I am almost sorry for being boring, but I actually plan on releasing a new version of this package, with multitasking support.

Well, it seemed to be the fastest way while keeping the complexity at bay.
If you don't the code will be twice as long (and slow).
I am not sure if I got the multithreaded part .. There should not be any race conditions. Well, technically.

Not really fully my work (because I reverse egineered someone else's packet library to compose it)
But it allows some unusual visual effects to be done (such as realistic smokes and semi-transparent explisions on 2d clients), thats why I decided to release it.

PS: I appologize for my certain ...

I know that many scripters do "cache" some of thier data in cprops (or locals) which otherwise would be resolved by long, iterative lookups. Therefore I came up with a unified solution. I am not sure if it will be helpful, but I used it a lot when I scripted for POL shards.

Suppose you need to find ...

I promised to release dbaccess package which enables a limited communication with MySQL databse
from eScript which I wrote recently.
Unfortunately I can only give a very little support for this script, because of an absence of free time.

It mainly consists of dbaccess package which is an AUX ...

Thank you for your reply.
No I don't have AssertionFailureAction in my pol.cfg.
Yes I have dump files, but they aren't really comprehedeable.

Taking that the hardware is OK, my shard on 96 core started to crash at random point of time.
The first symptoms - it stops executing all the scripts + none is able to log-in, but if you are inisde the game you can talk and walk freely. Nothing else works. When trying to ctl+c and save, it gives a ...

I am really not sure what tags you can use in HTMLGump, but if you do it like that:

"<BASEFONT SIZE="N">" while varying size from 1 to 20, the font will change along.

I also use Distro's GUMP package nowadays, so I am not sure I know the exact routine for creating the HTML gump.

Thank you for your explanations. I am thrilled that people are eager to explain things.
I will keep that in mind.
Thanks Yukiko for the detailed view on SQL thing. Storing world data in SQL would not be feaseble considering the nature of current script sets (which use cprops rather extensively for ...

I am wondering if there is a proper place at the forums where I can contribute my own packages.
I happened to write my own SQL package recently which allows storing cprops in MySQL database. Not sure if its helpful to the community though; I am aware that everything that starts with SQL word is ...

I realized you can only do it in HTML gumps.

It seems that was the issue here. It helped.
Thanks a lot. This community is really eager to help, I got more feedback for 2 days than I would expect for 2 months.
I hope I could be helpful to the community one day as well.

Thank for your taking time to answer.
I had the exact copy of the shard on my PC and I tryed to log in.
The console is silent (apart from saying that somebody have connected, but no errors shown).
I am able to connect with both 4.0.0 and 2.0.0 clients (encryption removed), but 5x just hangs before ...

Well I am concerned about CPU cycles as well, but if I choose between getting something done (probably not the fastest way possble), or posponding it to laters because it will take forever to do it the elegant way. I'd choose to have it now. Isn't that the reason they actually invented high level ...

We aren't based on distro, so I can't really know if there are any problems in it. I just wanted to point out that thats probably the most confusing thing I ever encountered and leads to many scripters with POL92 background (me including) to creating bugs. Anyway if you beleive in such things as ...

-I wonder if we could have some basic OOP support. Not something fancy with polymorphism, but on a level of having structures with methods inside.

-I suggest if we could have access to some really fast low level data structures, like plain arrays.
And that we could access them cross-scripts ...

I am running on 096 core, can't make any of my clients to login with ML client. Having version 5.0.9.1 with encryption removed still doesn't help. It hangs on entering realm screen. Does anyone know what could possible be the case?
Thank you.

I actually searched the forum for the answer and couldn't find anything on the topic.
I mean all built-in GUMPS use different fonts, I wonder if its possible to script as well.

That one puzzles me greatly. Why couldn't they just be float or something.
Actually I came across numerous of bugs because of this.
