RC: Chests
 
player.addChest(x, y, level);
player.hasChest(x, y, level);
player.remChest(x, y, level);

Making clientr.flags would end up getting large, my next idea was going to be textfiles, so yeah.

Servers still use actual chests instead of NPCs...?

I'm shocked and awed.

Deadly_Killer 05-24-2007 06:35 AM
Custom chest script, I just think storing it in the chests system would be easier and better accessible.

zokemon 05-24-2007 02:01 PM
And also insecure?
Almost everything from the default Graal systems are completely clientsided.

... Serverside, use your head mr.

Tyhm 05-24-2007 05:55 PM
That raises an interesting point - I haven't been on RC lately, but does the "player properties" window still have a box for "Opened Chests Flags"? Could that be reappropriated for servers that use serverside chest-scripts to instead list "Flags that start with clientr.chest_"?

Yes I know this, but they are still modifiable clientside.

Oh, so you are saying that the client holds the mysql user/pass for the server in the client?

That seem's insecure.

And btw: You can't edit your chests through clientside, use your head.

cbk1994 05-25-2007 12:11 AM
Sure you can, or atleast you could four years ago-- the last time I've even chests even being used o.O

Deadly_Killer 05-25-2007 12:32 AM
Uhm, UN?

I just want to make custom weapons etc.. in chests

Tyhm 05-25-2007 07:04 AM
So you want something like
PHP Code:
if (playertouchsme) {
  addweapon bazooka;
  set clientr.chest98;
}
CLIENTSIDE
if (clientr.chest98){
  hide;
} 
?

Deadly_Killer 05-25-2007 07:10 AM
uhm.. kind of.

Except, it will be purely clientside and just triggeraction to itself to add items.

Have an enumerator value for every item etc.

All of us have no choice but to just go with what you say since our only accreditation towards chests would be, like cbkbud said, from 4 years ago. But if they are no longer modifiable clientside, I guess it would be useful to use the system rather then just leave it there. I personally would rather see all the old Graal systems faded out from existence, though.

And then you realize that graal is currently far below the player count it used to have.

Not exactly, tons of people like how things were before everything was literally.. revamped.

Well I like how the scripting engine is now much better then it was before and thus I can conclude that my personal belief towards removing the old Graal systems is perfectly just being that it is only a personal belief.

Inverness 05-26-2007 12:55 AM
The old Graal systems can be duplicated in GS2 and improved, there is no reason to include support for the old systems other than people not wanting to make new ones. I would like to see all the old built-in systems removed but have like a standard set of system scripts that can be optionally downloaded to replace them.

Who told you this?

Tyhm 05-26-2007 02:28 AM
The old stuff may as well be deleted; it no longer works anyway.
BUT
it ought to be ported to GS2 as well. "First" hardly matters, as nobody can use the old baddies if they're still Even Remotely supported...but Also, certainly.

DustyPorViva 05-26-2007 02:42 AM
Well a lot of the old stuff like baddies/bombs/arrows work, just not on gmap's.

Don't act as if I am new to the game, I have quite some time on this game. I know from first hand the player count difference.

My request was to only be able to add to the chests field in the RC.

Either way, I ended up (to save lag), make it so when you get a chest it saves a text file on the server of your chests, and sends one to your player. Your player uses the text file to set the correct image of the chest (clientside). It also checks the image on the clientside when touched to see if it is opened or closed. Then it does a serverside check to see if you can get the chest.

Should work fine, though I prefer using built-in stuff =[

Just don't speak for other people, give your own reasons.

The player count can speak for itself.

You can't draw cause from correlation, sir.

And then I had 5000 chests around the OW.. oh snap, 5k flags...

I didn't want to do that.

DustyPorViva 05-26-2007 06:46 PM
Maybe tone down on the chests then?

Tyhm 05-27-2007 04:14 AM
...dude, what do you think those chests use now?
What is ##c#level13.graal#13#32## (or whatever the syntax really is) if not a CHEST FLAG?

Inverness 05-27-2007 04:18 AM
lol, 5000 chests. And you can't even use an array because of the string size limit, lol. Use a text file.

A) It doesn't store them together so I can easily find my chests.

I know, thought of all those possibilities.

I ended up using a text file that encrypted it through base64encode. It only controls whether or not the chest shows up. If you delete the file, the chest would show again (once you leave + re-enter level). Touching the chest would then make the serverside check the real text file if you have it. If you do, it sends to rc saying 'hacker bs bs bs'

=D

Inverness 05-27-2007 04:35 PM
I mean use a text file on the serverside, you don't need to encode it then.

I am.

When you login, it sends you a copy of it encrypted to your client. ( so you can use this copy when you enter a level to check if the chest is opened / closed )

The real one is on serverside.

Re-read my statement please.

If the serverside is involved in the process at all, sending to client is unnecessary.

The clientside is required to set the image of the chest for that player.. not everyone.

We're not on the same scope.

Uh, yes it can, just use triggeraction(). The shape needs to be set on both sides.
