Forum :: EOSERV :: Ananas Weapon Effect System

EDIT: During the fact that we can't claim our own work. Or deserve the credits for it. I'm forced to remove it. Incase you do want it then contact me. (Don't reply in this topic or don't create a new topic asking for it. Smart people will know how to do it.)

Hello guys and girls!

As I promised. If I did promise..
Here is a tutorial how to add Weapon Effects!
This has been done on my way without the packet_effect, packet_agree.
You're probably thinking, "Why so ananas?". Well..
PACKET_EFFECT, PACKET_AGREE only places an effect on the spot.
So lets say an epic fast monster chases you and you shoot it.
The effect stays on the tile wile the monster moves.
So I made my own function. In NPC.CPP!(And NPC.HPP)
Ok Lets get started.

What do we need?
----------------
You'd need some copy+pasting skills.
Some common sense.


Lets start with npc.cpp.
------------------------
Search for;
-----------

bool NPC::Walk(Direction direction)
{
    return this->map->Walk(this, direction);
}

Place below that;
-----------------

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Done with npc.cpp!
-----------------------------------------

Go to npc.hpp
-------------

Search for;
-----------

void Die(bool show = true);

Place below that;
-----------------

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Done with npc.hpp!
------------------

Now.. if you don't got the spells in your server etc. then you would need to add the packets (PACKET_SPELLATT)

Open packet.hpp
---------------

Search for;
-----------

PACKET_BOARD = 43,

Place below that;
-----------------

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Nice! Done with packet.hpp.


Now! we go to world.cpp.
------------------------

Search for;
-----------
this->home_config.Read(this->config["HomeFile"]);

Place below that;
-----------------
<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Then search at the rehash() for;
----------------
this->home_config.Read(this->config["HomeFile"]);

Place below that;
-----------------
<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Done with world.cpp!
--------------------


Go to world.hpp
----------------

Search for;
-----------
Config home_config;

Add below that;
---------------

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.
----------------------

Done with world.hpp.
--------------------

Go to your config.ini and search for;
-------------------------------------
## HomeFile (string)
# Spawn point and innkeeper data
HomeFile = ./data/home.ini

Add below that;
----------------
<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Done with the config.ini!
-------------------------

Now go to your data folder and create an effects.ini

And fill it with the following file;

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Done!
-----

Now we go to map.cpp
And we search for;
------------------
npc->Damage(from, amount);

Add ABOVE that add;
---------------

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Now we search for;
------------------
character_ptr->hp -= limitamount;

Add BELOW that;
---------------

<Code it yourself ^^> Or ask me if you really want it.

Done!!!!!!

Enjoy your weapon effects! If I forgot something then please let me know! Errors? Please post below!
No need to make seperated topics.

Here's an interesting thought, Ananas, Have you thought about making a weapon effect for transferring the enemy HP to your own? =p

Web developer, currently looking for graphic artists / designers.

Now thats something to look at :] Good idea. If no one else figured it yet then I will release it.

Wow, This is nice, I'll add this right away!

Okay, I get this error C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Rev 189 Compiled\src\handlers\Talk.cpp|1248|error: expected '}' at end of input|

I don't know if this is due to what i've added of yours, I'll see if I can fix this.

EDIT: I don't know if this is my compiler but, when I get those errors ^ It points to the bottom of the page, I was told it's because the newer CodeBlocks Compilers do that.

"Pineapples and shit."

Read my edited post, and yea, I must have not noticed this, when I compiled it before.

EDIT: Yes I fixed it. Missed a  } on mute command.

find 

this->hp -= amount;

in npc.cpp and add

opponent->attacker->hp += amount;

see if that works?

If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?

You would of need the the recover packets etc so just that won't work.
