• Question about commands 097

Posted: **Sun Sep 30, 2007 7:50 pm**

my question is how exactly are the commands that are individual package folders work? I mean like in the magery skill package. the seer command .spellbook is there. how does POL know that that is where that command is?

Is this with the official release package? I noticed it is very different to say the least.

yes it is the official release... it is much better organized, in my opinion, than it was before. but i'm asking how does it know where the command is? i just don't understand that.

Check out file config/cmds.cfg.

that's part of what confuses me. it doesn't point to those individual directories. like the spellbook command is in the magery package.

POL scans through enabled packets on startup and checks if there are usable command scripts.

http://docs.polserver.com/pol096/scripttypes.php -> TextCommandScript wrote: Where Does It Live?
The 'program' in a .src file, in a command level subdir of a package or /scripts/textcmd

To Define
Place the script in a command level subdir or /scripts/textcmd, or a package after defining the command level path in cmds.cfg.

Check your cmds.cfg. You probably have something like this in there:

Code: Select all

CmdLevel Player
{
    ----
}

CmdLevel Dev
{
    ----
    Alias    God
}

So, let's say you have package TEST, with enabled 1 in pkg.cfg; if you have a command script test.ecl in directory TEST/textcmd/God/, developer should be able to use it in game. If folder God is renamed to Dev, command would still work (after a boot, that is).

Answer to your question is thus: POL knows .spellbook because of its location.

And if so happens that I'm wrong and facts I told happen to be not so valid, correct me.
