No more Rats!

[kevinwastaken]

I've made a simple modification which grants the starting player the Rat God artifact, thereby ensuring you never have to deal with rats on your ship again! No cheats, trainers, or debuggers necessary, just a simple mod.


Edit the file <i>RPGUtilite.c</i> which is found in <b>C:\Program Files\Playlogic\Age of Pirates 2\Program\characters</b>

search for <b>void initMainCharacterItem()</b> within the open file.

add the line <b>GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");</b> under each class.

The completed modification should appear as follows:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-spacere;overflow:auto'>void initMainCharacterItem()
{
ref ch = GetMainCharacter();
//trace("initMainCharacterItem " + ch.HeroParam.HeroType);
switch (ch.HeroParam.HeroType)
{
case "Master":
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "topor3");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "topor3");
TakenItems(Pchar, "potion2", 1);
if(CheckCharacterItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1") == 0) GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
break;

case "Merchant":
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "blade1");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "blade1");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "pistol2");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Pistol2");
TakenItems(Pchar, "potion1", 3);
TakeNItems(Pchar, "bullet", 5);
if(CheckCharacterItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1") == 0) GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
pchar.money = 2000;
break;

case "Corsair":
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "blade2");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "blade2");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "pistol1");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Pistol1");
TakenItems(Pchar, "potion1", 5);
TakeNItems(Pchar, "bullet", 10);
if(CheckCharacterItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1") == 0) GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
break;

case "Adventurer":
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Blade10");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Blade10");
TakenItems(Pchar, "potion1", 2);
if(CheckCharacterItem(Pchar, "Spyglass2") == 0) GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Spyglass2");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Spyglass2");
pchar.money = 500;
break;

case "Inquisitor":
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "blade5");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "blade5");
TakenItems(Pchar, "potion1", 3);
TakenItems(Pchar, "jewelry9", 1);
if(CheckCharacterItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1") == 0) GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
break;

case "SecretAgent":
GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "blade5");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "blade5");
if(CheckCharacterItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1") == 0) GiveItem2Character(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar, "Spyglass1");
break;
}
}</div>

How many times have i wished to have a cat aboard... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
However... i've got some good laughs with <i>"blistering barnacles!. On the Libertad rats have devoured 150 units of rum"</i>... Now, THAT'S GOT TO BE A PARTY !!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="24.gif" />

If you add that line outside the switch, it'll still work and save you adding it several times.

Also is you add these lines you can have as many as you want.

GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar,"indian11");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar,"indian11");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar,"indian11");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar,"indian11");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar,"indian11");
GiveItem2Character(Pchar,"indian11");
EquipCharacterbyItem(Pchar,"indian11");


this will give you 6 of said item....No more rats....

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You have to equip an indian idol? And what's the point in having several?
Anyway, there's probably a TakeNItems function too, just like in PotC.
You could just do <i>TakeNItems(PChar,"indian11",6);</i> and also get six of them things.

That you can give them to your officers so that your other ships are also vermin free.
