A customizable death announcer that broadcasts on the map pre-defined by the GM configuring the NPC's settings. It helps GMs keep track of player death when hosting events styled to have a last-man-standing winner while adding a creative flair to each situation.

It is written so that an announcement with "flavor text" is broadcasted when a player is killed by either a monster or another player. To avoid duplicate announcements, the previous mode is disabled upon activating a new mode.

The current release, 1.0, is activated by "whispering" a string of any text to "npc:death". Doing so calls the config panel to set the NPC according to your needs.

This is a straight copy/paste.

I ended up using something fairly similar. Thanks Akkarin!

The code we have is literally an rss feed - Perhaps ask Ind for his original version from the Hercules boards, as he's the person who wrote it.

There's also several IPB hooks that help you: Custom Sidebar Blocks, RSS Block, etc

I see. I'll try and figure out how to pull an RSS feed from the Tracker, then. I've already been using (e32) Custom Sidebar Blocks and IP.Content Blocks to try and emulate it, but the extra information about it reading from an RSS feed was helpful. Thank you.

December 12, 2013

Its a rediculously clunky piece of JavaScript with an RSS feed, that's all.

I could have guessed that much lol. At this point, I'm more requesting the actual code rather than how to write it.

December 12, 2013

Hello,

I'm aware that the feed displaying the most recent posts from the Tracker in the sidebar is a custom modification; I've done a fair amount of searching for something similar, to no avail. There isn't really a section here for this type of request, but if anyone would be willing to share this code with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

December 11, 2013

As you have written it. It will not work.

Thanks for verifying that.

December 11, 2013

did you already tried it?

Evidently not. I'm a bit opposed to downloading the entire emulator to test one feature, and I would much rather someone provide the answer(s) if they are able and willing.

December 11, 2013

Is it currently possible to use an item's Aegis_Name in place of the item ID? If so, at which revision was this implemented?

Example:

getitem Red_Potion, 1;    // Equivalent to: getitem 501, 1;

When loading a script that contains an OnInit label onto a live server, is OnInit automatically initialised, or would I have to use OnWhisperGlobal to sort of cheat the initialisation?

December 9, 2013

Then just use like

sleep2 5000;

end;

??

I'm sure the server cannot tell the client to close a window

Couldn't you just force the player to send a packet to close a window with @send (in a script)?

Ryuuzaki from Hercules released something like this....

Could this be applied to rathena?

Check it here: http://hercules.ws/board/topic/1163-mac-ip-address/#entry17512

Likely, though you'll have to make your own patch and use a third-party client launcher.

October 28, 2013

Have you tried this one? http://rathena.org/board/topic/73230-variable-tied-to-mac-address-i-am-using-harmony/?p=150933

The functions Brian wrote were intended to create and retrieve a MAC-based variable, not retrieve a MAC address. His usage of the function getmacaddress() is purely pseudocode. Currently, there is no known method to retrieve a MAC address without Harmony, as Harmony's software and plugins are used to manipulate the client into sending the user's MAC address. If anyone has an alternative method to logging and retrieving MAC addresses, please share. d:

LOL. Your MVP Ladder resembles a ladder... (coincidence?!)

Aside from that, just wanted to commend you for your WoE controller; it works seamlessly and was simple to configure. I'd like to see half-hour intervals in there, but other than that it has plenty of features and is incredibly useful.

if not mistaken ....

monster will never trigger the OnTouch label,...only players does...

to warp a particular monster..you required their GID ....

the only way you can get the GID ... Get_monster_gid

I used OnTouchNPC, not OnTouch; OnTouchNPC can be triggered by a monster. Using 0 for the unitwarp's GID will warp any monster away; however, if he wanted to be more specific with the GID (regarding monsters), yes, he would likely have to make source modifications to do so.

August 3, 2013

"this" is the current map.

Here's an example of how to use OnTouchNPC:

// Since this script should only be triggered by touch, we can set the Sprite ID to -1 (invisible)
// The extra "5,5," signifies a 5-by-5 cell area around the NPC that will trigger the 'OnTouch' label

prontera,151,172,0    script    no_mob_walk    -1,5,5,{    

    //end;    // Uncomment this line if you use a visible sprite

    OnTouchNPC:    // Triggers when the defined area is walked into
        unitwarp 0, "this", -1, -1;    // Warps invoking monster to random cell on the same map
        end;

}

Note: Sorry for the mistake on the other board lol. I have since replied to your topic there as well.

Alternatively (as the server administrator), you could temporarily unblock the player's account and log into it; use @changegm <target player's name> to pass control over to a different player (must be online). Even if you were to run a database change via NPC script, it wouldn't update ownership properly until the server is restarted.

Very nice; simple enough to adapt to eAthena as well. Thanks for the share.

Aside from hiding auto-trade venders (lol, a simulation of the former use of @afk?), what purpose does this command actually serve? I'm aware that it so evidently removes the vending board, but what conventional use would the command be for? Issues with this are:

Simulated @afk (false/fake population)
Cannot buy anything from the stores (since the windows are hidden)
Is this map-wide or server-wide?

I can't really see the much use in this; however, if you could clarify as to what good this command would do, it'd be nice to know.

March 18, 2013

Must be a pretty nice client mod; I've yet to hear of a client that supports more than 2000 View IDs, let alone over 28,000 of them. Perhaps you've confused the item ID with the view ID?

http://rathena.org/wiki/Custom_Items#View_IDs.2C_Having_A_Custom_Item_Without_Xray

March 18, 2013

^Can a mod please codebox this? D:

And uh. In your accessoryid.lua, these numbers are way too high. These are supposed to be your ViewIDs, not your Item IDs.

ACCESSORY_ARCHANGEL_WINGS = 20000,
ACCESSORY_ARCHDEMON_WINGS = 20001,
ACCESSORY_ARTIC_WINGS = 20002,
ACCESSORY_BLOOD_WINGS = 20003,
ACCESSORY_BLOODY_BUTTERFLY_WINGS = 20004,
ACCESSORY_DARK_FAIRY_WINGS = 20005,
ACCESSORY_DEVILING_WINGS = 20006,
ACCESSORY_DRAGON_WINGS = 20007,
ACCESSORY_ELEMENTAL_WINGS = 20008,
ACCESSORY_FIERY_WINGS = 20009,
ACCESSORY_GARGOYLE_WINGS = 20010,
ACCESSORY_GREAT_EVIL_WINGS = 20011,
ACCESSORY_ICE_WINGS = 20012,
ACCESSORY_INCUBUS_WINGS = 20013,
ACCESSORY_LESSER_GARGOYLE_WINGS = 20014,
ACCESSORY_LITTLE_ANGEL_WINGS = 20015,
ACCESSORY_PHASER_WINGS = 20016,
ACCESSORY_RETRIBUTION_WINGS = 20017,
ACCESSORY_SUCCUBUS_WINGS = 20018,
ACCESSORY_VAMPIRE_WINGS = 20019,
ACCESSORY_WHITE_FAIRY_WINGS = 20020,
ACCESSORY_WING_OF_BALANCE = 20021,
ACCESSORY_BIG_ANGEL_WINGS = 20022,
ACCESSORY_WING_OF_AVALON = 20023,
ACCESSORY_BLUE_BUTTERFLY_WINGS = 20024,
ACCESSORY_COLOR_WINGS = 20025

They should be around the same numbers as these:

ACCESSORY_NEW_RED_HELM = 941,
ACCESSORY_NEW_RED_VALKYRIE_HELM = 942,
ACCESSORY_NEW_SILVER_VALKYRIE_HELM = 943,
ACCESSORY_NEW_WHITE_VALKYRIE_HELM = 944,

So like 945, 946, 947...and so forth for your new items. You might need to recompile your LUAs into LUBs again, too.

ACCESSORY_ARCHANGEL_WINGS = 945,
ACCESSORY_ARCHDEMON_WINGS = 946,
ACCESSORY_ARTIC_WINGS = 947,

Here's the item script. See the 945 for Arch Angel Wings?

20003,Arch_Angel_Wings,Arch Angel Wings,5,10,1,1,,0,,1,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,1,,1,0,945,{ bonus bMdef,7; bonus bInt,7; bonus bStr,-5; },{},{}

Change that to the correct corresponding ViewID for each wing.

If you're getting a blank .spr and .act notice in your error messages, you didn't configure your LUA files properly. If you could paste the bottom section of your LUA files here in a code box, I might be able to provide a little more input as to what's going on.

March 17, 2013

Sounds like you've either got a missing sprite or didn't assign the proper ViewID in your item db. Is your client diffed to support ViewIDs up to 2000? Also, double check your Male/Female sprite folders, as well as the drop folder; you're crashing at character select because the item is (presumably) equipped and your client isn't reading the sprite properly.

March 17, 2013

If you have luac.5.0.2.exe, just rename it to luac.exe so it's more convenient to run commands. Copy luac.exe and paste it into the same directory as your LUAs. Go back up one level so you can see the folder datainfo; then, hold Shift and right-click on the folder; choose Open command window here. To compile your LUAs into LUBs, type the following:

luac.exe -o "accname.lub" "accname.lua"

luac.exe -o "accessoryid.lub" "accessoryid.lua"

This works for all LUAs; just make sure you put the correct file names in. These two commands will work for what you are trying to accomplish. When you're done, delete luac.exe from your datainfo folder and test it out.

March 17, 2013

20003,Arch_Angel_Wings,Arch Angel Wings,5,10,1,1,,0,,1,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,1,,1,0,1001,{ bonus bMdef,7; bonus bInt,7; bonus bStr,-5; },{},{}

The number, 1001, is the View ID. The number you defined in accessoryid.lua for your Arch Angel Wings should be the same as your View ID. Also, make sure that the sprite's correct file name is defined in your accname.lua file. If this doesn't solve your issue, you may need to compile your LUAs in to LUB. Similarly, if your client reads the luafiles514 folder, you'll need to add your files to luafiles514\lua files\datainfo\

@topic: As an alternative, I connected to my server with VNC and used the terminal on the machine itself to run the map-server so I could continually view the console without worrying about disconnecting.
