VPPTSV

2015-03-01T03:42:42Z

Chris: Added more information about the format

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

Propdump format for VP designed with simplicity, flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values tab-separated values] format, it is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds and that is easy to modify. Every object is displayed on a line with the various parameters such as model name and locations separated by tabs, allowing a spreadsheet editor such as Microsoft Excel or [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice Calc] to display these parameters in cells. These can then be modified using the spreadsheet editor or just notepad.

The TSV format is very similar to CSV, with the only difference being that it uses tabs instead of commas to separate values.

== Usages ==

The VPPTSV format could be used to store a small group of objects or as a medium to backup an entire world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when it is necessary to perform some tasks on builds in AW or VP such as isolating builds by a certain citizen, removing builds from before a certain date, or when converting from AW propdumps.

It can make batch modifications to multiple objects a much quicker and easier task in both AW and VP, for instance if one needs to modify each texture on a series of objects or move a build to a different location, this can be done by making use of the math functions available in spreadsheet editors.

As a flexible format, it is indiscriminate against the two styles of rotation available in VP: XYZ and Axis-Angle, the former being used in AW propdumps.

AW propdumps can also be stored in this format.

== File format specification ==
'''''This specification is still a work in progress and may be subject to change.'''''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. This header may have additional parameters. 

Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. Programs creating VPPTSV propdumps should add a line naming each column for people using spreadsheet software or text editors.

== Date & Time Structure ==
The date and time structure should be compatible with most spreadsheet software, allowing the end-user to modify the propdump and perform operations such as removing objects built before a certain date. Due to the use of the DateTime function, there must be tolerance for slight alterations by spreadsheet software, so it is advised that your program will be able to understand various DateTime formats. The culture is an optional part of the header and dates will be parsed using the "en-GB" culture by default in [[Nexus|Nexus Bot]] if none is specified.

The DateTime string can be parsed into a [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx DateTime structure] when programming in a .NET language using the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.parse.aspx DateTime.Parse Method]. This method accepts many date & time formats making it very flexible. When using the [http://vpnet.codeplex.com/VPNet SDK], it is easy to parse the DateTime string directly into a VpObject structure using this method.

If the culture and therefore the date format is different, this must be specified in the header as a parameter, e.g: '''vp propdump tsv1 en-US'''

This culture is only relevant to the date format, decimal points are kept the same. "en-GB" is the default culture format. Users working with spreadsheet software may decide to edit the culture to match the format of date they prefer, while working with the propdump.

The timezone to be used for converting back to a Unix Timestamp when building the propdump is UTC. This keeps the date correct.

== ObjectData Format ==

ObjectData bytes are to be converted to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64]. Conversion to Base64 in .NET can be done using the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dhx0d524%28v=vs.110%29.aspx Convert.ToBase64String] and [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.convert.frombase64string(v=vs.110).aspx Convert.FromBase64String] methods.

Chris: Small changes to protocol to reflect the bot

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

Propdump format for VP designed with simplicity, flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values tab-separated values] format, it is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds and enabling them to be modified. Each object is displayed on its own line, with the various parameters such as model name and location separated by tab, allowing spreadsheet editor to display these parameters in cells.

TSV and CSV files are widely supported by computer programs such as spreadsheet and text editors, making it easy to work with these propdump files.

== Usages ==

The VPPTSV format could be used to store a small group of objects or as a medium to backup a world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when it is necessary to perform some tasks on builds in AW or VP, or when converting from AW propdumps.

It can make batch modifications to multiple objects a much quicker and more convenient task in both AW and VP, for instance if one needs to modify each texture on a a series of objects or move a build to a different location, making use of the math functions available in spreadsheet editors.

As a flexible format, it is indiscriminate against the two styles of rotation available in VP: XYZ and Axis-Angle, the former being used in AW propdumps.

AW propdumps can also be stored in this format.

== File format specification ==
''This specification is still a work in progress and may be subject to change.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. This header may have additional parameters.

== Date & Time Structure ==
The date and time structure should be compatible with most spreadsheet software, allowing the end-user to modify the propdump and perform operations such as removing objects built before a certain date. Due to the use of the DateTime function, there must be tolerance for slight alterations by spreadsheet software, so it is advised that your program will be able to understand various DateTime formats. The culture is an optional part of the header and dates will be parsed using the "en-GB" culture by default in [[Nexus|Nexus Bot]] if none is specified.

The DateTime string can be parsed into a [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx DateTime structure] when programming in a .NET language using the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.parse.aspx DateTime.Parse Method]. This method accepts many date & time formats making it very flexible. When using the [http://vpnet.codeplex.com/VPNet SDK], it is easy to parse the DateTime string directly into a VpObject structure using this method.

If the culture and therefore the date format is different, this must be specified in the header as a parameter, e.g: '''vp propdump tsv1 en-US'''

VPUpdater is designed to enable seamless, automatic updates for VP. Keeping your version up to date with the latest release.

It works by running before the main VirtualParadise program and checking for an update invisibly. If there is an update, it will then ask for confirmation, otherwise it just runs the current version and closes itself. The first time the program runs, it will scan VirtualParadise.exe for the version number, then use its own file ('vp.version') to keep track of the version after each update.

==Installation==

* [http://myvp.biz/downloads/VPUpdater.zip Download VP Updater]

* Place VPUpdater.exe in the same folder as you have VirtualParadise and create a shortcut to it.

* Rename the shortcut to '''VirtualParadise''' or other desired name and use it for running VP. You can then conveniently place it on your desktop or start menu.

* VPUpdater will do the rest. Seamlessly keeping check of the version each time you run VP via the shortcut and giving you the option to download the new version if there is one, before starting Virtual Paradise.

VPPTSV

2014-07-29T04:14:05Z

Chris: /* Sample */

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

Propdump format for VP designed with simplicity, flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values tab-separated values] format, it is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds and enabling them to be modified. Each object is displayed on its own line, with the various parameters such as model name and location separated by tab, allowing spreadsheet editor to display these parameters in cells.

TSV and CSV files are widely supported by computer programs such as spreadsheet and text editors, making it easy to work with these propdump files.

== Usages ==

The VPPTSV format could be used to store a small group of objects or as a medium to backup a world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when it is necessary to perform some tasks on builds in AW or VP, or when converting from AW propdumps.

It can make batch modifications to multiple objects a much quicker and more convenient task in both AW and VP, for instance if one needs to modify each texture on a a series of objects or move a build to a different location, making use of the math functions available in spreadsheet editors.

As a flexible format, it is indiscriminate against the two styles of rotation available in VP: XYZ and Axis-Angle, the former being used in AW propdumps.

AW propdumps can also be stored in this format.

== File format specification ==
''This specification is still a work in progress and may be subject to change.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. This header may have additional parameters. 

Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. 
Lines starting with "O" should also be ignored as they are most likely the optional header, which is to name each field, user friendliness, spreadsheet software.

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

Propdump format for VP designed with simplicity, flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values tab-separated values] format, it is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds and enabling them to be modified. Each object is displayed on its own line, with the various parameters such as model name and location separated by tab, allowing spreadsheet editor to display these parameters in cells.

TSV and CSV files are widely supported by computer programs such as spreadsheet and text editors, making it easy to work with these propdump files.

== Usages ==

The VPPTSV format could be used to store a small group of objects or as a medium to backup a world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when it is necessary to perform some tasks on builds in AW or VP, or when converting from AW propdumps.

It can make batch modifications to multiple objects a much quicker and more convenient task in both AW and VP, for instance if one needs to modify each texture on a a series of objects or move a build to a different location, making use of the math functions available in spreadsheet editors.

As a flexible format, it is indiscriminate against the two styles of rotation available in VP: XYZ and Axis-Angle, the former being used in AW propdumps.

AW propdumps can also be stored in this format.

== File format specification ==
''This specification is still a work in progress and may be subject to change.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. 

Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. 
Lines starting with "O" should also be ignored as they are most likely the optional header, which is to name each field, user friendliness, spreadsheet software.

== Date & Time Structure ==
The date and time structure should be compatible with most spreadsheet software, allowing the end-user to modify the propdump and perform operations such as removing objects built before a certain date. Due to the use of the DateTime function, there must be tolerance for slight alterations by spreadsheet software, so it is advised that your program will be able to understand various DateTime formats. The culture is an optional part of the header and dates will be parsed using the "en-GB" culture by default in [[Nexus|Nexus Bot]] if none is specified.

The DateTime string can be parsed into a [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx DateTime structure] when programming in a .NET language using the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.parse.aspx DateTime.Parse Method]. This method accepts many date & time formats making it very flexible. When using the [http://vpnet.codeplex.com/VPNet SDK], it is easy to parse the DateTime string directly into a VpObject structure using this method.

If the culture and therefore the date format is different, this must be specified in the header as a parameter, e.g: '''vp propdump tsv1 en-US'''

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the [[Prime Minister of Palmshire]], [[First Lord of the Treasury]], and [[Leaders of the Palmshire Socialist Party|Leader]] of the [[Socialist Party]]. He represents [[Pinecrest (Palmshire Parliament constituency)|Pinecrest]] as its [[Member of Parliament]] (MP).

==Political career==
Chris D first entered Palmshire politics when he won the seat representing Catfield borough in the [[Parliament of Palmshire]] following [[Palmshire general election, March 2012|general election of March 2012]]. At first he belonged to the [[Palmshire Communist Party|Communist Party]] led by [[Demon Dog Tenenbaum, 1st Baron Arcadia|Lord Arcadia]]. However, his difference with Arcadia immediately led to his split with the party and he later founded the [[Socialist Party]].

At [[Palmshire general election, June 2012|Next general election in June 2012]], he retained his seat and his party made a gain of one seat in the Parliament, becoming the second largest party in terms of seats in the House of Commons with total of 2 seats. Later, a number of resignations in the Parliament of seats held by Prime Minister [[Brock Tokeington, 1st Baron Tokeington|Lord Tokeington]]'s [[Swag Party|Moose]] led to the slimming of his parliamentary majority to the point where defeat in the House of Commons was imminent, only for the King [[Legion I of Palmshire|Legion I]] to pre-empt this by dismissing Tokeington and his remaining supporters from their offices on 29 August 2012.

The King then called on Chris D that same day to form a new government and he became the new Prime Minister. After abolition of his former Parliament constituency of Catfield, he stood for by-election to the Parliament constituency of Pinecrest and was thus assured his place in the Parliament for 2013 session. In early December 2012, the King offered Chris D a knighthood, a sign of King's favor. He declined on grounds of his modesty and recommended [[Edwin]] instead, which left a deep impression on the King who would not take no for next time. Shortly later, rumors were swirling that Chris D was to be made a Knight of the Bath on New Year's.

Chris: Created and published page from draft.

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

Propdump format for VP designed with simplicity, flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values tab-separated values] format, it is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds and enabling them to be modified. Each object is displayed on its own line, with the various parameters such as model name and location separated by tab, allowing spreadsheet editor to display these parameters in cells.

TSV and CSV files are widely supported by computer programs such as spreadsheet and text editors, making it easy to work with these propdump files.

== Usages ==

The VPPTSV format could be used to store a small group of objects or as a medium to backup a world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when it is necessary to perform some tasks on builds in AW or VP, or when converting from AW propdumps.

It can make batch modifications to multiple objects a much quicker and more convenient task in both AW and VP, for instance if one needs to modify each texture on a a series of objects or move a build to a different location, making use of the math functions available in spreadsheet editors.

As a flexible format, it is indiscriminate against the two styles of rotation available in VP: XYZ and Axis-Angle, the former being used in AW propdumps.

AW propdumps can also be stored in this format.

== File format specification ==

== Date & Time Structure ==
For the end user, most spreadsheet software should be able to understand a standard Date & Time, allowing for the ability to manipulate objects in propdumps based on their date and time, for instance only selecting objects built before a certain date or only selecting objects from a certain date. The date can be flexible and may be altered slightly by some spreadsheet software when performing simple manipulations, so it is advised that your program will be able to understand various DateTime formats.

The DateTime string can be parsed into a [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx DateTime structure] when programming in a .NET language using the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.parse.aspx DateTime.Parse Method]. This method accepts many date & time formats making it very flexible, so it should understand most date and times. When using the [http://vpnet.codeplex.com/ VPNet SDK], it is easy to parse the DateTime string directly into a VpObject structure using this method.

Chris: Rewrote parts of the article

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

Propdump format for VP designed with simplicity, flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values tab-separated values] format, it is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds and enabling them to be modified. Each object is displayed on its own line, with the various parameters such as model name and location separated by tab, allowing spreadsheet editor to display these parameters in cells.

TSV and CSV files are widely supported by computer programs such as spreadsheet and text editors, making it easy to work with these propdump files.

== Usages ==

The VPPTSV format could be used to store a small group of objects or as a medium to backup a world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when it is necessary to perform some tasks on builds in AW or VP, or when converting from AW propdumps.

It can make batch modifications to multiple objects a much quicker and more convenient task in both AW and VP, for instance if one needs to modify each texture on a a series of objects or move a build to a different location, making use of the math functions available in spreadsheet editors.

As a flexible format, it is indiscriminate against the two styles of rotation available in VP: XYZ and Axis-Angle, the former being used in AW propdumps.

AW propdumps can also be stored in this format.

== File format specification ==
''This specification is still a work in progress and may be subject to change.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. 

Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. 
Lines starting with "O" should also be ignored as they are most likely the optional header, which is to name each field, user friendliness, spreadsheet software.

|-
|IM-style private messaging system
|Support for an IM-styled messaging system between users, based on SL and Steam Chat. Messages sent to a user when they are offline would be stored and sent to them when they login, with sent time being displayed next to each line.

The last few chat lines for a user could be shown in the IM window when opened. Chat history could either be stored as a file or stored in client-encrypted form on the server, possibly giving the user the option to choose.
Additional features could be implemented to this chat system, for instance a drag&drop system for transferring images. Dragging an image into the IM window would open a window on the receiving end containing the image.
|Suggested; No action taken yet.
|Some users suggests it be placed as a separate window instead of as a tab.
|-
|Teleports list or equivalent
|Bookmarks for locations throughout the Virtual Paradise universe
|Suggested; No action taken yet.
|
|-
|Inventory System
|Inventory system akin to those found in Second Life and Cloud Party
|Suggested; No action taken yet.
|
|-
|Complete overhaul of the UI
|Redesign the entire UI to be more similar to that of SL and Steam. Make windows that are not currently selected translucent. The entire VP window should be in 3D with the UI overlayed on top, with toolbar icons at the bottom and an optional full-screen mode.

Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values Tab-separated values] format, the VPPTSV format is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds in VP and allowing them to be easily edited. The format takes elements from the C++ programming language but was designed with .NET programming in mind.

Many computer programs support the TSV format, such as spreadsheet and text editor software. This can mean that for the end-user, no additional programs need to be downloaded to edit a propdump.

The format could be used to store a few builds or an entire world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when converting between different formats. By providing a textual representation of objects, it can make modification of multiple objects a much easier task, for instance if a person needs to modify each texture on an object and replace it with a different one.

The format is also indiscriminate of the two styles of rotation available in VP (AW & VP Axis-Angle type) so it can be used as a universal format to store AW backups too.

== File format specification ==
''The specification is still currently a work in progress.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. 

Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. 
Lines starting with "O" should also be ignored as they are most likely the optional header, which is to name each field, user friendliness, spreadsheet software.

Newline is replaced with '''\n''' and tab is replaced with '''\t''' 
Note that the header version may be incremented to 1.1 if a small update is made to the specification, instead of whole numbers (float type). This must be accounted for if your program will be processing the version number. 
Spreadsheet software will recognise the header and comments as part of the table, so there may be tabs after the header line, if the propdump has been edited with such software.

== Sample ==

This can be better visualised in a table using spreadsheet software.

TODO: Colour code the lines to make each section more distinct, how would this be done inside a pre tag?

== Date & Time Structure ==
For the end user, most spreadsheet software should be able to understand a standard Date & Time, allowing for the ability to manipulate objects in propdumps based on their date and time, for instance only selecting objects built before a certain date or only selecting objects from a certain date. The date can be flexible and may be altered slightly by some spreadsheet software when performing simple manipulations.

The DateTime string can be parsed into a [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.aspx DateTime structure] when programming in a .NET language using the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.parse.aspx DateTime.Parse Method]. This method accepts many date & time formats making it very flexible, so it should understand most date and times. When using the [http://vpnet.codeplex.com/ VPNet SDK], it is easy to parse the DateTime string directly into a VpObject structure using this method.

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

A simple propdump format for VP designed with flexibility and user friendliness in mind. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values Tab-separated values] format, the VPPTSV format is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds in VP and allowing them to be easily edited. The format takes elements from the C++ programming language but was designed with .NET programming in mind.

Many computer programs support the TSV format, such as spreadsheet and text editor software. This can mean that for the end-user, no additional programs need to be downloaded to edit a propdump.

The format could be used to store a few builds or an entire world. It could also be useful as an intermediate format when converting between different formats. By providing a textual representation of objects, it can make modification of multiple objects a much easier task, for instance if a person needs to modify each texture on an object and replace it with a different one.

== File format specification ==
''The specification is still currently a work in progress.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. 

Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. 
Lines starting with "O" should also be ignored as they are most likely the optional header, which is to name each field, user friendliness, spreadsheet software.

'''VP Propdump TSV Version 1 (VPPTSV1)'''

A simple propdump format for VP. Based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values Tab-separated values] format, the VPPTSV format is intended to be a universal format for storing the object data of worlds in VP and allowing them to be easily edited. Compatibility with widely available spreadsheet and text editor software mean that no additional programs need to be downloaded. Many computer programs support the TSV format. This is a very flexible format which produces small file sizes and may be altered for different purposes.

The format could be used to store a few builds or an entire world. It could be used as an intermediate format when converting between different formats. By providing a text representation of objects, it can make modification of multiple objects a much easier task, for instance if a person needs to modify each texture on an object and replace it with a different one.

== File format specification ==
''The specification is still currently a work in progress.''

Each line in a VPPTSV file is an individual object, with the data values being separated by tab characters.
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_%28programming%29 magic number] or header which must be the first line is "'''vp propdump tsv1'''". This is used to identify the file format and version. 
Programs parsing the file should ignore lines that start with a hash''' # ''' allowing for comments to be added such as the creation date and world. 
There is an optional heading for each column which is intended to help users identify the value in each column, it should also be ignored by programs parsing the file.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the [[Prime Minister of Palmshire]], [[First Lord of the Treasury]], and [[Leaders of the Palmshire Socialist Party|Leader]] of the [[Socialist Party]]. He represents [[Pinecrest (Palmshire Parliament constituency)|Pinecrest]] as its [[Member of Parliament]] (MP).

==Political career==
Chris D first entered Palmshire politics when he won the seat representing Catfield borough in the [[Parliament of Palmshire]] following [[Palmshire general election, March 2012|general election of March 2012]]. At first he belonged to the [[Palmshire Communist Party|Communist Party]] led by [[Demon Dog Tenenbaum, 1st Baron Arcadia|Lord Arcadia]]. However, his difference with Arcadia immediately led to his split with the party and he later founded the [[Socialist Party]].

At [[Palmshire general election, June 2012|Next general election in June 2012]], he retained his seat and his party made a gain of one seat in the Parliament, becoming the second largest party in terms of seats in the House of Commons with total of 2 seats. Later, a number of resignations in the Parliament of seats held by Prime Minister [[Brock Tokeington, 1st Baron Tokeington|Lord Tokeington]]'s [[Moose Party|Moose]] led to the slimming of his parliamentary majority to the point where defeat in the House of Commons was imminent, only for the King [[Legion I of Palmshire|Legion I]] to pre-empt this by dismissing Tokeington and his remaining supporters from their offices on 29 August 2012.

The King then called on Chris D that same day to form a new government and he became the new Prime Minister. After abolition of his former Parliament constituency of Catfield, he stood for by-election to the Parliament constituency of Pinecrest and was thus assured his place in the Parliament for 2013 session. In early December 2012, the King offered Chris D a knighthood, a sign of King's favor. He declined on grounds of his modesty and recommended [[Edwin]] instead, which left a deep impression on the King who would not take no for next time. Shortly later, rumors were swirling that Chris D was to be made a Knight of the Bath on New Year's.
