yeah, i guess the OOCRegen rule would probably be easier. i keep forgetting to familiarize myself with the various rules... :|
i'm a bit confused about what i'm reading in the source about the loading of npc quest files, however. i come up with this order from reading PerlembParser::LoadScript() in zone/embparser.cpp
1) quests/default.pl
2) quests/<zone>/<npcid>.pl
3) quests/<zone>/<npcname>.pl
4) quests/templates/<npcname>.pl
5) quests/templates/<npcid>.pl
6) quests/<zone>/default.pl
7) quests/templates/default.pl
this is what i'm looking at to come to this conclusion:
Code:
int PerlembParser::LoadScript(int npcid, const char * zone, Mob* activater)
{
if(!perl)
{
return(0);
}
//we have already tried to load this quest...
if(hasQuests.count(npcid) == 1)
{
return(1);
}
string filename = "quests/", packagename = GetPkgPrefix(npcid);
//each package name is of the form qstxxxx where xxxx = npcid (since numbers alone are not valid package names)
questMode curmode = questDefault;
FILE *tmpf;
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, "LoadScript(%d, %s):\n", npcid, zone);
if(!npcid || !zone)
{
//Load quests/default.pl
filename += DEFAULT_QUEST_PREFIX;
filename += ".pl";
curmode = questDefault;
}
else
{
filename += zone;
filename += "/";
#ifdef QUEST_SCRIPTS_BYNAME
string bnfilename = filename;
#endif
filename += itoa(npcid);
filename += ".pl";
curmode = questByID;
#ifdef QUEST_SCRIPTS_BYNAME
//assuming name limit stays 64 chars.
char tmpname[64];
int count0 = 0;
bool filefound = false;
tmpf = fopen(filename.c_str(), "r");
if(tmpf != NULL)
{
fclose(tmpf);
filefound = true;
}
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, " tried '%s': %d", filename.c_str(), filefound);
tmpname[0] = 0;
//if there is no file for the NPC's ID, try for the NPC's name
if(!filefound)
{
//revert to just path
filename = bnfilename;
const NPCType *npct = database.GetNPCType(npcid);
if(npct == NULL)
{
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, " no npc type");
//revert and go on with life
filename += itoa(npcid);
filename += ".pl";
curmode = questByID;
}
else
{
//trace out the ` characters, turn into -
int nlen = strlen(npct->name);
//just to make sure
if(nlen < 64)
{
int r;
//this should get our NULL as well..
for(r = 0; r <= nlen; r++)
{
tmpname[r] = npct->name[r];
//watch for 00 delimiter
if(tmpname[r] == '0')
{
count0++;
//second '0'
if(count0 > 1)
{
//stop before previous 0
tmpname[r-1] = '\0';
break;
}
}
else
{
count0 = 0;
}
//rewrite ` to be more file name friendly
if(tmpname[r] == '`')
{
tmpname[r] = '-';
}
}
filename += tmpname;
filename += ".pl";
curmode = questByName;
}
else
{
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, " namelen too long");
//revert and go on with life, again
filename += itoa(npcid);
filename += ".pl";
curmode = questByID;
}
}
}
#ifdef QUEST_TEMPLATES_BYNAME
tmpf = fopen(filename.c_str(), "r");
if(tmpf != NULL)
{
fclose(tmpf);
filefound = true;
}
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, " tried '%s': %d", filename.c_str(), filefound2);
//if there is no file for the NPC's ID or name,
//try for the NPC's name in the templates directory
//only works if we have gotten the NPC's name above
if(!filefound)
{
if(tmpname[0] != 0)
{
//revert to just path
filename = "quests/";
filename += QUEST_TEMPLATES_DIRECTORY;

}
// If by ID, Name or Template wasn't found, load /quests/zone/default.pl
if(!filefound)

}
}
am i just not reading/understanding something correctly?
EDIT:
i may have just answered my own question. it's only looking for quests/default.pl if no npcid or zoneid are supplied. i haven't looked at where this is called from, but i'm guessing it's probably pretty rare for that to occur.
