[Tut] [317] Changing Players starting inventory

[-fedexer-]

Okay... A very simple tutorial here, I whipped it up in my spare time.

Purpose: Okay... This will allow people to start with items in their inventory, only once.

Difficulty: 2

Assumed Knowledge: Copy and paste.

Server Base: pimpscape, cheezscape, testscape

Classes Modified: Client.java

Procedure

Step 1: First off , open up your client.java and look for:

public int lastlogintime;

below that, add:

public int hitems = 0;

Step 2: Next, look for:

} else if (token.equals("character-height")) {
						    heightLevel = Integer.parseInt(token2);
						}

Below that, add:

else if (token.equals("character-hitems")) {//-fedexer-
						    hitems = Integer.parseInt(token2);
						}

Step 3:Now, look for:

characterfile.write("character-lastlogintime = ", 0, 26);
			characterfile.write(Integer.toString(playerLastLogin), 0, Integer.toString(playerLastLogin).length());
			characterfile.newLine();

Below. add:

characterfile.write("character-hitems = ", 0, 19);// -fedexer-
			characterfile.write(Integer.toString(hitems), 0, Integer.toString(hitems).length());
			characterfile.newLine();

Step 4: Now, above any public void, add this void:

public void startingitems() {//-fedexer-'s coding
hitems = 1;
addItem(1049, 10);
addItem(1039, 10);
addItem(1041, 10);
addItem(1043, 10);
addItem(1045, 10);
addItem(1047, 10);
}

Step 5: Now, change the items in the:

addItem(xxxx, x);

to whatever you want the players to receive in their inventory when they log in.

In addItem(xxxx, x); the first 4 x's are the item id's and the last x , is the amount of that item, remember if you want to have more than one item the id's for them must be noted items.

Step 6: Lastly, search for:

//openWelcomeScreen(201, false, 3, ((IPPart1 << 24)+(IPPart2 << 16)+(IPPart3 << 8)+IPPart4), lastlogintime);
MainHelpMenu();
		//openWelcomeScreen(201, false, 3, (127 << 24)+1, misc.random(10));

Below, add:

if(hitems == 0) //creds to -fedexer- for this
		{
		startingitems();
		}else{
		sendMessage("no starter items for you (made by -fedexer-) ");
		}

Okay... that's it, people. Now once a player logs in they will get the items that you want them to get and every time they log in after that they wont get anything , so they only get the items once, now you don't need to have your mods running about trying to dish out starter packs
