Well, there's different ways to make MUD's, but Inverness have taught me alot of what I can of MUDs :o
Well, for Ini files..
Make a wnpc or somewhere to store this script (To make custom objects):
PHP Code:
function onCreated()
{
this.scriptlogmissingfunctions = false;
this.types = NULL;
// Files
maketype("IniFile", 0, {"file_ini"});
}
public function maketype(typename, super, classes)
{
temp.i = 0;
if (makevar("T" @ typename) != null) {
makevar("T" @ typename).destroy();
}
this.(@ "type_" @ typename) = new TStaticVar("T" @ typename);
if (super.type() == 2) {
this.(@ "type_" @ typename).joinedclasses = super.joinedclasses;
}
for (i: classes) {
this.(@ "type_" @ typename).join(i);
}
if (this.types.index("T" @ typename) < 0) {
this.types.add("T" @ typename);
}
}
And I usually put this in a class name that I used when creating the TIniFile custom object above:
("file_ini" as used above)
PHP Code:
// Loads an INI File into the object.
public function load(filename) {
// Declaring the temp variables
temp.file = 0;
temp.i = 0;
temp.key = 0;
temp.e = 0;
temp.var = 0;
temp.val = 0;
// Load all the lines from the file.
file.loadlines(filename);
// Stop the loading if the file has no lines.
if (file.size() < 1) {
return;
}
for (i = 0; i < file.size(); i ++) {
// If the line starts with a semi-colon, skip it. (For comments)
if (file[i].starts(";"))
continue;
// Checking if the line is an INI section header (key)
if (!file[i].starts("[") && !file[i].ends("]")) {
// Check to see if a section has been found, can't load variables without one.
if (key == null)
continue;
// Get the position of the equal sign on the line.
e = file[i].pos("=");
// Skip the line if it doesn't exist
if (e < 0)
continue;
// If the line starts with an equal sign, append to last variable loaded.
// This is good for long multi-line amounts of text.
if (e == 0 && var != null) {
val = file[i].substring(1, -1);
this.(@ key).(@ var) @= val;
}
// If the equal sign isn't at the beginning, set a variable in the right section
// <varname>=<value>
else {
var = file[i].substring(0, e);
val = file[i].substring(e+1, -1);
this.(@ key).(@ var) = val;
}
}
else {
// Set the INI section.
key = file[i].substring(1, file[i].length() - 2);
}
}
}
// Saves this object as an INI file
public function save(filename) {
// Declaring temp variables, and getting dynamic variables in the object
temp.output = 0;
temp.i = 0;
temp.e = 0;
temp.keys = this.getdynamicvarnames();
temp.vars = 0;
for (i = 0; i < keys.size(); i ++) {
// If the dynamic variable is actually a value, skip it
if (this.(@ keys[i]).type() != -1)
continue;
// Write the section header
output.add("[" @ keys[i] @ "]");
// Get the dynamic variables for the section
vars = this.(@ keys[i]).getdynamicvarnames();
for (e = 0; e < vars.size(); e ++) {
// Add a line for the variable if its not zero.
if (this.(@ keys[i]).(@ vars[e]) != null) {
output.add(vars[e] @ "=" @ this.(@ keys[i]).(@ vars[e]));
}
}
}
// write the lines
output.savelines(filename, 0);
}
// Clears all values for a certain INI section.
public function clearkey(keyname) {
temp.i = 0;
temp.vars = 0;
// Stop the function if its an actual object.
if (this.(@ keyname).type() != -1)
return;
vars = this.(@ keyname).getdynamicvarnames();
for (i = 0; i < vars.size(); i ++) {
this.(@ keyname).(@ vars[i]) = null;
}
}
// Copies variables from an INI section to an object (like object.loadvars())
public function copyvars(keyname, object) {
// Stop the function if 'object' isn't an actual object.
if (object.type() != 2)
return;
// Stop the function if this.keyname is an object.
if (this.(@ keyname).type() != -1)
return;
for (temp.i: this.(@ keyname).getdynamicvarnames()) {
object.(@ i) = this.(@ keyname).(@ i);
}
}
Then you can load an ini file by doing:
PHP Code:
function onCreated() {
temp.foo = new TIniFile();
temp.foo.load("mud/test.ini");
echo(temp.foo.section1.var1); // readed -> object.section.var
// output = value1
}
And "mud/test.ini"
NPC Code:
[section1]
var1=value1
var2=value2
All credits to Inverness though
And I would suggest you to check out his two mudlibs that he released, it's worth learning from
