OTClient Otclient Irena tooltip

[zygfryd64]

I have a system for listing items on an auction, and I’d like to expand it a bit. The system works in a way that I have a database table that stores items. They have custom attributes, so I store all values in the database: auction ID, itemId, name, description, actionId, attack, absMagic, etc.

I’m planning to make it automatically send auction item listings to the Trade channel.

I’d also like to make it so that when a player clicks on an item name, a window or tooltip pops up showing the attributes of that specific item.


My question is: what’s the best technical approach to do this without overloading the server?
For example, should the server send text like [name, attack, …] and the OTClient display it in a different way?

Would that be a bad idea? Or does anyone have a better approach?

you could store all enchants text info on client side and just send number values with their index for each item.
other thing is you could add pagination on the auction so u only send a limited list to the client, but maybe changing pages can stress the server aswell.
if u are only gonna show attributes on click i dont think theres a problem tho.
