Public Gates

[hieddie]

Intresting....

The reason that I said "respective places" is because, when I unzip the file, it creates different folders. I assumed that thoes file were to go in the directories that were named, if that makes any sence? So I coppied the files that were created in the new folders to the old folders with the same name, and put the other files that were not in folders in the scripts/ folder. I guess that is where I screwed up. I am going to try to just unzip the files to my scripts/ folder and check to see if that works. Once I am ingame I will do that other thing that you said to do. Thanks for your help on this, I really think that this script would hel out alot!
Brilliant even!

No, they don't have to go in any specific folder. If you got the server to compile, you don't have to worry about anything. It's all a simple matter of organization.

 

[hieddie]

I am sorry to bother you!

Once I get everything in the scripts/ folder and restart the server and do the [initpublicgates, it says 0 public gates generated. So I removed the public gate in Brit. Then I clicked the gate control stone ansd still no public gates were generated. So I placed one and still I dont get the options that you described.

*Note: When I restared the server to told me that no c# or VB.net files were found for compiling???

Thank you so much for your help

*Refers people to the main page*
I know this sounds mean, but the last few questions by people are completely answered in the main page under 'Installation' and 'Instructions'.

Also, it probably didn't say that none were found for compiling, it probably said that there were no errors. I'm not at home right now, so I can't really check what the main window says when it compiles, but I can tell you that it's not important in this matter.

I have read everything in this post, and I am still slightly unclear on a couple of areas.

When you use the command to clear all the gates, does that clear the default distro gates, or gates from your system?

I think I get this part, but I just wanted to be clear. When you do [gengates, it places gates from your gate system in all of the locations that the default distro gates are in as long as you used [initpublicgates true (or whatever it is)?

Another thing is, when adding a new category such as staff gates, how do you let the gate system know what facet you are using with the coordinates? I remember using a different custom gate system, and I had a bitch of a time with it always teleporting you to the wrong facet.

Sorry if these have been answered 16 thousand times, but after reading all 7 pages of posts, my brain is a little clogged with crap.

The commands in this system are for this system only...so the [remgates will remove any gates from this system. If you want to remove all default 'PublicMoongate's you need to do '[global delete where publicmoongate' (there is no command to do it, so you just delete them all)

I think I get this part, but I just wanted to be clear. When you do [gengates, it places gates from your gate system in all of the locations that the default distro gates are in as long as you used [initpublicgates true (or whatever it is)?

[gengates command is also just for this system. It will generate all gates that are contained in the system. If you have initialized the system with 'true' (distro locations), then it will generate all of those as well as any others you have added. The command simply loops through all the locations that are stored and checks to see if you want them generated.

Another thing is, when adding a new category such as staff gates, how do you let the gate system know what facet you are using with the coordinates? I remember using a different custom gate system, and I had a bitch of a time with it always teleporting you to the wrong facet.

If I remember right, you don't set the facet (map) on categories. You set them on the individual locations. So you make the category, then make a location in that category. In that location you can select which map it goes to.

Thanks man, That clears it up for th emost part. Thanks for the great script, it is exactly what I have been looking for.

Suggestions to improve one of the best sctipts ever

First I would like to say that I have been playing with this gate script all afternoon, and I have yet to make it crash or find a bug. Great features. Good work.

I had a couple of suggestions:

1) Make it so that there is a Deed item. That way players could purchase them for player run towns. Is it possible to have the deed add the gate, add the location of the new gate to the system, maybe using a gump so the player could select the correct options?

2) Make it possible to have more than one gate system. I think that might be difficult, but it would be handy in a few cases.

3) I know this one has been asked before, but possibly add an option under the edit menu to charge gold for going to a certain location.

The next version will probably have something along these lines. And, yes, it is possible to do all those things from a deed/gump.

2) Make it possible to have more than one gate system. I think that might be difficult, but it would be handy in a few cases.

It wouldn't be too difficult I don't think, but I don't think that I'll be doing something like that in the next release.

3) I know this one has been asked before, but possibly add an option under the edit menu to charge gold for going to a certain location.

This probably will be in the next version as well.

Thanks Ceksu for reporting a bug where Razor players could access the AddEdit gump and modify locations. Added AccessLevel checks to hopefully prevent any modification both in the OnResponse of the main gump and the AddEdit gump.

BUG:
Cannot walk over the gate when a spell is loaded.
Cannot walk over the gate if in battle or Criminal.
Its giving a rubberbanding effect.

I think it's intentional and not a bug but I'm not sure.
You better wait for A_Li_N to confirm it tho.

That is intentional as that is it is with a normal public moongate, or any other moongate for that matter.

this is the best srcipt ever u got my vote!!

 

[Joeku]

Found a small typo, thought I'd report it. Line 139 of PGControl.cs:

			Category = new PGCategory( "[COLOR="Red"]Tonuko[/COLOR]", (EntryFlag)Flags );

Should be "Tokuno"

 

[Prohor Meletevich]

What about "young" players? I found only options for "reds" and "staff"...
