New Logs.

[Damien]

Hello, Ive thought for a long time how to do new logs.
But i have no idea how to do

If someone could gimme a hint i would appreciate it very much

Damien,

You create entries in your itemdesc.cfg files for the logs. You need to assign a unique Item number (hex number not used by anything else) and drop in an entry calling the graphic number for a log, but with a different name (like cherrywood) and perhaps a different color.

Hello Exar thx for replying


Yeah i know that part..
But does that automaticcly let me lumberjack those logs?
Or do i have to change anything else?


Sry i have to ask...
Or else i cant learn.

There is indeed more you have to do.

You need to find your resource system. Somewhere, there will be a list of the resources that are spawned/harvested. Your new log entries must go in the same place and follow the same format.

I'd try to be more specific, but I know there are many resource spawners floating around out there.

Here is some of my custom log stuff from Hope Lives version 1. I have copied the part in the original Hope lumberjack.src file that created custom logs based on the treetype being chopped to the POL 95 Distro lumberjack source file. Keep in mind a couple of things:

1. I have done this on the fly and did not check to be sure that this will work flawlessly with POL 95 yet but I will soon. Since I am starting over with the POL 95 Distro myself, I had to research how I did it originally so I want to thank Damien for his question.

2. You should assign objtypes (Item numbers) starting at or above 0x4000 to your custom items. The reason for this is because the art tiles use numbers 0x0000 through 0x3fff. Understand when I wrote the original scripts I was new to POL/UO and didn't realize this. That's the reason for Yew logs having th item number 0x1c15.

I rely on the basic entry for wood.cfg in the \pol\regions\ to manage my wood resources rather than try to enter a cfg file for each specific type of wood. So there is no need for any special resource management with my idea. You could make entries for each type if you wanted say Yew trees to give more wood than regular trees. They are bigger than regular trees after-all butI was lazy .


Entry for itemdesc.cfg file (be sure to change Item number to an item not in use; see objtypes.txt in main POL directory for items currently in use. Should be 0x4000 or greater):

Please note, I found a bug in the above script and edited the poat. If you used the script as originally posted you'll need to re-copy it and compile again

[Yukiko]

Also, if you want to change it so you need a minimum of skill to be able to get regular logs you will need to change this line:

[Yukiko]

One more thing.

With this line in you won't get any logs until your skill in LJ is high enough and you won't gain skill at all. So I recommend removing it

[Damien]

Wauw your guys great! Thanks for all support it will surrerly help me.
And i guess it will help loads of other Escript beginners too

Thanks.

[Yukiko]

Sure thing Damien.

[Damien]

Ive tried it and i only get 1 error lucky enough ;D

Updated the script realized it was wrong ;P

This is what i get:

[Damien]

Fixed Thanks for all who helped me: D

[Yukiko]

Sorry Damien. As I said I did that on the fly at the time and forgot this one entry right before the case.

[Damien]

Now there is just a small modification ( i think) too make the whole script
100% complete.

I still got some problem:

1. I cant lumberjack these logs
When i lumberjack i get the normal logs( I've tried different trees)

2.When i create for example a bench with yew logs,
the bench name is still just a bench and it got the normal color.

soo pls help me :

Make these logs lumberjackable and to make so when you create an item from the logs i created, it should have the name for example: a yew bench and also the yew log color.

Pls help
