When you attempt to put on an item you do not qualify to put on, I need an exact list of messaging the SOE Live game tells the player.

For instance, when I am a Paladin and try to put on a Wizard-only robe, what does it tell me?

If I try to drag a helm into a wrist slot, what does it say?

If I am not the right level yet?

If I do not possess the skill to wear the item?

Any other things you can think of. I am trying to work out a request to get "Unable to equip item" out of our server, and be a little more helpful on the info of why an item cannot be equipped.

TIA,

So no one knows, huh?

Ok, I'll get the info myself.

Thanks

I'll help you get these and then I can implement these things today after work (soon!)

Thanks, Scat. I'll try and hop on tonight and get a few items/books and see what messages I get.

I was going to write the functions myself, but I'd rather you do it since you know what you're doing

Let's hope so

Here's my list.

Trying to scribe a book from which I have no skill, or not appropriate level to learn skill (white text):

You lack the knowledge required to scribe this item.

Trying to equip an item which is not for my class (red text):

Your class may not equip \aITEM -1144022714 1704393705:Rattling Boots\/a.

Trying to equip a higher level item than I am (red text):

You must be at least level 29 to equip \aITEM 1939786170 1646368341:a D'Morte insignia band\/a.

Trying to equip an item (a skill book) which is not equipable (white text):

Item Riana's Relentless Tune (Adept) isn't equipable.

The above is probably all we need to start. Others we can add as systems are implemented. Like:


Trying to "use" a store container outside a store slot (red text):

Store not currently open.

I also could not find a way to purposefully try to stick a Head item on my Arm slot. Whenever you drag the item over the inventory screen and let go, it goes where it's supposed to equip. If anyone knows a different way to do this, let me know... but I think this has no error message in Live.

Thanks Scat!

Closest I can get to an error , putting an item on/in the wrong slot is .


Tried dragging helm (from head) to arm/cloak and chest..

Oh, excellent catch, Woody. I was dragging from inventory. Didn't even think to try head->arm, since in Emu (so far) you cannot do all these fancy swappings yet. Old habit

LE, I was looking over how you handle equipping/unequipping/swapping items today so I can get this implemented for John and had a quick question. In Player::CanEquipItem you have Is supposed to use the = operator? Because that's setting skill_req1 to int max which would mess up the next check wouldn't it?

That's actually the function I was going to break into 3 functions, instead of that huge If heh. HasSkill, CheckClass, CheckLevel.

As I read that comparison tho, I see it say "if generic OR you have the skill"... continue checking. Then of course it does the same "if generic2 OR you have the skill". I was told skill_id_req1 = 4294967295 = generic, same effect as 0.

No one should actually have 4294967295 as a skill, but I think the check is IF it is generic, or a valid skill_id.


Is that what you're asking? If not, I'll shut up and wait for LE.

Well notice there are two overall checks, one for req1 and one for req2. See how with skill_req1, the '=' operator is used which sets a value and does not check it. In req2, the '==' operator is used which checks it.

Oh haha. Wow, yes. Pretty sure it's a compare, not a set

Who wrote that code anyway?!

Hehe I thought so but I wanted to double check. There are times when doing something like that could be useful but 97.4262623% of the time (at least in my case) it's always a typo

if(item && ((item->generic_info.skill_req1 = 0xFFFFFFFF || skill_list.HasSkill(item->generic_info.skill_req1)) && (item->generic_info.skill_req2 == 0xFFFFFFFF || skill_list.HasSkill(item->generic_info.skill_req2)))

Is

Heh, nope good catch. That was definitely a typo
