Increase "npctalk" range

[Dori]

Hello rathena,

 

I want to increase the range of the displayed message from 'npctalk'. Currently I can't see the message within 10-11 cell range.

How do I increase this?

 

Thanks for any help.

Could just use announce or force the player to sit through the NPC's dialogue? I'm thinking dispbottom might work as well but don't know if you can sleep through that and freely move your character...

npctalk use the same system like when a normal player talks, if you modify the SRC to increase the value, the displayed message for players will increase too.

Anyway if you still want to do this, go to src/map/clif.c and search the following:

 

case AREA_CHAT_WOC:
map_foreachinarea(clif_send_sub, bl->m, bl->x-(AREA_SIZE-5), bl->y-(AREA_SIZE-5),
bl->x+(AREA_SIZE-5), bl->y+(AREA_SIZE-5), BL_PC, buf, len, bl, AREA_WOC);
break;

As you can see, you can see the value 5, thats the value that what is the range in any direction, so if you want to change the range, you only have to change that value.

 

Dont forget to back up your original files, and to recompile. You can test and play with the values to the choice that you like more.

PD: Anyway, you can create another case and another map_foreach... but the modifications are a little more large in the source... 

(Sorry if some words are incorrect or I made no sence in some parts)

area_size: 14: If the 14 means the amount of cells, it doesn't make sense why I couldn't see the chat being displayed from 10 cells far.

[Emistry]

because 10 cells isnt far enough if compare with 14 cells... O_O

 

for your information 10 is lesser than 14..

I'm really confused   If that's the case then shouldn't I be able to see the message displayed with npctalk within the 10 cell range?

check all the changes that you have done to the server.

 

previously I remember I tested with the range of 300 cells away.
