Title:
Dragon Radar (Mini)

Introduction:
Just like the original SSCI Dragonball Z radar, but a miniture version that will only indicate when a player is near a flag. Plus this design is slightly more customizable than the original Dragon Radar plugin. Money is involved! $$$

End-Product Results:
- dradarmini.dll
- dradarmini.ini
- dradarmini.lvz

dradarmini.dll:
The design is up to you how you code it. Give yourself a challenge even and try to make this as optimal, efficient, sturdy and stable as possible. Try getting as low filesize you can, even.

dradar.ini:

Code: Show/Hide

[Plugin]
DefaultMode = 0; // The default mode that the plugin will use when loaded, where 0 is A and 1 is B

[ModeA]
RadarID = 1; // The Object ID of the radar image
PowerballEnable = 1; // Should the radar be active for one that is holding onto the powerball?
FlagEnable = 0; // Should the radar be active for one that is carrying flags?
UpdateTime = 3; // The time in seconds that locations of a flag should be updated, minimum is 1 second
BlipID = 6500; // The Object ID of the radar blip image
BlipRadiusX = 51; // The number of tiles of radius by the X axis a player must be within a flag's distance to enable radar blips
BlipRadiusY = 51; // The number of tiles of radius by the Y axis a player must be within a flag's distance to enable radar blips

[ModeB]
RadarID = 1; // The Object ID of the radar image
PowerballEnable = 1; // Should the radar be active for one that is holding onto the powerball?
FlagEnable = 0; // Should the radar be active for one that is carrying flags?
UpdateTime = 3; // The time in seconds that locations of a flag should be updated, minimum is 1 second
Angles = 8; // The number of angle fragments you will want to have graphics to be displayed for
AngleRange = 0-45,46-90,91-135,136-180,181-225,226-270,271-315,316-360; // A maximum range of 0 to 360, where each angle fragment is seperated by a comma
AngleObjects = 800,801,802,803,804,805,806,807; // Each ObjectID refers to the angle fragment in AngleRange by order, and will be triggered if a player is within those angles from a flag
BlipRadiusX = 51; // The number of tiles of radius by the X axis a player must be within a flag's distance to enable radar blips
BlipRadiusY = 51; // The number of tiles of radius by the Y axis a player must be within a flag's distance to enable radar blips

dradarmini.lvz:

Payment & Credits:
My starting bid range is from $5 to $10 (we can negotiate for $15 if you dare

) and I can make the payment through PayPal. I keep my words, I just want you to keep yours for what I am paying for.

As for credits, just add a simple line using the style that Catid used for his plugins through the !about command. I would like to have a copy of the plugin and its source code. You can release the plugin itself publically (if you do and not the source code, I think you could trust me that I wouldn't "leak" it out or anything).

You know, developers for subspace don't do it for the money, they do it for the love of the game.

Stop offering (ridiculous amounts of) money. If I want to be payed for it you would be paying my hour-rate which is about $85 per hour.

Then they can choose not to take the money. I thought everyone had the ability to decide.

How is it ridiculous? If I am able to pay, pay I would rather do than to ask for free. Atleast I don't feel as pitiful, ashamed and foolish to ask. I'm not forcing anyone to take the money if they don't want it.

<Unknown Mode: 7>? Doesn't work (says it's an unknown integer).

k I don't know how the mode "7" came to be, but it has always been ServerControlled. I even tested it and it works fine.

I don't really have interest of doing this plugin for you but I was wondering if you have the source of the original Dragonball Radar 2.0 ?
It would certainly help the programmer who is going to do this.

L.C. is using CLC?

Stop using it, just use BuildLevel.
CLC is dead, has bugs and doesn't support Cont 0.38 lvz specs.

L.C. - Tue Jul 03, 2007 8:45 am
Post subject:

Unfortunately I am unaware of any open-source or privately held copy of the source code to either the Wish or Dragon Radar plugins. I was using CLC because BuildLevel v0.38 doesn't support the original dradar.ini.

BuildLevel doesn't support +- ? Now I'm just starting to become lost. Thought I already mentioned this, and since it is yet recommended I use BuildLevel -- what are the comments on this then?

What do you mean BuildLevel doesn't support +-?

L.C. - Wed Jul 04, 2007 12:32 pm
Post subject:

Well I was using the one for v.38 in the first place, and it couldn't compile it because I was using + and - symbols.

How many LVZ tools are there? MakeLevel, BuildLeve, CLC? Or is MakeLevel and BuildLevel the same? If they're the same, the first sentence of this reply is valid.

Post subject:

If I remember correctly MakeLevel was discontinued as well.

BuildLevel is the only one that supports LVZ v2 (the one introduced in Cont 0.38)

BuildLevel was written by PriitK,
MakeLevel by MGB and
CLC by me.
They're not the same.

And I have no idea why BuildLevel should not support + and -.

I think MGB wrote buildlevel, though hopefully he'll correct one of us here.

I'm quite sure he wrote MakeLevel and DeBuildLevel.

Well I have BuildLevel and CLC (not MakeLevel), and BuildLevel gives a syntax error for +-'s. CLC can do that part just fine though. So far both of these have some casually annoying bugs that need fixing.

Is MakeLevel bugless? Where do I get it (I already made some searches, couldn't find it)?

You know if you just delete the +'s you could use buildlevel like the rest of us. - (minus) should still be accepted, it's necessary for negative offsets.

You already have it, because the only way to get it was the lvztoolkit file. Well, maybe not, because I never released a 0.38 LVZ version as buildlevel supported making ini->lvz without files, the only reason I even made one in the first place. Or did I? It has been a while.

Thanks.

Bug with either CLC/BuildLevel that I found yesterday is that you can't have "C" alone, so you either have to do it as "C+0" or "C-0." Thanks for the MakeLevel link Smong and k0zу!
