New Server Options Features
 

***global msg Tigairius@Kingdoms iPhone: Hello! Quite a few new serveroption flags have been added recently. In order to promote familiarizing yourself with them (especially classic servers), you may want to refer here: http://www.graal.net/index.php?title...Player_Syncing

Some good ones if you didn't already know! :)

So the sync one does what? Let you change the distance cutoff of player data being sent to other players? 192 = 3 levels so I assume so... I imagine increasing this too high will create a lot more bandwidth?

I believe this (sync vars) is only useful for iPhone Servers, so iPhone clients don't waste CPU processing off-screen players.

I imagine so... it would be useful for my multilayered house except it'd have to apply to the whole server, instead of specifically :(

It is applied to the whole server.

Yes.

The sync distance is indeed useful on iPhone because the client is not aware of any players outside of the sync distance, therefore there is less network processing to do. Beforehand it was using a huge amount of CPU time on iPhone just to process all the packets coming in. Typically on iPhone we are using a sync distance near to that of the visible on-screen area so that you only get updates for players that you can see.

The sync distance always applies on GMAPs, and as the list shows, it is optional for inside levels. I think you need to restart the gserver for this option to take correct effect without causing issues.

Gah still no feature so when changing pot tile it doesn't drop the default health? >:[

That's hardcoded I believe.

The syncing stuff seems very nice. I'll have to try that :redface:

The server options only specify the defaut value for players. A client can change the distance by calling following function:
The only way to do that right now is to add itemdropevents=true in the server options, then the Control-NPC gets an event onItemDrop(level,x,y,itemname) each time an item is dropped. This is however disabling all classic items.

Finally a way! Oh I could kiss you right now! :D

I'm still confused how to disable all classic items. My NPC server gets the event when an item is dropped, the actual item doesn't show but I still hear a drop sound and the gralat noise sometimes. I've tried the old fashion take/take2/removeitem etc, nothing works. How can I get it so it doesn't make those sounds...

Basically how do I access the object in param[ 3] so I can completely destroy it.

EDIT: I'm working with the default pot;
