FAQ Tutorial: Adding more AccessLevels

[Khaz]

Run through the tutorial again, step by step, and make sure you nail each piece on the head. Ensure that you're plugging the whole of the Core download into the Project -- you can see what's included in the .prjx or .cmb file when you load SharpDevelop and open the Projects tab.

Once that's done, make sure you've got everything in the right directory after compiling the executable. Scripts in the root Scripts folder, Data where it belongs, a Server.exe.config file (possibly not needed; haven't tried without it), and the rest of the shibang.

OK I got the .exe to work but the access level list in the [admin gump doesn't display the proper names. I tried this but I got errors:

 
private static int[] AccessOffsets = new int[]
{
0, //AccessLevel.Player //remains zero
1, //AccessLevel.Counselor //remains 1
2, //AccessLevel.GameMaster //remains 2
3, //AccessLevel.Scriptor //remains 3
4, //AccessLevel.Oracle //changed to 5
5, //AccessLevel.Seer //remains 3
6, //AccessLevel.Overseer //changed to 5
7, //AccessLevel.MasterScriptor //remains 3
8, //AccessLevel.Administrator //changed to 5
};
public static void Initialize()
{
Commands.Register( "FixAccess", AccessLevel.Administrator, new 
ommandEventHandler( Online_OnCommand ) );  <--FixAccess here (opps)
}
private static void FixAcces_OnCommand( CommandEventArgs e )
{
ArrayList mobiles = new ArrayList( World.Mobiles.Values );
for( int i = 0; i < mobiles.Count; ++i )
{
Mobile m = mobiles[i] as Mobile;
int newOffset = AccessOffsets[m.AccessLevel];
m.AccessLevel = (AccessLevel)newOffset;
}
}

Error #1: The Online_OnCommand does not exist in class.
Error #2: Cannont implicitly convert type server.Accesslevel to int.

Any ideas?

*Edit: I fixed the first error, but still have the second one.

[Khaz]

Try this:

public static void FixAcces_OnCommand( CommandEventArgs e )
{ 
	ArrayList mobiles = new ArrayList( World.Mobiles.Values ); 
	
	for( int i = 0; i < mobiles.Count; ++i ) 
	{ 
		Mobile m = mobiles[i] as Mobile; 
		
		int currLevel = (int)m.AccessLevel;

		int newOffset = AccessOffsets[currLevel];
		
		currLevel = newOffset; 
	}
}

Omg, i never knew how the sourecode worked.. and holy cow there are so many things i could do with it! Thanks for pointed this out with sharp develope its handy!

But...

I only touched the accesslevels and it seems that my Server.exe keeps crashing.. Error:

RunUO - [www.runuo.com] Version 1.0.0, Build 35109
Scripts: Compiling C# scripts...done (0 errors, 0 warnings)
Scripts: Compiling VB.net scripts...no files found.

   at Server.Core.Main(String[] args)
This exception is fatal, press return to exit

Here's my mobile.cs

	public enum AccessLevel
	{
		Player = 0,
		Counselor = 1,
		Seer = 2,
		SeniorCounselor = 3,
		GameMaster = 4,
		SeniorGamemaster = 5,
		Administrator = 6,
		SeniorAdministrator = 7,
		ShardOwner = 8
	}

part 2

		private static string[] m_AccessLevelNames = new string[]
			{
				"a player",
				"a counselor",
				"a seer",
				"a senior counselor",
				"a game master",
				"a senior gamemaster",
				"an administrator",
				"a senior administrator",
				"a shard owner"
			};

All help would be appreciated. Maybe ill try redownloading the sourcecode, and doing the steps over again, see if that'll do anything.. doubt it tho, in return thanks.

how strange.. i re-did those exact steps to find this time it worked... Hmm, woot for me! Maybe something was corrupted in the other sourcecode, anyhoo's its fixed now.

With the new rank structure would that allow for lvl 5-8 to have more freedom and access to functionality around the world and to have button commands for just about anything in game... Just a question as <cough> I am a noob but in age high enough lol to try to understand this....

No. Commands are designated by access level, and most of them are set to AccessLevel.Counselor or AccessLevel.GameMaster. Anything "beneath" the accesslevel wouldn't be able to use the command, so if you insert a Legend level between player and counselor, they won't have access to any normal staff commands. However, as Crepti and others discovered, anything not at player level will require some changes in order to prevent them from staying hidden while moving and doing various other 'staff' things. We worked through and fixed those up here and in the subscriber thread Crepti posted a while back.

Actually that makes perfect sense to me now. I see that by changing the levels it would then allow any players that are brought into the world and made say a gm then they couldnt go screwing up the things that the shard owner wanted to stay one way. And this allows for better control by the shard owner on his/her shard..... Thanks that made alot more sense to me hehe

[omagaalpha]

hey foolow all step when compile came up with Drawing,Windows, Color,Graphics,Bitmap could not be found
I use .net 2003

[Khaz]

I have never used VS.Net, and this guide was written for SharpDevelop. It's free, so if no one else can help you could download it temporarily

[omagaalpha]

hehehe that did it

8a) About 118 warning messages will be given, but you needn't worry about these. They are reporting multiple definitions of the same object, and return to use the base definition from the .NET framework.

What do i do? I got 118 warning and 0 errors.

You need to allow unsafe code to be compiled.

If you don't know how to do this, DO NOT MODIFY THE CORE, Being able to modify the core on your own is one thing when you ask for help doing its not going to sit well with true RunUO supporters.

[AlienX2]

Thanks Phantom

[irishdog]

Ok nice tutorial.

this is my curent set up

COunceler
Councelerranktwo
Seer
Gm
Admin
Dev
Owner

i want to make it so the owner can be the only person to make it possible to make the accesslevel owner while a dev can make every accesslevel up to dev but not owner.

so in short i am trying to make it so one accesslevel can change accesslevels but only up dev (must be a dev to change accesslevels) i know wher to make it so the dev has access to the command but not how to limit the access to this.

any help would be great

I agree with the statement, But what do you imply by "True RunUO supporters" are you saying that people who modify the core arent true supporters?. This is the kind of mentality that puts people off even looking at the core, to be labeled like this.

Like Khaz said, it's in the core. It's not in the RunUO 1.0.0 distro. If you don't understand what the core is, you definitely should not do this.

[poetawd]

Dude, I know what the CORE is !!!


I really NEED to add some new ACESS LEVEL...

I got all the programs and I did everything in the FAQ but I sont see any MOBILES.cs


Can you please tell me where it is?


look a screenshot:

[Irian]

This isn't the core. These are the scripts. Download the server source code.

[Joeku]

lmfao

[poetawd]

LOL....


I see....

I did everything right but i got a lot of errors in the SHARDCREATOR when I pressed F9 !

It said I have an error in .NET FRamework or something like that... :/

What do I need to have installed here in my PC ?

[Joeku]

.NET Framework 1.1.......
