Getting rich the easy way

poet1960 · #1 06-02-2009, 03:55 PM

I have done some searching and found a few solutions to my problem but most are too labor intensive to try at the moment. Is there an easy way to spawn/summon money in game for a character? I can't seem to find any way to do it. I am running local server with the server pack from project eq. Got it running my first try and have been playing a little bit. Any ideas?

#givemoney [pp] [gp] [sp] [cp] - Gives specified amount of money to the target player.

Thanks

Will give it a shot. I presume the syntax would be #givemoney [3] [4] [3] [6] ?

"#givemoney 1 10 100 1000" is how you want to use it.

Ah ok, no wonder I was having problems occasionally, I was putting in the braces...sometimes programs want them in there. Thanks a lot.

Bummer, it doesn't recognize the command....I gotta go to work now thanks for the help.

Oh, I didn't know about #givemoney.

I just put a command in my default.pl script that has NPCs giving me some test money to work with if I give them the secret codeword.

It checks $status, too, of course. Just in case.

I just downloaded the auto installer from project eq and used the recommended versions for mysql and perl. So I am not sure what's going on. I used to play with runuo and it was much simpler to set up then this server. Too bad no one has made an admin tool that you can bring up in the game.

I, too, did not know about the give money command. When I need money, I just summon a 'bag of platinum'. Then sell to the merchant. Be careful though you may not be able to move. If you summon some j boots you can still move, slowly, but you can still move.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I updated to a more current version aside from having to redownload a newer version of perl it worked great. One item of note though, I tried to dl the newest version but the installer program said it was corrupt and it wouldn't install. http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4612
0.7.0-1129Rev233 so I installed rev 89. Although, I still can't get the #givemoney command to work. Oh well.

That's because those binaries are super old. Like, last year. EQEmu is on Rev620 as of writing this, and you're using Rev233.

Go get the newest ones here. Depending on if you want to use Bots or not, get the one you want to use.

poet1960 · #13 06-03-2009, 04:15 PM

Wow, ok thanks. I have seen a bit about bots. I presume they are macros to level up your character or what? BTW what version of perl does the latest version use.

poet1960 · #14 06-03-2009, 04:22 PM

I just had a look at that rev and it looks like I would have to do a manual install (as far as I can tell). What I currently have works, so I am a bit leery about tinkering with trying to figure out where all the files in that rev zip would go.
