Untested Tags on NPCs, Items and Maps for Event Editor

[Shenmue]

Tags on NPCs and Items for Event Editor

 

Description:

Instead of adding multiple items for the execution conditions "has item" or "Item equipped is" of an event, you can now add a tag to all identical items and just put one condition. Moreover, there are conditions that make possible the execution of an event depending of the map or the NPCs on the map.

 

Features:

Four new conditions for the execution of an event

1. The player has an item with x tag in his inventory
2. The player equipped an item with x tag
3. The map has NPCs with x tag

4. The map has x tag

Multiple tags per entity (seperated by semi-colons ( ; ) )

For an improved mod with more features, go check @Joyce version of the tag system.

 

V1 to V1.4 : download this patch, be sure to clear all existing tags before applying this as it re-use that field in a different way!

You can also download the zip file in order to be sure you have not missed an update patch.

 

If you have installed the new patch without removing existing tags, you will have to manually modify your database or your server will crash.

Here is a procedure to follow:

Spoiler

1. Download a database (DB) browser for SQLite since Intersect Engine uses SQLite.

This tuto use DB Browser for SQLite

2. Open the DB browser and open your "gamedata.db" file with it. DBs files are located in the server's resources directory. (server\resources\gamedata.db).

3. Go to the "Browse Data" tab and select "Items" table.

4. Remove all texts in the "Tag" column.

5. Redo the step 3 and 4 with "Npcs" Table. 

 

Step 3 and 4:

 

Note: If your server keeps crashing, try to replace the value in the tag columns by this: [""]

 

Note:

This mod adds fields to the database.

You have to add a tag on an Item or an NPC first.
Tags are case sensitive and don't have default value.
NPCs, items and maps tags are not related.

Love this mod!!! (i requested a simular thing a while ago)

 

working great so far

[Cheshire]

That looks like a nifty mod, haven't looked at the source yet though. 

 

Out of curiosity, is it possible to add multiple tags per item by adding commas in between them? (or make it a combobox that stores tags? However the ui implementation for that would work it might be handy to tag items as say Ingredient and Food) 

 

Would it also be possible to add an option to remove items with a specific tag through events from the inventory? Think a seasonal event ended and you want to wipe everyone's seasonal items from their inventory. Could just make a call to remove all items tagged with Seasonal. Or several quest items (ie loaner tools from a crafting tutorial) being removed in one go.

Right now it's not possible. I was thinking about it, and I will probably update the patch with this functionality (use of commas for multiple tags). I don't know when, but probably soon.

It looks pretty cool. I might look into it when I will be done with the other mods I am currently working on.

[Cheshire]

No worries, they're just small suggestions I figured might be handy for something like this. 

 

Might do it myself and post it if I get around to it before you do.

Awesome stuff, guna make things so much easier. Nice work buddy

[Cheshire]

I've made a small adjustment to this already.. Allowing you to add multiple tags seperated by semi-colons ( ; ).

 

I've also made some adjustments to the code that combines all tags into a selectable list.. Honestly, why check whether something exists yourself when you can get the language to do it for you.

 

 

This does not require additional database changes on top of the original mod.

HOWEVER, CLEAR ALL EXISTING TAGS BEFORE APPLYING THIS AS I RE-USE THAT FIELD IN A DIFFERENT WAY!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

 

Download removed because it's implemented in the base patch.

Thanks Joyce, really appreciated <3
I will update the post with your mod

[Cheshire]

No problem, just something I really felt like the tag system could use.

 

EDIT: Just realised I did a dumbdumb, it works.. But some of my .Any() sections could probably be replaced with a .Contains().

 

EDIT2: 

Made another change.. Added the ability to add tags to maps in the map editor the same way as you can with items and NPCs. Also changed some of my code around that wasn't quite right.. AND made a method more generic so it's easier to add new tag event editor stuff.

 

 

Figured this could be used for items/spells not being allowed in certain regions (ie teleport spells and scrolls not working inside dungeons/caves)

Thanks to @Joyce the patch has new features now. You can update your mod version here (requires the first version of the tag system, be sure to remove all existing tags first) or download the full one here.

[Cheshire]

Made another mod, the ability to take items away by tag through the event system.. Ended up cleaning up a ton of the code and rewriting some sections of it entirely.

 

Not sure if at this point I should just release it as my own. lol
