could someone make me a module that would send a private "bong" upon entering the zone. I pretty sure a bot can do this, but a as3 module would probably be better. ty.

[Dr Brain]

Look at the messages module. That should be a good place to start for example code.

In python you could use the playeraction.

Code: Show/Hide from asss import * chat = get_interface(I_CHAT) def paction(p, action, arena):     if action == PA_ENTERARENA:         chat.SendSoundMessage(p, SOUND_GIRL, "Welcome to my sexy zone, %s." % (p.name) ) cb1 = reg_callback(CB_PLAYERACTION, paction)

Or something similar. The code is untested but should work. You could replace the SOUND_GIRL with a number if you wanted to.

If you only want a bong and no message just leave the message as "" with no text inside.

[tcsoccerman]

Don't you need a .dll along with it since it's py..how do you do that without compiling?

[Chambahs]

No, python doesnt compile. You simply write a python module, put it in your bin, and add it in your modules.conf or ?insmod <py> name. And thats it, no compiling nessecary, thats why I love python lol.

[BDwinsAlt]

Exactly. Thanks Chamby. All you do is create soundenter.py (or name the file something else) in your bin folder.

Somewhere after pymod:pymod in your module.conf add: <py> soundenter

DO NOT ADD TO ARENA.CONF

Only add that if you add mm_attach to the module so it only works in one arena.

You can add this to the code above if you want it to attach to an arena.

Code: Show/Hide def mm_attach(arena):     arena.cb1 = reg_callback(CB_PLAYERACTION, paction, arena) def mm_detach(arena):     arena.cb1 = None

Then remove the old one --> cb1 = reg_callback(CB_PLAYERACTION, paction)

Good luck

EDIT:
Tested the first code I made in a post before this one. It worked perfectly. I'll attach both of the modules. Just place them in your bin folder or copy and paste the code yourself.
(Assuming you haven't done so already)

Be sure pymod:pymod is enabled and working.

E <pymod> python error calling callback CB_PLAYERACTION

I got that error in "soundenter", not "soundenter2". I'll paste my edited version i have...

Code: Show/Hide from asss import * chat = get_interface(I_CHAT) def paction(p, action, arena):     if action == PA_ENTERARENA:         chat.SendSoundMessage(p, 33, "" % (p.name) ) cb1 = reg_callback(CB_PLAYERACTION, paction)

ty again in advance.. also what would i do in "soundenter2" to make it only in public, arena "0" i believe?. ty .

[Animate Dreams]

I was going to say you forgot an interface, but playeraction is in core.h, isn't it? Anyway, Python actually does compile. Try checking your /bin after using a python module, you should see another file with the same name, but a .pyc extension. It gets done automatically, though.

[BDwinsAlt]

Try adding a space inbetween the "" I guess.

To make it appear on the second one simply attach it to the arena.conf.

Where it says stuff like fg_wz \, add soundenter2

[Solo Ace]

Code: Show/Hide chat.SendSoundMessage(p, 33, "" % (p.name) )

Wtf?! There's no format for p.name to be put into.

Code: Show/Hide chat.SendSoundMessage(p, 33, "")

[Animate Dreams]

Lol, I just assumed the error had to do with the callback itself, not the function called by the callback, so I didn't even bother to check. >_<

[Smong]

When python throws an error it's a good idea to check the console since there is more info there that doesn't find its way into the logs (such as exact line number).

Solo: He just didn't understand that %s was later defined by p.name.

Use this to help you. http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html

I should have thought about there being no % (p.name). It's my fault. I didn't think ahead.

Sorry.

Good luck.

[tcsoccerman]

Ty solo ace . that fixed it. I can kinda see what the problem was, i only code C. ty bdwinsalt for making it too. ty to everyone else who tried.

[Hakaku]

I had tried this earlier myself, but I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. I later figured out that I had forgotten to change ?sound=0.

Comparing with BD's version, what's the difference between PA_ENTERARENA and PA_ENTERGAME ?

[tcsoccerman]

i guess game=zone and arena=arena. arena is just more specific? don't ask me

[Animate Dreams]

I believe entergame is kind of like enter ship. Basically, any time someone goes from spec > ship, or enters the zone in a ship(after he is connected and starts sending/receiving packets as normal), PA_ENTERGAME will be called.

[BDwinsAlt]

I've run into issue with ENTERGAME. I just use ENTERARENA now. I guess it doesn't really matter. What ever floats your boat.

[Smong]

The enter game action is called when the player has fully entered the arena, ie: downloaded all the lvz files.

[tcsoccerman]

I'm using entergame now, since i have a custom bong. i replaced it with 12, so when i used enterarena, it played that chick, and my brother's(little were in room) not good ....lol, i turned down volume fast enought though.

[Animate Dreams]

[BDwinsAlt]

LOL. I modified it a bit and decided to use ENTERGAME also. I have an eletric zapping sound though.
