IsByondMember() now returns the days remaining on the Membership, just as CheckPassport() does for subscriptions.

Applies to:

DM Language

Status:

Resolved (501.1217)

This issue has been resolved.

Now that BYOND Membership length has been exposed to the public through the forums and member-specific profile pages it's probably a good idea to update IsByondMember().

IsByondMember() is already a CheckPassport() call, which was recently updated to return the amount of days left on subscriptions (-1 for lifetime) I don't imagine a change to IsByondMember() to do the same would be hard. As with CheckPassport() it wouldn't change existing true/false functionality, 0 days is still false, 1+ day is still true, -1 is also true.

NNAAAAHH	I don't really see any use for this- other than giving players ANOTHER reminder of how much time they have left on their memberships.

Kaiochao	Care to share all your other cool ways to get the BYOND Membership time left in a key using DM?

Nadrew	It's actually possible with CheckPassport() now, but I'm not saying how. But it's handy for rewarding people for longer-term memberships :)
