Outdoor World Pvp

[caligin]

i thinked about the outdoor pvp zones like zangar, hellfire,nagrand,terokkar,eastplaguelands and silithus: is there a way to make them work? i asked on sd2 forums but they said that something like this should be implemented in core. Where should i start for writing a patch for this?

thanks in advance

Write patch and suggest? Or wait when someone will do this.

ok i tried to think about when to trigger the palyer to count for capturing the objective, and i wrote something like this

if(zone->flags & 0x8000 != 0)
       {
               if(HasFlag(PLAYER_FLAGS,PLAYER_FLAGS_IN_PVP) && !(HasStealthAura()))
               {
                       uint32 objective = newZone;
                       switch(objective){
                               case 3669:/*count this palyer for the hellfire stadium cap*/break;
                               case 3670:/*count this palyer for the hellfire overlook cap*/break;
                               case 3671:/*count this palyer for the hellfire broken hill cap*/break;
                               //cases for the other zones like halaa,zangarmarsh,terokkar...
                       }
               }
       }else{
               /*clear player from counting as objective capper*/
       }

in Player::UpdateZone (Player.cpp)

dunno if it's right, i started to look at mangos' source only a few days ago.

Now, for handling the objective control i have no idea where to start.

In the source files i found nothing of dedicated, nor i found anything searching the forums.

Anyone knows how is it handled? are they gameobjects with particular flag o special classes handled by sone maphandler or bghandler?

[caligin]

nobody knows even how the targets on the map (the turrets for hellfire/zangar ot the icons in AB) is handled?

maybe i can write some dedicated code, but at least i have to know how to make this work...

About the player zones, I think you need a more detailed update. Some objective areas only differ in exploreFlag, not even in areaId.

The ab nodes are handled by GO onuse spells, see Spell::EffectOpenLock() and BattleGroundAB::EventPlayerCapturedBanner() for details.

*bump*

i would suggest you to have a function called inside that you can add more checks than in this simple switch

[Ntsc]

The mini map and main map icons are controlled by world states but the actual control of the nodes is not implemented in mangos.

but the question is now will it be implemented?
