Thread: Loading Npc Defense Bonuses Through CFG!

Purpose: This is a method that loads NPC defense bonuses through a configuration file. Note: I do not yet have this actually working in combat yet but I will soon and I will release it. This is to make certain NPC's harder to kill than others. E.G. A level 10 can hit the same on jad as he can on a regular man, This will will stop that.

Difficulty: 2/10

Base: Secret =D

Knowledge: C & P and bits of Java

Classes Modified: NPC.java

Step 1:
In bin > data > npcs > create a new file and name it "NPCDef.cfg".

Step 2:
Go into NPC.java and paste this method:

Code:

    public int unpackBonuses(int npcId) throws Exception {
        int bonuse = 0;
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("./data/npcs/npcdef.cfg"));
        String[] NPCDef;
        String input;
        while ((input = in.readLine()) != null) {
            NPCDef = null;
            if (!input.startsWith("/") && input.contains("=")) {
                NPCDef = input.split("=");
                if (NPCDef[0].startsWith("" + npcId)) {
                    bonuse = Integer.parseInt(NPCDef[1]);
                }
            }
        }
        return bonuse;
    }

Step 3:
Paste this in you NPCDef.cfg:

Code:

//npcType=DefBonuse

Step 4:
For example you want a man to have 15 def bonuse, You would put:

Code:

2=15

In you're CFG file.

How this method works is, It will identify the NPC's Id and return the bonuse as an Int.
