Good Job

Excellent. This is something I have been wanting in UO for a long time. I am hoping that you won't stop posting your scripts because they are good. I know what it's like to get ridden on a forum like you have, but I have learned the best thing to do is just keep going. Never retreat. It would be bad for the RunUO community to loose you Fury.

Man, I was talking with my friend last night about something like this for a shard, and here it is
Your a good scripter, it would be a shame to see you go, here hoping you don't eh?

Ran across an odd, server-crashing error. This has only happened to me once, I've been unable to re-create it as of yet.

I've yet to see anything in the MsgGump script that would constitute a problem, but I'll continue to look and test. If anyone has anything helpful they'd like to input, be my guest. Note, I have this particular set up in a custom mobile class. I haven't had a problem up until now, if there are any issues using custom mobiles that the author would like to point out, feel free. This has only happened when several people have joined our test server, it happens with our staffmembers more often, however I have seen it happen with regular players as well.

I dont use an extended mobile class so i dont really know.. i have not seen this crash and ive been basically using this script on a live shard for months..

if i had to guess i would say maybe a problem with yer login method containing

[code:1]if ( pm.m_IgnoreList == null )
pm.m_IgnoreList = new ArrayList();[/code:1]

or this in deserialize

[code:1]if ( m_IgnoreList == null )
m_IgnoreList = new ArrayList();
[/code:1]

but has to be a problem in your custom playermobile...

Fury,

Is this the same script that was posted here:

http://www.runuo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15103&highlight=

I had crash problems with that one, it seemed to involve the system trying to display users who had logged off.

[Fury]

yea same one but like i said i know it works.. and i dont think its users logged off.. i think its same as above guys problem where users have a null ignorelist.

 

[HellRazor]

Could be. I'll give it another shot when I get the chance to see if that fixes things. Hope so, because I really liked this script! Thanks for posting it again.

Player Moble

I read somewhere that if you change the player moble it will not effect the the existing player mobles just the ones that are created after moble creation. or am i wrong on this?

 

[Fury]

no, that is something different.. that would be making a playermobile subclass.. as far as this script goes it would save new info to players and would update everyone.

 

[smoke42]

Very cool

I am going to install this to our shard soon

 

[Seven]

Oh, i forgot to ask...Is there anything that needs to be seralized desearlized?

 

[Fury]

i serialized whether the player is visable or not on the list but its not necessarily required but i assure you players will ask for it if you dont.

 

[Seven]

That means i'll have to clear my accounts again...*sigh*...if there was only a way runuo could have it where it added the new seralization desearlization to the old mobiles

 

[smoke42]

What happens if you don't do the serialize the moblies?

 

[Fury]

when people log in they will all be visible on the list.. another option which i origionally did but players still wanted more was add this to onlogin method in playermobile

[code:1]if ( pm.AccessLevel == AccessLevel.Player )
pm.Onshow = true;
else
pm.Onshow = false;[/code:1]

this way when people log in players will be visible staff will be hidden by default and you wont have to save anything.

 

[Seven]

so if i do that i won't have to seralize deseralize?

 

[Fury]

so if i do that i won't have to seralize deseralize?

that is correct.
