Thread: How to start your server coding, (My First tut)

Hey, Logically, im here to teach you how to start with your source, ok, first if you want a source go here
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

It's a source i would reccomend, its Project Czar, and its a fun good source, if you want to start off and edit loads then just follow my first beginner tuts on how to change Proj Czar

Tut 1:
To make monsters drop items.
Go to your Item2.Java and you will see Ints like this

public static int rat[] = {5698,1305,3105,1725,1704,1323,1153,1115,1067,1081 ,1157,1119,1069,1083};

public static int randomrat()
{
return rat[(int)(Math.random()*rat.length)];
}

This is very simple. Inside the { } are the ID's of the items in order of being dropped first to last.

So if i wanted to make my goblin drop p'hats id do this

public static int Goblin[] = {1038,1040,1042,1044};

public static int randomGoblin()
{
return Goblin[(int)(Math.random()*Goblin.length)];
}

Now go to NPCHandler.java
This is where we put the ID of the monster
You should see something like this, if you dont, stop reading this

if(npcs[NPCID].npcType == NPCID) {
ItemHandler.addItem(Item2.randomGoblin(), npcs[NPCID].absX, npcs[NPCID].absY, 1, GetNpcKiller(NPCID), false);
}

That would be the second part to complete the Item2.java so the NPC actually drops the items.

So lets summarize this back up.

NPCHandler.java specifies the NPC's ID

The Item2.java Specifies the items being dropped by probability

Tut 2:
Making Safe Zones on czar, So you can delete the PK Emote on the tabs and change it to somewhere else.

First open up Client.java
Press Ctrl+F and search

public boolean nonWild() {

This is where we specify the areas that are nonwild.
How we do this is with X and Y Co-ordinates.

It works in a diagonal, but it joins up the square

What we do first is, get a piece of paper, draw a square or rectangle.
Go to the bottom left corner of the building first.Write down the X and Y Co-ordinates.

Then go to the top right corner of the building. Get the X and Y Co-Ordinates of that corner.

BotLeftX = Bottom left hand corner X Co-ordinate
BotLeftY = Bottom left hand corner Y Co-ordinate

TopRightX = Top Right hand corner X Co-ordinate
TopRightY = Top Right hand corner Y Co-ordinate

||(absX >=BotLeftX && absX <= TopRightX && absY >= BotLeftY && absY <=TopRightY ) ||

That's it for safe zones.

Tut 3: how to Get Item Bonuses
Open up Item.cfg in your Cfg or normal folder.
You should see this

item = 15156 Dark_Bow A_Dark_Bow. 4000000 4000000 4000000 0 0 0 120 91 0 0 0 0 0 86 0

Or so


To add a new item just copy a line and paste it at the end.
Change item = 15156 to the new item ID.

Etc, Abyssal whip

item = 4151 Abby whip A_Whip. 4000000 4000000 4000000 0 132 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 132 0

Tut 4: How to make Silab items ( Actually "Java" items ) go in the right slot, so they dont show through, or like hoods dont show through your head, so it fits 100%, ok first.

You should see

public static int capes[] = {

This makes it so if you put a cape inside of the { }
the cape will equip in the cape equipment spot.

This is the same for all of them.

There are a few things you should know as well.

If the Item is a platebody you will put it in public static int platebody[] = as well as public static int body[] =

This will terminate the glitch of your sleeves showing through the platebody.

Now To Fix Helms, (Hoods etc)

Its different
This is where it changes, if the item is a fullhelm you will put it into public static int fullhelm[] = as well as public int hats[] =
