Life is Feudal Official Forum

[Custodian]

This mod is obsolete.
Since patch 0.8.0.6+ LiF have official Barter Mechanics

Greetings, feudalists!

I would like to announce one of my mods I have developed for LiF:YO lately: TradeWindow Mod.

This mod allows you to trade between characters without droping stuff on the ground and waiting for the lock timeout.

Mod consists of 2 parts: client-side, and server-side.

Server-side part requires one-time configuration and GM interaction after every server restart.

This mod is part of BasilMods pack.

Screenshots of the trade.

How it looks


All action starts from the Players Trade Window.
You can open it with binded key.

If you are too far away from other players, you cannot trade.


When you are close, you can see available players.


Select player, and hit trade! This will send trade request to another player.


If player is already performing deal with another player, lagged, or something goes wrong, you see that player is busy.


If you already have active deal, you will see a notification instead of nearby players. You can to complete or cancel current deal.


When another player sends you a trade request, you got a notification:


If you deny the request, player will see the notification:


If everyone is free and ready to trade, window appears:


Within this window you are able to offer goods and chat:


When player finished proposing goods to you, he hit "Trade" button, he is ready to trade!


When both players agreed on offers, and ready to trade, deal is done!


We just performed our first deal: 4 cookies for 1 sickle!


You can offer as much goods as you want. But dont get overweight! You cannot complete deal, if you recive more stuff than you can carry.


Both players are ready, and another awesome deal performed!




If players changes his mind, and changes offer, he becames "not ready". Same happens if you change your offer.

Client-side instructions.

Please find the link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hbklfd8gwad6 ... uNwUa?dl=0

Follow config.cs or help.txt instructions to enable and configure client side part.

1. Place this 4 files(config.cs, TradeWindow.cs.dso, TradeWindow.gui.dso, TradeWindowPlayers.gui.dso) to folder "BasilMod/TradeWindow/" of LiF game root.
2. Add this line to the end of the "main.cs" script of the client:
   exec("BasilMod/tradewindow/tradewindow.cs");
   or execute that line from the console, once you start the game.
3. Edit variable "$BasilMod::tradewindow::bind" and setup key bind, if necessary. Default key for trade window is "y".
   Examples:
   a) If you would like to open window on "Alt+F2", type "alt f2".
   b) If you would like to open window on "9" (number nine), type "9".
4. Play Life is Feudal

Server-side instructions.

Spoiler

Please find the link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4lar6dtxrmxe ... t-WUa?dl=0

Place 2 files (config.cs, and tradewindow.cs.dso) at "BasilMod/tradewindow/" folder of your server root.

config.cs has few configuration options:
"$BasilMod::tradewindow::maxdistance" defines maximum allowed trade distance between players.
"$BasilMod::tradewindow::interval" players list update interval. Mod fetches actual players list: newly created characters, and maximum available weight for them.
"$BasilMod::tradewindow::container" sets container ID used for trade operations.

You must configure container ID.

First of all, to make mod working on your server, you need a solid and protected container (warehouse or large warehouse will work for that). It should not be accessible by players (builded under water, or on GM claim) for safety reasons.
Container should have atleast 1000 stones of empty space (this space can be used during operations).
I recommend to use Large Warehouse on GM claim.

You can get ID of that container from the database (`containers` table), and setup it at your config.cs.

After server (re)start, you (any GM) should open that container, so LiF server will be notified about container existance.
After that, tradewindow will work.

If you do not open container, tradewindow will be unable to transfer items between characters.

Known bugs

Spoiler

• You may fail to find player to tradewith, if more than 10 players is nearby
  Workaround: If you dont see player available for trade among other players, step aside, and you will be able to trade.
  Bug is located, mod will be updated.
• You are unable to trade more than 10-15 item stacks per trade.
  Workaround: Dont trade 10-15 stacks at ones.
  Bug is located, mod will be updated.

This is incredible ! You should definitely make a modding guide, I have never seen such deep modification.

I hope the devs make a spotlight of you soon !

This is fantastic! I will volunteer as it stands now. More than willing to help with finding those bugs.

Totally agree, spotlight!

[Custodian]

Thank you for the warm welcome words

Seems like you (testers and admins) do not mind about server and/or client side changes. I was not sure how people react to this.

Going to make a post about whole BasilMod Pack
6 "deep" modifications, 2 prototypes, and 2 concepts and some other stuff

As for TradeWindow, I'm still making some background bug checks for the trade deals, but you can test it from your client side right away.

You need atleast 2 people online to test deals
Please note, that this version does not apply weight checks on recieved goods, so if you trade too much, you will be unable to recieve them. This is last thing I'm testing right now before wide release.

Please find the link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hbklfd8gwad6 ... uNwUa?dl=0

Follow config.cs or help.txt instructions to enable and configure client side part.

You can join my test server:
address: thecust.net:28000
password: basil
gm password: basil

Please, be polite, and in gm mode do not destroy/remove large warehouse, crates and chests on the shore, as they are used for testing purposes.

Heya! This is awesome work there. Good job! Although we are in the middle of developing the barter window ourselves, it is still great to see such creativity and contribution to the community.

[Stormsblade]

Very cool sir.
A great contribution.

[NavyS34l]

Ill be loading this on my server tonight and will provide feedback. Is there any place you want bugs sent to or posted?

Thanks again for your awesome work!

This is only client side, and it can be used on my test server only. I'll package server side as soon as weight checks are completed, so you will be able to run it on your server.

You can post feedback here.

[Custodian]

Weight checks tests finished, dropbox files update. Volunteers welcomed on my test server to test it.
Writing server-side docs and installation manual.

Good work indeed Custodian.

Humbly, I suggest that if a lone modder is developing and releasing it before you, you are taking too long to develop an important feature.

To name a few:

Trade windows
Working trade system (aka AH)
Shared ownership
Aquatic livestock?!
GM Tools
Server management

[Custodian]

Updated head post with server-side part of mod and setup instructions.

[Custodian]

Patch 0.6.1.3 broke some GUI bits.
You will be unable to accept trade request from other players.

Client-side of TradeWindow has been updated. Redownload all client-side mod files, or just TradeWindow.cs.dso file to get it working again.

As of Aug 9, 2015, when I follow the client side instructions, I get the following error:

GuiControl:onAdd() unable to find specified profile and GuiDefaultProfile does not exist.

I had just downloaded all 4 files from dropbox as a zip file

[Custodian]

GuiControl:onAdd() unable to find specified profile and GuiDefaultProfile does not exist.

What do you do when this happens? running "exec" command? It should specify line/extra info near the message.
Screenshot of console will help a lot.

[Custodian]

Client side update.
Icons added for the items.

This happens with the exec command in the main.cs file. I put it right after the other exec command. After hitting 'ok' the error window closes. The LIF client does not start. If I comment the line out everything starts just fine.

Running the exec command in the console appears to work. A trade window does appear in the client after hitting the 'y' key.

Please share your main.cs file.

No need, I figured it out. Your instructions said to put it at the end of the file, so naturally I put it at the top.......

For those who suffer the same *issue* that I did, it goes here

Code: Select all

else
{
   exec("scripts/root.cs");
   exec("BasilMod/tradewindow/tradewindow.cs");
}


On a different note, the player search never seems to find the other player on the server (a second account of mine, on a different steam account).

I believe the latest server version fixes this.

Client-side part of mod updated.
Re-download tradewindow.cs.dso file.
Fixed bug, when player was unable to recieve traded item(s). Only new version with item icons was affected.

For those who suffer the same *issue* that I did, it goes here

That is also not the end of the file. At the end of the file it will look like this

Code: Select all

else
{
   exec("scripts/root.cs");
}

exec("BasilMod/tradewindow/tradewindow.cs");


I know, that in that particular case it does not matter, but instruction is instruction. Follow it to get things working as expected.

On a different note, the player search never seems to find the other player on the server (a second account of mine, on a different steam account).

If players window shows you "Searching for players..." all the time, this means, that server-side mod is not installed/enabled on the server where you play.

If players window shows you "No players found." message, then there are two possible causes:

• Your second character has been just created and logined in, "$BasilMod::tradewindow::interval" seconds have not yet passed, so script is unaware of new characted. Wait a bit, and character will be available for trade operations.
• Distance between your characters is longer than "$BasilMod::tradewindow::maxdistance" meters. Alter your config.cs or step closer to another character for trading.

This mod is obsolete after patch 0.8.0.6+
LiF have official Barter Mechanics
