[Discusson] The 8.2 taming system .

Page 1 of 4

Hi epvpers
Here in this topic I would like to discuss the new taming system in 8.2 and if there is a way we can simulate it using the current 8.1 files .

At first we should insert new entries to the SummonResource for each monster model , and that's what gala did as I noticed the size of (db_creature.rdb) has changed from 0.15 MB to 2.18 MB . I think there is no problem in this part . Yes , this rdb's structure has changed but it isn't that hard to get the values for an 8.1 server by just ignoring new columns if there are any .

Next is creature cards part , which is a really problematic part .
The first idea to think of is creating custom cards for every creature model in the game . Looking at the number of monsters' models in game , the previous idea seems hard / needs much time .
So what I suggest is the idea that was done by gala . That idea is creating one custom card to get all those monsters in . The problem is , while every model has a different id , the card must change it's summon id depending on the monster you are taming . I thought about a simple lua code for that which I got it's idea from this command (prints the summon id of your creature in the chat) :

Code:

cprint(get_creature_value( handle, "job"))

And this is what I came out with , but unfortunately this didn't work :

Code:

set_creature_value( handle, "job", value)

Searching a bit , I found a thread written by (mongreldogg) offering the ability to use sql queries from lua through his program . Although the program was unsecure \ causes lag as c1ph3r said , but I tried it anyway and unfortunately it also didn't work using this query :

Code:

UPDATE Telecaster.dbo.Summon
SET code = xxx

After getting through this , the random skills part is way easier in my opinion .
But now we are stuck at the (change summon id) part if we are to make it the (GALA) way . Or we can think of a unique way to get this 8.2 taming system working .

Now that there are stack-able empties a new tamed card is inserted when it tames.

This is a change from the old system and may have something to do with inserting a card with a summon ID already attached.

Well , I don't think so . I searched the 8.2 items rdb but it has no creature card that has a new summon id . This makes us certain they have a command that changes the creatures summon id .

Ill have t look into it some more later when I am in front of my Database but maybe they were working with an SMP to set the summon ID

We also need to look at the monster resource, we know how they set tamable, but we need to look into how they set tamable to the specific card item IDs

That may have something to do with an SMP for setting summon ID as well.

What does the acronym SMP stand for?

From what I could fetch, they don't directly set an id from db_monster to db_creature. Maybe a server-side script uses a big switch/case on the db_monster number (the field after the taming_id).

I dont know what here is the theme but maybe it helps this what i understand let think me

here is my spupid comment

in 8.2 it give 4 new Tables in rdb they call

1 db_monsteraffiliationdetailresource.rdb with rdb i think in EnhangeFX or SkilltreeResource the best results

2 db_monsteraffiliationresource.rdb Its look like 3 Columns in EnhangeFX open rdb

3 db_monsterspeciesresource.rdb I think 4 Columns under the EnhangeFX open it looks like 4 Columns an in the other to but EnhangeFX likes Best results

4 db_summonrandomskill.rdb In EnhangeFX open RDB i THink its the best results no errors by open it under Enhangefx rdb but not completly

I hope it is little helpfull and i have the topic a little understand

New rdb files structures (structorian), with the content and the string ids output as strings. db_creature.rdb use all those files.

db_monsteraffiliationresource.rdb

Code:

// computed by sadkingbilly 
[byteorder=littleendian]
struct FILE 
{
  str date [len=8];
  [hidden] str [len=(0x80-8)];
  u32 count;
  child ENTRY [count=count];
}

// Other/Beast/Ain/Spirit/Angel/Devil/Mecca/Dragon/Undead/Mortal
struct ENTRY
{
  u32 index;
  u32 value1;
  u32 name_id;
}

Code:

1	0	6509	Other	
2	1	6510	Beast	
3	2	6511	Ain	
4	3	6512	Spirit	
5	4	6513	Angel	
6	5	6514	Devil	
7	6	6515	Mecca	
8	7	6516	Dragon	
9	8	6517	Undead	
10	9	6518	Mortal

db_monsteraffiliationdetailresource.rdb

Code:

// computed by sadkingbilly 
[byteorder=littleendian]
struct FILE 
{
  str date [len=8];
  [hidden] str [len=(0x80-8)];
  u32 count;
  child ENTRY [count=count];
}

// More precise than db_monsteraffiliationresource_rdb.strs: ain-bird, ain-fish, ain-mammal, etc..
struct ENTRY
{
  u32 id;
  u32 value1;
  u32 name_id;
  str icon_tamable[len=0x100];
  str icon_untamable[len=0x100];

@sadkingbilly: Nice work . This may help us figure how the new system works in 8.2 . But unfortunately I don't think we can use those in 8.1 as the GS & Client can't read new tables & rdb .
We are trying to create something near to this system . (You can find info here > [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] )

I think we can use another method but it has another problem . We can create one pet with any model and on it's summon it has a buff that changes it's shape like the transformation potions and for that we should create one buff for every model in StateResource .
This may solve the change in summon id (it actually doesn't change the summon id but the shape only) . But now we need to find something that gives the creature it's buff as soon as it's summoned .

Well, the reason why it didn't work is because the GS doesn't update that information automatically.
If you change the value in the DB while running the GS, it has to get the content from the table, but because it has all the necessary information saved in memory, it doesn't do this.

And I assume that's exactly why the dbo.Summon.code column went back to it's previous value right after I logged out ?
Does it resend the information in memory to the table dbo.Summon too ? I thought it only sends info to dbo.Character to update things like gold , chaos , job ..... etc .

Well, the GS works kinda like this:
>User logging in
>Reading Items, Characterinfo, Summoninfo, etc, saves them in array
>Update Summoninfo/Characterinfo/etc, updating them to DB again.
>User logging out
>Update Items, Characterinfo, Summoninfo, etc. to the values it has in the GS, doesn't matter if they're the same, still getting updated.

Which means it's impossible to change the summon's job (id) while the GS is running as it will always resend the information it stored on it's start to sql , right ?

Hmmm , I think I should find another way .

Well, except you're able to inject a function into the GS which update it's values when X happens (as example: I'll type //update into the chat, the function replaces the current stored values with the ones from the db), which might be a bit difficult to do, so:
Yes, you should find another way. ;p

At first we should insert new entries to the SummonResource for each monster model , and that's what gala did as I noticed the size of (db_creature.rdb) has changed from 0.15 MB to 2.18 MB . I think there is no problem in this part . Yes , this rdb's structure has changed but it isn't that hard to get the values for an 8.1 server by just ignoring new columns if there are any .

Next is creature cards part , which is a really problematic part .
The first idea to think of is creating custom cards for every creature model in the game . Looking at the number of monsters' models in game , the previous idea seems hard / needs much time .
So what I suggest is the idea that was done by gala . That idea is creating one custom card to get all those monsters in . The problem is , while every model has a different id , the card must change it's summon id depending on the monster you are taming . I thought about a simple lua code for that which I got it's idea from this command (prints the summon id of your creature in the chat) :
Code:
cprint(get_creature_value( handle, "job"))
And this is what I came out with , but unfortunately this didn't work :
Code:
set_creature_value( handle, "job", value)
Searching a bit , I found a thread written by (mongreldogg) offering the ability to use sql queries from lua through his program . Although the program was unsecure \ causes lag as c1ph3r said , but I tried it anyway and unfortunately it also didn't work using this query :

Code:

UPDATE Telecaster.dbo.Summon SET code = xxx

After getting through this , the random skills part is way easier in my opinion .
But now we are stuck at the (change summon id) part if we are to make it the (GALA) way . Or we can think of a unique way to get this 8.2 taming system working .

Since 8.1 this won't work with the GS anymore. They removed the os.X functions from the lua parts.

well to be honest the change has to be in the Telecaster side as you can cahnge the ID of the summons there so maybe a person can make a LUA for the 8.1 that will have a randome math of ....-.... and what not ? maybe idk maybe with the 8.1 we cna also use this method to tame mobs to idk if this will work but its a idea i did have anyone realy good a setting functions and doing LUA work lets give it a try maybe ?

you would have to use a math like the Creature farm LUA so maybe it can be done just not sure how to write this im ok with LUA not great i dk all the comands to use for this so maybe some help here all :)

kinda like if mob id= ..... or .... or yadaydayda ok make a list of all the mobs for each type and if ya have the card too then do a randome math on the summons id on the card id ? maybe idk if this will work but maybe one of ya smart people can do and share with all who are giveing ideas would be nice this is the only curent way i see doing this realy
