downloadsize
 

How come downloadsize it returning zero everytime? simple test will prove it does

if(created||timeout){
setplayerprop #c, #D #v(downloadpos) / #v(downloadsize);
timeout = .05;
}

Notice the var downloadsize comes up 0

If there is no current download, the variable will become 0, are you running the script client-side? I may be wrong but I think it doesn't work server-side.

yea its clientside, and #D work as such

#D,#D(filename)

The player chat i got was this

filename.png 32000 / 0
this script returned this to RC :

NPC Code:

---

if(actionserverside)

sendtonc Downloading:#p(0) #p(1) / #p(2);

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created||timeout){

  timeout=.5;

  triggeraction 0,0,serverside,Sern,#D,#v(downloadpos),#v(download  size),;

}

Your script is pretty insecure, you don't really need to use sendtonc and even inside a timeout loop.
It is returning 0, because of this:

triggeraction 0,0,serverside,Sern,#D,#v(downloadpos),#v(download size),;

The name of the variable is downloadsize, and you used space.

no i didnt the fourm made it that way for some reason, which leads me to believe that the gserver is doing it too, and the sendtonc is for debuging

Maybe you should try:
sendtonc Downloading:#p(0) #p(1) / #v(downloadsize);

It may just be that the client doesn't know how large the file is because it has yet to download?

hmm no that didnt work but that shouldnt matter cause the newfeatures doc states

-new scripting variable 'downloadsize': when the
graal client is currently downloading a big file
(>32k) then this variable contains the size of the
file

Has anyone figured out this problem yet?

You put a space in there - the forum does not insert spaces there, and the supposition that the server does so is laughable. Use the proper variable if you wish the proper result. If you still have a problem, post your revised code and we will have a look at it.

I tried that with #v(downloadsize) instead of #v(download size) and got the same thing.

Bug perhaps?

LANCE! post the code your-self without a space and watch what happens , i know what im doing i wouldnt put a space there, if you dont know the awnser then dont comment, please try posting the code youself then you'll see so you can put that foot back in your mouth

and BTW! read the first post here i did without using the code tags, ... oh whats that ?? its not spaced? oh loookk at thatt

Geez, he is trying to help, don't be so rude.

NPC Code:

---

message #v(downloadsize);

---

Edit: works?

na i tired that too returns 0 still

I was reffering to the forums x_x

huh, it seems to work fine in v3, but not 2 :\

I'm not being rude - I'm pointing out when someone else is incorrectly blaming someone or something else for something they did themselves.

The first thing for one to do when they have a problem should not be to say "There's something wrong with the system." but instead, ask yourself "What could I possibly be doing wrong?"

I should have quoted, but I was talking to Sern.

Why is that....

NPC Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created || timeout) {

  if (strlen(#D)>0) {

    setplayerprop #c,#D;

    showtext 201,1,1,comic sans ms,,#D;

    changeimgvis 201,8;

    changeimgzoom 201,11/textheight(comic sans ms,,1);

    for (this.i=0;this.i<int(downloadpos/downloadsize*100);this.i++) {

      showtext 300+this.i,1+textwidth(comic sans ms,,11/textheight(verdana,1),|),13,comic sans ms,,|;

      changeimgvis 300+this.i,8;

      changeimgzoom 300+this.i,11/textheight(comic sans ms,,1);

    }

  } else {

    hideimg 201;

    hideimgs 300,400;

  }

  timeout = .05;

}

Edit: Had to fix something. Erm, it should work, haven't tested so.

Nice work malinko, I see why you are part of the debug team :P

NPC Code:

---

1+textwidth(comic sans ms,,11/textheight(verdana,1),|),13,comic sans ms,,|;

The same error in my original one, how bizarre. :)
And it's also strange that you would use font comic sans ms everywhere but there.

And if downloadsize is 0, as is the problem, it can't divide by 0.

Doesnt work for me.....

For half a moment, it should say what you're downloading right when you log on. I've never seen it show anything while you're playing.

I'm thinking the var is bugged, didn't work for me really when I tested it a day or so ago

excatly what i think

I think that is yours. Did you name it -Download on #gscript?

-pfa/downloads :]

But you are a debugger and missed that? Shame ;)

Everyone pakes mistakes pfa, I mean look what you did to UN, You can just about do anything on UN..

Yup, yup.
And it wasn't intended to be mean.

But I didn't make most, if any, of the buggy stuff on UN.

It seems that the modifications for the "downloadsize" variable were accidently removed in the last Graal v2 release, so the variable doesn't contain something right now except you are running v3. In the next version (will be released in a few weeks) it will be fixed.

When will the new scripting engine be out?;o

I don't...

woo Sern found a bug =D *does the cabbage patch* and you'll thought i was scripting wrong =p

Hey, you are actually right for once. Good job.

Lance you love me right? im a good kid =D
