIEND and MAKE MISTRESS FROM SECRET GIRLFRIEND commands.

but it goes so well with the

GET REGULAR NOOKIE( times_per_day ) and
HOUSE CHORES( quality_of_work) functions which i think are better...

only problem is the Regular Nookie one seems to be time based function - runs out after 2 years and then you only get a more limited version of "times_per_week"

perhaps i need to upgrade to get this extended

Maybe DB Ltd should have a FAQ with all the questions most asked on it, at least it would avoid people asking them again =)

"only problem is the Regular Nookie one seems to be time based function - runs out after 2 years"

I released Jetpac under a divorceware license and this has resolved that issue. Try updating your wife() function, it is much better than the handChaff() function.

How about this for a new DB function.

function egoBoost(companyName$,vacancy$,annualRemuneration as real)
if annualRemeneration>0
call dll "internet","emailneumaticDryll"
else
postOnForum "DBPro/Team Requests","I am writting an MMORG and need an l337 team including "+vacancy$+". I am "+companyName$+" and I am lots of people and I have lots of cash but only when the game is done. You get paid fair."

I think there should be a Worship command

WORSHIP(who$,time,duration,listOfSacrifies$)

I think we all know who$ defaults to...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

@Toady

Yes, we know who it is supposed to default to, but due to a bug in the current version who$ defaults to "msibly_blitzrsrchltd".

Seriously though, I think EdzUp's suggestion was a good idea, maybe Rich should get onto it.
