Deprecated Darkstar fourms

I started working on my server again, and noticed that trade:getItem() is not returning a simple ID integer anymore, but rather some type of user data. What changed? I was using trade:getItem() to find out what item ID the user was trading to an NPC. This was highly useful in several files of mine

How do I determine which item ID the user has traded now? hasItemQty is only useful when you know what will be traded, I need something for the unknown item that is traded.

I see what happened now...

Guess I have to change every instance of getItem to getItemID...

Do you really have that many custom trades or are you just not pulling changes form DSP master? Please tell me I haven't run into yet another user that thinks they have to manually edit their fork to get updates in doing drag n drop updates. The horrors I have seen where somebody updates source without updating scripts, and other nightmare fuel.

or.. you could just open notepad++ and directory replace getItem( with getItemID(
(case sensitive)

though you'll probably wanna search for getItem( first and keep open any stock dsp scripts so you can change them back after directory replace

I usually download a new repository then I have a folder with all affected files. I'll copy and paste everywhere that has a //CUSTOM CODE comment. Sometimes things will change, so I'll need to tweak it a little.

Explain? I'd love to know a simpler way.

My original number was a little exaggerated. It's already fixed. Ended up not being many places it was used - was using hasItemQty most of the time.

You can store your custom adjustments by just doing git -> stash save, pull, then pop your stash.

Thanks.

I can't help but wonder what happens when you have a code conflict though.

You "edit conflicts" in git. (if you are a tortoisegit user, do NOT choose "resolve" - doesn't do what ppl assume it does)

I edit my conflicts using tortoise's packed in diff viewer. It has a nice UI highlights all the code that needs my attention.

Pulling darkstar:master onto yourFork:yourBranch should be all you need to do to update 99% of the time, if you regularly see mountains of conflicts you should rethink what you have been doing/how you have been doing it. Examples of good practices include using block comments on npc script you are disabling and then putting your replacement code after the disabled section, and using separate files for custom SQL inserts deletions alter table and replace statements.
