can someone script ground tombs in

[tazm]

dont know if it would be hard but ground tombs would be sweet or even field manuals in all underground places

[altalus]

Sorry for necro posting but...

It is not hard. It takes lots of time. This summer I had access to retail and lot's of time and I was able to add a bunch of them but I faced a few problems:

- I was the only one working on it
- Some mobs had not been placed in their own mob group so I had to modify quite a few entries in the SQL.
- I need to have the POS of ALL the grounds tome in a zone to be able to place them in the NPC_list.sql. This took a lot of time (and I was parsing the zone).
- You need to write a LOT of lua files for the mobs, that's the easy part.
- Not wanting to break fielsdsofvalor.lua I copied the logic and created a new groundsofvalor.lua and you need to write all the regime id/kills for that page. Easy, but takes time.
- You need to test each pages one by one to make sure all is working.
- I never found how to only show the correct amount of pages when you talk to the grounds tome. Some GoV has 3 pages, other 7... and there's a total of 10 pages showing by default.

I am ready to revive the project and create a branch to work on it if I have volunteers to help

[Altreer]

I would be happy to assist you, since I would likewise see grounds of valor implemented. Just tell me what you need me to work on and I'll help out.

[altalus]

Ok, I'll try to find my old code and I'll create a branch to work on it. Once the branch is created I'll give it to ppl here and we can work on this

I love git, don't you ?

[altalus]

BTW I did not forget you all. I created a new branch and I am committing old code in right now. As soon as all the files are in, we will need to check the npc_list.sql and mob_something_I-have_to_check_which_one.sql to make it happens

[gedads]

Most ground's tome should be in npc_list already, if a few are still missing, tell me which one i'll try to get the remaining ones.

[altalus]

Good to know...

But there seems to have some errors in the DB

I will then start loading the NPCs. Only need to find how to get the ID from DB to lua

[gedads]

all names should be changed to grounds_tome now. to get the id, polutils can help you i think

[altalus]

I know the devs changed the way the NPCs are coded in the DB from the old long id to this new small id. In the lua I still need to spawn using the old long id right ?

[bluekirby0]

I couldn't tell you what it is offhand but there is a static number you can add to a short id to get a long and vice-versa
