Evolution Mercenary

What do I need to change in order to stable the Merc???

 

[coldrake]

Yes, I was also wondering what a player does when the logoff. Do they just stable the merc?

Also, I agree that he is a bit over powered. He starts off with 120 in all skills. He dropped a lich lord pretty easily. I am going to go through and tweak it down a bit myself.

Any way you can explain what happens as he progresses to each stage?

A very nice script by the way, just needs a lil tweaking for my taste.

Thanks!

Sure you can change AnimalTrainer. In folder \RunUO 1.0 RC0\Scripts\Mobiles\Vendors\NPC open AnimalTrainer.cs

On line 279 where it says

			else if ( pet.Body.IsHuman )
			{
				SayTo( from, 502672 ); // HA HA HA! Sorry, I am not an inn.
			}

add this && (!( pet is EvoMerc )) to the else if statement. So it looks like

			else if ( pet.Body.IsHuman && (!( pet is EvoMerc )) )
			{
				SayTo( from, 502672 ); // HA HA HA! Sorry, I am not an inn.
			}

Worked like a charm, thanks sadoul.

dang :<(

Thats ALOT of patches/fixes done by the time I got to the bottom.

Can someone update the download with all the patches/fixes done, with the fixed file?

 

[stormwolff]

Here is a report from one of my users

When you mount your merc on a ethral mount and the merc dies the mount disapears.

 

[sadoul]

It is updated

For every bug/fix I did I updated the download too. When someone edit's their original post with the bug/fixes, that usually means they fixed them in the download. If the current download has a bug in it please post.

However, as I said I in my original post, I wasn't near done with this and I only posted it because I had quit working on it. I posted it so some of the amateur scripters like myself could learn from it, or get an idea from it.

stormwolff, thanks for the bug, I'm updating it right now : )

Here is the fix, just add this in EvoMerc anywhere in his public class. I added mine right after serialize/deserialize.

		public override bool OnBeforeDeath()
		{
			Mobile from = this.ControlMaster;

			if ( from != null )
			{
				if ( this.Mount != null )
				{
					for ( int i = 0; i < this.Items.Count; ++i )
					{
						Item item = (Item)this.Items[i];

						if ( item is IMountItem )
						{
							IMount mount = ((IMountItem)item).Mount;

							if ( mount != null )
							{
								mount.Rider = null;
								if ( mount is EtherealMount )
								{
									EtherealMount ethy = (EtherealMount)mount;
										if ( from.Backpack != null )
											from.Backpack.DropItem( ethy );
								}
							}

							if ( this.Items.IndexOf( item ) == -1 )
								--i;
						}
					}

					for ( int i = 0; i < this.Items.Count; ++i )
					{
						Item item = (Item)this.Items[i];

						if ( item.Layer == Layer.Mount )
						{
							if ( from.Backpack != null )
								from.Backpack.DropItem( item );
							--i;
						}
					}
				}
			}
			return base.OnBeforeDeath();
		}

Thanks for the update and here is another report for you:

My merc's sword ran out of durablity and broke leaving him with just his fists to fight with. I can't equip a new weapon.

I know you can equip at level 6, but that may be a long time for some users stuck with using only fists.

 

[sadoul]

Did you try?

stormwolff did you try doing "mercname undress" and then equiping him?

Darkblade, that is because there is a folder named "SERVER WITHOUT EVOLUTION DRAGON" and your KPcommand is in that folder.

 

[stormwolff]

stormwolff did you try doing "mercname undress" and then equiping him?

I as a gm can equip it after his weapon is broken but the two players I have testing it can't seem to do it. The mercs in question were only level 3.

 

[dstarz20]

I see StormWolfes Post about Ethereal, but how do I get him to mount an Ethy? I had the statue on the gruound and in his pack, say "Chumpy, Mount with no luck. Thanks.

 

[Arkryal]

I like it. I did a similar script for a squire a while back (it's in subscriber submissions). But your code is much cleaner. I think I'll apply some of the principals I used there to this script, kinda like working from a clean slate. a full revision of my old script using this as a much improved base to work from. Lots of fun. Great job.

 

[khlh2002]

I think these Evo scripts are great. Thank you guys for all the hard work. I am not very good with scripts but i am learning. Could some 1 post a toned down version of the script or show me what i need to change. I have tryed with no luck yet. thanks for the help.

 

[Sir Xuse]

not surer maybe i missed it.

But didnt say here if there was a way to resurect the merc...If it was mentioned sorry..

 

[Allantois]

If your Merc is named "A" and you say SHEVA mount it will mount cause it catches the last part of the string.
Similarily if your merc is named "ACE" and you say PACE MOUNT it will mount
how to fix this.
Thanks.

[Sir Xuse]

Two the armor and wep are poo....
He loses them to soon, not that its not fixable but just reporting....

 

[Loverboy]

if you script special armor and weapon you can either set the durability eceptionaly high or make indistructable

 

[Sir Xuse]

i can yes....

....but say this was my package id have no prolem doin so....
I was commenting is all that maybe it should have been Invul. items in pack yes.
