Every server has it's own special way to read those values; try downloading the patch of the sv you play and search which values it uses, then when you modify your own .dat use those ;)

If the system doesn´t have it's own systemmsg-e.dat you'll have to experiment yourself with diferent values until they work

i just wanted to explain how it works maybe its complicated for some1 to understand,but cant do more ... if u like u can always use lineageutils to make the on-screen messages with less effort

cheers

how to make gracia final dmg show on screen? there is $s1 $s2 $s3 i tryed to use them all but no dmg on screen :/ maybe some special code for it ? :/

"a, *message* .\0 - is the format how the messages that are shown in the message window l2 are shown. the $s1 is the dmg variable got from the client. The next number is 3 - group type,but i dont rly know what its for ... The next 3 numbers/letter is the message RGB color code.U can edit this by hand or just using the Heisers message editor above.U can use this to get the rgb color core [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. The next letter "a" is for the sound add to each messages. The next one,dont know what is for :P .Ok now we have arived to the numbers that can enable and choose the position of the on-screen message. If u have there a bunch of zeros : 0 0 0 0 0 no message will be shown. The first number defines the position on the screen. Avaible are from 1-8 : The third and forth number indicate how long will the on-screen message be show till its fades away.U can freely experiment with it,but i dont rly recommend to set it higher then it is.

Those values ur talking about ($s1 $s2 $s3) are the ones that tells u the amount of dmg, not the position. And as i said before, every server uses diferents values to show diferents things, so u will have to experiment with them until it works.

If not u can do what emiron said, use lineageutils since it's less complicated ;)

greetings

i get that... i have the problem like I write "$s3 dmg." and only " dmg." apears on screen... tryed $s1 and 2 maybe it's becouse of gracia final dmg text... some ppl above had the same problem that i do :/

p.s and yes i'am using l2utils

I am trying to use lineage utils but every time i start the program i get this error:

Error decoding 'D:\Games\Outlaw\sunrise\system\npcname-e.dat':



Input file: "D:\Games\Outlaw\sunrise\system\npcname-e.dat"
Output file (given or generated): "C:\Documents and Settings\Extrem1st\Local Settings\Temp\tmp72E9.tmp"
I/O file error occured.



Possible reasons: wrong chronicle selected, wrong lineage directory set, file is corrupted.

If anybody have any idea of what might be wrong plss tell me..

first for the whole RGBA thing (red font) it's red, green, blue, alpha - alpha is transparency, but i don't think it is supported, so no matter what would be the fouth value it will be ignored. It is widely used in 3d modeling :P

As for the on screen message, i found this link usefull:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

So we can't have dmg on screen :P

I've already tested it and only variable implemented is name of attacker ($s2). Every other is ignored

Now i need some insight into those 5 values describing on screen message. First one is positon? but what is 5th and 2nd used for?

ty 4 the info man but i have a prob i can change the color but i cant set ti to desplay on screen what am i doing wrong???????:( ty in advance

someone can give a "already-done" file for rpg-club.com? thanks in advance

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

Please someone any ideas? :D
