Blt Item Name - Jibbster - 24-04-2007

I've tried adding the blt Player Names and it works and then I try to modify it a little and make it work for the items that are on maps but I don't really understand it. I'll post the code I have later, but I've got to go. Thanks Smile

Take a look at the BlyNPC name codes, since they're simpler than the bltPlayerName stuff

(Just because it lacks the QBcolor crap I guess..)

Look at it checking for MapNPC, and work on shifting it all to checking for / Blitting the MapItem instead.

what about the offsets for the items because I think I got an error for those

- Rezeyu - 26-04-2007

Remove them.

Item's don't move, they don't have an offset.

should be a really easy code...

in gameloop... something like...

Code:
for i = 1 to max_map_items

    if map.item(i).spawned = true then

        Call BltItemName(i)

    end if

next i

Code:
Sub BltItemName(ByVal ItemNum as Byte)

' THen in here, just do a Blt like you would with the NPCNames or whatever, but just do it for Map.Item(ItemNum).X/Y

End Sub

Yeah and that wasn't anywhere near correct code. I haven't touched VB in 3 or 4 months... and i don't even really remember how the client handles map items (if they're a part of the Map UDT or not)... just look at that and a few of the global constants and figure it out. It should be really easy to do.

Obsidian, you seem to forget you can drop items as well.

- Obsidian - 26-04-2007

Oh yeah.... whoops :oops: .

Anyways, my point is... just loop through a check for all the items on a map, and then just blt their names. It's really simple to do.

I think all the item names would crowd up the screen.

I set mine to Blit on hover.
