    • There is now a CoMayor limit that matches your town size
      • Village = 0 comayors
      • Town = 1 comayor
      • City = 2 comayors
      • Metro = 3 comayors
    • Fixed the bug where SetMayor was incorrectly setting you as king in some situations
    • The minimum distance between towns during town creation has been doubled (320 - larger if in kingdom)
      • the distance for plot claiming remained the same (160 - larger if in kingdom)
    • Plot marking now adheres to the standard town distance (currently 160 blocks). It doesn't care if you're in a kingdom.

    Also did some changes to /t info to shorten and condense it a bit. Thanks to @Sephronia for the help.

    Changes are as follows.
    First line - Town and Kingdom name.
    Second line - Town Balance, Plot and Max Plots.
    Fourth line - CoMayors rank added.
    Seventh line - 'Creation Date' has been changed to 'Created'.
    Ninth line - Mob Spawning is now 'On' or 'Off'.
    Tenth line - Portal Town Page link no longer has http. A simple imdeity.com/portal/town link used instead.

    The lists of names is currently missing the comma between names but that has been noted for correction.

    When we do /t info or /t info townname now, we get an error: An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command

    There was an issue with players losing inventory going from main to mine. As a temp fix we rolled back the API plugin for both worlds. This caused a handul of minor problems on the main world, one of which being /t info.

    Both worlds have been updated so all should be well now.

    What if a town such as skyhold has a Mayor and 4 co-mayors ( 4 districts ) how would that go about happening, as we have had 4 co-mayors and a mayor since the day the town was created?
    Seeing how we didn't know this 'limit' was gonna happen

    Either the limit for Metropolis can be changed to 4 if you are nice to Deity and Btarb, or the least-active Comayor will be demoted to Senior Assistant :)


    How does this work for villages, does old Mayor get demoted to Sr.Asst when promoting new Mayor?

    The reasoning in this post confuses me. Would you have only had 3 districts if you knew ahead of time that the limit was going to be 3?

    Anyway, the plan is to go through and manually demote excess comayors based on most recent online time. Comayor is more of an honorary title than a functional one. Before comayors existed, towns would run districts just fine as senior assistants. If you really want all of your district heads to have the same rank then you could demote them all to senior assistant so that they match. They wont lose any worthwhile commands.. and at the senior assist level they're able to be craftsman/merchant if they want. It's really not a big deal ;)

    The intention is that the former mayor would become a senior... however i'll need to double-check this. You may have preemptively discovered a bug :)

    It looks like you have confused comayor with senior assistant this whole time? SkyHold only has 1 mayor and 0 comayors. (not my doing).

    Skyhold has had a "mayor" for each district since the beginning of the map. Since there's always been a limit, some of their district "mayors" have been Sr Assistants this whole time. Rihue confused :)

    not confused we only have not promoted anyone to 'co-mayor' because you could only claim one "mayors" salary with the noble pay so everyone was kept at sr assistant but skyhold does have 4 co-mayors. just none listed as them in game. If the salary's have been changed then i would push xplo to promoting people to co-mayors but would be almost useless if we are limited to 3 co-mayors

    the 'Actual' comayors are Myself (rihue) Bcc_chicago, Blackreign_mm and Wazler. just to clear anything up.

    just wondering if it is at all possible to add one more co-mayor into the the town staff. Just incase you have towns like Skyhold who want to do the 4 district idea with a mayor and 4 co-mayors (one for each district)

    Na, i don't think that's necessary. Things line up nicely with giving 1 comayor per town level.
