take a look at scripts/include/NPCBackpacks.inc and see how the storage areas are used there.

Storage areas are 1 of the less documented part of pol/escript. So the best approach should be to check existing scripts for it.

yup, looking into includes is a good idea, but remember USE YOUR OWN ...

Hey!

I would need some tips on how to get a second storage system up. I want to have a new storage system of some kind that is totally secluded from the bankers. Any tips on the easiest way to go about doing this? Using new datafiles or sum? I run Pol 095.

Things you shall know:

- WebServer is an open port to attack you ( its not DOS attack ). Looka t your account file. Someone ask the server to create too many accounts at a time and this is why you lose connection with server. DOS attack doesnt need pol running on your comp...

- POL096 enable ...

Hey!

I use the built in webserver in POL to have auto account creation. But as of 2 days I been under a DoS attack on the webserver due to the guy getting caught cheating. Any way to make it more secure on Pol 095? Or is that something that requires a newer version?

Or is there any way to make it ...

Thanks, didn't know this. Now I know why a few of my scripts werent working :p

Hey, I use account.setprop to set some props. But they get deleted at restart. Do I have to add them to the cprop includes?

You did the right thing, but currently there is a bug in Defrag Statics. You could try "Defrag and Remove Duplicates Statics" that should work.
(Next Fiddler version with some Bugfixes will be released this week)


Ahh, thanks :)

How would I go about if I wanna change the map? Like remove an ...

Anyone know how to remove a big area of statics? When I used "melt" feature and then saved it removed all statics anywhere.

A thought - you can dump the T2A area and put a fairly decent area down the bottom right of the OSI map below the dungeons.


Yeah, a good thought too it seems :) Only problem is I have no idea how to edit the map file :p

Jester yes you can, but you need to edit the client.exe for that. Because ...

Tomi wrote:Impossible with 095, upgrade to 096 and you can use up to 5 at least ( not sure if Pol support more, but the latest default 2D client supports only up to 5 )

Damn, can you make the standard map bigger then? I just want to add a new area really, do not have to be mighty big.

Tomi wrote:what exactly is it what you want to remove.

some specific items from here and there ?
a big area of items in the static ?

Big area, also wondering how to build stuff like houses in the statics.

Also im wondering if u can make the map bigger too, so you got more space to add stuff.

Hey guys, I have a problem. how would I go about changing the staidx0.mul ? I just want to remove some crap that shouldn't be there. But I cannot understand anything :p

Hey all!

Just wondering if you can actually use two different map files with pol 095? And how would you fix that?

Often the prop "Quality" on the ore controls armor and damage. If you do not want to do that you could modify the damage script to raise the damage on crafted items.

Check your checkskill function. And see how it is called in the skill scripts. Should be a value when it is called that determines how many points you gain and so on.

We all didn't understand what Jester wanted, including me.
We think he wanted to unload the itemdesc.cfg.
That's not the case if i understood it now the right way.
He simple has the problem, that after changing/unloading his merchant script, the
script only reads the itemdesc.cfg in the main config ...

Here goes the definition:

You can run your shard and create items in your itemsdesc ( obviously ) while your shard is running. But. BUT! that new item cannot be created before your restard the server. You can use unload your cfgs hundread of times or cry a river it won't work if you do not restart ...

If you want to read all itemdesc.cfg it has to be:
var itemdesc := ReadConfigFile(":*:itemdesc");

But i don't think that this will solve your problem with new added items without restart.
Perhaps it's worth a try :D

Well, my problem isn't adding items, it's more like whenever I use my unload cmd ...

Imho you can't unload the itemdesc.cfg. So if you add an entry you always need
to restart the server. At least it never worked for me ;)

AI scripts can't seem to reload them after they been unloaded on their own, only a restart makes them load them again.

AI scripts reload, but you have to ...

Hi Jester,

You can use UnloadConfigFile( rootfilename ).

Exemple 1:
A config file situated in alchemy package:
UnloadConfigFile( '':alchemy:alchemypotion'' );

Exemple 2:
Reload all itemdesc from all packages:
UnloadConfigFile( '':*:itemdesc'' );

Just add the code to a command file or ...

Hey hey everyone.

Could use a bit of advice, when I unload all scripts/cfg files and so on on my server (so I do not need to restart the shard after I changed stuff) the itemdescs are not reloaded for all scripts. The AI script for merchant.src do not reload all itemdescs, only the basic one in pol ...

Thx for all the help, with your help I solved it

Just a thought, is this area with near infinite resources appended to the end of the ore.cfg file or inserted at the beginning? POL reads the config files from top to bottom and anything that comes later overrides anything that comes before. So you want your near infinite area at the bottom so it ...

Yeah, I figured all skills out except magery and combats. Cannot find anywhere in those packages where the checkskill function is called. They seem to deal with awardrawskillpoints and those dun work very well changning for me. Tips anyone?

CheckSkill had no other use for the points parameter than to do skillgain as far as I've seen it. So the points parameter is exactly what you're looking for.

Just another question. How about them combats, since they have no scripts of their own. Could it be so bad that they go through the core ...
