writeField Function (adding and editing PT fields)

[Vormav]

You adding new map to writeField.cpp, increasing totalFieldsNumber by one and adding name of your map to writeField.h.

 

[Vormav]

UPDATE:


1.17.6
- fixed problem with placing NPC on field
- names of old pre AoR fields have old_ prefix


1.17.6

Pre AoR fields:
new fixed names with prefix old_

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

You need to delete your old pre AoR fields files and copy those from download to both server and client.
To add NPC to "old_" field you need to add "old_" prefix to your .ase, .spm and .spp files in GameServer\Field\ folder.
Also recompile .dll's and place then in server and client folders.

Thanks gzuz for reporting bug.

I have a file with writeField, but I want refresh and when I change .dll I can't login. Can anyone help me ?

 

[Vormav]

Could you tell me what do you mean by "refresh"?

 

[bobsobol]

I took "refresh" as "clean and rebuild all" :/:

 

[HappyJJ]

Update... sorry, i used the wrong word ...

 

[Vormav]

If you are using CFF Explorer to add .dll to client than remove .dll from .exe, save changes and add it again. Also ASM CALL writeClientField once again. Address sometimes change when size/structure of .dll change.

When i press ctrl + R i don't see the CALL...

This game.exe has writeField, but i want update it and i can't..

@EDIT
With a new game.exe worked, but i want use this game.exe ... Can anyone help me ?

This new game.exe doesn't have writeField and i can add the writeField

 

[bobsobol]

Actually, that's a lot of why I said you should always use the CALL to address pointed to by game.exe import address table pointer. It's not easy, because that is a much larger instruction, but even if you place your CALL in the internal (game.exe) function, it's better than CALLing directly into a DLL which may be loaded (because it *is* loaded "dynamically") at a completely different address, if the executive loader decides that it's preferred address is not free in this processes "flat" address space.

@HappyJJ

1* You don't see your old call because your new call pointing to function in .dll, check your address in unmodified .exe
2* When you are removing .dll from .exe press press rebuild import table, when you are adding .dll be sure that create new section in selected and also press rebuild import table.

using unmodified.exe's address...

UPDATE

1.18.7
- added new map "sod-2"
- remodeled "Fall_Game" code for new version of "Fall_Game"

DOWNLOAD

Offsets are set to tkPT 2.3.4
"sod-2" map is same old sod-1 map but in new space, in official server it is a SoD map for lv1-79.
"Fall_Game" is same old map but with new look and new minigame, most likely it will need additional server side code to start (?)
New tKPT have some additional informations for GM in overlay (weapon ID and number?)

I also updated links in first post.

 

[jeroenen9]

How do i Install those Old_ files? Don't I need a .ase file or something?

 

[Vormav]

You extract them to "\Field" folder in client and server.

 

[jeroenen9]

No .ase file? just extract and make new folders like Old_dungeon? okay .

--EDIT--
My server crashes when I copy the folders (Old_dungeon etc) to my server field folder. However when i copied the rest, the map ingame just loads. Do I need to change anything?

 

[Vormav]

What do you mean when you say that you copy "rest"? Your server should have Field folder from client and you should extract my OLD_ maps to it.

If server is crashing than check if you added writeServerField.dll correctly. Everything is in first post.

 

[jeroenen9]

I copied all the folders (old_dungeon etc) to my field in the client. I copied everything in Map and title and copied in both client and server. However when I try to copy the folders also to the field in the server, the server crashes. The strange thing is, the maps work just fine in game now. (except I have no Idea how to go to the maps besides using /field and there are no npc's/mobs spawning) Do I need to leave things as they are?

And also where are the spm and the spp files? I guess I need to make those myself? (Then i'm screwed 0.0)

 

[Vormav]

I don't know why your server is crashing, maybe your files got corrupted. Try redownloading them.
Without maps in server folder, server won't know where ground is.
You can go to old_ fields only by using /field command (because they are not connected to new fields) unless you add scroll to your server that will teleport you there.
You can copy other spm, spp files and rename them to old_ names to add mobs.

 

[jeroenen9]

There seems to be an error with the dungeon files. Only when I add those the server got runtime error. I try redownloading

--Edit--
Redownloading doesn't help. There is something wrong with either my server, or the files :S, ... It seems it are not only the dungeon files. I will look into it. The maps in game just work fine. Weird.

 

[Vormav]

Delete all .bmp and .tga files in server Field folder.
