Description

Inspired by 9fires' MPGM, this is another subroutine for sending a bar graph meter via the text channel to your players. I was intending to merely shorten up his coding but ended up starting over from scratch using a different approach.

A small demo mod is available.

Variables are:
// - iValue: The length of the "foreground" color
// - oPC: The player the message is being sent to
// - sLabel: The label that appears to the left of the meter
// - iBackground: Optional; The background color of the meter; default is black
// - iForeground: Optional; The foreground color of the meter; default is green
// - iShowNumber: Optional; Whether to show the iValue number at the end of the
// graph default is off
// - iMax: Optional; The highest value iValue can be; default is 100 used for
// percentages

oops, thanks for catching that. Dark blue is wrong too. I'll update both shortly.

case 11 of the iBackground switch is wrong. Should read

case 11: sBackColor = STRING_COLOR_PURPLE; break;

And yeh, I dig the math, but I still prefer to calculate the percentage outside of the function.
Modified my MPGM to reflect your math, but essentially they're the same thing.

Happy TwentyTen

Thanks Cap 9fires, it was your script that gave me most of the inspiration to do this ;)

Took me a while to get around to this, Civious. But I gotta say, thats purdy damned clever, I love this bit -

'string sBarMessage = sLabel + ": " + sForeBar + sBackBar;'

That never even occured to me, but damn logical.

Good job.

Cheers

Awesome! Well done.

Posted by Civious at 2009-12-21 07:38:31

Well Gryphyn's coding is quite a bit different than mine but it certainly helped. To say it's "where Civious got his stuff from" makes it sound like I ripped it off.

Link (that's where I haunt)
Civ took the HCR stuff (HTF) I did for TheFold and extended it a bit.
It's only a fancy 'Display' proc, which I used to replace the default HCR one(s)

I'm sure I'll have something come from this =) how useful it is well....anyways thanks for this clever little add.

Thanks for the votes. I got permission from Gryphyn to release his colored meter for the HCR2 hunger/thirst/fatigue systems. I'll be releasing it soon.

Posted by Primeval Atom at 2009-11-30 03:19:30 Voted 10.00 on 11/30/09

It is very neat...

I plan to use it for a HTF & Bonus XP
an increasing meter...

Very nice indeed
Thanks

Nice little piece of coding. I'm going to use it as an inspiration for my own scripting (since I'll be able to write my own with any options I want).

jdeavila: Actually one of the guys in our "group" made one for the HCR2 ruleset that is slightly different. I studied some of his code to make this and forgot to thank him...so a big thanks to Gryphyn ;) I'll ask him if he can release it, in any case we'll be using it in our PW

Posted by jdeavila at 2009-11-24 15:39:28

Can you do something like a "Hunger, Thirst, Fatigue" script system with this?..if so can you upload one for us non-scripter types - thanks!
