My new web-based updater I made for ST2\. I gets news from an html file and supports web scripting. Here's a screenie of what I have so far (NOTE: There's going to be a banner at the top behind the buttons and it is 100% working)
RATE AND COMMENTS PLEASE!!!!!! -
hmm… I was wondering.... What's the easiest way to recode the getplayer___ functions to allow the calling of offline players??
-
hmmm…. I probably should've dumped this into the source section, but this'll show you how to make phase one of the ORS (more to come of course :P)
**ORS Phase 1:** Creating accounts from websites!!!
Things you'll need:
* TE/EE Source
* VB6 to edit the source (Duh!)
* A PHP enabled website (with socket capabilities (damn yahoo! hosting =.=''))
* Be smart enough to use the following code in your site :P
okay first open your server's source in VB6 and go to modServerTCP, sub IncomingData.
Dim these:
```
Dim q As Long
Dim p As Long
Dim count As Long
Dim Imail As String
Dim Name As String
Dim PASSWORD As String
```
and paste these under the two case"top" 's
```
If LCase(Mid(Buffer, 1, 14)) = "newfaccountied" Then
If Not IsLoggedIn(index) Then
q = 14
p = 15
count = 0
Do While q <= Len(Buffer)
Select Case count
Case 0
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
Name = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
Case 1
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
Name = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
Case 2
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
PASSWORD = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
Case 0
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
Imail = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
End Select
q = q + 1
Loop
If Imail = "" Then
Call SendDataTo(index, "You need to fill in your e-mail")
End If
For i = 1 To Len(Name)
n = Asc(Mid(Name, i, 1))
If (n >= 65 And n <= 90) Or (n >= 97 And n <= 122) Or (n = 95) Or (n = 32) Or (n >= 48 And n <= 57) Then
Else
Call SendDataTo(index, "Invalid name, only letters, numbers, spaces, and _ allowed in names.")
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
If Not AccountExist(Name) Then
Call AddAccount(index, Name, PASSWORD, Imail)
Call TextAdd(frmServer.txtText(0), "Account " & Name & " has been created.", True)
Call AddLog("Account " & Name & " has been created.", PLAYER_LOG)
Call SendDataTo(index, "Your account has been created!")
Else
Call SendDataTo(index, "Sorry, that account name is already taken!")
End If
End If
Exit Sub
End If
If LCase(Mid(Buffer, 1, 14)) = "newfaccountied" Then
If Not IsLoggedIn(index) Then
q = 14
p = 15
count = 0
Do While q <= Len(Buffer)
Select Case count
Case 0
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
Name = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
Case 1
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
Name = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
Case 2
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
PASSWORD = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
Case 0
If Mid(Buffer, q, 1) = "," Then
Imail = Mid(Buffer, p, q - p)
count = count + 1
p = q + 2
End If
End Select
q = q + 1
Loop
If Imail = "" Then
Call SendDataTo(index, "You need to fill in your e-mail")
End If
For i = 1 To Len(Name)
n = Asc(Mid(Name, i, 1))
If (n >= 65 And n <= 90) Or (n >= 97 And n <= 122) Or (n = 95) Or (n = 32) Or (n >= 48 And n <= 57) Then
Else
Call SendDataTo(index, "Invalid name, only letters, numbers, spaces, and _ allowed in names.")
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
If Not AccountExist(Name) Then
Call AddAccount(index, Name, PASSWORD, Imail)
Call TextAdd(frmServer.txtText(0), "Account " & Name & " has been created.", True)
Call AddLog("Account " & Name & " has been created.", PLAYER_LOG)
Call SendDataTo(index, "Your account has been created!")
Else
Call SendDataTo(index, "Sorry, that account name is already taken!")
End If
End If
Call CloseSocket(index)
End If
```
okay that's all for the source, now for the php.
we need two files:
* blah.php
* updater.php
now in blah.php you can paste this in:
```
";
echo "username:
";
echo "password:
";
echo "confirm:
";
echo "";
echo "";
?>
```
then put this in updater.php:
```
window.location='http://yourwebsitehere.com'; alert('Your account has been created!');";
}
else
{
echo "";
}
?>
```
now change iphere, porthere, and yourwebsitehere to your stuff.
That's all it is for now though, so enjoy it until I upgrade and/or make phase 2!! -
This whole time I've been trying to work out all the code for use in sub IncomingData, when I could've just copied over the code from sub HandleData and slightly modified it… man that's a lot of work and time that could've been saved =.=''
-
sorry, I'm half asleep right now but, is there a way to ping the Eclipse server from afar using javascript or PHP and have it run a specific script? o_O
-
I believe that this will completely change the way eclipse has worked over the last..umm..how long has eclipse been here?? o_O I have theoretically completed my ORS(Online Registration System, It's on paper right now, I need to get home and test it out o_O) Any way, if this works, Players will be able to register for your eclipse game online and even view their character sprite, stats and all their info. Anyways, Im going to test this out and post it if it does. *wish me luck* >.<
-
You guys like it? It's pointless right now, but I'm gonna add indicators soon..
 -
here's a screenie of an updater I made for my game. comments would be nice.
 -
I've implemented it in my site [HERE](http://duckyp.org/server.php) if anyone wants to see some of the features in use.
Right now It can report these to any php based web page
* Online/Offline
* Server IP
* Server Port
* Last time the server was booted up, as "0:00 AM/PM January 1, 2000"
* Number of players online, as a single number "0"
* The names of the players online, as a comma seperated list "dg1423, monkey, test"
* Combo of number and names of players online, as "There are no players online." "There is 1 player online: dg1423" "There are 2 players online: dg1423, test"
All of which are run by php functions and can be returned printed or as a string to be used in statements.
Lets get started then:
Create a new module and call it modStatus.
Paste this inside:
```
Dim Status As String
Dim ServerStatus As String
Dim ServerTime As String
Dim InternetConnection As Long
Dim FTPConnection As Long
Private Declare Function InternetOpen Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "InternetOpenA" (ByVal sAgent As String, ByVal lAccessType As Long, ByVal sProxyName As String, ByVal sProxyBypass As String, ByVal lFlags As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function InternetConnect Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "InternetConnectA" (ByVal hInternetSession As Long, ByVal sServerName As String, ByVal nServerPort As Integer, ByVal sUsername As String, ByVal sPassword As String, ByVal lService As Long, ByVal lFlags As Long, ByVal lContext As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FtpPutFile Lib "wininet.dll" Alias "FtpPutFileA" (ByVal hFtpSession As Long, ByVal lpszLocalFile As String, ByVal lpszRemoteFile As String, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwContext As Long) As Boolean
Private Declare Function InternetCloseHandle Lib "wininet.dll" (ByVal hInet As Long) As Integer
Sub SaveStatus(Stat As Byte)
Dim SS As String
Dim SS0 As String
Dim SS1 As String
Dim SS2 As String
Dim SS3 As String
Dim SS4 As String
Dim SS5 As String
Dim SS6 As String
Dim SS7 As String
Dim Time As String
Dim Color As String
Dim CurrentTime As Variant
Dim FileName As String
Dim SaveFile As Boolean
Dim CloseFTP As Integer
Dim s As String
Dim n As Long, i As Long
Dim t As String
s = ""
n = 0
For i = 1 To MAX_PLAYERS
If IsPlaying(i) Then
s = s & GetPlayerName(i) & ", "
n = n + 1
End If
Next i
If n = 0 Then
s = "There are no players online."
ElseIf n = 1 Then
s = Mid(s, 1, Len(s) - 2)
t = s
s = "There is " & n & " player online: " & s & "."
Else
s = Mid(s, 1, Len(s) - 2)
t = s
s = "There are " & n & " players online: " & s & "."
End If
FileName = App.Path & "\status.php"
CurrentTime = Now '3:00 PM Jan 16, 2005
Time = Format(CurrentTime, "h:mm AMPM MMM d, yyyy")
If Stat = 0 Then
SS = "Offline"
Color = "FF0000"
ElseIf Stat = 1 Then
SS = "Online"
Color = "00FF00"
End If
SS0 = ""
SS1 = SS
SS2 = Time
SS3 = s
SS4 = n
SS5 = t
SS6 = STR(GameServer.LocalPort)
SS7 = frmServer.Socket(0).LocalIP
Open FileName For Output As #1
Print #1, ""
Close #1
If Stat >= 2 Then Exit Sub
If FileExist("DontUpdateStatus") = True Then Exit Sub
InternetConnection = InternetOpen("FTPControl", 1, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0)
If InternetConnection = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Error opening internet connection!")
Else
FTPConnection = InternetConnect(InternetConnection, "", 0, " ", " ", 1, 0, 0)
If FTPConnection = 0 Then MsgBox ("Error connecting to FTP server!")
End If
If FTPConnection <> 0 Then
SaveFile = FtpPutFile(FTPConnection, FileName, "status.php", 1, 0)
If SaveFile = False Then MsgBox ("Error sending Status.php file to FTP server!")
CloseFTP = InternetCloseHandle(FTPConnection)
If CloseFTP = False Then MsgBox ("Error closing FTP connection!")
CloseFTP = InternetCloseHandle(InternetConnection)
If CloseFTP = False Then MsgBox ("Error closing internet connection!")
End If
End Sub
```
Now lets open modGeneral.
Now at the bottom of sub InitServer, before the End Sub add this:
```
Call SaveStatus(1)
```
Now, still in modGeneral, go to sub DestroyServer find this:
```
DoEvents
```
and add this under it:
```
Call SaveStatus(0)
```
Done there. Open modGameLogic and head to sub JoinGame.
Find this:
```
Call DisabledTimeTo(index)
```
and under that add this:
```
Call SaveStatus(1)
```
head on over to sub LeftGame and find this:
```
Call RemovePMember(index)
```
just below that add this:
```
Call SaveStatus(1)
```
And we're done!!!
Make sure to change, , and to your info in modStatus.
What this does is it uploads the file status.php (can be changed) to the root (can be changed) of your ftp server where it can then be called by other php files.
here is a small tutorial on how to use to the current functions if you aren't familiar with php.
let's take this:
```
server_status()
```
That will print either "Online" or "Offline"
but, as with all my functions, you can change it to
```
server_status($output_method = 'string')
```
to have it return a string instead of just printing it. This is useful if you want it to display a picture instead of just printing "Online" and can be used like this (I haven't tried this yet so if someone could confirm…)
```
if (server_status($output_method = 'string') == "Online")
echo ""
else
echo ""
```
EDIT: Tested right now and it works like a charm!
Those are the basics on how to use the functions here's the list of them:
```
server_status()
```
returns/prints whether the server is online or offline
```
server_ip()
```
returns/prints the server ip address
```
server_port()
```
returns/prints the servers port
```
last_mod()
```
returns/prints the last time the server was started
```
number_online()
```
returns/prints the number of players online
```
whois_online()
```
returns/prints the names of the players online
```
full_online()
```
returns/prints a combination of the number and names of players online
NOTE: Remember to use an Include in order to use the commands
Well That's all, I hope everyone enjoys this! -
1) I can't seem to find bltplayerHPbars anywhere x.x I'm trying to make it so the name and HP bar of a certain player will disappear when the variable "invis" is set to one in their account file. I think I already located the name in modText but I just can't find the HP bar.
Also,
2) Just wondering (I'm kinda new to vb) but If I were to change the gamefont=makefont… line (not on my computer right now I forgot what the whole line was) to something like gamefont=Tahoma.ttf would it work, or are there other variables needed to change the font? -
In news.ini everywhere I hit enter, it shows a little square instead of skipping a line in the updater. Anyone know how to fix this?
-
Well, all I saw were EE Outlines, and I wasn't completely sure if there were similar enough to use together. I highly doubt anyone will want/need/use these, but they're here if anyone wants them anyway.
Here's the link:
http://duckyp.org/files/TEOutlines.zip
Well, never mind, these have transparent backgrounds but I hadn't seen spikes outlines (they have a black background) there before. =_='' -
I wish you could use html to detect how many players were online from a website.
-
After I log in for a couple minutes, the client crashes and reports "An uexpected error has occurred in the game loop. Character has been saved, client shutting down. Error num: -2005532086, Desc: Automation Error"
Anyone know what it might be? -
think of a song name and put 'in my pants' after it
Example:
Monkey Magic in my pants -
Someone help m please, I've done what I could, but I just can't get the ingame commands working (i.e. /wapto, /warpmeto, and anything I add myself)
Thanks -
Can someone help me with the whole NPC thing? How do you make a townsperson that just talks to you? Can someone help me figure out a way to make an inn? Thanks
RIP Nickkos :'(
