Questions O.o
 

XD, Im what you call n00b to this forum, But i have questions that couldn't be answered on any other forums, that some people might know.

1.) How come the NPC-Server makes the Server sign's Lag so about 5-6 seconds later the sign message will pop up?

2.) My items change every time im sparring :megaeek: either that or it just happens to me :grrr:


Bah just a few questions =o No responses or this thread will be closed most likely -_-, Whatever,

Because the signs are processed serverside, and thus the resultant text strings must be sent to the player instead of simply being read from the level. This obviously takes a little longer.

Dat's y0 problem, f00.

Would say2 and setshape help?

No im like the lamest scripter there is O.o

i know what say2 is the best i can script is

if (playerenters)
playerap = 100;}
}



^_^ And im proud of my unusual Newbie Scripting Skills o.O

Well, it depends. Any say2 from the serverside will still take a while to reach the player. Usually we can use clientside say2s, if the message is just something like "Hi, I am a simple sign". But if the sign includes stuff like #s(somestring), and that string isn't readable from the client, then they'll have to go from the server.

I think you mean:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters){

 playerap = 100;

}

---

That won't work online right?

Depends. If that code were ran serverside then it would work. Clientside with an NPC Server, it wouldn't. Without an NPC Server, I don't know. I've never stooped to coding without one.

Usually when that happens doesn't it mean someone's updated an NPC or something like that?

When you read a sign then the server is translating it into your language (on Graal2001 there is some German, Portuguese, French) and then sends it to you. Normally it shouldn't be 5-6 seconds, 0.5 seconds at max

On servers like Bravo it takes about three.

Your servers may be fast but is Faith2002's connection fast? Ding Ding.

:(

it has never been that fast.

ahh too many scripting commands *brain jumps out of head nad runs away*

is there a built in translator or something? :confused: :confused:

or do some scripts have messages written in a bunch of different languages & sends the one the client is set to?
