The holder of a Player Housing (PH) door key can be recognized as an owner/co-owner of the Player Housing. The holder of persistent storage (or merchant) keys can be recognized as an owner/co-owner of the persistent storage (or merchant). Please notify Player Housing for '''all key transfers''' between player characters (PM [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing]). Include: PC "floaty" name, GSID and forum name for all key owners.<br>
==Key Holders==


Ownership disputes are resolved by the Avlis team (PM [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26549 Staff]).
Key holders <font color="red">'''MUST'''</font> notify Player Housing for <font color="red">'''ALL'''</font> key transfers between player characters (PM [https://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing] group). Include: PC "floaty" name, NWN:EE player name and Avlis forum name for all key holders.
 
==Rules for Building==
 
"Is it a house?"
The more we deviate from "Yes", the less likely it can get into PH.
-[[User:VoidHamlet|Hamlet]]
 
'''1.0)''' Be mindful of common sense as well as the Avlis [[Rules]]. Examples include: [[Rules:Specific_Rules:Metagaming#Crafting_Recipes|Crafting Recipes]] - do not include such in placeable descriptions. [[Rules:Specific_Rules:Roleplaying_Related#Speaking_for_NPCs|Speaking for NPCs]], ditto speaking for other people's PCs - a statue description incorporating nudity is OK. A statue description dictating how the viewer feels about nudity is not. [[Rules:Specific_Rules:Roleplaying_Related#Sexuality|Sexuality]] - do not involve minors in sexual contexts, in any way.
 
'''1.1)''' The players shall build their houses in accordance with Player Housing Standards.  Failure to follow the guidelines may result in rejection of your Player Housing. 
 
'''1.2)''' If there is something you want in your house but it is not listed here, it is NOT AVAILABLE for Player Housing. The Team grants exceptions on a case by case basis.  Exceptions are granted ONLY before submission, they require prior approval. When an item you wish to include requires PRIOR approval, get PRIOR approval.  Submitting a house and asking for permission afterwards through documentation or PMs, SHALL BE grounds for immediate rejection. 
 
'''1.3)''' No custom items will be accepted for inclusion into the palette.<br>
The exceptions to this rule are guild items and keys.<br>
 
Keys do not have to be key objects, but they are to have no special properties added to them.<br>
 
Guild items fall under their own list of requirements and will not be discussed here.<br> 
 
'''1.4)''' No custom scripts will be allowed for inclusion in player housing. However, there is a base set of scripts supplied (see section ''3'' below); feel free to use these. 
 
'''1.5)''' All Player Housing scripts (section ''3.1, 3.2'' and ''3.3'') shall be added to player housing by the player. Failure to do so will result in rejection of your Player Housing.
 
'''1.6)''' '''Building Requirements'''
 
* '''DO NOT''' leave keys in chests or on the floor. A DM will deliver your key(s) to you once your house has been imported.
* '''No heartbeat based scripts will be allowed.''' Heartbeat scripts can be found on many items, especially CEP items.  Any item that performs an action or moves, should be checked for heartbeat scripts.  Examples: candles with flames, wall sconces, hanging chandeliers, CEP placeable gates (metal gates), etc.
* '''Remove all OnDeath event scripts''' from all doors.
* '''Remove OOC lock property''' - CEP placeables and some NWN placeables will automatically adopt the Lock property when made usable. Remove it where inappropriate. Examples: chairs, benches, cushions, paintings & other wall hangings, musical instruments, bucket, hourglass, etc.
* '''Remove all treasure scripts''' from any containers and make any containers that you don't plan on using Static. Containers include boxes, chests, cabinets, loot bags, etc. Basically anything that is usable by default.
'''Note:''' Some custom placeable appearances become opaque when set to Static. eg: "Alchemy, {namespace}",  "Arcana, {namespace}", "{Gemstone}" (Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire). Please uncheck the Static checkbox.<br>
 
'''1.7)''' '''NPCs Requirements'''
 
Any NPC added to Player Housing is to have a CR of no higher than 1/8.<br>
 
You can review the current requirements on NPC hirelings [[Talk:Rules:Player_Housing|here]].<br>
 
Player Housing NPCs will leave a corpse when killed.<br>
Bioware Merchants are excluded from all Player Housing projects, although some exceptions have been made to crafting guilds.<br>
 
'''Required NPC Statistics:'''
<pre style="white-space: pre-line">Ability Scores: No greater than 10. If the NPC had lower then 10, do not up the score to 10.
Classes: Must be Commoner, Level 1.
Skills: NPCs can have NO Skills.
Advanced: Faction: Commoner.
Feats: NPCs can have NO Feats.
Spells: NPCs can have NO Spells.
Special Abilities: NPCs can have NO Special Abilities.</pre>
 
Exception: A [[Ranger]] or [[Druid]] may retire their [[Companion_Training_System|CTS]] companion as an NPC with Level 1 of its Class (Animal, Magical Beast, Outsider, etc.)
Any spells, [[nwn:Spell-like_ability|spell-like abilities]] and [[nwn:Area_of_effect|Area of Effect]] feats will be removed from this type of NPC. For any other exceptions, PM [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing].
 
'''1.8)''' Player Housing is not to be linked to any special areas (e.g. areas feat. hostile spawns or rare crafting resources, areas such as temples, other NPC property, other [[Guilds|Guild]] or Player Housing) without prior approval of the Avlis team.
 
'''1.9)''' Player Housing is not to restrict access to existing parts of modules (e.g. you cannot put a fence around your favourite tree that you can only get to the inside of from your house).
 
'''1.10)''' Magic portals are not allowed in Player Housing. Module (server) transitions are not allowed either.
 
'''1.11)''' A house may consist of a maximum of 5 different areas.<br>
 
This may be extended to a maximum of 10 if and only if your have prior approval from the Avlis team.<br>
 
An area is not a room or section of the house, it is an area as listed in the toolset.
 
'''1.12)''' Plants that produce crafting placeables are NOT allowed in single Player Housing.<br>
 
Exceptions may be considered for Avlis guilds.<br>
 
Before including any plants '''send a PM with subject title Player Housing''' to  [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing] to make sure your guild qualifies.<br>
 
All requests will be handled on a case by case basis.  A list of some (but not all) of the plants that are '''NOT''' allowed in guildhalls are below:
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-line">Guilds are not allowed to include Player Housing guildhalls any plant that spawns the following items.
 
Marrowroot
Angel's Tears
Bleeding Heart Bloom
Desert Lilly
Glowing Mold Spores
Gray Moss Bud
Golden Lotus
Mountian Rosebud
Belladonna
Plantain Leaf
Silver Mushroom
Cactus Bloom
Stinging Nettle
Stonebush Bean
Timmane's Bulb
T'Nanshi Creeper
Yarrow Bloom
Wintermint</pre>
 
'''Note:''' This list is not exhaustive. If something is not on this list it does not necessarily mean you are allowed to have it, - it just means there is a higher chance you will be.<br>
 
'''1.13)''' Lowering the statistic of any placeable, where it is IC-ly appropriate, costs as much as increasing that same stat the same amount of points.
 
'''1.14)''' Any OOC cost-saving measures shall be considered a form of cheesing.
 
Any OOC attempt to lower housing costs is not permitted and grounds for immediate rejection of your Player Housing.
 
'''1.15)''' Any attempt to sneak things past the Avlis team will result in a PERMANENT ban from Player Housing and potentially Avlis. 
 
'''1.16)''' The rule that applies to characters sharing inn rooms also applies to Player Housing. See: [http://avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=34598 Avlis Policy on Sharing Inn Rooms] <br>
 
No player may have more than one character that shares a player house.<br>
 
In situations where the player house is a guild hall, a player may have more than one character in the same guild, PROVIDED that persistent storage (of ANY form) is NOT shared in the Guild Hall. The only exception to this is where permission is explicitly granted by the Avlis team in a PM or email you can produce if asked for and verified.
 
'''1.17)''' Once imported, Player Housing can be edited a maximum of three times a year for revisions. Fixing bugs that were not your fault does not add towards this total.
 
All revisions on imported Player Housing must be made on .erf-s exported from Avlis itself.  To obtain an exported .erf file from Avlis, send a PM to [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing].
 
Revisions made on original (pre-imported) versions, or anything other than an Avlis exported .erf file will not be accepted. There are no exceptions.
 
'''1.18)''' Player Housing may only use the haks and content that are currently on each server. New haks will not be added for any housing. The haks, in the correct order, are:
 
==Haks==
'''Avlis Base Haks''':
<pre style="white-space: pre">avlis_ext_9
avlis_ext_8
avlis_ext_7
avlis_ext_6
avlis_ext_5
avlis_ext_4
avlis_ext_3
avlis_ext_2

avlis_tilet1_v2
avlis_tilet2_v1</pre>
 
and the '''copaptlk_4_9c.tlk''' in the tlk section.<br>
 
You '''must''' make sure you add the latest CoPaP .tlk file. This is also added in the custom content tab of the module properties, slightly below the hak list.<br>
 
Submit your house (as an .erf file in .ZIP or .RAR format) by uploading it and a filled out housing cost spreadsheet (both in the same .zip or .rar file) via email to '''avlisplayerhousing@hotmail.com'''<br>
 
'''1.22)''' These rules can and will be bent in special circumstances, and many existing player houses are grandfathered with regards to some of these rules. Just because someone else has something, do not expect to get it yourself.
 
'''1.23)''' Pricing, rules or conditions may be changed at any time by the Avlis team.
 
==Pricing==
 
'''2.1)''' The final price for any piece of Player Housing is at the discretion of the Avlis team. What is presented here is a guide, and many things may affect the final price.
 
'''2.2)''' All persistent storage containers are automatically priced out in the cost spreadsheet upon selecting their type. Non-plot persistent storage is not currently accepted.
 
'''2.3)''' If you wish to have a plot door, then it costs a flat 120,000. If you wish to have a plot placeable, then it costs a flat 5,000 GP.
 
Plot door: Do '''not''' price out the component parts in the spreadsheet, just flag "Door/Special" in the spreadsheet drop-down menu and enter "Plot" in all fields.
 
Plot placeable: Do '''not''' price out the component parts in the spreadsheet, just flag "Plot Placeable" in the spreadsheet drop-down menu.
 
'''2.4)''' If you are using a non-plot door/placeable with its default statistics (no modifications, no key), do '''not''' include it in the cost spreadsheet.
 
'''2.5)''' For any modifications to a non-plot door/placeable, price out each of the 4 components (hardness, fortitude, HP, Lock DC) in the cost spreadsheet. When pricing out HP, divide the number of HP by 10 (rounding down), and use that number to enter in the cost spreadsheet.
 
If you wish a non-plot door/placeable to be key-only, enter "Key Only" under Lock DC in the cost spreadsheet. The cost for this feature is 10,000 GP. You still have to pay for the other components of the non-plot door/placeable.
 
'''2.6)''' The cost of plants that spawn crafting items varies depending on a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, the scarcity of the plant, and the difference between the normal growing conditions and the conditions where you wish to place it. The plants will have the same re-spawn rate as those that are found in the wild.
 
'''2.7)''' Player-owned inns are not available to everyone. However, if you do get permission to implement one, there are additional costs involved. Do not expect to make a return on your investment for 18-24 months minimum.
 
The requirements for purchasing an Inn are:
* Must not be on the "Watch list"
* Must have been playing on Avlis at least 6 months
* Must have general approval of the DM staff
* Must build a new inn (existing ones are not for sale)
* Must Not have a profit of more than 80% (so as to depict the expenses and staff payments)
 
'''2.8)''' Similarly, [[Alteration Machines]] are typically only available for guilds - if permitted, they cost 1,000,000 gp. No need to price out the models separately.

'''Note:''' Unlike traps placed by players, it is not possible to have traps that recognize the house owner, any trap you buy for housing will be set off by everyone.  Traps can ONLY be permanent, they cannot be recoverable. This requires ALL traps to be set as Undisarmable.<br>
 
====Persistent Storage Pricing====
'''Types of Persistent Containers available:'''
<br>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">An EP-Chest is a text based system that stores items. All storage containers have True-Persistence, meaning that any alterations made to items (dyed clothing, Kimli's protective alterations, changes to the clothing through BioWare or CoPaP crafting) remain, even after server reset. Off-world items do not vanish in these chests after server reset, either.</pre>
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">
1. EP-Chest&nbsp;(Fixed): This is the standard persistent storage chest available.
- All items are listed alphabetically.
- These containers must be plot.
- Key is optional (chest can be open to all).
- Menu pages are infinite on a fixed EP-Chest.
- Storage capacity (number of squares) is fixed at 875. You cannot upgrade a fixed EP-Chest.
- Cost:&nbsp;75,000&nbsp;gold for an EP-Chest&nbsp;(Fixed).</pre>
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">2. EP-Chest&nbsp;(Expandable): This storage is best utilized for large inventories, like the storing of crafting components. However, it can be used as a normal storage chest for smaller inventories, too.
- All items are listed alphabetically.
- Chest must be plot and key&nbsp;locked, no variation allowed.
- Initial storage capacity is 400 squares of storage, and infinite menu pages (or any number of different items).
- Storage capacity (number of squares) can be bought up in-game, in increments up to infinite capacity:
  +200&nbsp;squares of storage =&nbsp;40,000&nbsp;gold.
  Unlimited&nbsp;storage (squares) =&nbsp;1,120,000&nbsp;gold.
- Cost:&nbsp;150,000&nbsp;gold for a base EP-Chest&nbsp;(Expandable).</pre>
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap">3. Donation&nbsp;EP-Chest: A variation of the EP-Chest&nbsp;(Expandable) text based storage system. It has the same capabilities as the EP-Chest&nbsp;(Expandable), but also allows anyone to deposit (drop in) items without a key.
- Any player may place an item into the chest.
- ONLY the character with the right key can SEE and REMOVE the items in the chest.
- Chest must be plot, not locked and not relockable (no key tag assigned - send that information in the submission PM details below), no variation allowed.
- Initial storage capacity is 400 squares of storage, and infinite menu pages (or any number of different items).
- Storage capacity (number of squares) can be bought up in-game, in increments up to infinite capacity:
  +200&nbsp;squares of storage =&nbsp;40,000&nbsp;gold.
  Unlimited&nbsp;storage (squares) =&nbsp;1,120,000&nbsp;gold.
- Cost:&nbsp;150,000&nbsp;gold for a base Donation&nbsp;EP-Chest.</pre>

As of 2021, text-based chest such as those listed above can have the display property. This does not incur an additional cost. In your Player Housing submission, make note as to which chests you would like to have set as display. If you would like to add the display property to an existing text-based chest, again make a note to that end.
 
=====Conversion of Legacy Storage to Text Based=====
 
'''How to request it:''' Submit a Player Housing Update as usual. If storage conversion is all you need, just send a forum message to [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing] instead.
 
'''How it works:''' A new storage container is created (choose one from the available Persistent Containers list above). The old container is temporarily left in place so that item migration can take place ([[IG]]). It is then removed from the module.
 
'''How much does it cost:''' It's free. If you got an expandable P-Chest, it will begin with half the storage of a fixed one. In that case, contact a member of the [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26559 Assist DM] staff in advance (BEFORE you begin moving items). To get back to the legacy storage capacity, the Assist DM will upgrade the storage chest for you (add 200 pages, 3 times).

==Submission process==
 
'''4.1)''' You are to design your own house or find someone to do it for you.
 
'''4.2)''' Submit your house as a .rar file containing your house .erf file and a filled out housing cost spreadsheet via email to '''avlisplayerhousing@hotmail.com''' <br><br>
Please label the .rar file as follows: '''PH_<Avlis Board Name>_<Server>_<House Name>_<MMDDYY>'''<br><br>
EXAMPLES:<br>
PH_CPU_Mikona_JanusHouse_092904.rar
 
PH_Katroine_Wilderness_Gracie'sArtistsAbode_042210.zip
 
PH_Arandil_LeOr_QuicksilversBarracks_010110.rar
 
PH_GreyLynx_LeOr_GreenTowerGuildHouse_072390.rar<br>
<br>
In the case where one player builds for another, the Avlis board name shown in the file emailed shall be the point of contact for that property. Player Housing will not act as a coordinator between players.
 
'''4.3)''' Then send a PM to [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing] confirming email has been sent. The PM is to contain information regarding your request, including which placeables you wish to be usable for crafting, which items you want to be persistent or plot, which keys you wish to work for which doors/placeables, and where you want it to be located. Include this same information with the actual submission itself. If anything is unclear from your PM it will delay your request.
 
'''4.4)''' Once your house has been submitted, Player Housing will get back to you with any cost adjustments (eg. you filled the spreadsheet incorrectly) and any changes that may be required.
 
'''4.5)''' Once your house has been finalized, it is submitted for import and will get included in the module of your choice when it is next updated.
 
'''4.6)''' Housing keys will not be given until the housing cost is paid in full.
 
===Revisions===
 
'''4.7)''' If you are planning a Player Housing update, please request the current areas from the module first (contact  [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing]).
 
'''4.8)''' Please mark the update submission as such. eg. append "U1" or "Update1" to the file name, if this is your 1st update.
 
'''4.9)''' For the cost spreadsheet of a Player Housing update:
 
When submitting a revision for an existing house you use a blank housing spreadsheet.
Enter the previous housing cost in the section provided and check YES for the update section.
Add ONLY the new additions/modifications to the spreadsheet.
 
==Naming standards==
 
'''5.1)''' '''Area naming standards'''
 
'''5.1.1)''' All area tags and resrefs must be identical (case insensitive) for any given area. eg. if an area has a tag ''CoB_MainHall'' the resref for this area must be ''cob_mainhall''. The easiest way to do this is when you are creating an area, give it the desired tag as a name. This will set the tag and resref up correctly, and it is easier to change the name later than it is to try and change the resref.
 
'''5.1.2)''' The tag/reserf for each area must be unique and specific to your housing. The easiest way to do this is to prefix them with something logical. eg. ''Cave'' is bad, ''Raven_Cave'' is good. the most descriptive the prefix is the better.
 
'''5.1.3)''' Where possible all area names are to be prefixed with the name of the building. eg.''2nd floor'' is bad,''Featherfingers Trading: 2nd floor'' is good. If you wish to create an area that is not named in this way, then include your reason for not following this standard in the spreadsheet you submit with your housing. Exceptions to this standard will include things like secret entrances.
 
'''5.1.4)''' All doors inside Player Housing that connect up to external areas shall have TAGS named with the following standardization: ''DR_UniqueName_I'', where UniqueName is a personalized and wholly unique tag for the door. (i.e., do not type: UniqueName)
 
If you have external areas in your Player Housing that connect up through a door to internal areas, the external door shall be named with the following standardization: ''DR_UniqueName_O'', where UniqueName is a personalized and wholly unique tag for the door. (i.e., do not type: UniqueName)
 
'''5.2)''' '''Item naming standards (keys and guild items)'''
 
'''5.2.1)''' The tag and resref of any given item must be identical (case insensitive). The easiest way to do this is when creating the item, give it the desired tag as a name. You can then edit it to change the name to something nicer.
 
'''5.2.2)''' The tag of all guild '''leader''' items must start with ''SI_'' and must have the correct variables attached as shown in the [http://avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=12068&postorder=asc&start=33 Guidlines for making guild items] forum thread.
 
'''5.2.3)''' The tag of all non-leader guild items must start with ''Gld_U_''.
 
'''5.2.4)''' The properties an values on guild items must be those allowed, as shown in the [http://avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=12068 Guidlines for making guild items thread.]
 
'''5.2.5)''' The tag of all Player Housing keys must start with ''Key_''.
 
'''5.2.6)''' All items are to be named in such a way that they are easy to identify which house they belong to. eg. ''Room key'' is bad, ''Key of Green'' is fine, ''Anspach residence: Room key'' is good.
 
'''5.2.7)''' All items must be marked plot, and must '''not''' be marked as undroppable.
 
'''5.2.8)''' All keys must contain no additional properties.
 
'''5.2.9)''' All keys must be located is the '''Special 2''' section of the palette.
 
'''5.2.10)''' All guild items must be located is the '''Special 5''' section of the palette.
 
==Archivals==
 
Existing housing for players inactive for 3 years may be withdrawn from the live modules & archived. All players (exception banned accounts) will receive 3 months notice. The housing can be re-instated upon player(s) return; contact [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=7056 Player Housing].
 
The Player Housing staff welcomes early notifications of character retirement, associated property archival requests and other arrangements. See also: [[Rules:Player_Housing#Ownership|Ownership]] for any and all key transfers.
 
Premade housing abandoned for 1 year will be re-keyed. Last known owners will receive 1 month notice. On re-key, old storage will be placed in OOC area, so that the player can retrieve their items with DM assistance (PM: [http://www.avlis.org/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&g=26559 Assist DM]).
