Awesome, please do; I doubt this is a mechanic that would have changed.Hiram wrote:I remember NOT being able to open doors while banned, but I seem to remember being able to be adjacent to the steps but if I attempted to open the door it would kick you to the ban location.
Edit: I can try this on OSI when I get home perhaps.
a space between the player and the steps may exist when the individual gets ejected initially, but there is nothing in your reference to suggest that you cannot move a tile closer towards the steps once you have been banned, nor is there anything to suggest that you shouldn't be able to open the house doors.Faust wrote: No one ever said that it did.
My concern was never with the way a banned player's location was changed when attempting to walk over a banned region. It was only the outer layer of the steps that functioned as part of the "banned region" that disallowed them to open doors. The argument was that the default ban location that they move to is "3 tiles" from the door meaning a space in between the steps and the player ALWAYS exist. Seems odd that they would put them in between that space if it didn't react as part of the banned region in my opinion.

this reference does not mention anything regarding the original post.Housing Update Phase 3 Dec 21 1998 1:48PM - http://wiki.uosecondage.com/?title=1998_Patch_Notes wrote: Ban works exactly as "add a friend" does, except it bans.
Any house friend may use this command.
Banning will also eject the character from the house, to three tiles from the door.
You cannot ban a friend of the house.
A message explaining what happened is given to the victim.
There is a limit of 50 bans.

Wait, no one ever said so? You mean YOU did not say that it did? Do you even read what you yourself post?Faust wrote:Again, no one ever said that it did.
Faust wrote:Banned players are not suppose to be able to open the house doors
That's YOU saying what you just said nobody ever said.Faust wrote:The tiles around the front steps of a house should also forcefully be ejecting banned players from a house.
so what is it that should be changed exactly?Faust wrote:The tiles around the front steps of a house should also forcefully be ejecting banned players from a house.

Reading does wonders.Faust wrote:Develop a discussion on the topic to see if anyone else remembers it.
On a (semi)-related note, this patch note makes it seem as if, when banned, the character should be thrown back a few steps from the house. Iirc, having been banned from quite a few houses in my time here, currently, one is moved to the eject location, which seems to be what the UOR patch note implemented.Kaivan wrote:This line item from the UOR Patch Notes shows how players who attempt to enter a house they are banned from was handled differently from that point forward:
UOR Patch Notes wrote:House Banning
The effect of being banned from a house will change slightly. When a player, monster, animal, or NPC is banned from a house and approach the door, they will be moved under the house sign (the eject location) rather than bouncing back a couple of spaces.
