Stop Ghost-Cam!

Post by Core Essence »

I thought to a new member in NpcTemplate structure in npcdesc.cfg, GhostCanSeeIt 0/1 (default 0).
If it's setted to 1 ghost can't see that npc.

In this way ghost cannot discover hidden quest, mount respawns, ecc...

I'm hearing the words "packet hooks" in my mind.
*grins*
Several years ago I had a similar idea regarding ghosts not "hearing" speech of live characters and was told "wait til POL 0.96 is released and then you'll be able to hook the soeech packet". So could packet hooks do what Core Essence is suggesting?

I haven't done it. I was just suggesting that packethooks might be the answer. Anyone know which one to use?

Code: Select all

//#####GHOST CAM PREVENTION PACK####
// Draw Object
Packet 0x78 
{
	Length variable
	SendFunction    packethooks:s_SendObject
}

// 0x78 extension
Packet 0xD3 
{
	Length variable
	SendFunction    packethooks:s_SendObject
}

// Update Player
Packet 0x77
{
	Length 17
	SendFunction    packethooks:s_UpdatePlayer
}

// PlaySoundEffect
Packet 0x54
{
	Length 12
	SendFunction    packethooks:s_SoundEffect
}

// Send Text
//Packet 0x1C
//{
//	Length variable
//	SendFunction    packethooks:s_SendSpeech
//}
I am currently using those one (did not handle the speech yet)
It doesn't handle the items tough, only sounds and NPC/Characters
Mobiles names are not send if there is no graphic, the annoying thing is that when they speech it appears like a SendSysMessage with no character name
