[src]Notice Messages (with comments)

[Orkl]

Seeing as I stopped working on HBXP source because too many nubs pissed me off, i'm going to release some of the stuff I made.. Not sure if its any use, but I had fun with it.

Basically it will display a random message every few minutes, can be useful for reminding people of stuff, or whatever you want to put in there..

Anyway- here's the code.

In HGServer ->> game.cpp

FIND:

Code: Select all

void CGame::OnTimer(char cType)

ADD at the top:

Code: Select all

	int q; //added for "advertiser"
	char cAdvert[1000]; //holds the text for the "advert"
	ZeroMemory(cAdvert, sizeof(cAdvert));

FIND

Code: Select all

	if ((dwTime - m_dwGameTime3) > 3000) {
  SyncMiddlelandMapInfo();
  CheckDynamicObjectList();
  DynamicObjectEffectProcessor();
  NoticeHandler();
  SpecialEventHandler();
  EnergySphereProcessor();
  m_dwGameTime3 = dwTime;
	}

ADD BELOW:

Code: Select all

	//Orkl: Advertiser Code
	if ((dwTime - m_dwGameTime7) > 800000) { //Timer
   switch(iDice(1,10)) { //Pick a random advert
//Change these to whatever you want to display
    case  1: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert1"); break;
    case  2: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert2"); break;
    case  3: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert3"); break;
    case  4: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert4"); break;
    case  5: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert5"); break;
    case  6: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert6"); break;
    case  7: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert7"); break;
    case  8: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert8"); break;
    case  9: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert9"); break;
    case 10: wsprintf(cAdvert, "SERVER: Advert10"); break;
   }

  	for (q = 1; q < DEF_MAXCLIENTS; q++) // Check all clients
  	{
     if ((m_pClientList[q] != NULL))  // Check if client is active
    	{ //Send message to server.
      SendNotifyMsg(NULL, q, DEF_NOTIFY_NOTICEMSG, NULL, NULL, NULL, cAdvert);
    	}
  	}
  m_dwGameTime7 = dwTime; //Reset timer so it doesn't spam :D
	}
	//end

In HGServer ->> Game.h

FIND:

Code: Select all

DWORD m_dwWhetherTime, m_dwGameTime1, m_dwGameTime2, m_dwGameTime3, m_dwGameTime4, m_dwGameTime5, m_dwGameTime6, m_dwFishTime; 

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

DWORD m_dwWhetherTime, m_dwGameTime1, m_dwGameTime2, m_dwGameTime3, m_dwGameTime4, m_dwGameTime5, m_dwGameTime6, m_dwGameTime7, m_dwFishTime; //Orkl - added 7 for advertiser

->>Save all & build

Basically this will display one of the 10 messages to the client every time the timer goes off.. You can change the time to whatever you want, but what its set as works quite well.

Suggestions for adverts:

"SERVER: Welcome to ~SERVER~, we hope you enjoy your stay"
"SERVER: Please vote for us by visiting: <a href='http://SERVER.EXTENSION' target='_blank'>http://SERVER.EXTENSION</a> and clicking on the buttons!"
"SERVER: Please dont annoy GM's for events, if a GM is free, they may do an event"

You get the idea..

Enjoy

i want xml based advertismen list with popup and banner :unsure:

[SlammeR]

i think this is allready coded but unused by servers o.O

take a look on

Code: Select all

BOOL CGame::bReadNotifyMsgListFile(char * cFn)

just create a new txt named notice.txt and add the following txt

notify_msg = ENJOY OUR SERVER

I noticed that.. but my server didn't seem to like it.. meh, can do it either way I guess.

  	SendMessage(m_hWnd, WM_USER_STARTGAMESIGNAL, NULL, NULL);
  	m_bIsGameStarted = TRUE;
  }
	}

There's your problem there:

CHANGE::

Code: Select all

void CGame::OnTimer(char cType);

TO::

Code: Select all

void CGame::OnTimer(char cType) {

-and-

CHANGE::

Code: Select all

ZeroMemory(cAdvert, sizeof(cAdvert))

TO::

Code: Select all

ZeroMemory(cAdvert, sizeof(cAdvert));

Make sure you copy + paste or re-write code correctly >.>
