Halloween 2005 Gifts - RunUO

LordHogFred · 10-30-2005, 04:03 PM

I have just made a set of halloween gifts for my players. It uses RunUO's GiftGiver script to hand the gifts out from tomorrow until the 5th of November.
I'd like to say thanks to RoninGT for his Valentines Day 2005 package on which I based my Halloween 2005 GiftGiver script.

Installation: Just drop the Halloween 2005 folder into your RunUO scripts folder.

Ok no on to what this pack contains

.

Each bag will contain:

One Spooky Lantern - 5 colours available: Green, Black, White, Red and Orange.
One piece of spectral clothing - Tunic, Boots, Cloak or Tunic (This clothing uses the transparent 0x4001 hue, appears black on paperdoll but teansparent on player.)

And finally (I like this best

) there is a 10% chance of the bag having a Oui-Ja board in it. When used the Oui-Ja board will give out a random selection of scary sounds (10 different) and a randomly rendered effect (15 different) in a random hue (10 different). That's 150+ different effects!!!

Anyway I hope you and your players all enjoy this pack

.

Happy Halloween

.

EDIT: Noticed a small error with Halloween Bag not displaying it's object properties, uploaded new archive.

EDIT2: Added a pre-filled Halloween bag to the archive that uses the same randomisers as the GiftGiver for anyone who wants to add the bags outside of the GiftGiver time period.

EDIT3: Fixed definitions problem with the pre-filled halloween bag. Also added a second pre-filled bag (HalloweenBagAllGifts2005) that comes complete with all the gifts (no randomisers).

EDIT4: Fixed the naming error in the Halloween Boots script - thanks WanderingRage for pointing that out.

Good job. I'm sure everyone will enjoy this.

zetamine · 10-30-2005, 04:50 PM

hey, thanks for this script,I got it to work. I'm just a noob.

orpheus · 10-30-2005, 04:51 PM

excellent!

WanderingRage · 10-30-2005, 05:13 PM

I downloaded your script and when I went to add a bag on my shard it did not have nothing in the bag do you half to put the items in the bag yourself or what?

The bag will be added automatically to players with it's contents from the 31st Oct to 5th Nov. However if you want I will add a pre-filled bag to the archive so you cna use it at other times if you wish

There you go just redownload the package and add HalloweenBagFilled2005

.
It still uses the same randomisers as the GiftGiver so you may want to add several bags just to see what you'll get

WanderingRage · 10-30-2005, 07:44 PM

For some reason there is an error in it.

PHP Code:


			
 - Error: ScriptsCustomHalloween 2005HalloweenBagFilled2005.cs: CS0246: (line

 27, column 5) The type or namespace name 'bag' could not be found (are you miss

ing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

LordHogFred · 10-30-2005, 07:52 PM

Ok, sorry about that.
Should work fine now

.

WanderingRage · 10-30-2005, 07:57 PM

Thanks the script seems to be working fine now.

Johabius · 10-30-2005, 08:44 PM

Right on...halloween is my favorite holiday of the year! Nice job!

dracana · 10-30-2005, 11:37 PM

Sweet! Thanks alot, this looks great... glad to see more Halloween scripts

I had a bit of an Y-file (not X-file, we're beyond that). I made a few changes (items only) to the great script you just posted. Ran it on my test-shard and whoopla. Worked like a charm. Then I uploaded the files to the public server (which is identical to the one at my comp). Put the files in and waited for the daily restart.

When the server restarted, everything compiled fine, but it didn't distribute anything... weird.. so I booted up my test-shard again to test (maybe it was a time-issue I thought), nope. Still works local. Both time/date and regional settings are identical locally and at the host where the shard is at.

I haven't changed anything in the script-files except for the items distributed (and the shard name in the text). Anyone got an idea of what went wrong? ... Since it works like clockwork locally I mean?

Unfortunatly I can't help there. I have heard things about the GiftGiver not working properly and sadly I have no idea of how to fix this. Perhaps tomorrow the gifts will be dished out, I know that doesn't really help concidering today is Halloween but sorry

. If anytone knows why this happens it would be good if they could tell us how to fix it.

Thanks

Download a rar program, such as winrar from the web. It is just an alternative to zip files. Unzip them and drop them in. HTH

That's probably what will happen... lol.

The really weird part is that it works on my local computer. I have one question though. This part:

Code:

public override DateTime Start{ get{ return new DateTime( 2005, 10, 31 ); } }
		public override DateTime Finish{ get{ return new DateTime( 2005, 11, 5 ); } }

Is the date-format defined somewhere? I mean, is it stated somewhere that it uses [YYYY](year), [MM](month), [DD])date), or does it check against the OS' date-settings. Here in Europe we use [DD], [MM], [YYYY]. (Eventhough I have the same settings localy as I do on the server, I run XP pro and the server runs Win 2003).

Thanks for the reply though LordHogFred, worst case scenario I'll do an addtopack on the items instead followed by a broadcast. I am just curious why this work at home, but not at the server.

Its still a great script, and I'll probably use the same template for other holidays/anniversaries. :-)

MetallicSomber · 10-31-2005, 04:05 PM

Boots say Dublet

but I know how it is to rush to add something lol. been up since 3am getting my shard ready for halloween and STILL adding stuff to it. Good work so far

Packer898 · 10-31-2005, 05:16 PM

I keep getting the error that HalloweenBag does not contain a definition for 'DropItem' are you missing a using directive etc...

Any idea's?

WanderingRage · 10-31-2005, 05:39 PM

I downloaded this script last night and I have no problems with this script, I got on my shard and it gave the Halloween Items to all my players. The only thing I see wrong is the Boots are named wrong

Packer898 · 10-31-2005, 05:52 PM

WIsh I could say the same but it keeps telling me that Halloween2005.cs does not contain a definition for 'DropItem'. =(
