[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Virindi Chat System v. 3.0.0.0 has arrived! (Alphas 3 and 4*)

	VCS version 3 is finally (at least from my perspective) here! This version includes a spiffy new GUI as well as a few rule and action improvements. You can now specify more than one action for each action number, and the GUI makes it easy to choose colors for things. It all makes a big difference in editing rules! Check out these screenshots: http://questers.polarism.com/viplugins/VCS3-1.gif http://questers.polarism.com/viplugins/VCS3-2.gif Go here to get it: http://questers.polarism.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=16313 If using alpha 4, the cool looking 'V' icon won't be there. Deal. -----signature----- Virindi --- *Virindi Plugins FAQ** http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/Virindi_Plugins_FAQ http://www.virindi.net - Virindi Tank, Follower, Integrator, Reporter, VCS5, XPHelper, Item Tool, HUDs, etc...

	I tried to make a rule for the Temple of Forgetfullness, but VCS does not 'see' the messages from there - any idea why? It appears as an /tell, in lblue. My rule: ----------------------------------- //Skill drop/raise [32]<1,0>{any}Malar ----------------------------------- [Action32] Sound=hyssop.wav ----------------------------------- -----signature----- Chazcon - Aluvian swordsman You say, "FOR THE VITAE!"

	I have some distaste actually helping you out because of your varied polychromatic comments regarding Decal Devs, but I might as well anyway. It looks like a tell, but it's not really a tell. It comes in differently from tells. This is for a couple of reasons, one of which is so you don't reply to it, the other of which is so it can look different. -----signature----- Hazridi of WE, VT, HG, SC Decal Core Dev - http://www.decaldev.com - Beta at http://www.decaldev.com/beta

	<<I have some distaste actually helping you out because of your varied polychromatic comments regarding Decal Devs, but I might as well anyway. >> Wait, me or Chaz? I assume you mean him... <<It looks like a tell, but it's not really a tell. It comes in differently from tells. This is for a couple of reasons, one of which is so you don't reply to it, the other of which is so it can look different.>> VCS doesn't just capture tells; it gets everything in achooks.chattextintercept(). I've personally intercepted messages from vendors, which are also not actually tells, using the previous version of the plugin. <<I tried to make a rule for the Temple of Forgetfullness, but VCS does not 'see' the messages from there - any idea why? It appears as an /tell, in lblue. My rule: //Skill drop/raise [32]<1,0>{any}Malar [Action32] Sound=hyssop.wav>> Without VCS, the Temple messages appear in yellow. You need to put your Malar rule ABOVE the normal tell rule. Also, versions of VCS prior to 3.0.0.0 only allow actions 1-20. VCS3 allows actions with any integer value (you probably shouldn't use -1, as the GUI assigns -1 to all patterns you type in that don't have actions). Also remember that VCS 3.0.0.0 no longer uses settings.ini and instead uses the different format actions.txt. The filter.txt is pretty much the same, though...it expects there to be an action bracket before everything, but if it's not there it won't die. Once you load the rules and then resave them (it saves everytime you change anything or click the save button in the general tab) it should add a new square bracketed bit to the line. I KNOW that your temple messsage rule works. I just tested it out to make sure. Some other rule must be catching the text first, such as the example rule that changes /tells to light blue. Also, if you want to only catch messages from the Temple and not also messages from players with 'Malar' in them, you can always just do this (I copied and pasted the line from the Temple speech to be sure it is correct): [32]<1,0>{yellow}Guardian of the Temple of Forgetfulness tells you, "Bring me the essence of Malar and I will let you pass." -----signature----- Virindi --- **Virindi Plugins FAQ** http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/Virindi_Plugins_FAQ http://www.virindi.net - Virindi Tank, Follower, Integrator, Reporter, VCS5, XPHelper, Item Tool, HUDs, etc...

	----- yes, Drakier is talking about me, I take full responsibility for my acidic comments. EDIT to remove all this, no place for this here----- Yes, I did have that rule placed AFTER my /tells rule, simple simple mistake, I know better, and I apologize for taking up your time. Also, I am using Actions through 32 and they all work, haven't hit a limit yet shrug. -----signature----- Chazcon - Aluvian swordsman You say, "FOR THE VITAE!" Ru tells you, "CHAZ!"

	I just finished creating some nice installers for both VCS and Virindi Booter.
