Showing MENUS on OTServ

[Linkay]

Hello.

So ... Some of you may have seen in P.O. and other OTs this "menu" which actually is the window to open a channel.

So I ask you, how is this done?

I came to some basic conclusions:
* A function (coded in sources) to open the window to choose the Channel.
* A change (sources) in channels.xml to display X channels for who have X storage, or something else.

If you don't know what i'm talking about look at this draft i make.

Thank you all, and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks again p:

Source edit afaik

This is a window made in the Tibia.exe . There's no way to create a new window type by server side. The server just fills the window.

Here you are a simple usage a this system - Subversion. Zoom for line:​

output->AddByte(0x64);

0x64 stands for characters list, not channel.

@Topic:
You have to send packet with channel list and assign to the channels some specified ID, and then handle channel open function and write proper code depending on Channel ID.

I made a LUA function for that:
doPlayerPopupList(cid, "some blabla channel", 500004, "hi", 500005, "This works", 500006, "Made by Summ :d", 500007)
params: cid, channelname, fakeid, channelname, fakeid etc. xD

It's done:
Creating a fake channellist in luascripts.cpp, sending the list to protocolgame.cpp and choosing between real channels and the "fake" list.

@Summ:
I think nicer way would be to have pairs of Name/ID, like:

doPlayerPopupList(cid { {'Some Channel', 1} })

And starting from 1 and the function itself in source would increase the value by 500k or w/e.

 

[Summ]

I don't care about the function it is just made for private use and I wanted to test how its possible.

idk how to check storage in source but here is what i use
in chat.cpp

ChatChannel* tmpChannel = nit->second;
		if(!tmpChannel || !tmpChannel->hasFlag(CHANNELFLAG_ENABLED) || player->getAccess() < tmpChannel->getAccess()
			|| (!player->hasCustomFlag(PlayerCustomFlag_GamemasterPrivileges) && !tmpChannel->checkVocation(
			player->getVocationId())))

you can add something like this

		ChatChannel* tmpChannel = nit->second;
		if(!tmpChannel || !tmpChannel->hasFlag(CHANNELFLAG_ENABLED) || player->getAccess() < tmpChannel->getAccess()
			|| (!player->hasCustomFlag(PlayerCustomFlag_GamemasterPrivileges) && !tmpChannel->checkVocation(
			player->getVocationId())) || (channelId == 9 && !player->hasCondition(CONDITION_OUTFIT, 1998)) )

this will show only channel id 9 for player who has outfit condition with subid 1998
