Official 5165 FAQ/Question thread

Admin Posts : 77 GamerRep : 8 Join date : 2010-05-19

I made this thread for people who have problems with the 5165 source that just recently became public.
First here's how's you set it up.

Spoiler:

If you have any problems with the 5165 source post them here. I will try my hardest to help with these problems and if anyone knows any solutions to problems post them here as well.

FAQ:
Q.How do I clear the nobility table?
A.You go to your OldCODB and open Nobility.dat. Erase everything in it, then start up your server. In the console type in /exit then start your server up again and the nobility chart will be cleared.

Q.Is the MySQL information in the config.ini required?
A.Yes it is. I've realized if the information is wrong then you cannot create characters.

Q.Why can't GM's pk, trade, or drop items?
A.It is a system made by Tanel to keep the GM's from abusing their powers.

Q.How come once I make a character after I log in my client closes itself?
A.One possibility is you have a special character in your name.

Q.Where can I change the experience rates?
A.In World.cs look search for public uint ExperienceRate and change that to the number of your desire. That rate goes for character leveling as well as proficiency and spell leveling.

Q.How come I when I add new weapons I they are invisible?
A.I don't know too much on this topic, but from what is said by a lot of people, TQ uses a DBC file so a lot of stuff cannot be changed.

Q.I'm getting this error:

Spoiler:

How do I fix it?
A.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Q.Everything is setup right, why is my client crashing whenever I try to login?
A.This happens if you are using 127.0.0.1 as the GameServerIP.

Q.I'm getting an error saying the database folder does not exist, how do I fix this?
A.That means your OldCODB is not in the C:/ drive.

Q.How do I make a map a pkfreemap?
A.Search for public static ArrayList FreePKMaps and add the Mapid there.

Q.I barely opened the source and there are already errors!
A.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Looks like a bunch of nonsense right?
It's normal text encoded into binary.
Really simple to decode. If you take a look into the Empire.Info.ReadThis method you see this:

Code:: public void WriteThis(System.IO.BinaryWriter BW)
{
if (Name == null)
Name = "";
BW.Write(Name.Length);
BW.Write(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Name));
BW.Write(Donation);
BW.Write(ID);
}

From this you know its string, ulong, uint by looking at the definitions above.
I did something really simple to decode this.
I went to the ReadThis method right below this and under

Code:: ID = BR.ReadUInt32();

I put this
Program.WriteLine(Name + " " + Donation + " " + ID);
That writes the name, donation, and UID of the player on the console. Now you just /exit and close the console, open your debug file that writes everytime you exit the server and you will see your decoded Nobility.dat.
For me it writes:

[SIZE="4"]Different methods to use through NPC's[/SIZE]
There are different things you can do with NPC's, first I will teach you the basics.
[SIZE="2"]How to teleport:[/SIZE]
The action used to teleport is GC.MyChar.Teleport(Mapid, X, Y); That's the way to teleport. For example, if you want the npc to teleport the character to the center of Twin City it would be
GC.MyChar.Teleport(1002, 438, 377);
[SIZE="2"]How to give a character an item:[/SIZE]
There are a few different method for giving characters items. In character.cs you will see a couple of listed voids and they are:
public void AddItem(uint ID)
-which is just using giving them item with no extra bonuses.
public void AddItem(uint ID, byte Plus)
-which is the itemid then then plus amount.
I think its pretty simple on how to use them
GC.MyChar.AddItem(410339);
GC.MyChar.AddItem(410339, 12);

you should add to the title of this topic something about "and 5165 Server Setup" or something like that so people will know it is more than just a FAQ thread when they join the forum
