I want quest in english but other languages also

Belfedia · #1 09-29-2005, 09:22 AM

Just a simple question about quests.
All quest are in the Quests directory, but i search how i can localise the quest. After you can choose your language and the quest answer with this language.
Anyone have a perl idea for make that plz ?

My english is very poor (sorry snif)
I don't search translate web site but one idea for my player
A perl code for choose if the player have quest in english or other language

I search how localised the quest

That is a cool idea. Perhaps a new function to check a language field in your database and return the result to perl. And a command in commands.cpp/.h to set that field in the database.

Good luck

Well, you could just add a player command ( a # comamand, like #locale [fr/en/es/etc]) that allows you to change your locale by manually adding a quest global, and then in your quests just have like..

if ($locale eq 'fr')
{
french..
}
elsif ($locale eq 'en')
{
english..
}

Hey Belfedia, if you tell me what version of EQEmu you're using I'd be happy to write it up really quick. Send me an email: admin@awhiteflame.net.

you should be able to do this entirely in perl...
the best way I can say to do it is this..
make a directory on your server named 'locales' somewhere, let the path be /home/eqemu/locales. Make it writeable by the user running eqemu.

use a perl command like (check this syntax, im winging it):

Code:

sub commands_init() {
  command_add("locale", "Set your locale", 0);
}

sub locale {
  my $loc = shift;
  if($loc eq "") {
    $client->Message(13, "You must specify a locale: en or fr");
    return;
  }
  my $name = $client->GetName();
  open(F, ">/home/eqemu/locales/$name");
  print F "$loc";
  close(F);
}

then make a plugin:

Code:

sub get_locale {
  my $name = shift;
  open(F, "</home/eqemu/locales/$name");
  my $loc = <F>;
  close(F);
  return($loc);
}

then you can write a quest like:

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY {
  my $locale = plugin::get_locale($name);
  if($locale eq 'en') {
    #....
  } else {#.....
  }
}

}
[/code]

Belfedia · #12 10-11-2005, 06:25 AM

Nice, but say i'm use a unitialized value in concatenation (.) or string in commands.pl

Code:

open(F, ">/home/eqemu/locales/$name");

Program don't know $name i think ?
i try to add a print "$name";
and i have same error on it.

**fathernitwit** · #13 10-11-2005, 11:33 AM

Code:

my $name = $client->GetName();
