Sending everyone 1 item?

[Matt Clarke]

Hi guys, on my server today something sprung to mind.

How would I send an item, say Fireworks to every character on the server.

I just want to know how I would go about doing that sort of thing, maybe it is in the Lua functions in-game? Or maybe its to do with the database? I don't know.

If someone has the Answers please let me know.

Thanks a lot guys! :D

ITEM_SEND_TBL I think? Look into a vote system and just write a query for it.

[ShadowDragon]

He wants to send items to players that are currently online. ITEM_SEND_TBL requires a relog for them to recieve it.

[Matt Clarke]

Yeah, I need it so that the players receive the item in-game when they are online. Just for an Example a Firework to celebrate an event.

Look at spikenbror's BillingAPI. Make it work to whatever you want to do it with.

From the top of my head:

<?php
// Include the API.
include("./api/procedural.php");

// Create a connection to MsSQL and select the character database.
$mssql_socket = mssql_connect("SQL Server", "Username", "Password", false);
mssql_select_db("CHARACTER_01_DBF", $mssql_socket);

// Create an array of items.
$adbill_objects = array();

//Get MsSQL account names of who's online
//Send an item to every character on account(If no other way to figure out /which/ character is on)?
//run a while() and insert a new element for each PLAYER ID
//$adbill_objects[] = billing_create_item(01, {PLAYER_ID}, {ITEM_ID}, {Quantity});

// Send items.
billing_send_items("127.0.0.1", $mssql_socket, $adbill_objects);

// Close MsSQL connection.
mssql_close($mssql_socket);
?>

He was asking about a way to do it in-game. That would certainly work, but it would require accessing a website control panel or something

[spikensbror]

If he wants to do it in-game, make a command like /allci or something that can create an item for all characters currently online, then make the command iterate the player pool and add item to each player.

[ShadowDragon]

That's a good idea, but unless you have some C++ knowledge, not really possible. I've done so to create a GM's online command, usable in-game. But I had to make a new function in order to iterate through the online players.

[Matt Clarke]

Thanks for the reply's guys. I dont mind it being web-based or Client based just as long as I can do it haha. I've taken a look at spikens API and I'll see what I can do with it and see if it works.

Thanks again guys.

This may work

BOOL TextCmd_CreateItemToAll( CScanner& scanner )
{
#ifdef __WORLDSERVER
	map<DWORD, CUser*>::iterator it;

	for(it = players.begin(); it != players.end; ++it)
	{
		DWORD dwNum;
		DWORD dwCharged		= 0;
		ItemProp* pProp	= NULL;

		if( scanner.tokenType == NUMBER )
			pProp	= prj.GetItemProp( _ttoi( scanner.Token ) );
		else
			pProp	= prj.GetItemProp( scanner.Token );

		if( pProp && pProp->dwItemKind3 != IK3_VIRTUAL )
		{
			if( pProp->dwItemKind3 == IK3_EGG && pProp->dwID != II_PET_EGG )	// ¸®¾îÆêÀ» »ý¼ºÇÏ·Á°í ÇÒ °æ¿ì "¾Ë"ÀÎ °æ¿ì¸¸ »ý¼º °¡´ÉÇÏ´Ù.
				return TRUE;

			dwNum	= scanner.GetNumber();
			dwNum	= ( dwNum == 0? 1: dwNum );
			dwCharged	= scanner.GetNumber();
			dwCharged	= ( dwCharged == 0 ? 0 : 1 );
			
			CItemElem itemElem;
			itemElem.m_dwItemId		= pProp->dwID;
			itemElem.m_nItemNum		= (short)( dwNum );
			itemElem.m_nHitPoint	= -1;
			itemElem.m_bCharged		= dwCharged;

			it->second->CreateItem( &itemElem );
		}
	}
#endif // __WORLDSERVER
	return TRUE;
}

Here php based on the billing api.
Suggest you run this localhost(on the server!) and make it unaccesable by everyone but you.
Ofcourse i used this for other perpuses hehe :P

<?php
$Server_IP = '127.0.0.1';//IP
$m_idPlayer = (INT)000000;//player id start
$ItemID = 26456;//Item id
$ItemCnt = 99;//item count
$MaxPlayerId = 100000; 

for($i = 0; $i < $MaxPlayerId ; $i ++)
{
    $m_idPlayer ++;
    $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
    
    $packet = pack("VVVVV", 01, $m_idPlayer, 0, $ItemID, $ItemCnt) . str_pad("IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII", 21, ' ') . pack("V", 1);
    if(socket_connect($socket, $Server_IP, 29000))
    {
        socket_write($socket, $packet, strlen($packet));
        }
    socket_close($socket);
}
?>

Credits to yannickmamma for the base tough(I think it was him)

Lol, MisterKid, that PHP script is very inefficient. Just do a quick CHARACTER_TBL query to retrieve all m_idPlayer values for people who have a MultiServer value that is not 0.

[MisterKid]

But what if you don't have acces to sql?:P I just copy pasted it quick and removed the ip xD
But yea what ShadowDragon42 said get all the id's from the database.

[Matt Clarke]

Alright guys, thanks for all your help, going to try them all out.

One thing I would say, would there be a way to do it using the Event files in the Resource, but not restarting the server each time I update it?

Thanks again guys.
