Well, i would like to make a MOTD system..
where, Admin can change it
and players can see the message in a new window when its changed...

var/MOTD 

mob/admin/verb/Message_of_the_Day()
    MOTD=input("What is the new Message of the Day?")as text
    world<<MOTD



That is a simple version for you, from there you can work on that in checking for duplicate entries (as in not posting the same exact thing), looking if it is blank, etc.

Create one then.

Either in the interface (dmf file) or a HTML one.

    alert(world,MOTD)


that will have it be in an Alert box, to have it be in a new window, you could make a customized window using the interface, or have a browser popup and display the message.

// Remember to us <br> to break a line and go further down,
// or else it will all be on the same line!

mob/proc/MOTD_Display()
    var/html="<body bgcolor=black><font color=white><b><u></b></u>[MOTD]</font></body>"
    src << browse(html,"window=Stats;size=270x280") // Controls the size of the box.

mob/verb/View_MOTD()
    set category="Channels"
    src.MOTD_Display()   // Display it when someone clicks the command

Make a verb for the admin. Make it so they can change the MOTD (or another) variable to what they input (MOTD = input...), redisplay it.

I have no idea what that is. A lot of things are possible, its just the route you have to take (aka the journey) that is the hardest, not the goal.

As I said before, I have no idea what you are talking about. If you want gems as objects, then you make objects with the gem name, icon, etc.
