NPC Stealth

[Dinberg]

It seems that NPC stealth packet does not produce the dark-grey transparent stealth form on npcs. I'm on either 1.95 or 1.98, but the mob doesn't appear shadowy.

Has anyone else used this flag before? I'm guessing somewhere it might not be correctly sent. Anyone know of a cure?

/summon Dunn !!

[Roozzz]

Not working and never seen it working.

And we need a packet guy indeed

[Graveen]

Dunnerholl is our packet guy ! YAY !

[Dunnerholl]

i think there was some flagchange. can u post the packet that should have the flag set?

[Kakuri]

This hasn't worked in DOL for a long time - I first tried almost a year ago and have never got it to work, so I don't believe it's related to recent clients.

[Dinberg]

Hmm it be sent incorrectly somewhere. What mobs do you know of that stealth?

[Tolakram]

Urchin ambusher (I think that's the name) in Alb SI.

[Kakuri]

Trall the Trickster in Laby looks stealthed.

[Dunnerholl]

will u post how u try it finally?

i think u need to send a 0x4c visual update with mob stealth flag or the 0xda with stealthflag. did u try any of those?

[Dinberg]

I havn't had time to return to it as of yet. I will update you if I can

PacketLib171.cs, starting at line 160:

Code: Select all

byte flags = (byte)(GameServer.ServerRules.GetLivingRealm(m_gameClient.Player, npc) << 6);
if ((npc.Flags & (uint)GameNPC.eFlags.TRANSPARENT) != 0) flags |= 0x01;
if (npc.Inventory != null) flags |= 0x02; //If mob has equipment, then only show it after the client gets the 0xBD packet
if ((npc.Flags & (uint)GameNPC.eFlags.PEACE) != 0) flags |= 0x10;
if ((npc.Flags & (uint)GameNPC.eFlags.FLYING) != 0) flags |= 0x20;


pak.WriteByte(flags);
pak.WriteByte(0x20); //TODO this is the default maxstick distance

string add = "";
byte flags2 = 0x00;
IControlledBrain brain = npc.Brain as IControlledBrain;
if (m_gameClient.Version >= GameClient.eClientVersion.Version187)
{
if (brain != null)
{
flags2 |= 0x80; // have Owner
}
}
if ((npc.Flags & (uint)GameNPC.eFlags.CANTTARGET) != 0)
if (m_gameClient.Account.PrivLevel > 1) add += "-DOR"; // indicates DOR flag for GMs
else flags2 |= 0x01;
if ((npc.Flags & (uint)GameNPC.eFlags.DONTSHOWNAME) != 0)
if (m_gameClient.Account.PrivLevel > 1) add += "-NON"; // indicates NON flag for GMs
else flags2 |= 0x02;
if ((npc.Flags & (uint)GameNPC.eFlags.TRANSPARENT) != 0) flags2 |= 0x04;
if( npc.ShowQuestIndicator( m_gameClient.Player ) ) flags2 |= 0x08;

I tried "flags |= 0x4c" and "flags |= 0xda" and it did nothing. "flags2 |= 0xda" removes the NPC's name and adds a quest indicator icon over its head.

"flags2 |= 0x4c" makes the NPC stealthed! Yay! But it also adds a quest indicator, and the name remains. (Interestingly, the quest indicator is stealthed, so it's a spinning blue icon.)

So how do I make it so the NPC is just stealthed, no quest indicator?

[Kakuri]

Well, 0x4c minus 0x08 (quest indicator) = 0x44, which works great!

Now it would be wicked to add player-like stealth for mobs so they could be completely invisible at a distance, and only become visible at very close range, also dropping stealth once they enter combat.

[Graveen]

yay !

Oh no kakuri, you've got me

Awesome work!

Have you updated the svn to use these changes? ^^
