New NC commands

[Skyld]

There are two new NC commands in the latest npcserver version: /scripthelp and /scriptscan. They help by providing information about script objects, functions and variables, and also allow scanning scripts for certain text.

The /scripthelp command returns information about object functions and expected parameters to RC, i.e. if you want to find out more about functions available to TServerNPC objects, you would type /scripthelp TServerNPC.

Secondly, you can also now scan scripts on the server for given text using /scriptscan. /scriptscan expects the location to search (either "weapons", "classes", "npcs", "levels" or "all") and the text to search for. For example, running /scriptscan all checkAdminRight on Rudora returns:

Scanning for 'checkAdminRight' in all:
Commands:
 9:     case "summon":
 10:     {
>11:       if (player.checkAdminRight("Summon"))
 12:       {
 13:         temp.player = findPlayer(temp.tok[1]);
 14: 
 15:         if (temp.player != NULL)

These should make it easier to find help on objects and to find things in scripts. If these functions do not work, you may need to restart your NPC-Server.

Very good, I really like this feature!!

PHP Code:

/scriptscan weapons/npcs/classes/levels/all text: scan scripts

Very nice .

I don't have a chance to test it right now, but does it also scan putnpc2s?

[godofwarares]

Quite a useful addition. About time I'd say.

It has been on N-Pulse Dev ever since the move. You didn't notice?

No, nobody is ever on NP Dev now-a-days.

any npc on the server is concidered "npc", so if you scan npc or all, it will scan any level/etc npcs

/scriptscan npcs text will scan all database npcs (putnpc2 + the ones you see in the npc list)
Scanning for npcs in levels can take much more time, that's why it's a different option ("levels")

btw: /scriptscan is also working on GS1, I am not sure if the new npcserver version has been uploaded to all machines yet though. If you get messages like "unknown command" when typing /scriptscan or /scripthelp then you also need to restart the gserver, although it is not required (might just being annoying, the command will work anyway).
