Hello people, long time no release, haha =D Anyways, I was thinking. Isnt it annoying to go on a website everytime you are going to create a new account? Oh well, I actually think it is. So therefore, I will release how to create an funcion in your server, that allows the user to create an new account with putting "NEW" infront of the real username.
Example : You want to create an account with the username "Peter".
Then you do:
Okay, hope you know what I mean. As some of you know, I encourage people to go INI for accounts/characters instead of MySQL, so this is for INI files, just so you know, but its easy to convert to MySQL. :D
So first, we go to the place in your source (Probably LOTF) where it all happens, Authenticate.
To get there, search for :
Now, find a good spot to put this funcion in. Found it? Okay, good!
First we have to make a check to see if the username starts with "NEW".
Okay, now this is REALLY fimiluar with the english spelling. We do this :
Now, we'll have to make a check if the accountname already exist. As I said earlier, I use INI, so you'll have to convert this to MySQL ( Not that hard really.. )
Okay, so that checks if an file with the current username exist. Hopefully it doesnt.
Now its time for all the easy job, write a line to an INI. Not many people know how to do this, so I will guide you through.
First we have to create a new INI, with the name of the username. We do that like this:
The "" or "2" after the , is the default value for each line.
So,I hope I have taught you something new today. Have a good weekend and goodluck!

Quote:
public static byte Authenticate(string UserName, string Password)
Now, find a good spot to put this funcion in. Found it? Okay, good!
First we have to make a check to see if the username starts with "NEW".
Okay, now this is REALLY fimiluar with the english spelling. We do this :
Now, we have to make it remove the actual "NEW". We can do that by this:Quote:
if (UserName.StartsWith("NEW"))
{
The reason why we put 0, 3 , is because 0 is for the start of the name, and 3 is for the amount of letters we are going to remove. NEW is 3 letters, therefore we put a 3.Quote:
string RealUserName = UserName.Remove(0, 3);
Now, we'll have to make a check if the accountname already exist. As I said earlier, I use INI, so you'll have to convert this to MySQL ( Not that hard really.. )
Quote:
if (!File.Exists(StartupPath + "Accounts\\" + RealUserName + ".acc"))
{
Okay, so that checks if an file with the current username exist. Hopefully it doesnt.
Now its time for all the easy job, write a line to an INI. Not many people know how to do this, so I will guide you through.
First we have to create a new INI, with the name of the username. We do that like this:
Now, lets write the password, status, logtype and character lines.Quote:
IniFile I = new IniFile(StartupPath + "Accounts\\" + RealUserName + ".acc");
Quote:
I.IniWriteValue("UserName", "Password", "");
I.IniWriteValue("UserName", "Status", "");
I.IniWriteValue("UserName", "LogType", "2");
I.IniWriteValue("UserName", "Character", "");
}
}
The "" or "2" after the , is the default value for each line.
So,I hope I have taught you something new today. Have a good weekend and goodluck!
