Doorbells?

[Talapus]

How about a doorbell or a big iron knocker or something? You build it inside of a room like a lock, and whenever someone knocks on that door, it gives the "some one has knocked on the door to Blah" message in every room in a building. That way it would be possible to not miss someone knocking on the door to your house if you are not in the front room.

That would be interesting. That'd obviously have to be to Prog for the hitting every room part, but resources could do the object. Using something similar, perhaps an intercom at some point could be possible, to allow one to speak into every room of a building with a unit built in it. Eg: someone outside could speak "to" the building or perhaps click an icon and have that privately relayed to each room in the building.

To have this implemented there has to be electricity...

If we have electricity, can we also have lights and such?

[SekoETC]

Not necessarily electricity, Victorian houses had huge systems of bells around the house and strings connected to them, so one could pull a string and the bell would ring in the other side of the house...

[Talapus]

I had suggested one of two things. Either a door bell, or an iron door knocker, like one of those big metal rings that you see attached to doors that you pound to get someone to answer the door. Besides, you should know by now that things that should require electricity don't, like the Alumina refiner.

I'm in favour of the idea. Somehow it wouls also be nize to be able to scream in the house: "JOHN?!?!?!? WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!"

I thought about myself few days ago ;] We have radios, but we have no doorbells. Maybe some wires to conect one doorbell with switch made on some doors? Sure, we can live without it, but this would be neat.

I agree that this should be good.............. we should have it.*Shoes his cat away becous it is scatching him for atention*

I have thought about it. Needs a bit of ProgD input I think but it would be handy to setup.

[Just A Bill]

While progD is looking at this, how about a town wide version of the same, say something like a church bell that could be heard all over town, including all rooms of all buildings. Or for those really big town an air raid siren. I am pretty sure I have seen the idea somewhere before, but this would be a good time to re-address the issue.

I totally love the churchbell idea.

It would greatly encourage festivities...like marketdays...or just religious happenings. It could also be used as a sort of warning system against...pirates for example. ATM it is very likely that the whole town gets slaughtered while you'r in a building and, because you don't need to go out, you wouldn't even realise it until like a cantr year later.

The doorbell idea is great. And yes, it's not hard to implement with the current buildings/rooms structure.
Since the RD has approved the idea, and even suggested it and everything, I'm approving it from the technical point of view.

I like the idea, but maybe the church bell should be possible to build inside.

/Hellzon - the bell, the bell!

Some people works in extensions of buildings just because they are annoyed by door-knocking newspawns. So i suggest that there should be building - bell tower Or at least possibility to make bells inside of buildings. Then creator may decite whether to build bell outside to easy access for everyone or to build inside, where newspawns can access it harder There will be a lot of false alarms... No quite places will be anymore if this idea will be implemented...
