Hello everyone,
I am releasing a complete, production-ready system to integrate the client's Cyclopedia Houses tab with your server and website. This replaces legacy commands like !buyhouse or !sellhouse with a modern, visual, and highly configurable auction system.
Engine & Platform Bases:
- Server Engine: Crystal Server (based on The Forgotten Server 1.4+ / TFS 1.x)
- Client Engine: OTClient Redemption (by Mehah) (using standard Extended Opcodes)
- Website Engine: MyAAC (version 1.8.x) (with Twig template system)
Key Features & Capabilities:
- Visual Interface: Fully integrates with OTClient's Cyclopedia Houses tab, showing city lists, house details (beds, size, rent), and state.
- Proxy Bidding System: Implements eBay-style automatic bidding (proxy bids) where players can input their maximum limit and the system evaluates the winner.
- Server Save Finalization: Leases are finalized gracefully during the next daily Server Save (or reboots), preventing timing issues or game loops.
- Premium Locks: Easily configure premium-only bidding and transfers via simple config variables.
- Auto-Eviction of Free Accounts: Cleans up house ownership if premium time expires for longer than a configurable threshold of days.
- Mail Warnings: Sends automatedStamped Warning Letters to the owner's inbox prior to eviction.
- Website Server Info integration: Displays the current house configuration rules dynamically in MyAAC.
