[HELP] Announce System

[Auntie Mangos]

I guess with 'Announce System New' you mean new-Announce-System"]this, I suggest you look at the code of that patch to see how they added the player name to their command and modify the normal announce command so that it works similarly.

Hi, this is my first kernel update and I would need help from Announce

I need to command. ANNOUNCE wrote [system Message] <GM Name> MESSAGE

But I have this:

// global announce
bool ChatHandler::HandleAnnounceCommand(const char* args)
{
   if(!*args)
       return false;

   sWorld.SendWorldText(LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE, m_session->GetPlayerName(), args);
   return true;
}

//notification player at the screen

And write to me as [system Message] <GM Name> and report it

Please help me? Thank you

I do not need 'Announce New System "

This patch have some errors on rev. 7626 and do not work... It is not easy to do?

I didn't say you had to apply it to your source I said you should read the patch (You basically read the code that way) and then modify the existing announce command to suit your needs.

Ok, I'm give to you a basic idea.

bool ChatHandler::HandleAnnounceCommand(const char* args)
{
   if(!*args)
       return false;

   switch(m_session->GetSecurity()) {
     case SEC_MODERATOR:
       strid = LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE_MODERATOR;
       break;
     case SEC_GAMEMASTER:
       strid = LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE_GAMEMASTER;
       break;
     case SEC_ADMINISTRATOR:
       strid = LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE_ADMINISTRATOR;
       break;
     default:
       return false;
   }

   sWorld.SendWorldText(strid, m_session->GetPlayerName(), args);
   return true;
}

-- this is your new string for a base.
|cffff0000[system Message] by|c1f40af20 <Mod>[%s]|cffffff00: %s|r

And the new command will send next msg:

[system Message] by <Mod> Test: Some text.

But you have to define new announce's strings (LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE_MODERATOR & etc) and delete old one from the project and the base.

Why create different strings per SEC level, 1 should suffice with a simple %s that gets replaced by a string for the appropriate level.

oh... i see.

If I has correctly understood that more correct way:

bool ChatHandler::HandleAnnounceCommand(const char* args)
{
   if(!*args)
       return false;
   char* secLevel;

   switch(m_session->GetSecurity()) {
     case SEC_MODERATOR:
       secLevel = "Moder";
       break;
     case SEC_GAMEMASTER:
       secLevel = "GM";
       break;
     case SEC_ADMINISTRATOR:
       secLevel = "Admin";
       break;
     default:
       return false;
   }

   sWorld.SendWorldText(LANG_SYSTEMMESSAGE, secLevel, m_session->GetPlayerName(), args);
   return true;
}


|cffff0000[system Message] by|c1f40af20 <%s> %s|cffffff00: %s|r

But it wrong way, cause there can't be implemented any localization for these 3 words ("GM" etc)... This isn't really big bug but anyway.

added

This work as well on 9254.
