Can someone tell me how to set up a spell scriber

from when they say Scribe spells it does 1 - 75 spells ??

I believe that GeorgeS' Quest tool has an example quest for spell scriber.

Here is the one I use:

Code:

#A conversation to Scribe ALL spells For Player (up to curr. level)

sub EVENT_SAY {



  if ($text =~/hail/i) {

    quest::say ("Good day to you, $name. Would you like me to teach you all of your [spells]?  Or maybe you are a [bard] in need of music lessons?"); }



  if ($text =~/bard/i) {

    quest::say ("Yes, normally you would think of a bard as being an adept student of music.  For some reason, these lands slow the music learning ability to such an extent that I am willing to use my magic to train their abilities.  Are you [ready] to learn?"); }



  if ($text =~/ready/i) {

    quest::say ("Listen closely as the essence of music fills your soul!");

    quest::addskill(12,255);

    quest::addskill(41,255);

    quest::addskill(49,255);

    quest::addskill(54,255);

    quest::addskill(70,255); }



  if ($text =~/spells/i) {

    quest::say ("Good, stand where you are while I begin your lessons");

    quest::scribespells(); }



}

Mine also trains bard skills, since they level insanely slow in the emu. But, if you just want to spell scribe, I am sure you can figure it out from there.

Don't forget to put $ulevel between the quotes where it says "quest::scribespells(); }".

So it will look like this,

"quest::scribespells($ulevel); }"

Otherwise it won't scribe anything.

I hate that as well, and it is a very easy change.

This was take from old source, so it may be out of date, but the change is very simple. In zone\spells.cpp:

Code:

void Client::CheckSongSkillIncrease(int16 spell_id){

        switch(spells[spell_id].skill)

        {

        case SINGING:

                CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);

                break;

        case PERCUSSION_INSTRUMENTS:

                if(this->itembonuses.percussionMod > 0)

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(PERCUSSION_INSTRUMENTS, -20);

                else

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);

                break;

        case STRINGED_INSTRUMENTS:

                if(this->itembonuses.stringedMod > 0)

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(STRINGED_INSTRUMENTS, -20);

                else

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);

                break;

        case WIND_INSTRUMENTS:

                if(this->itembonuses.windMod > 0)

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(WIND_INSTRUMENTS, -20);

                else

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);

                break;

        case BRASS_INSTRUMENTS:

                if(this->itembonuses.brassMod > 0)

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(BRASS_INSTRUMENTS, -20);

                else

                        CheckIncreaseSkill(SINGING, -20);

                break;

        default:

                break;

        }

}

-20 is crawling slow; -15 seemed alright to me; and -10 seemed too fast. I would post it in the development section but it is minor, so please excuse the derail.

IMHO something like this should be placed as custom Rule so admins can set their own skill ups speed.

Doesn't such Rule allready exist for common skills? Bards skill should be incorporated into it then
