[Belfedia]

Just a simple question about quests.
All quest are in the Quests directory, but i search how i can localise the quest. After you can choose your language and the quest answer with this language.
Anyone have a perl idea for make that plz ?

My english is very poor (sorry snif)
I don't search translate web site but one idea for my player
A perl code for choose if the player have quest in english or other language :)
I search how localised the quest :)

[deazone]

That is a cool idea. Perhaps a new function to check a language field in your database and return the result to perl. And a command in commands.cpp/.h to set that field in the database.

Good luck

Well, you could just add a player command ( a # comamand, like #locale [fr/en/es/etc]) that allows you to change your locale by manually adding a quest global, and then in your quests just have like..

if ($locale eq 'fr')
{
french..
}
elsif ($locale eq 'en')
{
english..
}

Hey Belfedia, if you tell me what version of EQEmu you're using I'd be happy to write it up really quick. Send me an email: admin@awhiteflame.net.

you should be able to do this entirely in perl...
the best way I can say to do it is this..
make a directory on your server named 'locales' somewhere, let the path be /home/eqemu/locales. Make it writeable by the user running eqemu.

use a perl command like (check this syntax, im winging it):

sub commands_init() {
command_add("locale", "Set your locale", 0);
}

sub locale {
my $loc = shift;
if($loc eq "") {
$client->Message(13, "You must specify a locale: en or fr");
return;
}
my $name = $client->GetName();
open(F, ">/home/eqemu/locales/$name");
print F "$loc";
close(F);
}


then make a plugin:


sub get_locale {
my $name = shift;
open(F, "</home/eqemu/locales/$name");
my $loc = <F>;
close(F);
return($loc);
}



then you can write a quest like:

sub EVENT_SAY {
my $locale = plugin::get_locale($name);
if($locale eq 'en') {
#....
} else {#.....
}
}


}
[/code]

Thanks i try it :)

command_add("locale", "Set your locale");

need more : command_add (name , desc, access)
what is acces ?

[fathernitwit]

status required to use it, pass 0

[Belfedia]

Nice, but say i'm use a unitialized value in concatenation (.) or string in commands.pl

open(F, ">/home/eqemu/locales/$name");

Program don't know $name i think ?
i try to add a print "$name";
and i have same error on it.

[fathernitwit]

oops..

add

my $name = $client->GetName();

[Belfedia]

Thats work very fine !!!

MANY thanks (one more !!!)
Now i try to find a (book/tradeskills) solution :)
