ELWOOD HAS BROKEN 1K PAYMENT FOR AUTO-CALCULATED TAXES. My broke ass barony has a real income now! Soon we will have a house axe, too!
WE DID IT. Thanks to everyone who helped me keep my chin above water while the numbers were making me sad.
We have a way to go yet, but this was absolutely the hardest part. Making money once you have money is lots easier.the entity previously known as Sunny

So to get back to what @kalakh was talking about, I do think it’s possible to get this in, and I’m going to say it here now: put feature requests on the game’s Github Discussions so there’s a record of it. Like with anything code, though, it would take time to do (summoning @tsar with cat-clock gif).
Okay I did. GO UPVOTE ME.

@IoleRae YES! Great job!

I’m sorry, I’m only allowed to give you attention on Discord, Arx, and FF14. That’s the contract. (On the serious, thank you, so I don’t forget about it.)

Is there a yoke on changing the home property/properties owned by roster PCs when you first take them? If so, what do you do to get things fixed when they’re super broken/misspelled/ugly/etc?
-
You can change their rooms however you want however I would say that if you’re going to make a major layout change you should try to create some RP around the remodeling.
I have a hard time seeing anyone object to fixing bad spelling or ugly formatting either way. Your character should have the power to edit their home room, if it doesn’t make a ticket and staff will probably help you out.

There’s a guide on the Wiki here about how to do it in terms of code, structure, and colouring rules. Plus if you are changing the name then how to change the exits.
Even when I follow it, I end up calling the exit o <o>,o and have to ask staff to fix it.

I mean, I wrote the most of the guide and I still have to like triple-review how I typed out the potential new exit because yeah

@JKER It’s not. I’m keeping the original design, just fixing spelling and tense and adding one new animal-based outbuilding. There’s nothing in the descriptions for the actual housing at all, so I think they split before they finished it.
I can’t get the descriptions I put in to stay, it always gives me the positive message that it’s going to change then reverts to the original. Also, the second room of the property has no owner.

I haven’t had to build anything for awhile, but I think you have to like enter twice for a room descrip to take - I may be misremembering. Like, it’s all ‘this is how it will look - if you like it, repeat the command’ or something. If it doesn’t stick after THAT, then yeah - may have to ping staff. If I’m even right about the above, which

Yeah, it may be a case of asking you to re-enter a second time to confirm.

It may also be fighting with a seasonal description. I think if a seasonal one is set, that will generally take precedence.
For the room without ownership, you’d have to put in a request to staff, there’s not a way player side to fix that.
ETA: I’d also suggest getting live help on the Info channel might be helpful for you, since you can go into more detail and people can help more specifically.

Just to touch on the above, YES, it does take enter + enter again to confirm, like most things in Arx, and I got that bit right.
THIS though, THIS is interesting because yes, there are seasonal descriptions so I’ll go look at those when I wake up, and I’ll drop a line to staff about the ownership on the other empty room. Thank you!

Every time I’ve looked at Arx nobody on roster appealed to me, and apparently, there is no way to make your own character anymore. Or at least there wasn’t when last I looked.
-
@Mourne OC creation has been off for awhile. I’m sorry the roster is so full of drek, it is my deep regret that I could not personally fix this by generating 10,000 PCs.
-
@Mourne Yeah, it can be tough finding something appealing right now. But most characters have a lot of flexibility in them, so if you find someone that makes you think “this would be great other than X” it may be possible to solve that (depending on X, of course). That’s my best advice - it took me a couple months to find my last roster character.

So there is also the SECRET HARD MODE roster. Someone else can find the bb post, but there is a list of characters that have had a tendency to get picked up and rostered shortly because people couldn’t figure out what to do or how to get involved or secret was too complicated.
They do not show up on the Available, Unavailable, or Deceased list, but do show up on family and org lists, if you feel like combing though those instead of checking the bb.

That doesn’t sound like a good idea for someone new to the theme

@Mourne You can also go on and ask for help on the Guest channel. Say “I would like to play something like XYZ, does anyone have ideas of a character that would fit that?” It’s what I did and Aleksei recommended Eleanor and I’ve had her for five years. Thanks, pal!
