QuestButton in Paperdoll

[Irian]

The new QuestButton doesn't work, of course, so here's a quick (and probably dirty) fix...

So some things have to be added in...

...EventSink.cs

public delegate void QuestGumpRequestHandler( QuestGumpRequestArgs e ); 
... 
public class QuestGumpRequestArgs : EventArgs 
{ 
    
   private Mobile m_Mobile; 
       
   public Mobile Mobile { get { return m_Mobile; }} 
       
   public QuestGumpRequestArgs( Mobile mobile ) 
   { 
      m_Mobile = mobile; 
   } 
} 
... 
public static event QuestGumpRequestHandler QuestGumpRequest; 
... 
public static void InvokeQuestGumpRequest( QuestGumpRequestArgs e) 
{ 
   if (QuestGumpRequest != null) 
      QuestGumpRequest( e); 
} 
... (in the Reset()-method): 
QuestGumpRequest = null;

...PacketHandlers.cs

RegisterEncoded( 0x32, true, new OnEncodedPacketReceive( QuestGumpRequest ) ); 
...       
public static void QuestGumpRequest( NetState state, IEntity e, EncodedReader reader ) 
{ 
   EventSink.InvokeQuestGumpRequest( new QuestGumpRequestArgs( state.Mobile ) ); 
}

That's all.
Now it's possible to create a QuestGump (for example; I would place it in Scripts/Engines/Quests/Core), which could look like this...

using System; 
using Server; 
using Server.Gumps; 
using Server.Mobiles; 

namespace Server.Engines.Quests 
{ 
   public class QuestGump : Gump 
   { 
      public static void Initialize() 
      { 
         EventSink.QuestGumpRequest += new QuestGumpRequestHandler( EventSink_QuestGumpRequest ); 
      } 

      private static void EventSink_QuestGumpRequest( QuestGumpRequestArgs e ) 
      { 
         foreach ( Gump g in e.Mobile.NetState.Gumps ) 
         { 
            if ( g is QuestGump ) 
               return; 
         } 
         e.Mobile.SendGump( new QuestGump( e.Mobile ) ); 
      } 

      public QuestGump( Mobile from ) : base( 0, 0 ) 
      { 
         // Add your personal Quest-Gump-Code here.
      } 
    
   } 
}

Very clean fix IMO :-)

Would this work if one wanted to change the functionality of the other buttons on the paperdoll? Say, sending a different skills gump than the one that is currently sent?

Thanks,

I'm not quite sure, but I think, some buttons just trigger actions in the client itself (like showing the skill-menu) and others just send a request to the server. Of course, for the skill-gump, the client has to ask the server for the skill-data, but the gump itself isn't sent from the server (I think).

So I would say, that you can just change the behavior of the buttons which just send a request to the server and don't do anything on their own (like "Help", "Guild" or "Quest"). So I personally plan to modify the client, change the caption of the "Guild"-Button (because we don't need a guild system) and use the button it to display something else (perhaps data from the extended character-system).

In this case you just would have to use the method from Scripts/Misc/Guild.cs (and delete this method, of course):

EventSink.GuildGumpRequest += new GuildGumpRequestHandler( EventSink_GuildGumpRequest );
...
public static void EventSink_GuildGumpRequest( GuildGumpRequestArgs args )
{
	// Do something here
}

But of course, I could be wrong :-)

[Noxih]

I cant find a eventsink.cs file in my scripts?

[Irian]

Perhaps because this is the "Core Modifications"-Forum? :-) EvenSink.cs is a part of the core, if you want to use the fix, you'll have to download and recompile it.
