PM from quest?

[Germais 16]

Hello comunity, i noticed that some servers, mainly Rubinum, has a system created by Vegas which you recieve a PM from the Server. I really liked this ideia and i would really like to add this feature to my server, My question is if, is it possible to do it from the quest functions? If so, how? game.send_pm(name, buffer)?

Hmm maybe modifying the CInputMain::Whisper from input_main.cpp but how would i trigger it from the quests? And the name "SERVER" maybe in packet.h?
char    szNameFrom[CHARACTER_NAME_MAX_LEN + 1];

you can do it without even touching your source files, messing around with the quest login statement and a cmdchat().

There is someone that already make that by using py and lua, but as you said is just on login, maybe someone update it to share the message when the admin wants...

I think he speak about this system from Rubinum, but i dont know if is possible to do with lua (real time for all channels and select all players data) because there need to check all players from all channels and check them language if is en, de or if is global, and send it with special colors, block to send message etc. (like this screen, i find on patchlog of them)

It's posibble, i made it myself, the client send a message from py and writes the message from lua, updated without reboot or so.

sure, thats easy but... how would you change the senders name to [SERVER]?

net.SendWhisperPacket(self.targetName, text)

bool CPythonNetworkStream::SendWhisperPacket(const char * name, const char * c_szChat)
{
	if (strlen(c_szChat) >= 255)
		return true;

	int iTextLen = strlen(c_szChat) + 1;
	TPacketCGWhisper WhisperPacket;
	WhisperPacket.bHeader = HEADER_CG_WHISPER;
	WhisperPacket.wSize = sizeof(WhisperPacket) + iTextLen;

	strncpy(WhisperPacket.szNameTo, name, sizeof(WhisperPacket.szNameTo) - 1);

	if (!Send(sizeof(WhisperPacket), &WhisperPacket))
		return false;

	if (!Send(iTextLen, c_szChat))
		return false;

	return SendSequence();
}
