Full Spellbooks

[Almassey]

I was wondering how to add full spellbooks on vendors. I know how to add the spellbook to the vendors, I jsut want them to have all the spells.

[awdball]

At character creation, in the base install, a full spellbook is created in the players bankbox by passing a parameter to one of the creator methods for the spellbook, see ...\Scripts\Misc\CharacterCreation.cs

To pass parameters to vendor buy info see the docs manual page for the GenericBuyInfo ...\docs\types\GenericBuyInfo.html and the list of allowed creators are there. Pick one that accepts arguments for the item creation (last parameter of args) and add it to the Vendor script(s) of your choice in ...\Scripts\Mobiles\Vendors\SBInfo\

If you need more detailed help after trying it please feel free to post what you tried and your errors.

NOTE there is a bug that makes this a bit harder to use than just that though, see http://bugzilla.runuo.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9 for details. The short of it is for the args to work you need to add one line to your GenericBuy.cs

Missing between line 81 and 98 of Scripts\Mobiles\Vendors\SBInfo\GenericBuy.cs
is the following line to actually store the passed args into the member
variable m_Args.

m_Args = args;

Or you can add a FullSpellBook item with the following simple script. Then add that item to the vendors.

using System; 
using Server; 

namespace Server.Items 
{ 
   public class FullSpellbook : Spellbook
   { 

      [Constructable] 
      public FullSpellbook()
      { 
            this.Content = ulong.MaxValue; 
      } 

      public FullSpellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial ) 
      { 
      } 

      public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer ) 
      { 
         base.Serialize( writer ); 
         writer.Write( (int) 0 ); 
      } 

      public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader ) 
      { 
         base.Deserialize( reader ); 
         int version = reader.ReadInt(); 
      } 
   } 
}

this.Content = ulong.MaxValue;
}

public Fullnecromancerspellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();

[Maxi - II]

thanks for the reply but it didnt work,,,,,, this is what I have and when I loaded the server it did compile but when I do [add fullNecromancerSpellbook it just adds a normal full spellbook..lol

this is what I have now

using System;
using Server;

namespace Server.Items
{
public class fullNecromancerSpellbook : Spellbook
{

[Constructable]
public fullNecromancerSpellbook()
{
this.Content = ulong.MaxValue;
}

public fullNecromancerSpellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();
}
}
}


thanks for any more help

ok i think I kind of got it but still need help...... I put this in and it let the server load up and when I added the item in game I got a necrospellbook,, BUT it says it has 64 spells and when you open it it has all the necro spells plus two bad ones.... this is what I got now.......


using System;
using Server;

namespace Server.Items
{
public class fullNecromancerSpellbook : NecromancerSpellbook
{

[Constructable]
public fullNecromancerSpellbook()
{
this.Content = ulong.MaxValue;//something to do with this line... not sure what to put
}

public fullNecromancerSpellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();
}
}
}

[David]

Try this... ingame create a necro spellbook and manually add all the spells to it. Then type [get Content and target the spellbook. you will get a long number, use that instead of int.MaxValue.

[Maxi - II]

I already did try that (65535) or 0xFFFF and both didnt work......

[Mixoplix]

Here is my Necromancer Spellbook that when added will have all 16 spells in it. Hope this helps...

using System;
using Server.Network;
using Server.Spells;

namespace Server.Items
{
public class NecromancerSpellbook : Spellbook
{
public override SpellbookType SpellbookType{ get{ return SpellbookType.Necromancer; } }
public override int BookOffset{ get{ return 100; } }
public override int BookCount{ get{ return 16; } }

public override Item Dupe( int amount )
{
Spellbook book = new NecromancerSpellbook();

book.Content = this.Content;

return base.Dupe( book, amount );
}

[Constructable]
public NecromancerSpellbook() : this( (ulong)0xFFFF )
{
}

[Constructable]
public NecromancerSpellbook( ulong content ) : base( content, 0x2253 )
{
Layer = Layer.Invalid;
}

public NecromancerSpellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );

writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );

int version = reader.ReadInt();
Layer = Layer.Invalid;
}
}
}

Is there a reason you guys. bumped a 8 month old topic?

Please don't do that...is it that hard to look when the last post was posted before you bump a topic?

[Mixoplix]

Phantom,

I understand the importance of not bumping posts. However, I also understand that Almassy may not be the only person that may need this answer. The answer was not given so I gave it. These forums are for helping others, not for stifling their experience or others charity.

[Phantom]

Actually he did get his answer, David gave it to him. He had no other questions, thats how I know.

In the future don't reply or help people or help the authors of threads that have not been replied to for 8 months.

[Maxi - II]

Thanks you all it was this part I was getting wrong>>>

[Constructable]
public NecromancerSpellbook() : this( (ulong)0xFFFF )
{
}

[Constructable]
public NecromancerSpellbook( ulong content ) : base( content, 0x2253 )


and yes I figured why start a new thread when I could see if the one already regaring this topic good help me.... which it did..... thanks again.....

[DragonNick]

any place i can still find the fullspellbook.cs and fullnecro ?

[Maxi - II]

Here are both scripts just make a new note pad and name them
Fullnecromancerspellbook.cs and FullSpellbook.cs and then place in your custom folder


//##1FullSpellbook.cs

using System;
using Server;

namespace Server.Items
{
public class FullSpellbook : Spellbook
{

[Constructable]
public FullSpellbook()
{
this.Content = ulong.MaxValue;
}

public FullSpellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();
}
}
}




///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

now for the necrobook

//##2Fullnecromancerspellbook.cs

using System;
using Server;

namespace Server.Items
{
public class FullNecromancerSpellbook : NecromancerSpellbook
{

[Constructable]
public Full NecromancerSpellbook()
{
this.Content = ulong.MaxValue;
}

public Fullnecromancerspellbook( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );
writer.Write( (int) 0 );
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );
int version = reader.ReadInt();
}
}
}
