Animated Text Support for OT Client 10.98/99 - TFS 1.3

Void_ · Jan 8, 2018

I discovered that OT Client can support animated text in higher client versions of tibia. To do this its very simple.

Open up compat.lua and find

Lua:

function doSendAnimatedText() debugPrint("Deprecated function.") return true end

and replace it with this

Lua:

function doSendAnimatedText(message, position, color) return Game.sendAnimatedText(message, position, color) end

Open up game.cpp and find this

C++:

void Game::addCreatureHealth(const SpectatorHashSet& spectators, const Creature* target)
{
    for (Creature* spectator : spectators) {
        if (Player* tmpPlayer = spectator->getPlayer()) {
            tmpPlayer->sendCreatureHealth(target);
        }
    }
}

and place this right underneath

C++:

void Game::addAnimatedText(const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color)
{
    SpectatorHashSet spectators;
    map.getSpectators(spectators, pos, true, true);
    addAnimatedText(spectators, message, pos, color);
}


void Game::addAnimatedText(const SpectatorHashSet& spectators, const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color)
{
    for (Creature* spectator : spectators) {
        if (Player* tmpPlayer = spectator->getPlayer()) {
            tmpPlayer->sendAnimatedText(message, pos, color);
        }
    }
}

Open up game.h and find this

C++:

        void addCreatureHealth(const Creature* target);
        static void addCreatureHealth(const SpectatorHashSet& spectators, const Creature* target);

and place this right underneath

C++:

        void addAnimatedText(const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color);
        static void addAnimatedText(const SpectatorHashSet& spectators, const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color);

Open up luascript.cpp and find this

C++:

registerMethod("Game", "reload", LuaScriptInterface::luaGameReload);

and place this right underneath

C++:

registerMethod("Game", "sendAnimatedText", LuaScriptInterface::luaGameSendAnimatedText);

Then find this

C++:

int LuaScriptInterface::luaGameReload(lua_State* L)
{
    // Game.reload(reloadType)
    ReloadTypes_t reloadType = getNumber<ReloadTypes_t>(L, 1);
    if (reloadType == RELOAD_TYPE_GLOBAL) {
        pushBoolean(L, g_luaEnvironment.loadFile("data/global.lua") == 0);
    } else {
        pushBoolean(L, g_game.reload(reloadType));
    }
    lua_gc(g_luaEnvironment.getLuaState(), LUA_GCCOLLECT, 0);
    return 1;
}

and place this right underneath

C++:

int LuaScriptInterface::luaGameSendAnimatedText(lua_State* L)
{
    // Game.sendAnimatedText(message, position, color)
    int parameters = lua_gettop(L);
    if (parameters < 3) {
        pushBoolean(L, false);
        return 1;
    }

    TextColor_t color = getNumber<TextColor_t>(L, 3);
    const Position& position = getPosition(L, 2);
    const std::string& message = getString(L, 1);

    if (!position.x || !position.y) {
        pushBoolean(L, false);
        return 1;
    }

    g_game.addAnimatedText(message, position, color);
    pushBoolean(L, true);
    return 1;
}

Open up luascript.h and find this

C++:

static int luaGameReload(lua_State* L);

and place this right underneath

C++:

static int luaGameSendAnimatedText(lua_State* L);

Next open up player.h and find this

C++:

       void sendCreatureShield(const Creature* creature) {
           if (client) {
               client->sendCreatureShield(creature);
           }
       }

and place this right underneath

C++:

        void sendAnimatedText(const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color) {
            if (client) {
                client->sendAnimatedText(message, pos, color);
            }
        }

Now open up protocolgame.cpp and find this

C++:

void ProtocolGame::sendVIPEntries()
{
    const std::forward_list<VIPEntry>& vipEntries = IOLoginData::getVIPEntries(player->getAccount());

    for (const VIPEntry& entry : vipEntries) {
        VipStatus_t vipStatus = VIPSTATUS_ONLINE;

        Player* vipPlayer = g_game.getPlayerByGUID(entry.guid);

        if (!vipPlayer || vipPlayer->isInGhostMode() || player->isAccessPlayer()) {
            vipStatus = VIPSTATUS_OFFLINE;
        }

        sendVIP(entry.guid, entry.name, entry.description, entry.icon, entry.notify, vipStatus);
    }
}

place this right underneath

C++:

void ProtocolGame::sendAnimatedText(const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color)
{
    if (!canSee(pos)) {
        return;
    }

    NetworkMessage msg;
    msg.addByte(0x84);
    msg.addPosition(pos);
    msg.addByte(color);
    msg.addString(message);
    writeToOutputBuffer(msg);
}

Finally open protocolgame.h and find this

C++:

void sendVIPEntries();

and place this right underneath

C++:

void sendAnimatedText(const std::string& message, const Position& pos, TextColor_t color);

Here is a demonstration of this in action

The code used in the video demonstration, this goes in login.lua

Lua:

    local pos = player:getPosition()
    local colors = {5,30,35,95,108,129,143,155,180,198,210,215}
    for i = 1, #colors do
        addEvent(function(x, c)
            Game.sendAnimatedText('this is where i spawned', x, c)
        end, i * 1000, pos, colors[i])
    end

This should work in any version or distribution which supports at the very least TFS 1.x code structure but given enough knowledge in C++ anyone can adapt this to their distribution (within reason of course)

Awesomedudei · Jan 11, 2019

TFS 1.3 10.98

Followed everything to 100% and client crashes 1 second after joining the world.

Ahilphino · Jan 11, 2019

you need otclient to use this
it will crash in normal client because cipsoft removed ability to use animated text with letters in some client after 9.x

Thanks for letting me know.

Working good on TFS 1.2 too but i change one function:
this
SpectatorHashSet
to
SpectatorVec

on all scripts and working

You are best!

Can no stack text?

Do what @gicu0770 said

Change SpectatorHashSet to SpectatorVec

Im using it and working like it should

how to use that above tps?

edit:
nvm just solved it

johnsamir · Jun 29, 2021

Would this work in other protocols ? like 8,6 i mean by the packets sent by the server

Lua:

msg.addByte(0x84);

I tried but was having console errors, any clue about how to use this code in 8.6 protocols?

Code:

attempt to index a number value
stack traceback:
        [C]: at 0x7ff72d1e2950
        [C]: in function 'doSendAnimatedText'
        data/actions/scripts/premium1.lua:8: in function <data/actions/scripts/premium1.lua:5>

zaptos · Jan 4, 2023

sendAnimatedText is removed on my repo what can i replace it with?

data.pos:sendAnimatedText("Get your reward!")

data.pos:sendAnimatedText(string.format("Boss Fight\n%s", data.chest.boss.name))

Felipe93 · Jan 4, 2023

how to use in c++??

g_game.sendAnimatedTex(getPosition(), TEXTCOLOR_WHITE_EXP, "Extra melee");
