Auto save timer...

[Cripp]

Not sure if this is already implamented at all in any way but it didnt look like it to me so i added it to my server.. heres what i did

first in client.h..
around line 770 after

	Timer	shield_timer;
	Timer	fishing_timer;

add

	Timer	save_timer;

so it looks like..

	Timer	shield_timer;
	Timer	fishing_timer;
	Timer	save_timer;

#ifdef REVERSE_AGGRO
	Timer	scanarea_timer;
#endif

NEXT..
in client.cpp, around line 145
after..

	shield_timer(500),
	fishing_timer(8000),

add

	save_timer(90000),

so it looks like

	shield_timer(500),
	fishing_timer(8000),
	save_timer(90000),

#ifdef REVERSE_AGGRO
	scanarea_timer(AIClientScanarea_delay),
#endif

Also,
in client.cpp, around line 212
after..

	pQueuedSaveWorkID = 0;
	position_timer_counter = 0;

add

	save_timer.Enable();

so it looks like

	pQueuedSaveWorkID = 0;
	position_timer_counter = 0;
	save_timer.Enable();
	fishing_timer.Disable();
	shield_timer.Disable();

Last,
in client_process.cpp, around line 148
after..

		if (fishing_timer.Check()) {
			GoFish();
		}

add..

		if (save_timer.Check()) {
			Save(2);
			Message(0, "%s successfully saved.", GetName());
			save_timer.Start(90000);
		}

so it looks like..

		if (fishing_timer.Check()) {
			GoFish();
		}

		if (save_timer.Check()) {
			Save(2);
			Message(0, "%s successfully saved.", GetName());
			save_timer.Start(90000);
		}

		if (bardsong_timer.Check() && bardsong != 0) {

If anyone can tweak it any better than it is, please do so.

Hope this helps, and hope its readable

edit: i would make a .diff file but i duno how :(

edit2: could also put an #ifdef ASAVE_TIMER #endif around all the additions and add #define ASAVE_TIMER in features.h to make it optional

This is a good idea, bump this thread in a week or two if it does not get into CVS by then.

hope this is a little more readable ;p
(I also changed the numbers a bit to make it less annoying)
