[Release] Level Ticker

[falkman]

I just made this because I think it's a neat little feature.

It simple displays the header '<Name> has reached level <level>' when a player levels up.

Open up your LevelsPacket.cpp file and search for

void LevelsPacket::levelUP

Then right above that, add this:

void strreverse(char* begin, char* end) {
	char aux;
	while(end>begin)
		aux=*end, *end--=*begin, *begin++=aux;
}
	
void itoaa(int value, char* str, int base) {
	static char num[] = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
	char* wstr=str;
	int sign;
	div_t res;
	// Validate base
	if (base<2 || base>35){ *wstr='\0'; return; }
	// Take care of sign
	if ((sign=value) < 0) value = -value;
	// Conversion. Number is reversed.
	do {
		res = div(value,base);
		*wstr++ = num[res.rem];
	}while(value=res.quot);
	if(sign<0) *wstr++='-';
	*wstr='\0';
	// Reverse string
	strreverse(str,wstr-1);
}

Scroll to the end of the 'LevelsPacket' function and add:

	char sendstring[500] = {'\0'};
	strcpy_s(sendstring, player->getName());
	strcat_s(sendstring, " has reached level ");
	char buffer[500] = {'\0'};
	itoaa(player->getLevel(),buffer,10);
	strcat_s(sendstring, buffer);
	strcat_s(sendstring, "!");
	Server::changeScrollingHeader(sendstring);

It should look something like this once your done.

void strreverse(char* begin, char* end) {
	char aux;
	while(end>begin)
		aux=*end, *end--=*begin, *begin++=aux;
}
	
void itoaa(int value, char* str, int base) {
	static char num[] = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
	char* wstr=str;
	int sign;
	div_t res;
	// Validate base
	if (base<2 || base>35){ *wstr='\0'; return; }
	// Take care of sign
	if ((sign=value) < 0) value = -value;
	// Conversion. Number is reversed.
	do {
		res = div(value,base);
		*wstr++ = num[res.rem];
	}while(value=res.quot);
	if(sign<0) *wstr++='-';
	*wstr='\0';
	// Reverse string
	strreverse(str,wstr-1);
}
	

void LevelsPacket::levelUP(Player* player, vector <Player*> players){
	Packet packet = Packet();
	packet.addHeader(0x23);
	packet.addShort(0);
	packet.addShort(0x7C10);
	packet.addShort(1);
	packet.addByte(player->getLevel());
	packet.addShort(player->getHP());
	packet.addShort(player->getMHP());
	packet.addShort(player->getMP());
	packet.addShort(player->getMMP());
	packet.addShort(player->getAp());
	packet.addInt(player->getExp());
	packet.packetSend(player); // TODO
	packet = Packet();
	packet.addHeader(0x85);
	packet.addInt(player->getPlayerid());
	packet.addByte(0);
	packet.sendTo(player, players, 0);
	char sendstring[500] = {'\0'};
	strcpy_s(sendstring, player->getName());
	strcat_s(sendstring, " has reached level ");
	char buffer[500] = {'\0'};
	itoaa(player->getLevel(),buffer,10);
	strcat_s(sendstring, buffer);
	strcat_s(sendstring, "!");
	Server::changeScrollingHeader(sendstring);

}

nice
its for those low xp only friends servers (if it were high exp public server it would be only spammedd lol)

but great relese

 

[Lorrenzo]

whoa nice, going to test this out.

thanks

 

[brolly2000]

Thanks alot man
But im pretty sure something like this is being done in the development section
with the "printf" thingies
Maybe you can join and help them It looks like you're pretty talented
*1st post w00t*
EDITam these peolpe above me g0t 1st place before me

 

[Lorrenzo]

Hm, you have to have other things with this..
I got errors about things not being included.

 

[falkman]

If their trying to do that with printf, i already have that in my server.

All my includes:

#include "LevelsPacket.h"
#include "PacketCreator.h"
#include "Player.h"
#include "Server.h"

 

[xnBlaze]

how if they level too much, wouldnt that be annoying? o.o

 

[falkman]

It would overwrite itelf:

Aka if billy levels 1 second after jimmy.

Billy's thing would be said.

It only says it 1 at a time, so if 5 people lvl at the same time, only the most recent will be shown because it overwrites the last one.

 

[Ruezu]

Yeah, might wanna add: the inside for Server.h for the copy - pasters

 

[xnBlaze]

Seems like a nifty script to use, I'll check it out later

I keep getting

------ Build started: Project: MapleStoryServer, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

What does YOUR entire LevelsPacket look like? =\

 

[MuffledCobra]

Very cool! Thanks so much!

 

[Deleted member 471572]

I dont know what im doing wrong =/

Ive done exactly as you suggest but im STILL getting the error. and i even tried re-arranging everything.

 

[falkman]

Try to put

#include "Server.h"
#include "ServerPacket.h"

at the top...
It should work then

 

[Deleted member 471572]

OMG THANK YOU FALKMAN! adding that in worked like a charm .

Thank you. =)

 

[falkman]

No problem.

 

[elnando13]

Nvm...Thanks xD

 

[falkman]

OMG THANK YOU FALKMAN! adding that in worked like a charm .

Thank you. =)

elnando13: Read the other posts, and you would find out that i posted a fix.

 

[elnando13]

When i level with my Gm char nothing pops up..

Whats wrong.. I got the code right in C++

 

[falkman]

There isn't a problem at all, so it must be a problem with your server, or the lvling or something.
