Buff other empire.

[Separate 0]

Hello Devs!

 

I would to allow shamans skills between two empires. (Buff Skills)

 

I search in char_skill.cpp to "pkVictim = this" and commented out (becouse this line change how you give buff yourself, not other)  with the if (X) every match, and changed the 
 

ComputeSkill(dwVnum, this);
to
ComputeSkill(dwVnum, pkVictim);

but still cant use buff skills to character whos stay other empire.

 

Does anyone know the solution?

check skill_proto, there's some affect flag regarding this iirc

Thansk, but i think its dead end.

setFlag is empty, and the setAffectFlag just name. 

I search for the name, but match only where definied.

Shogun was on the right track. However it is all client side, no need to modify anything server side or in the DB.

Extract locale.eix or rrlocale.eix, search for skilldesc.txt look for

flags and remove them from the desired skills. Shaman buffs IDs are (Dragon) 94-95-96 and (Heal) 109-110-111.
Remove the | separator as well.


If you want to be able to buff in the no attack circles, you also need to modify the Client exe.
Look for UserInterface/PythonPlayerSkill.cpp
 

}
else
{
    if (pkInstTarget->IsInSafe())
    {
        PyCallClassMemberFunc(m_ppyGameWindow, "OnCannotUseSkill", Py_BuildValue("(is)", GetMainCharacterIndex(), "CANNOT_ATTACK_ENEMY_IN_SAFE_AREA"));
        return false;
    }

Extend the if statement with an pSkillData->IsAttackSkill() call.

}
else
{
    if (pkInstTarget->IsInSafe() && pSkillData->IsAttackSkill())
    {
        PyCallClassMemberFunc(m_ppyGameWindow, "OnCannotUseSkill", Py_BuildValue("(is)", GetMainCharacterIndex(), "CANNOT_ATTACK_ENEMY_IN_SAFE_AREA"));
        return false;
    }

You should be able to buff anyone to your desire afterwards.
