Skills Question

Jujubeez · #1 09-04-2011, 10:07 PM

Hey thanks for all the help, I've made some headway. I can now see and train the new skills in the client, however they don't seem to be working. My druid doesn't ever parry or double attack. I've been looking pretty hard in the attack.cpp file but to the best I can tell it's checking the DB for whether or not a character can parry. There is some hard coded class stuff in there in the same function but it looks like that is for the NPC code and the clients check the DB. Any idea why the skills might not be working? Hope it's not also hard coded in the client.

I know I am missing something simple here but what is the catch to use those import/export scripts. I can tell I have something right cause the import script will delete my skill_caps table but it won't add anything to it.
What are the required perl packages/modules that I need to install? I currently have all DBD, DBI, mysql & sql packages excluding the DBIx packages. What am I missing?

They carry same dependency as the import and export spells scripts. DBI and mysql. You do of course need to manually set the info since i don't read from the config file or anything.

They should work basically the same as the import/export spell scripts, except you have to edit the DB info in them. You will need to run them from the command prompt something like this:

Code:

perl export_skillcaps.pl

Or, at least that is what I use on Linux.

I finally got the scripts to work. On Windows you can right click the file and open with Perl Command Line Interpreter. In order for the import script to work properly I had to put the SkillCaps.txt in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Didn't figure that out till the export script ran properly...had to search my drives to find it.

It may have just been my computer configuration but I think the windows version of perl requires some additional perl packages to be installed. That may be different in some Linux versions as perl comes as part of the OS install...Ubuntu is a good example of that.

I had to install the DBI stuff on windows with activeperl but otherwise worked perfectly if it can't find it in the directory its run from sounds like a perl configuration issue.
