Details on the new VMK changes

[ElectricLime]

Magic:

- Single-use magic pin support. Single use pins disappear after one use or a specified "expiration date". They can not be combined.

- The three Treasure Keys (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) are actually single-use magic pins. Wear them and activate them like normal magic pins, by double-clicking them or by saying "YoHoBronze", "YoHoSilver", or "YoHoGold". When you activate one (by standing beside the corresponding chest in the Pirates Treasure Room), you might (or might not) win a prize. The three Pirate Maze pieces (Wall, Cannon Wall, Turret) and Turn Into Coral Magic Pin Single Use are only available from the chests; other prizes which have been won are Pirate Throne (Green, Purple, Blue, or Black), 200 Credits, 300 Credits, and 500 Credits.


Quests:

- New "Collectables" quest action. The quest players need to collect the required amount of the specified type (sea shells, trophies, or gas cans), which appear randomly in the room.

- New "Find Multiple Items" quest action. The quest players need to find all the specified items (skulls, atoms, diamonds, horseshoes, clovers, or 50th Mickeys), which the quest designer hides in the room. It's no longer necessary to have, for example, five separate quest steps to find five items in a room.

- You can no longer use non-dictionary words in quest hints.


Trades:

- "Show Trade Requests" preferences option, which can be turned off so that a user won't be bothered by trade requests.

- A small red 'T' icon appears over the head of a person who is trading. It gets pushed upwards to make way for the blue arrow if you click on the person.

- Magic pins now show their star level in profiles and trades.

- When a teleporter is selected in a trade view or a Furnishings view, the square around its matching teleporter lights up.


Misc:

- A player's profile can now display fifteen pins.

- Two new hairstyles ('bald' for boys and 'flip' for girls), and hair can now be pink.

- New "Mod Only" outfits for VMK staff, resembling traditional Disneyland tourguide outfits.

- Discovery Island (which previously had the Kellogg's cereal boxes and the gangplanks from which to try Pirate, Cursed Storm, and Buried in Treasure Magic) has been removed.


There are some other useful changes which are under-the-hood and not visible in the game yet, but I'll wait until the VMK staff decide it's time to announce these.

Do not forget all the new changes in Mansion my friend!

OT: It was nice to see you!

 

[Peacefully]

There are three new hair styles. Two for girls, one for boys.

 

[Spongeblair]

Oh and when creating a new character you get to see new staff uniform.

One usefull item removed.

The ability to sell or trade or place multiples of the same item without clicking back into the selection process. The yellow selector box disappears each time you commit an action. While it use to just move to the next item for faster placements and selling.

Man, talk about a tease!

Could someone sticky this, at least just till the end of the month. I want to have a way to keep track of what everyone's found in the pirate treasure chests, and I'm sure some other people may like to as well.

ElectricLime, can you also add 300 credits as a prize? Both my friend and I won that in silver chest. Thanks!

[ElectricLime]

Added! Thank you!

That was very useful, why did they remove it?

While I myself have not won it I also know that the Black Throne has been won as well

Oh and yeah why did they have to remove the auto-advance thing in inventory. I loved this when selling off the pirate or narnia stuff I accumulated and no longer can do anything with. Please bring it back!
