[edwardthefma]

it is hear i fixd the mysql.so error in linux and now you can run rmx-os inside a Linux shell

hey blizz the name of the whisperer dose not appear in front of received whisper text, it just appears as yellow text and you have no clue who it cam from.

[Blizzard]

Ok, I'll fix that.

[Jackolas]

k. tried a lot myself. got a lot to work myself. even in the saving stuff..
but ran into a problem :S
I'm not someone to ask for help with every problem because I want to fix everything myself, but I'm stuck
under Save_Data in the manual says :

It requires some basic scripting knowledge to set up this configuration! If you are unsure, ask a scripter.

I have a quest system in my game that works great when it was single player (could save an load quest progress.)
Now I can't get it to work any more.

to get it to work in the single player game I added to Scene_Save

    Marshal.dump($game_temp.qupdate, file)
    Marshal.dump($game_temp.qupdate2, file)

in  Game_Temp I added under "class Game_Temp"

  attr_accessor :qupdate
  attr_accessor :qupdate2

and under "def initialize"

    @qupdate = []
    @qupdate2 = []
    for i in 0...200000
      @qupdate[i] = false
      @qupdate2[i] = false
    end

to start a quest i add a script in an event with:

$game_temp.qupdate[1][0] = true

(this will start quest 1 with 0 objective completed)

if more info is needed say so.
Reason for not uploading whole scrip: don't want you guys go to the trouble to read trough 500+ lines of code
if script is really needed i will post it

[Blizzard]

Add this:

SAVE_DATA[Game_Temp] = ['@qupdate', '@qupdate2']

And add '$game_temp' to SAVE_CONTAINERS.

Also, I recommend that you don't put that stuff in Game_Temp. Better put it in Game_System. Then you need to add '@qupdate' and '@qupdate2' to SAVE_DATA[Game_System] instead of what I just said.

[Jackolas]

thanks, i go right to it

edit:
change to system, works like a dream.
added it to SAVE_DATA[Game_System]

got error:

Script 'RMX-OS Data' line 2600: RuntimeError occurred
Error! Saving for class Array undefined!

think there need to be added a     CREATION_DATA[Game_System] = ????

[Blizzard]

Right. That's an issue I have fixed already, but it's not in a released version yet. It happens if you have arrays / hashes in arrays / hashes. Put this under RMX-OS for now and it should work:

got it working. till a point
dunno if its a problem in RMX-OS or my quest script

it works fine with log-in (new account ofc) and log-off.
but when I log in again with the same account error pops up

Script 'RMX-OS Data' line 2619: Type Error occurred
Cannot Convert nil into String

sorry to be a pain :S

[Blizzard]

Fixed as well.

      @messages.clear
      # stop if socket is not ready
      return if !self.connected? || !@socket.ready?
      # get 0xFFFF bytes from  received message
      buffer = @socket.recv(0xFFFF)
      # delete null values from buffer
      buffer.gsub!("\000", '')
      # split messages by \n without suppressing trailing empty strings
      buffer = buffer.split("\n", -1)
      # if chunk from previous incomplete message exists
      if @previous_chunk != nil
        # complete chunk with first new message
        buffer[0] = @previous_chunk + buffer[0]
        # delete chunk buffer
        @previous_chunk = nil
      end
      # remove last message in buffer
      last_chunk = buffer.pop
      # incomplete message if it exists (meaning last message has no \n)
      @previous_chunk = last_chunk if last_chunk != ''
      # check each message in the buffer
      buffer.each {|message|

[Jackolas]

guess just put it under the rest of the script

had a longer loading
still crashed. same error

[Blizzard]

Eh, then I don't know. You'll have to wait until I release v1.1. :/

[Jackolas]

np than. will work around it for now
thanks for looking into it anyway.

[Ryex]

ok so I'm building a world chat channel addon for PNO I just want to know is the prefix CHW or CAW in use? (and yes I'm aware that mods can use the /global command, this is fo of a use /world to turn world chat off and on, and while your in world chat all your messages are sent to everyone)

EDIT: wow Blizz you weren't thinking of a multichannel system when you designed the chat were you. I ended up giving up on making the world and local chat logs combine correctly and just made it a completely different log.

[G_G]

can this run on ruby on rails?

EDIT:
Where go we access all the PM's a player recieves? A friend was bugging me saying he didn't like viewing pm's through chatbox so he asked me to make a script that showed him them.

So I plan on doing that but I need to know how to access PM's.

[Blizzard]

@Ryex: I did not implement world chat on purpose. Spammers, advertisers, idiots and everybody else falling into that kind of category shouldn't be allowed to talk to everybody whenever they feel like it. There will always be people like that and if they have the means to be completely annoying idiots by annoying everybody else on the server, they will use that opportunity. Imagine 100 people on a server and just 2 pairs of 2 people on two different maps who talk to each other, 2 more annoying idiots who are looking for a pokemon to trade and let the entire server know and 2 more noobs who don't know how to play and keep asking questions. The chatbox will be flooded just like that and a normal conversation with somebody will become impossible.

@G_G: Actually it's in the manual. *points to chapter 4.3.* The PMs are received with the PMA server message. RMXOS::Network#decode_pm_data turns the received string into a proper chat message displaying all the info about the PM.

[Ryex]

@Blizz well Jc and most every one else wanted it and in that case my method of implementing it is better. you don't have to see the world chat if you don't want to.

[Blizzard]

Alright, but I have warned you.

[Ryex]

yes, yes you did. and yours IS the reason most MMO's have the option to turn the global and trade chat channels off. and even the local channel. so that you can view only the sever messages and personal stuff like pm's or the channel you want to. eventually that is what I'm going to expand it to. a multichannel system where a user receives local messages and messages from channels that they subscribe to. ie the user enters /world into the chat box and the server receives a messages to send world messages to them. and then entering /world again tells it to stop. the same could be done with any extra channel.
It would make a nice extension in that form I think


EDIT:
also in the latest version of PNO I'm having the loading problems again. the type error can't convert nil to string error. I looked up the two lines that it gives, the lines are in the methods rmxos_deserialize and  rmxos_deserialize_enum. the line in both cases is
data = eval($network.load_data[key])
if it helps I was trying to proxy the game client so the network connection never went over 10kb/s and jumped up and down a lot. I have a feeling that this is why

[Blizzard]

Alright, then it's ok, channels are fine. I actually hoped that somebody would make plugins to split the different chat message categories. :=

I'm not sure, but the edited client is supposed to receive server message chunks and simply put them together if they aren't complete. Find RMXOS::Network#listen and dump all received messages (before the \000 are all deleted) into a file and send me that file.

[Lost King]

Alright, so, I've spent close to around the last 4 hours tackling the installation of the server alone, mind you I've been having internet connection problems every other minute and everythings been pissing me off like no other. But anyway.

I've finally gotten MySQL to download and got all the way up to the execute window of setting up the instance and it gets to Start Server, the first time I did this it said it couldn't Start, so I closed out, uninstalled, reinstalled, and now it's frozen at that screen twice and I closed out of it after waiting 5 minutes.

Can someone PLEASE help me? Lead me to another alternative? One that isn't a source code and won't take me 4 hours to install. I've got Windows Vista and every new program I come by turns into an adventure regardless of how easy the set up should be. I'm sure getting the actual game to work on the server, if I ever get that working, will take a good 5 hours or so.
