A:
scripts\*.fosb
scripts\*.fosp
maps\*.fomapb
save\*.fo
save\clients\*.client
save\clients\*.client_deleted
save\clients\clients_list.txt
save\clients\last_id.txt

B: Have a look at parameters.fos, in the changedParam_Experience function.

Thanks For the great answers.

Question C: How to change the location of a town on the world map.

[Mr Feltzer]

C: look at maps/ GenerateWorld.cfg

@   305   464   293 # The Den/Broome
     
305 is the location ID
464 is x Location on world map
293 is y Location on world map
anything past the # is a comment and dosent matter

[JovankaB]

If you change coordinates in GenerateWorld.cfg you will have a new location on the new spot though.

If you want to move existing location you can use this:

Code: [Select]

void location_move (Critter& cr, int id, int x, int y)
{
    if (x >= 0 && y >= 0 && x < (__GlobalMapWidth * __GlobalMapZoneLength) && y < (__GlobalMapHeight * __GlobalMapZoneLength))
    {
        if (id > 0 && valid(GetLocation(id)))
        {
            Location@ loc = GetLocation(id);
            loc.WorldX = uint16(x);
            loc.WorldY = uint16(y);
            cr.Say(SAY_NETMSG, "Location " + id + " moved to [" + loc.WorldX + "," + loc.WorldY + "].");
        }
        else
        {
            cr.Say(SAY_NETMSG, "Invalid location Id.");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        cr.Say(SAY_NETMSG, "Invalid world map coordinates.");
    }
}

Question D: How do i get rid of the text that pops up as soon as i enter a town like the den and redding its in russian text in the message box?

[Berko]

The easier things is I thing to search message you got in scripts.
Not sure it's that but (..and I check on a old SDK revision):
in "main.fos" you have "map_critter_in" function, called each time someone enter a map.
In this function you have a call to "OnCitterMapIn" (It look Russian have the same level in English as French (me at least) ^^)
In "nopvp_maps.fos" you can see in the function that you have "cr.SayMsg( SAY_NETMSG, TEXTMSG_TEXT, 1 );" line.
In FOTEXT.msg the string number 1 is "Включен nopvp режим.". Google say us that it mean : "Nopvp enabled mode." (as in english text part the n°1 don't exist in my revision)

If it's that you can desactivate pvp mode or change city where nopvp is enable or add an English message.
For the first you have a global variable to change "__NoPvpMaps".
For the second you can change global variable in nopvp_maps.fos : the "noPvpMaps" array.
For the last option you have to add English message if not present and set English language.

It can also be a message that is trigger when NPC see you, you walk in a zone, etc .. but the description you do look like to be a nopvp message.

We search these strings in *.msg

Code: [Select]

# Сообщение на входе в Реддинг
{5430}{}{По приближению к городу Вы замечаете, что северная его часть огорожена длинной стеной.}

# Post at the entrance to Redding
{5430} {} {On the approach to the town you notice that the northern part of the long fenced wall.}
and

Code: [Select]

#
# Den entrance messages
#

{1050}{}{Вы испытываете странное чувство полной разрухи.}
{1051}{}{Где-то в глубине души вы очень рады, что покинули это место.}

#
# Den entrance messages
#

{1050} {} {You feel a strange sense of complete ruin.}
{1051} {} {Somewhere in my heart you are very glad to leave this place.}
So we got the 5430 message and 1050 message from FOTEXT.msg

We can search directly "5430" or "1050" on scripts.

We found :
in map_redding_outer.fos

Code: [Select]

#define STR_REDDING_IN    ( 5430 )

void _MapInit( Map& reddOut, bool firstTime )
{
    reddOut.SetEvent( MAP_EVENT_IN_CRITTER, "_ReddingCritterIn" );
}

void _ReddingCritterIn( Map& denBus, Critter& player )
{
    if( player.IsPlayer() )
        player.SayMsg( SAY_NETMSG, TEXTMSG_TEXT,  STR_REDDING_IN );
}

It's a map event.

and in map_den_bus.fos

Code: [Select]

#define STR_DENBUS_IN     ( 1050 ) // "Âû èñïûòûâàåòå ñòðàííîå ÷óâñòâî ïîëíîé ðàçðóõè."
#define STR_DENBUS_OUT    ( 1051 ) // "Ãäå-òî â ãëóáèíå äóøè âû î÷åíü ðàäû, ÷òî ïîêèíóëè ýòî ìåñòî."

void _DenBusInit( Map& denBus, bool firstTime )
{
    denBus.SetEvent( MAP_EVENT_IN_CRITTER, "_DenBusInCritter" );
    denBus.SetEvent( MAP_EVENT_OUT_CRITTER, "_DenBusOutCritter" );
}

void _DenBusInCritter( Map& denBus, Critter& player )
{
    if( player.IsPlayer() )
        player.SayMsg( SAY_NETMSG, TEXTMSG_TEXT,  STR_DENBUS_IN );
}

void _DenBusOutCritter( Map& denBus, Critter& player )
{
    if( player.IsPlayer() )
        player.SayMsg( SAY_NETMSG, TEXTMSG_TEXT,  STR_DENBUS_OUT );
}

A map event too.

You can comment event, or comment the "SayMsg" part or change map if you don't need script associated.

Thanks for that 

Question E: How do I edit an encounter for example I change Unity vs Enclave to Raiders vs Marauders?

[Bevolard]

Ill add my question as well

When I go to talk or attack an npc if I am close enough to it I will always walk making melee impossible in real time how can I make it so I am running instead of walking when I am close to my target.

[Berko]

E: Check in worldmap_init.fos. You can add your own group and set them in worldmap and remove some other group. (it's related to worldmap.fos)

-----

in config.fos you have that

Code: [Select]

    __AlwaysRunMoveDist     = 1;
    __AlwaysRunUseDist      = 1;Set value you want (here player walk when distance is less or equal to 1 hex).

[Bevolard]

Berko your a Legend thanks.

[Demenise]
