Party SP command and buff :D

[GM-Garr]

This is an interesting system, and I think it's plausible to do it, wiggling around some client limitations (for example, each name has a 24 character limit [actually 23 meaningful + 1 NULL terminator]).

But there are some questions I'd like to hear about:

SP thing is pretty much straightforward, so not much questions there.

Now, for buffs. General concept that I know of is using 5 letters:
B - Blessing
A - Agility Up
F - (Full) Chemical Protection (Depends on config, I've seen several)
S - Soul Link
+ - Devotion

Here comes the question: are these all that's needed? For example, we can remove something and add some buff instead. Example would be Kyrie Eleison/Assumptio. Or just remove. Or just add. While I haven't even started (and even after I do it'll be plausible to change that). So this needs to be thought out.

Second, since all symbols will take up valuable character name space, there needs to be 2 things considered:

1) Both views can't be activated at once. Period.

2) There are character names that will be longer than that 23 char limit with that addition, so they'll need to be truncated, at least. So will need to know how to truncate, aka what character will indicate truncation. … and ~ are 2 options that are commonly used.

That's pretty much all I could thing of now before even starting to check things out in code, I'm pretty certain more question will come when I do.
