Is there a way to change the rewards on the rewards stone?

If yes is it as simple as changing the artifacts dropped in the gauntlet?

like inserting a file name into a space?

Im kinda new to scripting but i have some skills

It's pretty simple. You just have to add an entry into the XmlPointsReward.cs file in the Initialize method where you will see stuff like

PointsRewardList.Add( new XmlPointsRewards( 2000, typeof(PowerScroll), "+10 Smithing powerscroll", 2000, 0x14F0, new object[] { SkillName.Blacksmith, 10 }));

The arguments that you have to specify are the minimum points, the type of the reward, a descriptive string, the cost in credits, an itemid used for display, and any arguments that have to be passed to the constructor for the reward type.

It's similar to what you would do if you were adding items to a vendor.

updated to version 1.03
11/10/04

from the changelog

- improved the leaderboard display to track change in rank (who is moving up or down the board), and length of time at present rank.

- modified [addallpoints command to ignore players that already have XmlPoints attachments instead of resetting their points.

- added support for minimum points requirements for points rewards. A new argument was added to the XmlPointsReward constructor that allows you to specify a minimum points requirement in the reward entries in XmlPointsReward. Players will be required to have at least that many points before the reward will become available for purchase. Unavailable rewards are indicated in red in the reward gump brought up by the PointsRewardStone. This allows different tiers of rewards to be set up based on Points standings. Things are still purchased with credits, and purchases have no effect on points regardless of any points requirements.

- added the "[LeaderboardSave [filename [minutes [nentries]]][off]" command that can be run by administrators to enable/disable the periodic saving of xml leaderboard information to the specified file (thanks to stormwolff for the idea). Once turned on, it will continue to save the updated leaderboard at regular intervals (default is 15 mins). The number of ranked players to be saved can optionally be specified (default is 20). Setting this to zero saves all players. Leaderboard saving is off by default.

- implemented a system for automatic point loss if the player does not engage in pvp activity over the specified time window (default 10 points every 15 days). Both the amount of loss and time period can be configured by setting the m_PointsDecay and m_PointsDecayTime static variables. This feature can also be disabled.

i have made some serilization changes to my playermobile(for old points sytem). will i need to remove this or is it ok to remove this??

Also is there a command such as [showscore which shows a players kills above his/her head?

*im at college and cannot check!*

 

[ArteGordon]

you dont have to touch your playermobile. It wont make any difference if you leave your old points system in or take it out.

[checkpoints will display the points score, rank, kill credits, and recent kills in a little gump.

If you make the ItemIdentification skill mod suggested then you can also check other players points by using that skill and targeting them.

 

[AHappyAdmin]

i thought [checkpoints just opened a gump for the player who used the command??


im thinking off like osi? when u said "showscore" or "punkte" and it showed the points above the players head??

 

[ArteGordon]

ah, right, to show other people your score. No, not in but I'll add that. Good suggestion.

 

[AHappyAdmin]

Is there any chance u could help me mod my version? or if i made some type of script on my own somthin like

when [showscore is used show xmlpoints or whatever the points r saved as?

Or is my noobness showing 2 much ???

 

[ArteGordon]

very easy. In your command, whatever you are calling to get points, just replace it with a call to XmlPoints.GetPoints(Mobile m) which returns the points on the mobile.

so just do something like

int mypoints = XmlPoints.GetPoints(from);

// where 'from' is your player
// then display mypoints however you like.

you will also have to add the line

using Server.Engines.XmlSpawner2;

at the top of your script.

Doesn't work for me....

I droped in the XMLspawner files, and I droped in this point system, shard loads. etc... players get the commands and etc... but its not working, no points are being given out, when I use the [getatt command on a player it doesn't show me their recent kills or deaths and their points are still at 100. Any idea where I went wrong?

 

[Seven]

Does anyone have a live example of this script they could show me so I can look at it? If you do IM me your shard or PM me it

sounds like you didnt perform installation step 6 of the xmlspawner installation which involves a 1 line change to Scripts/Gumps/ReportMurderer.cs. It is needed to register player kills to the system.

(edit)

also, the [getatt command will open up a gump showing all attachments on the target, so you should see the xmlpoints attachment listed and you can open up the properties gump (with the button on the left), or display the points information by hitting the question mark button on the right.

 

[v1ck]

thanks that fixed it

 

[Seven]

v1ck can i see this in action on your server/ i want to see it b4 i install it

 

[AHappyAdmin]

i have a shard you can look at it on
its called west side pvp ill put it up in like 3 hours from now so u can see it.

im gonna try adding new rewards to the stone and get a [showscore command workings

 

[ArteGordon]

Here is the code that I have added (will be in the next update) for the showpoints function. You can try it out if you like.

It is the equivalent of the OSI "showscore" and will display overhead points when players say "showpoints".

It isnt a command so players will see you actually say showpoints, like on OSI (although the points appear before, instead of after the words).

Add this around the Initialize method in XmlPoints.cs (around line 300)

replace this

		public static new void Initialize()
        {

with this

public static void EventSink_Speech( SpeechEventArgs args )
		{
			Mobile from = args.Mobile;

            if(from == null || from.Map == null || !from.Player) return;

            if(args.Speech != null && args.Speech.ToLower() == "showpoints")
                ShowPointsOverhead(from);
        }
        
        public static void ShowPointsOverhead( Mobile from )
        {
            if(from == null) return;

            from.PublicOverheadMessage( MessageType.Regular, 0x3B2, false, GetPoints(from).ToString());
        }

		public static new void Initialize()
        {
            // Register our speech handler
			EventSink.Speech += new SpeechEventHandler( EventSink_Speech );

Great system!
I made one addition to override OnKill method:
if( killed.SkillsTotal < 6000 || killed.RawStatTotal <= 200 ) return;

This will prevent killing newbies.

 

[ArteGordon]

good idea. You might also want to put the check into the OnKilled method so that newbs dont lose points as well.
Another thing you might consider is checking to the difference in total skills/stats between the killer and killed instead of just the killed so that newbs could kills other newbs for points, but experienced players wouldnt get anything for whacking newbs.

(edit)

I dropped this into the OnKill and OnKilled methods. thanks for the suggestion.

// uncomment this for newbie protection
            //if( (killed.SkillsTotal < 6000 && (killer.SkillsTotal - killed.SkillsTotal ) > 1000) ||
            //(killed.RawStatTotal <= 200 && (killer.RawStatTotal - killed.RawStatTotal) > 20 ) ) return;
