0.3.0 Bugs

[Lurker_005]

Hogie, Yea more options!!!

Since this is turning into a feature request, I'll cut and paste it into the bugs/requests forum also.

Actually being able to spawn a npc from the db at the current zone loc would be nice, with and without saving it. Perhaps a command to repop a db spawn before the timer is up.

#repop NPC_number

Also for the future how about the ability to run a batch of commands from inside the emu? The batch file might have to be server side I quess.

#batch batch_file_name

The batch commands would use all in game commands, plus at least a pause [time, or triger to continue] Perhaps have this as a GM event type of feature. That way the dialog and spawns ect. can be scripted ahead of time.

here's code to find an npc by name from the database, and to summon that npc using it's npc id...

void Client::FindNPC(char* search_criteria)
{
int count=0;
int iSearchLen = strlen(search_criteria)+1;
char sName[36];
char sCriteria[255];

strcpy(sCriteria, search_criteria);
strupr(sCriteria);
NPCType* npc = 0;
char* pdest;
for (int i=0; i < database.max_npc_type; i++)
{
if (database.npc_type_array[i] != 0)
{
npc = (NPCType*)database.npc_type_array[i];
strcpy(sName, npc->name);
strupr(sName);
pdest = strstr(sName, sCriteria);
if (pdest != NULL)
{
Message(0, " %i: %s", (int) npc->npc_id, npc->name);
count++;
}
if (count == 20)
{
break;
}
}
}
if (count == 20)
Message(0, "20 npcs shown...too many results.");
else
Message(0, "%i npcs found", count);
}

//summonnpc from database by ID
void Client::SummonNPC(int16 npc_id) {
NPCType* npc_type = database.GetNPCType(npc_id);
if (npc_type == 0)
{
Message(0, "No such npc: %i", npc_id);
}
NPC* npc = new NPC(npc_type, 0, this->GetX(), this->GetY(), this->GetZ(), this->GetHeading());
entity_list.AddNPC(npc);
}


i just copied and modified #finditem and #summonitem.
