Beta Tasks (again )

basically post anything glitches, problems with server, things that need to be fixed etc.. here
also those of you that have made lists of things that need fixing can you post them here as well

stuff done today:
- tutorial island completed - no teleing, exp-lock on, dwarven miner fixed, combat instructor moved, no dying
- tut island is now done
- thieving readded into server

So far I can only come up with herblore and agility. The new agility really needs some work.

Edit: Fletching needs to be fixed too.

Global:
- Equiptment interface wont let you exit unless you teleport somewhere else
- Cache problems change objects at home
- Balanced training needs to have a warning so you wont lose gear
- Sims minigame is still there
- Portals dont say where they go? maybe add a textbefore teleporting
- NPC at mage bank doesnt work [PK Points]
- Quests need to be done
- Dragon bones dont give exp

Agility:
- Agility course needs to be done

Fletching:
- Add spinners emote
- Link it up

Herblore:
- Herblore, when using mortar it wont grind, and dont know how to level :S

thanks guys finished my last exam now so more time woo

New task --

had a bit of a problem with the agility area because of the amount of code
i needed to add to get the majority of obstacles working so far i got the code too large
error so ive removed the agility obstacles and readded it in at a different point in seperate
cases.. it now works again ive also taken out woodcutting and mining to remake them properly

so beta testers i need you to go to the agility arena and test the objects work both from both
sides and the ones that dont please post it here or show me ingame so i can fix.. thank you!

How is agility that bad? All you need to do is an emote and give exp.

you havent seen the new agility area... :/ if uve ever played real rs its the one in karamja (think thts right) above the volcano with like 30 different obstacles and its more like a minigame thn agility but u get agility exp for it anyway.. yh its tht.. emote and give exp i think not?

you make a new case for each objects id so...

case 3151 -- lets say its monkey bars
if(absX = 2490 absY = 2348) - this means that this perticular code only happens from this area
forcewalk(2345, 2349, 932) example: place to walk to - coords, and gfx for the walk - meaning you have to find the right gfx not so bad with gfx list but some of the gfx are missing
public int agilityskill[1]; - declares the new agility exp for that obstacle which i added to load from a text file
giveExp = agilityskill[1]; - gives exp to declared agility
resetwalk; - gives continous movement of the gfx
break; - stops it from continueing onto next object

thats just one obstacle from one side to the other side e.g. climbing over a wall
then you have to take into consideration getting back across the wall the same way you came
over which requires another code...

so thats 2 pieces of code per obsticle -- lets say 30 obsticles at least i would say - thats 60 object codes which have to be able to run.. not to mention anything else you might like to add
such as agility rewards or whatever..

so forgive me for making agility a little bit more than clicking an object and getting exp and actually making it into something decent but its not an easy job.. :/ + to begin with i did it in
if(objectID == **** && absX == *** and absY == **** -- which takes even more code
and ive shortened the way of giving exp since the first time..

bit of trivia: per method your only allowed a certain amount of code and funnily enough 60 object methods is enough to break that limit so you have to spread it out and make it smaller and more compact so that it doesnt lagg the server.. the reason people use the gnome course is because it requires like 7 objects and people cant be bothered to code in new objects and most people wouldnt know where to start on making a code that forcefully moves your player to another direction even though its already in most clients! :O

anyways im done ranting now


[edit] and then you have the problem of how should you link it.. using process - lagg ur server so much you can only have 3 players on or using an event manager - the wiser decision of the two... not perfect but not wasting server processes

[edit 2] oh and i would put it into a seperate class file and load it from there except im only just learning to experiment with stuff like that and havent quite learned about packaging and stuff yet :/ when i can do that i wont worry about this so much

oh, i thought you were talking about the gnome one.

He means the Brimhaven Agility Arena.
