OpenTibia New NPC System

[Nostradamus]

Hello, i am Nostradamus, a not-so-old official OpenTibia developer and i am back into this project. As my first service after my leave, i am doing a NPC system to Avesta. But, i will need some help for something like suggestions and etc. Since i don't have much time to dedicate in OpenTibia currently, i will be accept code improvements or maybe functions already done.

Roadmap

1. Debugger Strackback (configurable tables and advanced error reporting)
2. onTalk event with dynamic uses of talkstates and so on (sub-talkstates will be sub-arrays of the main talkstate refered to it, messages will be handled into arrays with the input and output of the NPC (message and answer subarrays)
3. Function to list buying/selling items, teleport places and spells with filders (type of the item -> new element in array (optional): type)
4. Easy module integration
5. Improve Buy/Sell functions to accept containers with items
6. End the usage using a garbage collector
7. Messages with delay if the lenght is too big
8. Separates modules and handler to waste less memory
9. ratePrice should be later a global const for anything who uses money transaction
10. Possibility to use XML file or Lua Extras
11. OnAccept and OnDecline events
12. Long messages splited into short messages with talk delay

Modules

1. Promote
2. Premium
3. Blessing
4. Addon
5. Quest
6. Bank

Notes

Ignore the returns types, after i hope all will understand why
Since this script uses object orientation with a default class, there isn't reasons to make conditions considering if there is or not a value, since it will always be called when executing this script. The array "NPC" is a global array that will handle with all NPC scripts and with all the functions of that class.

Strucuture

• Modules (travel, shop, spell, ...)
• Auxiliar functions (functions used by all the script)
• Core (handler of all the system, it will call all the modules, functions, consts)
• Config (a file to configure some uses, later, it will have some options as extras for Forgotten and the usage of LuaSQL)

NPC Example

-- Start NPC!
NPC = NPC:new()

function onCreatureAppear(cid) 
    -- soon    
end

function onThink()
    -- soon
end

function onCreatureDisappear(cid) 
    -- soon
end

function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)        
    -- soon
end

-- Shop example

John = Shop:new(
                    BUY_LIST =
                    {
                        ["item_name"] = {id = , price = , count = }
                    }
                )
                
-- Dialog example

Dialog = Say:new(
                    [1] = {{"hi", "hello"}, "hello, my friend"},
                    [2] = {"use function", useFunction()},
                    [3] = {"msg with delay", {"msg1", "msg2", "msg3"}, delay = 2000},
                )
                
-- Travel example

Midas = Travel:new(
                        TRAVEL_LIST =
                        {
                            ["Thais"] = {price = 100, pos = {x = 100, y = 200, z = 7}, premium = true}
                            ["Edron"] = {price = 150, pos = {x = 200, y = 100, z = 7}, premium = false}
                        }
                        
-- Quest example

Terry = Quest:new(
                        ["Warlock quest"] = {recipe = {{1234, 1}, {2312, 1}}, award = {{1254, 1}, {1256, 1}}}
                )

Who wants to help, i will be giving some access to my SVN server to commit changes.

LuaSQL has been deprecated.
Also, I don't like the idea of placing everything in Lua. Sadly, but I prefer alot more the current available XML modules as buy/travel.

Really? So what it is using for? I don`t no much about Forgotten news since i were inactive.

I saw that today, well, personaly, i did not liked. Did not saw the code, but maybe this parse should use more memory. XML files (spells.xml, name-of-your-npc.xml, ...) will be deprecated in revscriptsys)
