Corpse Retrieval System 2.0

[krazeykow]

Corpse Retrieval System 3.0

Supported Versions: RunUO 2.0 [RC1 & RC2]

Updated to Drag and Drop Installation - Previous Users need not Reinstall

*Special thanks to Vorspire for showing me the death delegate.

Summary

Do players complain about spending countless hours running to their corpse? The solution has arrived with the interactive corpse summoner. With an adjustable price, the summoner will list the last five corpses with loot for the player to choose from. The readout gives Time Life | Items Present | Gold Present, to help the player choose the best corpse. When selected, the corpse will be brought to the player's location.

Features

*Requires no core modifications
*Remembers the last five corpses with loot
*Through [props - becomes banker, healer, priced healer
*Cleans empty corpses to improve server performance
*Provides 'role-play' like summons for RP servers

Installation

Two Choices:

CorpseRetrievalPackage - Without those with XML spawner, however an invisible item is added to player's backpack to keep track of corpses.

CorpseRetrievalPackage_UsingXMLSpawner - An invisible item will not be added to player's backpack, but XML Spawner is required. - Thanks to datguy

[Rhionnan]

Great script that works well, Thanks for sharing.

[Liacs]

These zip file problems are starting to annoy me. Could you please attach the file as a .cs? I cannot access the .zip.

Thanks a lot!

Lia

[Hanse_T_Insane]

Same here, the zip is not working.

[Rhionnan]

the steps to fixing this

1. extract file
2. rename extract file and add .zip
3. extract new zip file

all should be good

RunUO forums on occasion double zip uploaded files

[razzles]

Nice script. I'll definately check this one out. +Karma

UPDATED to version 2.0.1

***Note to users upgrading from 2.0 - Remove all files associated with version 2.0 AND *A slight modification has been made from older PlayerMobile.cs Modification (This is due to packaging the program)

[Hanse_T_Insane]

I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Works fine but where does the 'revival' center show?

You can access 'revival' options through the mobs properties... I think I may need to clear that up, the mob (CorpseSummoner) itself is the 'revival center'

Updated the information, thanks : )

I love this!!!! the option for retrieving 1 of 5 corpses is great!!! and i really like the part that shows you if you actually have anything on the corpse in the first place.

Thanks again for the awesome Submission

I agree, its a wounderful script, I mis understood the post, but I am enjoying this alot. I have placed them in the harder area's myself.

[Zaphieon]

been attempting to alter the price a bit differently.. maybe you can help me out alittle

I am trying to get the price to basically scale with the players Fame.. there for new players wouldnt be charge as much as some richer players.

and i like this idea alot.

Brilliant Idea!! Should it be based on fame?? Or increases based on account's age... then maxes at a certain point.

If you're going to do this fame idea


//Line 399

public void GetCorpse(Mobile m)
        {
            m.CloseGump(typeof(CorpseMenu));
            m.SendGump(new CorpseMenu(m, m_CorpsePrice, this));
        }

Change (m_CorpsePrice) based on (m)'s fame... if this makes sense.


**Edit**

I like the idea of varying price based on fame/accnt age ... I'm trying to think how to make this user editable.

I"m thinking: It will cost less based on player skills (the script will automatically find max skills of server then let Admin choose increment of price by amount of skill.)

[Zaphieon]

ok this is what i did bud.. with this code you can still adjust the price. just set it low for example

setting the corpse price at 5 would result in a 5k corpse retrieval for a Lord or lady.

but for a new player very low.. say 500 fame would be 5 * 500 / 10 = 250g

        public void GetCorpse(Mobile m)
        {
            		m.CloseGump(typeof(CorpseMenu));
            		m.SendGump(new CorpseMenu(m, (m_CorpsePrice * m.Fame / 10), this));
		
        }

This is what i am trying to get to work.. but i am a bit rusty and dont know how to make it work to playermobile for the Young check

        public void GetCorpse(Mobile m)
        {

	pm = (PlayerMobile)m;

	    if ( pm.Young = true )
		{
            		m.CloseGump(typeof(CorpseMenu));
            		m.SendGump(new CorpseMenu(m, m_CorpsePrice * 0, this));
			m.SendMessage( "Young one, I shall retrieve your corpse free of charge.");
		}
	    else
		{
            		m.CloseGump(typeof(CorpseMenu));
            		m.SendGump(new CorpseMenu(m, (m_CorpsePrice * m.Fame / 10), this));
		}
        }

[krazeykow]

You would want to create a local variable using as operator.. I'm not super familiar with C#

PlayerMobile pm = m as PlayerMobile;

If you run into anymore problems, just make a submission in script support ..sorry for the slow response, : )

Also updated picture to show more of the summoner and his minion in action... (I love to see reaction of players when the minion morphs) : -)

Love this system but I have a question concerning the corpse books. I have been watching the people who use them and the corpse books that drop where they die don't seem to decay. Is this intentional and if yes could the purpose be explained a bit so I can set a timer for their decay without disrupting the rest of the system.

Thanks

corpse books are not visible to players. they hold the info for the players corpses. i personally am not seeing books drop where they die.. maybe something is off in your script.

[krazeykow]

migzilla, please make sure you have the latest version installed... the books are blessed and should not be dropping from corpse. Make sure you don't have a conflicting script either.. that would set everything to regular loottype.

Updated to 2.0.2

**Protection against backpack removed and player dies, causing crash.

Looks cool. I look forward to trying it out. Keep up the good work.
