So, adding tonight (we hope) ... RhinoCookies!

Alright, first thanks to ÜberGewei for scripting the stuff needed to this, you da man o/.

What are RhinoCookies?
RhinoCookies is a kind of currency system in TNS which you will be able to use to purchase certain advantages. Maybe they will also serve as a way to record certain players' achievements.

They are intended to be a plus for the players to have fun, items or advantages price will be adjusted in such a way that doesn't break a wad/level intention: the purpose is to have them as a mean of measuring yourself and getting an item eventually that maybe could get you out of a tricky situation.

How can I win RhinoCookies?
For now, you add RCs to your account passively when doing a certain amount of damage to monsters (confirming the exact amount this night) and finding secrets in the map. Idea would be to extend the earning of RCs to more aspects, like surviving as the macho marine, just surviving a map, having the most damage, etc.
RCs are kept between sessions.

What can I buy with RhinoCookies? (This can change)

Even if the system is playable, we agreed in delaying it until further improvements. Perhaps next week!
