Couldnt you just limit the amount of messages sent to the builder/editor to 10 or so, and only certain kind of messages? I could just have it so all things are ignored but from what i do know it wouldnt be that hard to implement this feature. Or if people did or didnt want it i could have it player configurable for each individual with a set maximum not greater than a certain number so too much resources are used up (if it wouldnt use much resources please dont flame me for being stupid, i just assume it would start taking up a lot of memory if there was alot of messages). I also want to know if it would be possible to create similar ques for global channels, ie a player could type "remember gossip 10" and see the last 10 gossips. I assume doing this for tells would take up a lot of memory, even if i only kept track of the last ten i would have to do so for each seperate player. Well if anyone can tell me the best way i could go about doing this i would be very appreciative. Trying to talk me out of it probably wont work :) Thanks, Zero On Mon, 25 Mar 1996, JRhone wrote: > On Mon, 25 Mar 1996, Zero wrote: > > > I dont know if the original sender of the message about queing wether > > events was thinking about this also but it would be helpful to que > > things like tells or gossips when they are editing or something.
