So.. Im new to Darkstar

[markap]

I have managed to set up a server just fine. What I am looking for is some sort of scripting examples, database examples and other configuration examples so I can learn how Darkstar works for add-ons and customization as well as basic stuff like what and where is set in the database to have items in the ah that can be bought.

A simple thing, I am sure, to most of you but again I am new. Also anyone wishing to help and get involved feel free to contact me on my joke of a discord channel https://discord.gg/aZENAPs. Its just set up for me and some friends who game together. Anyway thats it, thanks for reading and any help provided.

There's plenty of scripting to look at, just browse though the folders under "scripts"
Same for the rest of your question, start looking through the code to see how the mob_pools, skills, droplist, mods, and other tables are related. There is some information on the wiki as well.

For the auction house, look at the auction_house table. I don't think you've looked at the project all that closely yet?

Also, I moved your topic out of "troubleshooting" as you're not really having any problems setting it up.

Trust me I have been looking...

I had no idea some of the development was Russian either..

So ya, easier than I thought...

I do have one issue.. Maybe someone can help.

I am trying to add NPC's to a few areas, one being the Library.

I have the PolUtils, but it appears to be really broken and Im not sure what part of it to use to find an NPC to copy. I did read on how to use the ID in another thread. But first I need to find an NCP to copy. Any suggestions?

Ive managed to open up some areas, create commands for both items and warping etc.. Pretty simple

Thanks again!

Copy what? You can create a copy of one in the db [npc_list] (obviously the ID has to be unique), but the name will show as "NPC" in the game since the client has no knowledge of it.

"You can create a copy of one in the db [npc_list]"

Well I looked but I am unable to find any of the Library NPC's in that table. Notably the NPC names in the Library are surrounded by ().

But that was the plan, find one, copy the row, paste in a new record, change the ID, change the x/y/z/r and see if it shows up. But as I said I cannot fine one entry in that table that relates to an NPC in game that is in the Libraries zone.

Is that a newer zone? We may not have the data then

[markap]

I got it figured out...

Now a new issue,,

Code: Select all

if (player:getVar("pgift") ~= 1) then
    player:setVar("pgift", 0);
end

I'm sure I screwed up the code, as it is not working because I HATE lua

I'm just checking if that Var exists, and if it does is its value anything but 1.

If it is not 1 and not nul then it should set the var.

Ive check the char_var table and the var does not exist.. am I looking in the wrong table?

[whasf]

Setting it to 0 removes the value
