Player Language Skill Gains

**realityincarnate** · #1 06-17-2009, 12:41 PM

The language skill up code is handled in zone/client.cpp, under ChannelMessageSend(). When I added it, I only put in functionality for group messages (channel #2), but you could modify that to allow any other channel type you want by just adding it to the if statement.

Oh! When was that added in?

Or am I misremembering it not being an available feature?

Excellent, thanks, will go look into it.

I don't remember exactly when, but it was added early-ish this year. It was part of the change that added language support for tells and group messages (and drunk talk).

Any idea where I can find the corresponding IDs for channels? According to that function, channel id 2 is group (I assume), but I don't know what the other ones are.

The easiest place to find them is probably ChannelMessageReceived(), still in client.cpp. I don't have convenient source access at the moment, but I think they're listed in a switch statement there.

Yep.

They are:

Code:

0 -- Guild
2 -- Group
3 -- shout
4 -- Auction
5 -- OOC
6 -- Broadcast
7 -- Tell
8 -- say
11 -- GMSay
15 -- Raid
