so. basically the front end interaces for shopping (paypal, in game items, and perks) , are all finished.

remaining items now:
-backend item/perk adds
-custom tool.

it will take a few days to fully debug, and implement a system for adding equipment to inventory.

otherwise, we are in the home stretch!

seems small. but really important step.

every action needs to be logged, consistently. the old system does not do this on a consistent basis, and programmers spent lots of time hand coding the lock.

new log supports categories for filtering messages. later on I can add custom expiration times and other things.

lastly, eventually it will be added as a 'toaster' to the top of the page for actions taken. (a toaster means it will pop up briefly at top of page, then disapear)

its also very important for testing scripts as I get down deeper into game features.

during the construction of notifications, I was also able to port over a lot of my code from other projects in different languages to make my life easier.

this is now finished, exept that the merchant id is set to test mode.

I will cut it over after inventory and item adds are finished.
