[TUTORIAL] Screen Effect.

[akriso]

First we need to create a spell that will hang up on us effect.

The figure below outlines all that is necessary for that would spell overlay effects.


Next, you need to convert ScreenEffect.dbc with dbcUTIL

Code: [Select]

1 ID int
2 Name str
3 Type int
-  0: ffxEffectGlow
-  1: ffxEffectDeath
-  2: ffxEffectNetherWorld
-  3: ffxEffectSwirlingFog
4 Col color, see in hex. rrggbbxx
5 edge int Screen Edge Size
6 bw int (the higher this is.. the more Black and White the screen will go)
7 unk null
8 LightParams iRefId
9 SoundAmbience iRefId
10 ZoneMusic iRefId

Let's create a test for the effect.

Code: [Select]

900,"test@akriso-2",3,-872349952,0x2,0,,-1,0,0,
900 - ID;
test@akriso-2 - Name;
3 - Effect Swirling Fog;
-872349952  - rrggbbxx;
0x2 - Screen Edge Size;
0 - bw int (the higher this is.. the more Black and White the screen will go);
_  - null;
-1 -  LightParams;
0 - SoundAmbience;
0 - ZoneMusic.

Save both DBC file, restart the server and make a patch for the client.

Code: [Select]

902,"test@akriso-3",2,-176267558,0x2,0,,-1,0,0,

Code: [Select]

900,"test@akriso-2",3,-872349952,0x2,0,,-1,0,0,

Thanks.

as I said - I do not know much English, but understood how you want to learn how to do so, that would spell-activated when a player enters a certain zone.

Here is a chunk of code from TrinityCore


REPLACE INTO `spell_area` VALUES ('Spell ID ', 'Area ID, '0', '0', '0', '0', '2', '1', '64', '11');

Spell will be applied automatically when you log into the zone and can not be canceled.

I think is necessary extract custom vmaps cause spell_area need a Area Id, and if you havent got it, it wont work, if someone can confirm it...

Thanks.

Thanks.

How are vmaps even remotely related to areaid if you want to create a screen effect for a spell ?

Where else would the server know the area id from?!

Here is a video showing the work of the example dungeon Zul'Gurub, I used only 2 new dbc file and line in the sql shown above.

Yes, thanks, but Zulgurub have got a blizzlike Area Id's so if you want to put the screen effect in a custom map, you need to extract custom vmaps, to do that the server recognise the area id of the new zone.

Thanks. when i get it i will make a tutorial.

[akriso]

to create AreaID not need Vmaps ...

[ferreon]

to create AreaID not need Vmaps ...

Create areaid is areatable, but when u put .gps in custom zone dont recognise Vmaps, so dont recognise AreaId, try putting .gps in a blizzlike zone and in a custom zone, see the diference, i think this is the error.

Thanks.
