test

Yea, LU works on linux and most of the modules work on linux too, except that .so files are used instead of .dll files.

Hello lucian,
I would like to extend to you a warm welcome to you for joining us in LU. I'll try to answer some of your questions to the best of my ability, I might be wrong though (don't blame me :p)

1)If I'l start a new big project for a server RPG, will be a good ideea?

Personally, I think that LU's half dead/about to die, there are still players that play, and during peak period, I see around 15+- players around, that's not the case eveery day though. If you are confident enough, you might be able to bring LU back to life again;) to its former glory of like 50+ players. That was quite long ago though, and it would really require a huge amount of deciation to the server. Another server owner, Motley previously had the whole of LU hyped for his upcoming server which featured singleplayer styled gamemode. But then he decided to stop working on it, so now we're left with 4-5 servers. But hey, if your server is really good, I believe that it will get lots of players.


2) How many players I can wait to login?

Probably around 10+- during peak period, there are times when not a single player is in LU though.

3) How many slots is maximum fot a LU server?

128

4) There is any good scripter on LU forum who can help me or work with me? (If you have your own server workfull, I can support with money to keep it alive hosted +website/forum/panel)

I have a few years of scripting experience in LU, definitely not the best but I'll be willing to help There are a few more scripters online in the LU discord and I'm sure they'll be willnig to help you out too.

5) Can I make a database mysql wich can save datas every player logout?

Yeah you can, lu has a mysql and sqlite module, one for reading from a file in the server directory and another from reading data somewhere online. I believe the sqlite module's already included in the server when you download it. There's also Inis too.

http://forum.liberty-unleashed.co.uk/index.php/topic,917.0.html

6) There are functions for an RPG server as /startwork /sellproperty /buycar /buyhouse and more?

You'll have to script them yourself, there might be a similar script hiding in script releases though.

7) Whay system is required to a dedicate server to can handle the maximim number of players? (Ramm/cpu/hdd/etc)

Hosting an LU server dosen't require much to be honest, the whole LU server's only about 2+- MB, however if you're planning on adding sounds and sprites, the size of the server will probably increase. Do take into account that currently, there's a bug in LU that kicks people out for 'afk'ing in game, it also happens when people are downloading server data too, so if there is too much stuff for the client to download, the client may not be able to join at all.

8)Would you like to see this project alive,functional and without bugs?

Definitely!

If you need help for anything, simply just post a question in the forums(it might be even more dead that LU itself though). Alternatively, you can also ask the LU discord. There's 2 currently, but I don't know the link to one of them.

Yes you read that right! Helicopters and Nukes are coming to LU!

But firstly, just to make you less excited so you don't do anything stupid, both of them are together in this post BUT not together in a script!


So here's the nuke script

Here are some photos
Aiming screen:


Dropping the nuke:


And the aftermath!:





Controls
W - Moves the camera North   ^
A - Moves the camera West     <
S - Moves the camera South    v
D - Moves the camera East      >
Shift - Moves the camera Up          ^^^
Control - Moves the camera Down   vvv
Left Mouse Button - Launches the Nuke!    X

Commands
/test - "Teleports" you the the "Helicopter" (nice command I know, don't judge)


Known Bugs
Don't you just love bugs.
-The third time anyone drops the nuke, everyone in the server crashes*.
That's it.

*Definition of crash - of (a computer, computing system, or software) fail suddenly, Oxford Dictionary



Summary
So basically you navigate to where you want to nuke with W, A, S, D, fly higher or lower with shift and control and nuke with the left mouse button! (Found on your keyboard and mouse) A bomb will pop out, the camera will follow the nuke to the ground and the nuke will detonate itself when it reaches ground level (if you don't know how nukes work).

I added a nice little counter at the bottom right of the screen that tells you the current position of the camera which you're supposed to pretend is actually a helicopter with nukes, and also the ground level of the camera's position.

Also I've added a maximum flying height of 500m (or whatever units lu uses) and a minimum flying height of about 50m from the ground level, along with a crappy detection system that spams you with "We'll hit a building!" when you are about to hit a building (the lower part of one, anyway).




And the helicopter script
No nukes for this one but hey 3D camera!

More photos








More Controls
F - Enters/Exits the helicopter
ENTER - Starts/Stops the Helicopter's Engine
W - Increases the Helicopter's Engine Power    +++
S - Decreases the Helicopter's Engine Power    - - -
A - Rotates the Helicopter Left   <
D - Rotates the Helicopter Right >
Arrow Up - Tilts the Helicopter Forward      ^
Arrow Down - Tilts the Helicopter Backward   V
Arrow Left - Tilts the Helicopter Left         <
Arrow Right - Tilts the Helicopter Right     >


More Commands
None. Aren't you happy.

Bugs
I realize that the player still moves when flying the plane, and there's still tons of bugs like how the helicopter stops flying halfway sometimes I'm not going to update this anymore so have fun fixing it! xD


Another summary
So basically you enter the helicopter by pressing F, then you start the engine by pressing enter. You give the engine more power by pressing W, less power by pressing S. When you're high enough, press A or D to rotate the helicopter towards the left or right respectively, and press the up down left right arrow key to tilt it forwards, backwards, towards the left or towards the right respectively.

I added an INI file which loads the position of the helicopter and spawns it into the world when the script loads. It is recommended that you use that to spawn in the helicopter instead of manually adding it via commands or whatever method, otherwise fear the wrath of ERRORS!

There's tons of math calculations to this and this script isn't exactly 'edit friendly' so you'll probably have to dig around quite a lot and find out where to change the bindkeys.

The GUI is horribly buggy with tons of overlapping labels, I'm just going to release it now because I'm too lazy to continue working on it. Feel free to edit the script and use it in your server or play around with it or do whatever but if you're going to upload another script based on this, HAVE THE DECENCY TO AT LEAST CREDIT ME AND LINK BACK TO THIS TOPIC. I get really annoyed at people who just takes other people's scripts and claims it as their own.

Other than the GUI, the Helicopter's movement, script management and the camera movement can really be improved (as Vortex suggested). If you are to make a better version of this script, do share it with the LU community by replying to this topic or whatever AS LONG AS YOU CREDIT ME.

Lastly, the reload time thingy was something i wanted to implement but got too lazy to, again, feel free to add guns or nukes or whatever to this thing just... CREDIT ME

Finally for the long awaited Downloads
I put it here just to make you read all my shit
Nuke

Helicopter

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS POST, THR CREDITS

Vortex - calculatuons for the 3d camera for the helicopter script
Krulcifer - My friend IRL that suggested and supported me with ideas
My math teacher - For teaching me wtf sin and cosin was.

Ooooh nice script! Hope to see more scripts coming!

There's a way to add spawnclasses via script but there dosent seem to be a way to remove them. .Remove() and .Delete() both dont work, is there a way to remove spawnclasses via scripts?


Edit:

[7:01 PM] Ankris: foreach(idx, val in SpawnClass) { print(idx+" - "+val); }
[7:02 PM] Rhytz: SCRIPT: constructor - (function : 0x0xf55209c0)

NUEVOS MENSAJES
[7:05 PM] Rhytz: thats lame

Since this feature dosen't currently exist hopefully it'll be added in the next lu version?(still waiting for it ;p)

Can anything be done to these servers?

http://imgur.com/a/88HKF

I found a more efficient way( or not depending on how you look at it ) of /cmds, it basically will check if you meet the criteria and if you do it'll show the command when you type /cmds

Code: [Select]


local CommandLines = 5; //This will show 5 commands per line


local Commands = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h"];//Define all server commands here

function onPlayerCommand( pPlayer, Command, Param )
{
Command = Command.tolower();
if( Command == "cmds" )
{
local MessageLine = "";
local MessageCount = 0;
foreach( String in Commands )
{
if( Your Criteria here )
{
if( MessageCount != 0 ) MessageLine += ", ";
MessageLine += "/" + String.tolower();
MessageCount++;
}
else if( 2nd Criteria )
{
if( More Criteria )
{
if( MessageCount != 0 ) MessageLine += ", ";
MessageLine += "/" + String.tolower();
MessageCount++;
}
}
else if( 3rd Criteria )
{
if( More Criteria )
{
if( MessageCount != 0 ) MessageLine += ", ";
MessageLine += "/" + String.tolower();
MessageCount++;
}
}
else if( Fourth Criteria )
{
if( More Criteria )
{
if( MessageCount != 0 ) MessageLine += ", ";
MessageLine += "/" + String.tolower();
MessageCount++;
}
}
else if( Fifth Criteria )
{
if( More Criteria )
{
if( Even More Criteria )
{
if( MessageCount != 0 ) MessageLine += ", ";
MessageLine += "/" + String.tolower();
MessageCount++;
}
}
}
if( MessageCount == CommandLines )
{
MessagePlayer(MessageLine, pPlayer);
MessageCount = 0;
MessageLine = "";
}

}
if( MessageLine != "" ) MessagePlayer( MessageLine, pPlayer);
}
}


The output will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

/a, /b, /d, /e, /g
/h

You can add more criteria if you want.

This probably isn't the most efficient method however i think its better than listing all the commands when a player types /cmds. If you have a better way of doing this, feel free to reply.

oh nice, works so much better than mine thanks

I made this because I wanted to get the date and day of the week individually which GetFullTime() and GetDate() can't seem to get.

Code: [Select]

function GetDate( Part )
{
Part = Part.tolower();
if( Part == "date" )
{
local Month = GetTok( GetFullTime(), " ", 2 );
local Day = GetTok( GetFullTime(), " ", 3 );
local Year = GetTok( GetFullTime(), " ", 5 );

if( Month == "Jan" ) Month = "January";
if( Month == "Feb" ) Month = "February"
if( Month == "Mar" ) Month = "March"
if( Month == "Apr" ) Month = "April"
if( Month == "May" ) Month = "May"
if( Month == "Jun" ) Month = "June"
if( Month == "Jul" ) Month = "July"
if( Month == "Aug" ) Month = "August"
if( Month == "Sep" ) Month = "September"
if( Month == "Oct" ) Month = "October"
if( Month == "Nov" ) Month = "November"
if( Month == "Dec" ) Month = "December"

return Day + " " + Month + " " + Year;
}
else if( Part == "day" )
{
local Day = GetTok( GetFullTime(), " ", 1 );

if( Day == "Mon" ) Day = "Monday";
if( Day == "Tue" ) Day = "Tuesday"
if( Day == "Wed" ) Day = "Wednesday"
if( Day == "Thu" ) Day = "Thursday"
if( Day == "Fri" ) Day = "Friday"
if( Day == "Sat" ) Day = "Saturday"
if( Day == "Sun" ) Day = "Sunday"
return Day;
}
else if( Part == "time" )
{
local Time = GetTok( GetFullTime(), " ", 4 );

return Time;
}
else return false;
}


Usage:
GetDate("date");
Which returns Day, Month and the Year
For example, 9 March 2017

GetDate("day");
Which returns the day of the week in full form
For example, Thursday

GetDate("time");
Which returns the Hour:Minute:Second
For example, 12:34:56



Note: This might not be the most efficient way to do this but i can't think of any other way so...

Anderi's so biased that he wouldn't specify my option

By "script" he means a script that loads the pickups on server start, getting the data from an ini file.;p

nice one xDDDDD

change dodo skin

You can't actually change the skin of the dodo in LU unless you use mods, but then even if you did it'll only be for the client and not for the whole server.

enter in helicopter and use map editor to move

I think that this is possible but a lot of work will need to be done, helicopter speed, elevation, object moving etc, however the object would be server side and players with higher pings (me :p ) may see the object being moved a bit behind time. Moving the helicopter object might also cause server lag since it has to be moved many times and tons of calculations have to be made.

it probably has something to do with the sync or something, with higher fps, people tend to shoot faster and jump faster while people with lower fps just think that they're using speedhack or something. Anyway LU's fps lock can be disabled but it's pretty troublesome and probably not recommended in most servers
