Tasks: Castlen Drewe

[Domel]

I was checking out the task system and threw these together from what info I could gather from Allah. I put my id numbers over 100 so they would be away from the other tasks in the db.

The Highpass one would'nt work for me on the SoF client, since it doesn't seem to want to load the old zone version, but it worked fine for me with Titanium.

Outstanding work, thank you! I am currently adding task support to the PHP editor, and once that is done I'll get in this and a few other submitted tasks into PEQ.

[caylah023]

would love to use tasks but as ive barely as ive just barely got perl down...tasks are making me kinda scurred.

[cavedude]

Task actually are mostly DB driven, and there are two GUI tools to aid in writing them. One is a standalone program called Task Master from KLS found on EQEmu SVN: http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list and the other is the PEQ PHP Editor: http://code.google.com/p/peqphpeditor/source/checkout

The little bit of Perl you need for tasks is usually limited to no more than a few lines.

[Domel]

I love the task system, once I saw it was up and running I had to try to learn it. I basically used the wiki on it http://http://www.eqemulator.net/wik...goryTaskSystem and modified my database using MySQL Query Browser. I didn't realize that KLS made the Task Master program for it until after I finished these, but I am just now learning about database stuff so I'm glad I did it the way I did, I learned soo much. I know pretty much nothing about Perl, I grabbed code from other files for what I used.

I like to keep my database up to date with PEQ so I kept my ID numbers at 100+ and modified a bat file that Nosfentora made for botbackup to backup my tasks :

Taskbackup.bat

@echo off
cls
REM Change these variables to suit your setup

REM the name of your database
set db=peq

REM the ip of your MySQL server, leave as is if local
REM -h prefix is needed if remote
set ip=-h127.0.0.1

REM Your database password, leave blank to enter manually
set pass=******

REM the folder to backup to (created in the current folder), set to . to not create a folder
set backupdir=backup
REM the name of the task backup file to create
set backupfile=taskbackup.sql

The next time I do tasks, I'll try out KLS's program, it looks like it'll help alot
