Deal or No Deal : RunUO 2.0 : Alpha Release

Deal or No Deal​

Alpha 5.0​

by : Tiamat13​

Intro:

This system was made after the popular game show Deal or No Deal, this will be the Alpha version of Deal or No Deal as I had already released a Beta version that lacked alot of elements needed for a production shard to use. The system has be 100% redone, it no longer uses any player edits, its 100% plug and Play, as well as personalized messages, collectable dolls, smooth game play and complete sound for the audio enabled. The system also has its own debug built in so if there are any problems I'll be able to solve them fast when a admin sends me a copy of there server window when debug is on and game is running. Also included in this version was careful planning for gold sinking and gold farming, which should prevent any player from abusing the system.

Included:

• Game System
• Stage Addon
• Howey
• 26 Models
• Proper Bank Offers
• Anti Gold Farming System
• 28 Collectable dolls
• Mid Game Commercial (Motd)
• Personalized to Player

Comments:

I believe this system to be complete and free of bugs, the system was made for a production shard, if you find any problems with the system, please run game debug then respond to this thread and I'll fix them ASAP!

Version 5.0 of this system will be the last version as plans for a new optimized system is already in the works!

Thanks Alot Great Job!!

 

[Random Person]

Great script, and an awesome upgrade. Can't wait to see this on more shards!

 

[Tiamat13]

Thank you both for your replies, very kind and I do my best. I would like to also add that any ideas you might have to better the system, please post them as I believe there will be updates in the future because a painting is never finished!

Well I just played it seems great...except it wouldn't let me take the deal. There were 3 cases left I wanted the deal and I kept getting the message its not time to deal yet so I chose no deal and went to the last pick (I got more so it was ok but...)


As for future Ideas:
A configuration file so you can configure (easily) time limits and replay time.


The play of this feels so much better than the first version...Thanks Again!!

The only thing I can think of to improve this is the ability for a staff member to assume the role of the banker or howie to add some spice to the game. Other than that, its perfect!

Tru, Can you please run the game again in debug, try to do exactly what you did to experience the bug. Then on your console window, copy/paste the info so I can see where its going wrong. Also I'll add more options to the admin menu, I was already thinking of adding the commercial text to it so it can be changed there.


Edit : scrap the debug tru, the reason to your problem is really simple, as with the game show you must open the rest to see what you missed and the deal isn't actually given until you open the rest of the cases, if you look in the journal I'm sure you'll see Howey saying for you to open the rest. The only addition I'm going to add here that I missed was to also list the missed offers!

I'll look into doing that, sounds great!

Maybe look at the possess command to get some ideas.

Only one thing I've run into, and not sure if it's because I'm playing as an owner instead of a player account. When I'm done with the game, I get three replay tickets instead of one. Other than that, I haven't run into any problems yet. Great job! I've been looking forward to this release.

Also wanted to ask if it was possible to make the game board gump movable? It pretty much gets stuck in the middle of the screen using 1024 x 768 game window.

I've made the bug fixes listed above and updated main post, thanks all for reporting bugs, I try to make sure everything works 100% before releasing a system, but I'm only human.

 

[Johabius]

Thanks for the update. Much appreciated.

Don't know what I am doing wrong. Installed DonD and everything set up properly, got my game ticket, clicked on Howey, girls appeared but I can't seem to play. At the bottom it says type here but I can't type there. What am I doing wrong?

Type in the main UO window. I was confused at first, too.

Thanks for the reply Johabius. I figured it out lol. No spaces when typing the case #'s.

What needs to be changed if I want players to be able to play every 8 hours instead of 24? Would this be difficult to do? I am by no means a scripter so would need explicit details as to how and where, if possible.

Also how do I change the amount of the ticket to play the game.

BTW.. LOVE this game.. Thank you Tiamet for this wonderful script!!!

BTW.. LOVE this game.. Thank you Tiamet for this wonderful script!!!

you can change the ticket amount in the SBGameVendor.cs on line 23,

Add( new GenericBuyInfo( typeof( DoNDGameTicket ), 50000, 20, 0x14EF, 1161 ) );

Just change the 50000 to what ever you want, then you'll also need to change the amount in the DoNDAdminGump.cs on line 39,

AddLabel(3, 70, 62, @"Total Gold Taken : " + si.Game*50000);

change the 50000 to what ever you put in the SBGameVendor.cs on line 23.


To change the player reply time go into the PlayerReplayTimer.cs and from line line 51 to 83 is where the time values are, right now it gives warnings at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. you can change these to new times, for your suggection of 8 hours I would change the values to 2, 4, 6 and 8. Also in the SoNDLogin.cs change the 24 to 8 on lines 43 and 49, make sure you download the newest version I upload today, this way all the line numbers are correct to the lines in the newest update.


I'm also going to add these values as setable on the admin menu in a future release to avoid admins having to actually change the script.

Tiamat,
Thanks for an awesome job. Deal or No Deal is fun to watch and who hasn't wished they could play?

By the way, you mentioned this was an alpha release following a previously released beta. My understanding is that it would be the other way around. In a software house an alpha release is internal only, for testing without involving anyone outside the company. This is followed by a beta release where selected people outside the company are invited to test the product. After both of these comes the "final" release. (Followed by patches, patches, patches these days....)

Thanks for the nice words and the information on beta alpha, I just used them to seperate the releases. I should call it final or something!
