[Mini Tut] Server loads regen only once after start

[Heathcliff™]

Hello!

In the last days I needed that my server loads some mobs only once at server start. I found a function that only quests use (called: "regen_load_in_file") and it's similar what I need. I think it will be useful for some of you, so I decided to share it.

In common/service.h - Add:

#define ENABLE_REGEN_ONCE

In game/src/sectree_manager.cpp - Search:

            snprintf(szFilename, sizeof(szFilename), "%s/%s/regen.txt", c_pszMapBasePath, szMapName);
            regen_load(szFilename, setting.iIndex, setting.iBaseX, setting.iBaseY);

Add under:

#ifdef ENABLE_REGEN_ONCE
            snprintf(szFilename, sizeof(szFilename), "%s/%s/regen_once.txt", c_pszMapBasePath, szMapName);
            regen_load_in_file(szFilename, setting.iIndex, setting.iBaseX, setting.iBaseY);
#endif

In game/src/regen.cpp - Search:

    snprintf(szFilename, sizeof(szFilename), "%sregen.txt", mbMapDataContainer[lMapIndex]->szBaseName);
    regen_load(szFilename, lMapIndex, mbMapDataContainer[lMapIndex]->base_x, mbMapDataContainer[lMapIndex]->base_y);

Add under:

#ifdef ENABLE_REGEN_ONCE
    snprintf(szFilename, sizeof(szFilename), "%sregen_once.txt", mbMapDataContainer[lMapIndex]->szBaseName);
    regen_load_in_file(szFilename, lMapIndex, mbMapDataContainer[lMapIndex]->base_x, mbMapDataContainer[lMapIndex]->base_y);
#endif

If you done it, you can create regen_once.txt with some mobs, and place it to your map folder next to regen.txt. If you don't place it in every map folder, you will get some syserr that says he can't find regen_once.txt. It won't cause any problem, just making your syserr bigger

Best regards, and sorry for my english!

thanks! i will try it
So every server start, the mobs will load only once, but if i kill all the mobs (for example: dungeon, wherre need to kill more mobs and they are respawning) the mobs will load ?
