Little quest *

[Spyke25]

Hey all, i would to enable the color code at the Death-messages like that :

( Cause mine is white )

So, what file i need to edit? And then i will post my code and i hope you can help me enable it

[Castillo]

You can't "enable" it or "disable" it, the script doesn't has that by default, you must edit it to use DX drawing functions instead of GUI (default).

[Spyke25]

Ok, but which file i need to edit?

[Castillo]

The file is:

race/rankingboard_client.lua 

[Spyke25]

Ok, it contains :

RankingBoard = {} 
RankingBoard.__index = RankingBoard 
  
RankingBoard.clientInstances = {} 
  
function RankingBoard:create() 
    local result = { id = #RankingBoard.clientInstances + 1, items = {} } 
    RankingBoard.clientInstances[result.id] = true 
    clientCall(g_Root, 'RankingBoard.create', result.id) 
    result.joinHandler = function() result:playerJoined(source) end 
    addEventHandler('onPlayerJoin', getRootElement(), result.joinHandler) 
    return setmetatable(result, self) 
end 
  
function RankingBoard:clientCall(player, fn, ...) 
    clientCall(player, 'RankingBoard.call', self.id, fn, ...) 
end 
  
local savedplrcount = 1 
  
function RankingBoard:setDirection(direction, plrcount) 
    savedplrcount = plrcount 
    if direction == 'up' or direction == 'down' then 
        self.direction = direction 
        self:clientCall(g_Root, 'setDirection', direction, plrcount ) 
    end 
end 
  
function RankingBoard:add(player, time) 
    local playerName = getPlayerName(player) 
    if table.find(self.items, 'name', playerName) then 
        return 
    end 
    table.insert(self.items, { name = playerName, time = time }) 
    self:clientCall(g_Root, 'add', playerName, time) 
end 
  
function RankingBoard:playerJoined(player) 
    clientCall(player, 'RankingBoard.create', self.id) 
    if self.direction then 
        self:clientCall(player, 'setDirection', self.direction, savedplrcount ) 
    end 
    self:clientCall(player, 'addMultiple', self.items) 
end 
  
function RankingBoard:clear() 
    self:clientCall(g_Root, 'clear') 
    self.items = {} 
end 
  
function RankingBoard:destroy() 
    self:clientCall(g_Root, 'destroy') 
    removeEventHandler('onPlayerJoin', getRootElement(), self.joinHandler) 
    RankingBoard.clientInstances[self.id] = nil 
end 

Can you edit it for me, please?

[Castillo]

That's the wrong file.

And no, I'm not going to edit it for you.

[Spyke25]

Oh, you all right, that's just rankingboard.lua.

But man, rankingboard_client.lua contains strange characters o,o

[Castillo]

Strange characters? do you mean the LUA script...? I suggest you to either start learning how to script in LUA or pay someone to script it for you.

[Spyke25]

With strange characters i mean : http://oi41.tinypic.com/4zsvaw.jpg

[Castillo]

That's a compiled LUA script, default race is not compiled.

[Spyke25]

Oh ye, you all right, the default is ok.

BTW, what i need to edit then?

[Cadu12]

You have to make new deathlist and delete default deathlist. Learn LUA, if you dont do, its hard to do

[Spyke25]

I asked here cause i dont know lua, but if nobody can make / explain me this script, no problem, i will ask away.

[Cadu12]

I have deathlist, im not going share on you.

[Castillo]

Cadu12, if you are not going to give it to him, then why the f*** do you post here? this section is to help people learning, not to say what do you have.

[CapY]

Didn't you noticed he always does that.
