Multiple Characters per Account

[Slasheree]

can someone give me the logic (which functions/handledata i'll need) for making this possible (not a tutorial, just the basic lines)

I tried adding accountname_1.ini accountname_2.ini and accountname_3.ini, but then it messes up the saveplayer() loadplayer() and bank and more stuff, is there an easier way of doing it that I'm not seeing ? O.o

[Edit]

I'm using CS:DE btw

I tried this but failed 

But this was the logic I had in mind.

Use a rec that holds the main player files. Then a Player rec that holds the characters data. The Player rec can be only accessed from the main rec. The player files are saved in their own folders in \accounts\ Within the player folder is a Main file. It holds the players name and stuff. Then along with the main. 1….# files that holds the characters data. (# being the character number, like 1 for chara 1 etc)

I have added this to my engine and once you get the understanding down its relatively easy.

I'm not going to spell it out completely for you as that would defeat the point of learning the engine and coding it your own way (plus I have no idea how efficient mine is.)

You will need:

A Character Rec - Holds all the Character details

An edited Player Rec - Which only holds the account details (It will also use the Character rec)

An edited TempPlayer Rec - You need a way to store the current character a player is using.

You need to alter nearly every single line of code involving a player on the server.

The client does not really need to change much.

TorenRenne, could you give me your Sub ClearPlayer() to check something ? ._.

When I try to register an account it give a runtime error 9 subscript out of range and highlights:

Function GetPlayerMap(ByVal Index As Long) As Long

If Index <= 0 Or Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Function

GetPlayerMap = Player(Index).Char(TempPlayer(Index).CurChar).Map

End Function

This question has been asked so many times, and yet again I'll reply, RIP IT OUT OF MIRAGE.

i'm trying to rip from Eclipse Dawn…

Slasher thats error did i got too some times but idk anymore what i changed

look where the error is and then take a view at the sub which handle it

[tslusny]

it is calling it from sub join game imo, and maybe it is throwing error becouse .curchar is zero.

[Slasheree]

Ok, fixed it, needed a check:

Function GetPlayerMap(ByVal Index As Long) As Long

If TempPlayer(Index).CurChar <= 0 Then Exit Function

If Index <= 0 Or Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Function

GetPlayerMap = Player(Index).Char(TempPlayer(Index).CurChar).Map

End Function

Some minor tweaks to the code and done  (ToDo: Gonna add a confimation thingy for Char Delete)

[TorenRenne]

That should never be hit.

If your "Getting a Player map", the player has to be in game as checked by:

"If Index <= 0 Or Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Function"

The problem your experiencing is down to the fact you are trying to use an account that probably existed BEFORE you added multiple chars?

You have to wipe all accounts to implement this.

[Slasheree]

everything is working fine (I always deleted the accounts even when I made the smallest changes)

[TorenRenne]

Well I'm shocked your calling that Function when registering an account. Very odd.

You guys should put out a tutorial for this since a lot of folks seem to ask about this type of functionality from time to time.

[Wortel Angels]

The reason why no one make an tutorial is that the peoples should and CAN learn vb6 then is there Eclipse Dawn and Mirage which got that system and there can it be ripped out…

If you know the VB6 Basics and got a bit time you can easy rip it ;-)
