Adding a custom class

[Betawolf13]

So when adding a custom class do you have to add an override in the script for the server to detect the new class or can you edit the hardocde and add it in through there? I have added the class to the playerclass folder. I have added its id everywhere i can thnk of to add it. IS there packet or a hidden file i am missing?

This walkthrough will use the example to making a spellcasting class called a Flame Haze.
Step 1: making the class:
The best method is finding a current class that is similar to what you have in mind. I know I want the class to use Int as it's primary, Dex as a secondary, and Qui as the tertiary. I know Eldritch shares this, and is also a pure caster.

Go to DOLSharp/GameServer/PlayerClasses/Hibernia/ClassEldritch.cs and open it.



now you want to make it a Flame Haze, change anything to do with Eld to FH Note: you can also change "Magician" to anything, but in its current state, its still a magician base class, even if you change the "Magician" part.



Save this file as ClassFlameHaze.cs in your GameServerScripts. (or if you're lazy like me, Debug/Scripts folder.

Step 2: Making it known to the server.
Open DOLSharp/GameServer/GlobalConstants.cs and go to line 870, or find the public enum eCharacterClass : byte section.

in a normal server with no custom classes, numbers 0-62 are taken, choose which realm you want this class to be in and at the bottom of the realm add this

Code: Select all

FlameHaze = 63,

rebuild your server and you can now become this class using the /player class 63 command!

you can find examples to make a trainer in the DOLSharp/GameServer/Trainers folder.

now heres where things get most frustrating.
Step 3: Lets give this class some spelllines and abilities.

in the Database, you will need to create entries for them in Specialization, SpecxAbility, Spellline, ClassxRealmAbility, and ClassxSpecialization. it took me a long time to get this right, but just explore the tables and learn from whats there, you'll get it

after that you will need to make custom spells in the Spell table and assign them to a spell line in the LinexSpell table. your class should now be functional!!!

you can do the same with styles, and StylexSpell for a style user.

Feel free to ask me for more help if you get stuck

I have done all this but when i try to change my class it gives me an error in console
2017-11-06 10:17:41,733 - [6] - ERROR - DOL.GS.GamePlayer - No CharacterClass with ID 75 found

Im pretty sure you figured this out, but make sure you add the class to globalconstants and do a rebuild

[Betawolf13]

Yes I did figure this out. There was an extra step I had to take that I was unaware of. I had to right click on the Albion folder under Playerclasses > Add > Existing Item > hit browse >C:\Users\Wicurcyn\Desktop\DOLSharp-master\GameServer\playerclasses\albion\"Playerclass.cs" Once I added this file and rebuilt my solution then i was able to add my class.

[dargon]

ah. see, you dont have to actually put the new class in the core. you can place the ClassNewClass.cs into the debug/scripts folder

So now I am trying to figure out how to make my custom spec lines see able on the server.
I have been able to add it to the trainer and and to the spec window. How ever if you look under spells or combat styles it shows as null.

I have found where the server calls this information from

It is located under the GlobalConstant.cs file
case Specs.Shields: return 0x2B;
case Specs.Flexible: return 0x2E;
case Specs.Staff: return 0x2F;
case Specs.Summoning: return 0x30;
case Specs.Stormcalling: return 0x32;
case Specs.CustomSpec: return 0x33;
If I use the value 0x33 it return null
If I use ox25 it return as Cave Magic
Does anyone know where these identifiers are at?

I am curious, when you create a custom class like this, it does not show up as a possible class when you are creating a new character does it?

[dargon]

no. you will need to do something in game for them to choose the class. I tend to follow 2 choices
1: everyone start as base classes like the old days, and can chose their classes via a trainer.
2: secret "Epic" classes that are custom upgrades on their base class, this works with a mini quest and an npc that sets their new class, but allows them to use a master trainer, or their original trainer to train. another option is just allow the class to be chosen as long as the player meets criteria you want for the class.

I think for spell casters you can just go ahead and add a new spell line to the database. Add the spell line to your class, and it should show up in the caster's spell list (there is no need to modify this part of GlobalConstant.cs)

his issue is with style lines, if he makes a custom style line, the class can train in it, and they get the styles but if its a custom named style line it shows up as "Abilities" instead of "Claws" or "Divine Weaponry"
