Needs help debugging custom status icon indicating vip status [0 errors when compiled but nothing shows on client]

[popochun]

I have browsed around the forum and found the following threads.

[Release+Guide] Common Ailment Status Icon [Unofficial] Extra Status Icons

I followed the instruction detailed in those threads and found partial success ( server compiled and executed without any errors ). However the status icon still did not show up and I'm not sure what I missed. I'm hoping that someone might be able to point me to the right direction.

Here's what I did

Server-side:

Status.hpp:

add EFST_VIPSTATE before EFST_MAX

/// @APIHOOK_END
/// Do not modify code above this, since it will be automatically generated by the API again
	EFST_VIPSTATE = 1500,
	EFST_MAX,
};

add SC_VIPSTATE before SC_MAX

	SC_VIPSTATE,
	SC_MAX, //Automatically updated max, used in for's to check we are within bounds.
};

Status.cpp

add the following line into initChangeTables function

	StatusIconChangeTable[SC_VIPSTATE] = EFST_VIPSTATE;

 map/script_constants.hpp

export script efst_vipstate constant 

export_constant(EFST_VIPSTATE);

 

Client Side:

Create "custom.grf" and set itas the first index in DATA.INI

add required files into data\luafiles\lua files\stateicon (efstids.lub, stateiconimginfop.lub, stateiconinfo.lub, stateiconinfo_f.lub)

add vip status icon called  "VIP1.TGA" to data\texture\effect

data\luafiles514\lua files\stateicon\efstids.lub:

add EFST_VIPSTATE to the bottom like so:

	EFST_REF_T_POTION = 1169,
	EFST_ADD_ATK_DAMAGE = 1170,
	EFST_ADD_MATK_DAMAGE = 1171,
	EFST_VIPSTATE = 1500,
	__newindex = function()
	error("unknown state")
end
}

data\luafiles514\lua files\stateicon\stateiconimginfo.lub:

point EFST_VIPSTATE to the .tga file (in PRIORITY_WHITE section)

		[EFST_IDs.EFST_AURABLADE] = "icon04.tga",
		[EFST_IDs.EFST_HELLS_PLANT_ARMOR] = "hells_plant_armor.tga",
		[EFST_IDs.EFST_VIPSTATE] = "VIP1.TGA"
	}

data\luafiles514\lua files\stateicon\stateiconinfo.lub:

add description to the end of file

StateIconList[EFST_IDs.EFST_VIPSTATE] = {
    descript = {
        {"VIP STATUS"}
    }
}

 

Testing

To trigger vip: I use a usable item with the following script

vip_time 60;

To see vip status: I used the following script with on PC login event to display status in the chatbox and add effect/status effect to activate status icon.

OnPcloginEvent:
	bonus_script_clear EFST_VIPSTATE;
	if(vip_status(1)) {
		bonus_script "{}",99999999,0,0,EFST_VIPSTATE;
		
		dispbottom "TEST EFST_VIPSTATE" + EFST_VIPSTATE;
		dispbottom "TEST EFST_MAX" + EFST_MAX;
		//not quite needed yet
		sc_start SC_VIPSTATE,-1,0;
		set .@timer, vip_status(2);

		dispbottom "--- VIP ----";
		dispbottom "==========================";
		dispbottom "VIP Player";
		dispbottom Remaining VIP duration :"+callfunc("Time2Str",.@timer);
		dispbottom "==========================";
			end;
		}
}

 

Result:

- after using vip activation item and re-login nothing shows up

- server was compiled/built/executed without any errors/warnings

- VIP status icon did not show up on the sidebar at all (other buffs showed up fine)

 

Any help would be appreciated!
