city_zone

[Ememjr]

anyone know where the client is flagged that you are in a city zone
with my housing work when you go to a house and press access you can select a house you have and press access to enter that particular house, same thing if you go to your character screen and presses houses you can press access to enter a house, BUT you must be in a city zone, ie qeynos halas freeport etc, but i looked in the zones table and flagged qeynos as a city zone, but i could find no where in the coed where city_zone is being sent to the client i compared
zoneinfo packet for in a city and outside a city and could not find it there, also tried character sheet,
any sugestions on how the client gets that info

city zone in the DB is just to keep the zone running at all times.

In the zone info packet there is a flag section, it is a bitmask but no one has ever figured out all the flags for it. A wrong value in it can cause you to get the "can not take screenshots on the beta server" and it is likely this value that will flag it as a city zone, also likely to control no mounts, no illusions, and who knows what else.

But this is all a best guess as like I said no one has worked out the values for the flags and what they do yet.

that is the unknown3 value

Code: Select all

// unknown3 can prevent screen shots from being taken if
	packet->setDataByName("unknown3", 2094661567, 1);			// Screenshots allowed with this value
	//packet->setDataByName("unknown3", 3815767999, 1);			// Screenshots disabled with this value
	packet->setDataByName("unknown3", 1, 2);

	packet->setDataByName("unknown3", 872447025, 0);
	packet->setDataByName("unknown3", 3085434875, 1);
	packet->setDataByName("unknown3", 2147483633, 2);

but that did not change between being in a city zone and being in antonica

but i did notice there is a ChangeServerControlFlagMsg struct name WS_ServerControlFlags, that parameter5 getting set to hex 80 with a value of 00 while in Ant, and a value of 01 when in qeynos. so i am setting up a test in the code that will set it to 01 for me, and will go from there

if that ends up being it, then we should create a LUA Command to set city zone for the client since some zones the city limits is not entire zone Kelethen comes to mind back in the days on a pvp server running under the city you would get flagged as being in the city

well that wasnt it, Neeext
found a few more 0 in ant that were 1 in qeynos going to try

That unknown 3 is probably a bit mask so you would have to add values together to get the value to send in the packet, which means a lot of guess work. Currently we just pulled a value from a packet and hardcoded it.
