I searched up "empireminecraft /mail get all" into google and turned up with nothing and there is nothing about this under already suggested ideas so it looks like I may be clear for this one. My idea is for a "/mail get all" command. Now, using "/mail get all" works in-game, however it only gets you once piece of mail (as if doing /mail get 1). My idea is that "/mail get all" should get you all of your mail that you have, it may seem a very simple idea, in fact it is, but it would be quite benefiting if it were to work in the Empire. This mainly would work for alts, as sometimes I do not go on them for prolonged amounts of time, and end up with a lot of mail from voting and so on. I am sure many others would benefit from this if it was possible. There is not much more to it - tell me what you think and brainstorm your ideas! Fendy
What if, for example, you have 22 pages of mail and you don't have the inventory space for it to be collected?
It may be possible to code in something like what Nether said where it caps at the point in which where your inventory is full:
I have considered suggesting this often. T, Up Arrow, Enter, T, Up Arrow, Enter, T, Up Arrow, Enter, T, Up Arrow, Enter, T, Up Arrow, Enter, ... Gets old quickly if you do not get your mail whenever a message is available. I think Aikar already mentioned in a thread that he checks to see if you have space in your Inventory for items. As long as this runs through the same check it seems like it would work. Maybe a message saying that there was mail that could not be processed for lack of space would help. It would probably complicate things, but we could maybe have the option of specifying a Vault page which, of course, would also have to be checked for available space.
I think a solution to that already exists. If I'm correct, getting mail with a full inventory would have the mail dropped and the items would be locked, so nobody else would be able to pick it up.
Another solution would being able to make a chest with a sign above it [Mail] or something that the mail will go into not sure but its an idea
Aikar already is checking for Inventory space and handling it if there is not enough room: http://empireminecraft.com/threads/misc-changes-2-22-14.36510/#post-697591 All he probably has to do is add the ALL command and make sure it works with opening multiple mail messages instead of just one.
That's still 1. But yes I definitely agree. I'm not sure if getting all the mail is necessarily the best idea in case of inventory overflow and because each mail has a unique title you might miss something important and the average person doesn't know how to check their chat logs. But certainly an ability to get multiple mail at once would be awesome.
