SendMessage packet (PacketLib168)

[stephenxpimentel]

Heya, there seems to be a problem when using

Code: Select all

 SendMessage(string message, eChatType.CT_ScreenCenter_And_CT_System, eChatLoc.CL_ChatWindow);

i see in this code that there is checks for certain types of messages, do we need to add another one, or does the existing one mess it up?

it adds "@@" at the beginning of the message.

Code: Select all

public virtual void SendMessage(string msg, eChatType type, eChatLoc loc)
      {
         if (m_gameClient.ClientState == GameClient.eClientState.CharScreen)
            return;

         // types not supported by 1.68+ clients
         switch (type)
         {
            case eChatType.CT_ScreenCenterSmaller:
            case eChatType.CT_ScreenCenter:
               return;
         }

         using (var pak = new GSTCPPacketOut(GetPacketCode(eServerPackets.Message)))
         {
            pak.WriteShort((ushort) m_gameClient.SessionID);
            pak.WriteShort(0x00);
            pak.WriteByte((byte) type);
            pak.Fill(0x0, 3);

            String str;
            if (loc == eChatLoc.CL_ChatWindow)
               str = "@@";
            else if (loc == eChatLoc.CL_PopupWindow)
               str = "##";
            else
               str = "";

            str = String.Concat(str, msg);
            pak.WriteString(str);
            SendTCP(pak);
         }
      }

notice this here.

Code: Select all

String str;
            if (loc == eChatLoc.CL_ChatWindow)
               str = "@@";
            else if (loc == eChatLoc.CL_PopupWindow)
               str = "##";
            else
               str = "";

now i see that it does a String.Concat, i'm not sure what that does, i will google it tomorrow. lol, any feedback would be nice as to a solution for this

its all correct, @@ and ## are the old old old channel directors, which are still used by daoc

[Dinberg]

its because of the chat destination iirc, which afaik can only be system for that particlar type
