Did you find a map of every place a keep can be placed and go check?Robot wrote:I just placed a Keep on ice isle a bit ago and i went running around beforehand trying to find anything but ice but no luck. I should say WAS ice island the last good place for a keep?
What scripting program did you use? I don't think Razor allows automated placement of houses, some problem with the targetting cursor not being detected.I actually recreated the houses in the wrong valley from AI on my home server just so I could use a house placement script I wrote to find housing spots.
I wrote the script on the server side, changing the beginning of the OnPlacement() method in HousePlacementTool.cs.Batlin wrote:What scripting program did you use?

Code: Select all
public bool OnPlacement( Mobile from, Point3D p )
{
if ( !from.CheckAlive() )
return false;
int xoff = 0; // Corwin
int yoff = 0; // Corwin
int xlim = 1; // Corwin
int ylim = 1; // Corwin
Point3D pp = p; // Corwin
Corwin:
p.X = pp.X + xoff; // Corwin
p.Y = pp.Y - yoff; // Corwin
if (xoff <= -xlim) // Corwin
{
yoff--; // Corwin
if (yoff < 0) // Corwin
{ // Corwin
xlim++; // Corwin
ylim++; // Corwin
xoff = xlim; // Corwin
yoff = 0; // Corwin
}; // Corwin
}
else if (yoff < ylim) // Corwin
{ // Corwin
if (xoff < xlim) // Corwin
xoff++; // Corwin
else // Corwin
yoff++; // Corwin
} // Corwin
else // Corwin
xoff--; // Corwin
ArrayList toMove;
Point3D center = new Point3D( p.X - m_Offset.X, p.Y - m_Offset.Y, p.Z - m_Offset.Z );
HousePlacementResult res = HousePlacement.Check( from, m_MultiID, center, out toMove );
if ((res != HousePlacementResult.Valid) && (ylim <= 100)) // Corwin
goto Corwin; // Corwin
// the rest is unmodified
Now that is what programming is all about, innovative thinking!

Before asking why no one builds something like this in to a production server, understand that it's very CPU intensive and the way I wrote it, it would bring the entire server to a stop until it finishes searching for a spot.Code: Select all
public bool OnPlacement( Mobile from, Point3D p ) { if ( !from.CheckAlive() ) return false; int xoff = 0; // Corwin int yoff = 0; // Corwin int xlim = 1; // Corwin int ylim = 1; // Corwin Point3D pp = p; // Corwin Corwin: p.X = pp.X + xoff; // Corwin p.Y = pp.Y - yoff; // Corwin if (xoff <= -xlim) // Corwin { yoff--; // Corwin if (yoff < 0) // Corwin { // Corwin xlim++; // Corwin ylim++; // Corwin xoff = xlim; // Corwin yoff = 0; // Corwin }; // Corwin } else if (yoff < ylim) // Corwin { // Corwin if (xoff < xlim) // Corwin xoff++; // Corwin else // Corwin yoff++; // Corwin } // Corwin else // Corwin xoff--; // Corwin ArrayList toMove; Point3D center = new Point3D( p.X - m_Offset.X, p.Y - m_Offset.Y, p.Z - m_Offset.Z ); HousePlacementResult res = HousePlacement.Check( from, m_MultiID, center, out toMove ); if ((res != HousePlacementResult.Valid) && (ylim <= 100)) // Corwin goto Corwin; // Corwin // the rest is unmodified
The code does something funky like starting from the spot you're standing on and expanding it's search in a reverse swirl for up to 100 spots away from your target cursor in all directions or perhaps just in the direction your facing (20,000 to 40,000 spots). I don't believe it deals with z-axis, though, so you need to do it on level ground.
