negative values and setfocus

[R0bin]

It would still take longer if a few excellent lats converted the levels, than a few hundred mediocre lats converted them.

It wont be that hard to make a batch converter, program a list of npc server actions into the converter, and if a script needs to change the players money say, it could change:

if (playerrupees>=50) playerrupees-=50;

to

if (playerrupees>=50) {
with(getplayer(#a)) {
playerrupees-=50;
}
}

Dude, clearly you don't know how the NPC Server works. If you can read playerrupees then you can change playerrupees but simple stuff like this is not the problem. The problem is in other, more complicated things that would need to be divided into serverside and clientside sections.

I'm guessing shifter told you that? He seemed to have the same misunderstanding (I noticed it when he posted that log on-off thing), getting #a is meaningless and inefficent, since the script already knows it is editing your attributes

[R0bin]

i wouldnt want to "discredit" him by saying he did.

G2K2 uses GMaps, and they still do weird things when you go beyond the southern peninsula's boundaries.

You would prefer that we not ask for some pretty damn simple security features until the technology is available? Just passively let Classic get hacked to death by any ***** with a trainer? Tough.

*shrugs*

And it'll be fixed. But the fix won't benefit Classic in any way so the point is moot.

I think it's fair to ask. I don't think it's fair to continually whine about it like an attention-deprived child, insinuating that Stefan has some binding obligation to spend time on your problems.

Well I only worked full time for no pay on something that profits him. Surely that's no reason to expect support. =_=

Indeed.

Arg somehow i miss the topic, but i just wanted to say that the <0 thing will be fixed in the next exe.

Yes, this thread ran completly off-topic.

setfocus is clientside anyway.

And Tyhm, I can't perform magic...the NPC Converter will only do simple stuff...I reviewed the scripts of some player houses now and I got afraid...they used complex stuff for things that don't really matter. "Complex" means that I couldn't convert them automatically.

Partially NPC Server isn't good/possible. The flags are completly different for security reasons.

[Tyhm]

Anything's algorythmically possible. Just layers of complexity.

I don't expect you to be able to write a magic converter that does everything automatically, just a batcher such that you could have it replace hitplayer (etc) with triggeraction (etc), then do the rest manually. That should be possible, no? There are a lot of commands to remove, but one at a time...

I don't see how that makes it any simpler to implement what you requested.

Even when you do that, you need to add serverside parts to react to the trigger. And it's not simple to write a heuristic that would recognise all the different permutations of the player-searching algorithms needed to use hitplayer effectively.

[Com013]

Yes, everything is possible.
I remember when I tried to write my first version of the converter. It should parse the script and then it should try to move whole blocks to client-/serverside depending what commands they used. The problem was parsing the script. It isn't easy and I don't have the time for it. So it will be my simple converter which I hope to finish in a week, but which won't be able to convert 100-600 levels.
Replacing hitobjects with triggeraction? Why?

[Tyhm]

...*shrugs* I recall hearing hitobjects doesn't work in NPCServ is all.
