EO Quest/Item/Tile Source Systems

[Richy420Rich]

Alright I think I got it working now. To do away with the .ini system… If you already added the .ini system;

Just remove "Call Kill(App.Path & "\data\Accounts\" & Trim$(Name) & ".ini")" from Server (modHandleData) - HandleDelAccount

Then just follow the rest of the instructions after the NPC_TYPE instruction.

Lol yeah I know he's cool. I just got a bit offended by his statement.. I know I'm not as advanced at this shit than he is, I don't expect an A for effort, but I know I deserve better than an F..

If it had been an F Robin would not have made any remark ;)

[Richy420Rich]

Then I apologize but, I felt I got pwned lol

@iSkweek:

> I had all of that in there haha. I might just leave it til I understand it all a bit more, thanks though :)

Did you add this to the PlayerMove?

Server Side (modPlayer) - PlayerMove

Above this code;

    ' They tried to hack
    If Moved = NO Then
        Call PlayerWarp(index, GetPlayerMap(index), GetPlayerX(index), GetPlayerY(index))
    End If

Add this;

```
                If .Type = TILE_TYPE_SCRIPTED Then
            Call TileScript(index, .Data1)
            Moved = YES
        End If

```
^^ Make sure the End With is after this code, not before it. ^^

It works perfectly in mine. So it should work the same if everything was placed as was posted.

[iSKweek]

I even started from scratch and just copy/pasted the whole lot. I dunno I will have a look when I get home from work :)

EDIT: I have fixed my first issue, turns out I missed something (oops :P)

If I didn't think it had potential I wouldn't have bothered even posting. If I give criticism about something it generally means that the rest of it seems okay (or I didn't look). I was simply telling you to look through Origins to see how to do things.

The standards in 2.7 really are dire. It's not an insult to you, it's fairly obvious that someone working in 2.7 is going to base their programming style on that. Just saying that the kind of INI system you're using was the standard back in '04\. Things have moved on a lot since then.

As for my comment about it being a cheap port of a SadScript system, I stand by that even if you do think it's an insult. The structure and format are simply the kind of thing you'd do in SadScript. Again, not an insult simply an observation

[leopoldobb]

You forget the spell scripted .. u-u
haha, I'm joking.
If possible, make a tutorial about this!
Thanks.

All good Robin I see what you meant about the ini system. Not only does it slow performance, it also creates a nasty mess in the account folder. At the time I admit I was just lazy to learn/have it into the Player(index). Thanks for showing me right with it.

Thanks Dami for showing me that, it showed me I did need a type in the PlayerRec.. Before I had it all going to another type, which didn't save in the Player(index). That's where I was stuck with it before.

I'll have a look at it but I can't promise. I had more love for the scripted items than I did scripted spells. Mainly for the "one time use"..

[Richy420Rich]

To reset your quest, just put;

```
Player(attacker).NPCQuest(Int(Script)).NPCQuestProgress = 0
```
inside after the quest is finished.

[Murdoc]

Good move getting rid of the .ini file. Im gonna test this out and see how it works. :-)

[cowin000]

With the .ini system you sent me I thanks you a million. But I ask one more favor from you and thats for you to tell me how to set it up. I copyed that scipt in the case 1 for the quest and I got an error. HELP MATE :cheesy:

[Fbu]

The tile system didn't  work till I put

```
Public TileScript As Long
```
in modGlobals.

But now it works perfect thanks (:

[cowin000]

Yea thanks "FBU" it works  for me now too

[Guest]

Richy it he fother fuckin script master!

[Azvd]

its good

[mitlark]

It's VERY good, and I like it. Feels like a compiled form of scripting (yeah, I know that the sadscripting was basic itself, or kind of). It has that much of ways to make quests that simply is lovely :3\. With a little improvement, it could be the ultimate one >=D.
As for example, it's easy to merge it with any visual text hud (NPC Speechbox as example) to get nice conversations.

Great work,

[matiuh]

To get working, TileScript, you should make this change:

in modGlobals

find: ' Used to check if in editor or not and variables for use in editor

and under of :
```
Public EditorShop As Long
```
paste:
```
Public TileScript As Long
```
compile ;)

[Richy420Rich]

My bad. I'll add this in the tutorial. I've forgotten that part.

[dream1204]

Hi, I got a question…. I have followed all the step to add scripted NPC. However, there is no "Scripted" in my editor. I have already added this in frmEditor_Npc. However, it doesnt show up :confused:

[Richy420Rich]

It should show up when you run the editor in-game.. Otherwise you must have stuffed up somewhere. I'm 100% sure it works if done correctly, just follow the tutorial closely.
