Nobility Impulse 5165

[~Crystaline]

I started working on Impulse 5165, first thing I did was to add Nobility, but the icon won't appear in the screen. The table was loaded, and I'm calling ( don't know, what term shall I use -.-) the nobility during log in. What I am missing?

 Spoiler

Does the Nobility on higher version work on 5165?

Edit: I was checking on my previous threads, and I have decided to update it to remind myself of what I accomplished 2 years ago. I have fixed the Nobility, it was just an offset that needed to be corrected.

No,don't try it might crash your source

Did u add Nobility.dat.svn-base

Nobility.dat.svn-base? Pardon me, what is that?

The nobility icon did not appear because you didn't send the packet you should have.

Basic knowledge

There are specific packets and specific data sets (structs) for each feature that the client can handle.
For nobility the packet id is 2064 and an example of struct for nobility is:

public class NobilityInformation
    {
        public string Name;
        public uint EntityUID;
        public uint Mesh;
        public ulong Donation;
        public byte Gender;
        public int Position;
        public NobilityRank Rank;
    }

Whereas NobilityRank is:

public enum NobilityRank : byte 
    { 
        Serf = 0, 
        Knight = 1, 
        Baron = 3,
        Earl = 5, 
        Duke = 7, 
        Prince = 9, 
        King = 12 
    }

NB: There are lots of sources nowadays that have nobility added including the leaked trinity source for version 5335. You can get it from there.

Pseudo-tutorial

 Spoiler

First you have to add the packet and the specific data set into the source.
Considering this step is finished, you have to make database entries(a table for the data set) to store information for each character.
Once that is done (including save/load) you go on and send the icon in the body of the 'LoginMessages' function that can be found in PacketHandler.cs.

NobilityInfo update = new NobilityInfo(true);
            update.Type = NobilityInfo.Icon;
            update.dwParam = client.NobilityInformation.EntityUID;
            update.UpdateString(client.NobilityInformation);
            client.Send(update);

Whereas client.NobilityInformation is a variable of the specific data set named 'NobilityInformation'.

The rest will be a lot harder, but that's all I am willing to write about.

As of 'Nobility.dat.svn-base', nevermind that. It wouldn't work for a source that didn't use a SVN software while it was developed.

Glad to hear them from the maker of the source, but I am using the one used in other leaked sources of yours, and it didn't seem to work.

The difference could be close to nothing in this case. Anyway, somethings are just not meant to be built with StringBuilder... (not really, but eh, w/e).

[I don't have a username]

The small difference are important when working on client/server stuff.

Its kinda weird why the Nobility Icon won't show up in the screen.

Character 1 [Donater]

 Spoiler

Character 2 [Observer]

 Spoiler

ICON

 Spoiler

Since, the icon is not visible I manually added Character1 on the nobility.

[-impulse-]

My quick response to you is: the observer can see the nobility because it's part of another packet.

Question: You said my code didn't quite work. Exactly what did you mean by that? How much effort did you actually put in?
Do this: create a file (if doesn't already exist) and put the packet in it (Solution explorer\Conquer_Online_Server\Network\GamePackets \).
Then, send the basic stuff (already showed you how to create the icon packet).

Let me know what doesn't work right.

Where line 3594 is:

before that line do this:

client.NobilityInformation = new NobilityInformation();
client.NobilityInformation.Name = client.Entity.Name;
client.NobilityInformation.EntityUID = client.Entity.UID;
client.NobilityInformation.Mesh = client.Entity.Mesh;

It will work afterwards. That is because you don't load any info for nobility yet.

[~Crystaline]

Still, the icon is not showing in the screen. And I checked if its client side but the texture for the icon is there.

Does my concern has something to do with the CharacterInfo too?

[-Sensei-]

#Bump

it has to do with spawnpacket?

[-impulse-]

No, it does not.

If you send the packet it should show the icon. :S
