[RunUO 2+] daat99's Master Looter + Ledger system

[daat99]

You've been back for 5 minutes and I already owe you one, I just got all set up with oDesk today after finding a link on your site (profile) - Impressive portfolio might I say

Thanks

 

[Lokai]

I will add my "welcome back" to the list also.

daat99, good to see you in action once again!

 

[daat99]

Thank you
Good to see so many of the old good coders that are still around here

 

[Talow]

Since this seems to be a WB Daat thread now, well I'm sure you get the point.

WB.

find this in MasterLooterBackpack.cs , around line 21 on mine, v1.03 :

 GoldLedger = true; //enables the gold ledger

change it to false and then the gold ledger portion isn't visible or usable

 

[daat99]

Everything in this system is intended to be enabled/disabled.

The default behavior can be set (usually in Utils file) and for every global setting a deed can be added to enable it.

For example you can disable the gold/token ledgers by default and sell the token/gold ledger deeds to your players.

Once the players use the deed (in their pack with the master looter) that option will be enabled for their specific master looter.

The currently in testing version will enable the shard owner to disable the bags "keep items on death" blessed behavior (the bag itself will still be blessed).

That will be enabled by default but for the shard owners that wants to set it to disabled a deed will be added so they could sell it to players.

 

[daat99]

That is the behavior of version 1.03.
1.04 will grant the owner the ability to choose if he wants the items to remain in the looter or not.

Oh wow i did not think anyone was still doing this.. I just got back after a very long break as well. I just got a hankering for some UO and here i am. BTW this is Rancid77 not many here will remember me but hopefully some do. Looking forward to checking this out once all my stuff is back up and running

 

[daat99]

I'll update the FAQ later today with how to do that (I'll also post it here).

Thanks for a very useful question

 

[daat99]

Add this line and then add "looter" to the backpack.

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

 

[daat99]

Above the line you tried to edit.

 

[GhostRiderGrey]

Avachel, I think you can add

using Daat99MasterLooterSystem;

at the top of CharacterCreation.cs and then use your line of

PackItem( new MasterLooterBackpack() );

down below. Tried that here and it appears to be working fine.

 

[daat99]

That will work but with a cost.
Every time he'll compile his server the character creation file will check if my file was changed and recompile itself again.

In the long run it'll waste a lot of cpu on useless compilation.

The line of code I posted will avoid the "using" part and those won't require recompilation so much.

 

[GhostRiderGrey]

Thanks for the explanation daat99, ill go back and try and add your suggested code ( I could not get it to work the first time I tried).

 

[daat99]

Maybe I had a typo, can you post the error you get with this please:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

 

[GhostRiderGrey]

Is this what the code should look like when fully together?

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();
            PackItem(new looter());

or this?

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();
            {
                PackItem(new looter());
            }

 

[GhostRiderGrey]

When using either of those, it flags me on new looter and asks tells me "The type or namespace "looter" could not be found (are you missing a using directive or assembly reference)". Thats what lead me to adding the using reference a the top of the file.

 

[GhostRiderGrey]

Could this be used as well with no "using" cpu hit?

PackItem(new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack());

Tested and it seems to be working.

 

[GhostRiderGrey]

Also noticed a graphical glitch on page 3 of a default loot backpack. Double arrow at the bottom of the gump.

 

[daat99]

Could this be used as well with no "using" cpu hit?

PackItem(new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack());

Tested and it seems to be working.

This will work, let me explain:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

First we declare a type of the item we want:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

Then we create a variable of that type and give it a name:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

After that we tell the compiler that we want to assign something to it:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

We also tell the compiler that we want to create a new object:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

We tell the compiler the type of the object we want to create:

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

And last we tell the compiler to create it without any special "information" (parameters):

Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack looter = new Daat99MasterLooterSystem.MasterLooterBackpack();

At this point we have a Master Looter Backpack object stored in a variable called "looter" and we can use it like this:

looter.GoldLedger = false;
looter.Name = "I'm a new looter and I won't hold gold for my owner";
PackItem( looter );

Using the code you posted is the same thing except you can't do anything with the looter because you don't know what it is.

In my code the owner can change stuff on the looter based on the new player settings (gargoyles get GoldLedger, Humans and elves can't... etc).
