ok if anyone knows how to or has the code to make it when u enter a zone on your biller it says Welcome to the biller blah blah blah type ?man for help, can you tell me what file to put it in and where to write in my own thing to say .
I have Catid's SSB1.1j
If you want to write it in yourself i would like it to say

"Welcome to the SSBD Biller. Please type ?man for help. "

Please help. Explody wasn't that nice about it in the past grr. lol

rotfl (about the comment about explody)... the src is included w/ the biller... but i'd locate the code area where it tells a user whether they have messages or not

BDwinsAlt why you want a welcome message, if you cant even edit it?

He can edit it if he knows where the message is in the code, meh, that can't be hard to find out.

Too bad I don't feel like doing it.

Well, I've been looking, and I can't find it.

Can someone tell me what the code line is?

it's in the command file, right?

Can you stop posting in topics that died a year ago?

You just need to locate where the biller authenticates the player onto the biller - find the block that allows the OK player in and send the message.

Umm, don't you yell at people for creating new threads?

I continued in this one so that I didn't get yelled at.. Sorry.. I'll just start making new threads for everything that I ask

CypherJF · Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 1:22 am Post subject:

fine. in rpc.h you should be able to locate the line:

printf("%i - New player entering: %s\n", Packet->Source->ScoreID, player->Name);

Add..

user->SendArena("welcome!");

above it.... and it should send 'welcome' when they login.

Thanks

Contempt+ · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 5:55 am Post subject:

Umm, I tried that, and it didn't work. tried about and below it, as well as:

player->SendArena("welcome!");

What's the correct code, and where to put it, or what am I doing wrong?

CypherJF · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 1:49 pm Post subject:

No. The code I gave you ^-^ is correct - re-read it and try it again.

Contempt+ · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 2:00 pm Post subject:

I did. I tried it two ways

Code: Show/Hide

printf("%i - New player entering: %s\n", Packet->Source->ScoreID, player->Name);
user->SendArena("Welcome to the SSD Biller. Type ?man for a list of commands");

Code: Show/Hide

user->SendArena("Welcome to the SSD Biller. Type ?man for a list of commands");
printf("%i - New player entering: %s\n", Packet->Source->ScoreID, player->Name);

Dunno, it works fine for me - as I added it in while I was retrofiting the biller to use a MySQL database - and it worked then. :shrug:

Contempt+ · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 3:24 pm Post subject:

Hmm, ok, thanks Cypher for helping

CypherJF · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 3:35 pm Post subject:

Oh rather, sorry. That message will only appear when they are new to the biller - not when they're just logging in. That's why.

Find the IF-THEN statement where it checks to validate a normal - existing player. Then add it before/after it.

Code: Show/Hide

[Comms]
// Should new users be asked to consider?
AskNewUsers=0

In subbill.ini, make sure that's 0 so the SubSpace registration won't come up in ?man.

here's the sniplet from my biller...

Code: Show/Hide

LUserNode * user = new LUserNode(Packet->Source, player, NULL, GetLong(Packet->Message, 70));
Packet->Source->UserList.Append(user);

user->SendArena("welcome!");
user->CheckMsg(5000); // sends a message listing when they enter.

printf("%i - New player entering: %s\n", Packet->Source->ScoreID, player->Name);

Is that what your code looks like?

      user->SendArena("Welcome to the SSD Biller. Type ?man for a list of commands");
      user->CheckMsg(10000);

      printf("%i - New player entering: %s\n", Packet->Source->ScoreID, player->Name);
      user->SendArena("Welcome to the SSD Biller. Type ?man for a list of commands");

CypherJF · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 4:04 pm Post subject:

And it doesn't work?

Contempt+ · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 4:13 pm Post subject:

No..

Should:
user->CheckMsg(10000);

be

user.)CheckMsg(5000);?

Change 10000 to 5000?

EDIT:

I added this, so that I didn't have to make a new post.

I copied what you had cypher, and pasted it in my src, compiled it, and ran it, and it still didn't work.

If you are going to create a biller, make something unique, dont copy biller formats like the tsunade, versettian, and SSI Biller. Copying a format is stealing, ya know?

Confess, I don't give a crap what you say. I'm not going to listen to a thing that you say, I'm editing/making my own biller. I'm using catid's biller to edit, and that's not stealingl.
