Converting to Mod Service

[Syntax]

If anyone needs me to convert your scripts to Mods I will do so if I can. This should show people howto do it and hopefully get some more mods out there.

what is the advantage if I use mods not actions?

 

[zakius]

Easier installation/deinstallation, possibility of disabling mode in a sec, testing modified script without deleting old because mods override previously loaded data if something is doubled, and a lot more probably, this is only stuff i found looking at mods structure and some small info

 

[Shawak]

Hmm, ok I'll try it out.

 

[GMBear]

U can help me but ur not on msn

 

[Master-m]

Its easy to do by yourself if u look at 1 of the examples, but good that you are helping others.

For me mods are useless, better to put all in data ;p

Mods are really useful. People just need to get used to them

why?

 

[chojrak]

why?

Cause i can add all into data, and i don't like when putting all into 1 file like in mods, for me grouping to creaturescripts/talkactions etc. is neater.

You can also group it in the mods folder. You can organize it your own way, and when updating it goes way faster:O.

Maybe for you, but if i like more ./data folder then i can't?

 

[Shawak]

The data/ files are easyier to use, for me.

What's mods xD?

Is a new feature inplemented in Crying Damson 0.3.5.

In a mod-script you can use actions, talkactions, movements, creaturescripts, globalevents, monsters, spells, npcs, etc...

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mod name="Example" version="1.0" author="The Forgotten Server" contact="otland.net" enabled="yes">
	<action itemid="2195" event="buffer"><![CDATA[
		doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), CONST_ME_MAGIC_RED)
	]]></action>

	<movevent type="StepIn" itemid="8292" event="script">

	if getPlayerLevel(cid) > 100 then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 25, "Bla bla bla..."
	end
	</movevent>
</mod>

In this mod-script is included an action-script and a movement-script. (If you use itemid 2195 (boots of haste) a magic effect is sended to your position, if you walk in a tile (id: 8292) and you are level 100 or more you get a message).

The upside to mods is great, heres the main reasons

• Easy disable/enable
• Easy to install. Just paste 1 .xml file into a folder.
• Easy to read descr, config.
• Shows who created the mod and howto contact for support.
• Makes it easy to update to a new distro, just copy ur .xml files to new mod folder.
