Login announcer

[Kallblodig]

Hello, I saw on a private server earlier that they had a system that annouced when a player logs in, example my char is named ''Xilas''
Then the server annouce
'' Player Xilas just logged in!''

Any ideas how to install that to your system?

[Vindicated]

Yep. There is a script for it (C++ or Lua). I can't remember were I saw it. I think on the old OpenAscent archives.

Alright, + rep to the one who finds me a script and help me get it working

I'll make one instead:

#using "StdAfx.h"

void LoginAnnounce(Player* plr)
{
      char announce[512];
      snprintf(announce, 512, "%s, Logged in.", plr->GetName());
      sWorld.SendWorldText(announce);
}

void SetupAnnounces(ScriptMgr * mgr)
{
      mgr->register_hook(SERVER_HOOK_EVENT_ON_ENTER_WORLD, &LoginAnnounce);
}

Thanks! + rep, LUA script?
How to install it?

This is a C++ script, you can't register server hooks like this in Lua,
You need to compile it into an DLL file, search around. Bounch of guides to do it

Didnt work, I putted the DLL file in Scripts_bin folder in ArcEmu folder.
When I start the server this comes up,
Program or DLL file C:/arcEmu/ArcEmu/Script_Bin/Playerloginannounce.dll is not a valdiate windows- memorybla bla. Control this aiganst the installationsdisk

something wrong with Compilation..

[Kallblodig]

Can you make a new one? (a)

[Ground Zero]

Did you just save the File as a .DLL lol?

[Kallblodig]

yes, how come?
I saved is as a DLL file then putted the file in to scripts_bin folder

[Sounddead]

Lololol. You need to learn how to compile a server, and then how to COMPILE (Keyword) a DLL.

Renaming doesn't work like that :P

Look trough the forum after compile guides, you can't compile a DLL by renaming the file extension. A DLL is encrypted code. (DYNAMIC LINK LIBRARY)
