FinalFury's Mini-Guide to Startuplocations.cs

[DOLBot]

<This guide is written assuming you have all programs from Supgee's Offical DOL HOWTO, and you have already gotten your server running>


The Significance of this Script

Startuplocations.cs is used to define where a specific baseclass and race will start in. For each starting class, it has a specific race. So, if you wanted to, you could make the starting zone different for a troll viking and a norsemen viking.

Finding your Startuplocations.cs

GameServerScripts - Game Events - Startuplocations.cs

Quick Editing

Quick Replace is your friend. It is very easy to change the locations of where each base-class will start. First, find an Albion base class, and highlight the gloc in the parathesis. Then, go to Edit at the top lefthand corner of your Visual C# program, and click 'Find and Replace'. From here you go to Quick Replace. The location that you have highlighted has been already put into the 'Find what' part of the Quick Replacer. Now, you enter in the location that you want it to change to. Once you have finished that, click 'Replace All'. Repeat this for the other 2 realms.<Edit> You also want to do this:

Code: Select all

else
{
// can't change region on char creation, that is hardcoded in the client
ch.Xpos = loc.X;
ch.Ypos = loc.Y;
ch.Zpos = loc.Z;
ch.Direction = loc.Heading;
ch.Region = 237;
}

Change the ch.Region = to the region you want characters to spawn in. Thx Isus I forgot

Walaa, you have succesfully edited your Startuplocations.cs script. Don't forget to press f6 to compile it!

Sticky !

thx !!

Quick Replace is your friend.

erm what does that do? i see just one place for each gloc for 1.80+

Quick Replace takes whatever you highlighted, and puts it in a nifty little box. From there, you can change what you want it to do, and it will replace all the locs that match that description.

thats what i mean, those glocs are there just once

[DOLBot]

Not for me Long list to change

[Belthazor]

Thanks for the guide

any chance you could share your startuplocations.cs becouse in the one i have all of those places to find and replace isnt there or atleast not set up in the same way.

Thanks alot

No matter what I do I cannot change the start up location of my characters. I've been at this for hours, they will always go to Black Mountains South. I even tried to copy paste the startup code you posted into my own and I got errors when recompiling - which linked me back to the tutorialjumppointhandler.cs file.

Error 1 'DOL.GS.GameEvents.StartupLocations.StartLocation' is inaccessible due to its protection level C:\Users\***\DAOC\Source\GameServerScripts\gameevents\TutorialJumpPointHandler.cs 42 21 GameServerScripts
Error 2 'DOL.GS.GameEvents.StartupLocations.StartLocation' is inaccessible due to its protection level C:\Users\Elycian\DAOC\Source\GameServerScripts\gameevents\TutorialJumpPointHandler.cs 42 130 GameServerScripts

and a few more very similar errors related to the tutorial jump point handler file.

I'd really like to send my characters to a whole different zone, but right now I can't even change the simple location they spawn on creation, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT

I decided to delete the tutorialjumppointhandler.cs file altogether and see what happened and it looks like that solved all my problems. I still don't know how the slight changes in your startup file worked so much better than mine, but I'm studying it and learning. Thanks for posting this guide!

[$DUKE$]

Delete the tutorialjumppointhandler. It will fix it.

[DOLBot]

Yes, /del the tutorial jumpoint handler. You can still use the DOLServer port box without having it. You may have to do this after every compile, unless you delete it from your visual c# viewer.

nice guide! I edited "Supgee's Offical DOL HOWTO" to actually link to that post.
