Load npc by specific date!

[chucky91]

Hello everyone, I bring here a modification for those who like nostalgia TFS 1.2 by @Ezzz .
I created this script to determine a specific date to load the Npc on server startup.
In npc.h

int startMonth = -1, startDay = -1, endMonth = -1, endDay = -1;

In npc.cpp

bool Npc::load()
{
    if (loaded) {
        return true;
    }

    reset();

    ScriptReader script;
    if (!script.open(filename)) {
        return false;
    }

    while (true) {
        script.nextToken();

        if (script.Token == ENDOFFILE) {
            break;
        }

        if (script.Token != IDENTIFIER) {
            script.error("identifier expected");
            return false;
        }

        std::string ident = script.getIdentifier();
        script.readSymbol('=');

        if (ident == "startmonth") {
            startMonth = script.readNumber();
        }
        else if (ident == "startday") {
            startDay = script.readNumber();
        }
        else if (ident == "endmonth") {
            endMonth = script.readNumber();
        }
        else if (ident == "endday") {
            endDay = script.readNumber();
        }
        else if (ident == "name") {
            name = script.readString();
        }
        else if (ident == "outfit") {
            script.readSymbol('(');
            uint8_t* c;
            currentOutfit.lookType = script.readNumber();
            script.readSymbol(',');
            if (currentOutfit.lookType > 0) {
                c = script.readBytesequence();
                currentOutfit.lookHead = c[0];
                currentOutfit.lookBody = c[1];
                currentOutfit.lookLegs = c[2];
                currentOutfit.lookFeet = c[3];
            }
            else {
                currentOutfit.lookTypeEx = script.readNumber();
            }
            script.readSymbol(')');
        }
        else if (ident == "home") {
            script.readCoordinate(masterPos.x, masterPos.y, masterPos.z);
        }
        else if (ident == "radius") {
            masterRadius = script.readNumber();
        }
        else if (ident == "behaviour") {
            if (behaviourDatabase) {
                script.error("behaviour database already defined");
                return false;
            }

            behaviourDatabase = new BehaviourDatabase(this);
            if (!behaviourDatabase->loadDatabase(script)) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    time_t t = time(nullptr);
    tm* currentTime = localtime(&t);

    if (startMonth == -1 && startDay == -1 && endMonth == -1 && endDay == -1) {
        // NPC doesn't have a specific date.
        script.close();
        return true;
    }

    if (currentTime->tm_mon + 1 >= startMonth && currentTime->tm_mday >= startDay &&
        currentTime->tm_mon + 1 <= endMonth || currentTime->tm_mon + 1 == endMonth && currentTime->tm_mday <= endDay) {
        // Current date matches NPC date.
        std::cout << ">> Loading Npc " << name << " by calendar" << std::endl;
        script.close();
        return true;
    }

    // NPC is not supposed to appear at this time
    script.close();
    return false;
}

Then edit the Npc you would like such month and day and how long he would stay on the server.

# GIMUD - Graphical Interface Multi User Dungeon
# santaclaus.npc:
startmonth = 12 #December
startday = 10
endmonth = 1 #January
endday = 10
Name = "Santa Claus"
# Outfit = (looktype,head-body-legs-feet)
Outfit = (160,0-93-93-114)
Home = [32362,32207,7] #thais
Radius = 3

Behaviour = {
@"gen-santaclaus.ndb"
}

if you want it to always appear just put nothing or comment the lines.
#startmonth = 12 #December
#startday = 10
#endmonth = 1 #December
#endday = 10


good enjoy.
