Re: Fix Store/Chat sells alert timing

Chat is driven by javascript, which runs in your browser. If you have timestamps turned on, it will grab your computer's time and add it to the chat messages as they are displayed (ie. the date/time is whatever date/time the message displays). Store logs, however, are generated by the server, so all...

Re: NPCs on Leaderboards

Heh, it amuses me, that's all. Non-coders imagine that, because something applies in one area and it's in some ways a bit similar, that it's really easy to "just" pick up a piece of code and stick it in somewhere else to make it work. With tape or something. In fact, often these apparently simple ch...
