| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Making a Program|Making a Program]] |
| − | This documentation is designed for people with some experience in programming.
| |
| − | Experience in C is recommended, but PASCAL or BASIC in some form or other
| |
| − | will do just fine too.
| |
| | | | |
| − | DIL is a simple programming language with fixed types reflecting the types | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Data Types|Data Types]] |
| − | used in Valhalla Mud. The language gives you almost endless possibilities in
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/string|string]] |
| − | designing your adventures and quests. It gives you the control you need for
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/stringlist|stringlist]] |
| − | making the game interesting and intelligent.

| | | | |
| − | You define your DIL programs within your zone file. Each program you make is a | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Built-In Variables|Built-In Variables]] |
| − | *template*. Such a template must be equipped with a unique name (for that zone).
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/cmdstr|cmdstr]] |
| − | Templates can either be defined in a new %dil section, just below the %zone
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/excmdstr|excmdstr]] |
| − | section in the zone file, or directly attached to units defined in your zonefile.

| | | | |
| − | If you define your DIL templates inside a unit definition, that unit is | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/DIL Constructs|DIL Constructs]] |
| − | automatically assigned a program using that template. If you want to use an
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/if()|if()]] |
| − | already designed template, either in your own, or another zone, you use a
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/goto|goto]] |
| − | special function named "dilcopy", that takes the name of a template, and any
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/while()|while()]] |
| − | optional parameters in parenthesis. The parameters of a template called with
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/break|break]] |
| − | 'dilcopy' may only be of types integer, strings and stringlists.
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/continue|continue]] |
| | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/on ... goto ...|on ... goto ...]] |
| | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/foreach()|foreach()]] |
| | | | |
| − | Example:
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Assignment|Assignment]] |
| | | | |
| − | dilcopy myfunc@myzone("say Hello, my friend!", 1, CMD_SAY, {"name1", "name2"});
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Expressions|Expressions]] |
| | | | |
| − | DIL templates can always be reused. In fact, with version 2.0 of DIL, programs | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Operators|Operators]] |
| − | are no longer saved with equipment, but only a symbolic reference is used. That
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/in|in]] |
| − | way, if you make a change in your zone, ALL units using that program are changed.
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/string in string|string in string]] |
| − | This however requires you keep the name. Upon loading, if a template is not
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/string in stringlist|string in stringlist]] |
| − | found, the program is halted and rendered useless until such a reference can be
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/string in extraptr|string in extraptr]] |
| − | found during loading.

| | | | |
| − | When you use several 'dilcopy' in your zonefile, only one instance is present | + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Fields|Fields]] |
| − | game-time, thus saving tremendous amounts of memory. It is similar to a shared
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/extraptr|extraptr]] |
| − | library, in which code is shared but variables are not.

| − | A template is defined by beginning with 'dilbegin' and ending with 'dilend'.
| + | [[Manual:DIL_Manual/Ending Notes|Ending Notes]] |
| − | Inside the template your program section is defined, marked by the keyword 'code',
| |
| − | followed by the program itself;
| |
| | | | |
| − | dilbegin myprogram();
| + | [[Category:Manual Title Pages]] |
| − | var
| |
| − | i : integer;
| |
| − | j : integer;
| |
| − | | |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | heartbeat:=PULSE_SEC*5;
| |
| − | :start:
| |
| − | exec("say Hello world", self);
| |
| − | pause;
| |
| − | goto start;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend
| |
| − | | |
| − | This simple template does nothing but making its owner say 'Hello world' once
| |
| − | every 5 seconds. The template is called 'myprogram' and takes no arguments. The
| |
| − | 'pause' command waits for the program to receive a timer message, whose interval
| |
| − | is set by the 'inline' variable 'heartbeat'. The 'self' variable is a unitptr
| |
| − | referring to the unit owning the DIL program. Other inline variables will be
| |
| − | explained later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For a DIL program to work, it must be part of a *unit*: a room, player, non-player
| |
| − | or object. The program uses *messages* to operate. Your program gets activated
| |
| − | when it receives a message that some command is being executed, or a certain amount
| |
| − | of time has passed. You decide yourself in the program, what to wait for, before
| |
| − | the program continues executing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Supposing you want your program to contain variables, you have to put them in a
| |
| − | section before the 'code' section marked 'var'. The variables are declared by
| |
| − | their type and their name, separated by a ':' and ended by a ';'
| |
| − | | |
| − | For an example, see the program above. Variables of type 'string', 'stringlist'
| |
| − | and 'integer' are saved, if the unit the program is attached to is saved with
| |
| − | player inventory. Variables of type 'unitpr' and 'extraptr' are 'volatile'. This
| |
| − | means that they are cleared whenever there is a chance that their contents may
| |
| − | have been rendered non usable. This ensures that you do not have any 'loose'
| |
| − | pointers. However it is possible to 'secure' the contents of a 'unitptr' type
| |
| − | variable of a unit located in your local environment (the units directly 'visible'
| |
| − | to the unit who owns the DIL program) (see the secure / unsecure functions).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Data Types:
| |
| − | | |
| − | DIL supports a fixed set of types you can use and manipulate. Through these, you
| |
| − | can get and manipulate information about almost anything in the game. The types
| |
| − | are listed below:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª
| |
| − | String:
| |
| − | | |
| − | A string is some text. They are used for a lot of things such as command
| |
| − | arguments, room descriptions etc. String variables are automatically resized and
| |
| − | allocated when you assign them, so you do not have to worry about the string
| |
| − | length nor allocation in your DIL programs. Strings may be compared either with
| |
| − | '==' (equal to),
| |
| − | '!=' (not equal),

| |
| − | | |
| − | Static strings are defined just as in the rest of the zone, within double
| |
| − | quotations. Strings may be searched easily with the 'in' operator. Variables
| |
| − | of type string are saved with DIL programs, if attached to a saved unit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | "This is a static string"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Strings may also be added to each other, in an expression.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | "say "+itoa(42)+" is the answer!"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | if (self.name == self.names.[1]) ...
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Elements of the string can also be accessed by referencing them by their position.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Example
| |
| − | if (str.[3]==f])
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | exec ("say The 4th element is a F.",self);
| |

| |
| − | Note
| |
| − | Currently you can only access the single elements of a string you can not set
| |
| − | them. In the future this will be possible. You can still accomplish this by
| |
| − | copying one string to the other one element at a time and changing any that you
| |

| − | Stringlist:
| |
| − | | |
| − | A stringlist is a list of separate strings. This is used for things such as
| |
| − | (multiple) names or keywords. You may request a specified word in a stringlist
| |
| − | by its number.
| |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | mystring := self.names.[2];
| |
| − | | |
| − | Returning null if out of bounds of the stringlist (see 'length()'). Static
| |
| − | stringlists are defined just as in the rest of the zonefile, as a comma separated
| |
| − | list of static strings within curly brackets.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | mysrtringlist := {"Some string","another string","the last string"}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Stringlists are modified through the 'addstring()' and 'substring()' procedures.
| |
| − | Stringlists are searched easily by the 'in' operator. See documentation below.
| |
| − | They can also be set directly (see example above). Variables of type string are
| |
| − | saved with DIL programs, if attached to a saved unit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Elements of each separate string in a stringlist can be accessed by appending
| |
| − | a separate position at the end of the request for a string as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example
| |
| − | if (strlist.[5].[3]=="b"){
| |
| − | do something
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note
| |
| − | See the strings for more information on accessing a single element.

| − | Integer:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Non-fraction numbers can be used throughout your DIL programs. They are given
| |
| − | normally, or in normal C style hexadecimal, preceded with '0x'. Integers are
| |
| − | signed 32-bit integers. Variables of type string are saved with DIL programs,
| |
| − | if attached to a saved unit.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 0x10
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2
| |
| − | | |
| − | Integers are used within expressions as both number value and boolean(true/false)
| |
| − | values. You may use comparison between integers through the comparison operators:
| |
| − | '==' (equality),
| |
| − | '' (greater than),
| |
| − | '=' (greater or equal)
| |
| − | '!=' (not equal).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | if (42Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | if ( not ( (self.hp10) ) ) ..
| |
| − | | |
| − | Integer expressions may also use a number of other operators:
| |
| − | '+' (addition)
| |
| − | '-' (subtraction/negation),
| |
| − | '*' (multiplication),
| |
| − | '/' (division),
| |
| − | '|' (bitwise or, for flags),
| |
| − | '&' (bitwise and, for flags)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Precedence rules for using these operators are still somewhat messed up. You'd
| |
| − | better use parenthesis where ever possible.

| − | Messages:
| |
| − | | |
| − | In DIL, a program attached to a unit gets activated when the program receives
| |
| − | a message. In order to save CPU usage, there are a number of different message
| |
| − | categories which can cause activation of a program. The 'wait()' commands first
| |
| − | parameter is an integer, telling what message categories the program should
| |
| − | reactivate on. The second parameter is an expression, which also must evaluate
| |
| − | to TRUE. 'pause' is just special instances of the 'wait()' command.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Caveat Builder:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Whenever you construct the arguments for the wait command, bear in mind that
| |
| − | ALL your tests will be executed EVERYTIME a message of the relevant kind comes
| |
| − | through. Thus you should keep the length of the activation expression to a
| |
| − | reasonable minimum, and you should NEVER use the time-consuming findxxx-functions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Valid example (That prohibits a player from removing an object):
| |
| − | | |
| − | :glue:
| |
| − | | |
| − | wait(SFB_CMD,command(CMD_REMOVE));
| |
| − | u := findunit(activator,argument,FIND_UNIT_IN_ME,null );

| |
| − | | |
| − | 'activator'... The PC / NPC which executed the command
| |
| − | 'medium'...... The unit which is operated upon.
| |
| − | 'target'...... The target of the operation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example, assume the player John gives a garlic to Mary the Lumberjack
| |
| − | wife. The following values are set:
| |
| − | | |
| − | activator == John (unitptr)
| |
| − | medium == Mushroom (unitptr)
| |
| − | target == Mary (unitptr)
| |
| − | | |
| − | command(CMD_GIVE) will evaluate to true.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You thus know that Mary has in fact received the mushroom. It is NOT possible
| |
| − | to block (using the 'block' command) these commands since they have already
| |
| − | been executed at the time of notification. In a 'get' command, medium would
| |
| − | be a unitptr to where the unit was taken from, and target would be the object
| |
| − | which was taken.
| |
| − | | |
| − | See the file commands.txt for a description of how the arguments are set for
| |
| − | each command. If you can not find a command in there, just ask to get it

| − | keyword 'aware' should be listed just after 'dilbegin'.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When a unit is saved, normally, the DIL programs in it would restart when the
| |
| − | program is loaded. However it is possible to let DIL programs recall their
| |
| − | execution from where they left off when they where saved. This is done by
| |
| − | listing the keyword 'recall' after the 'dilbegin'. This is however a bit
| |
| − | limited. Only the status of the original template are saved. Not the state
| |
| − | inside a template called as a function or procedure from inside the original
| |
| − | template. 'secure' and interrupts are not recalled upon loading the template.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin recall aware mute();
| |
| − | var
| |
| − | i : integer;
| |

| |
| − | The smart thing is that the 'aware' keyword lets the program receive messages

| − | SFB_PRE Command preprocessing
| |
| − | | |
| − | When this flag is set, the program is activated by a few special events
| |
| − | which can then be blocked or changed. Currently, this event is triggered
| |
| − | just prior to a spell being cast, and just prior to any sort of damage
| |
| − | being given to a target.
| |
| − | | |
| − | PRE "command(CMD_CAST)"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Assume a a spell is cast from player A on player B with a scroll C.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'activator'... is a unitptr to A.
| |
| − | 'medium' ... is a unitptr to C.
| |
| − | 'target' ... is a unitptr to B.
| |
| − | | |
| − | command(CMD_CAST) will evaluate to TRUE.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'argument'.... will contain a number followed by any
| |
| − | argument to the spell itself. You should
| |
| − | parse this number, it equals the spell number SPL_XXX.
| |
| − | 'power' .... is set to 'HM', i.e. how powerful the spell cast
| |
| − | is going to be. YOu can change this number at will.
| |
| − | If you decide to block the spell, you ought to set it
| |
| − | to -1.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:

| |
| − | | |
| − | s := getword(argument);
| |
| − | splno := atoi(s);

| − | Assume that damage is given from player A to player B with a sword C.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'activator'... is a unitptr to A.
| |
| − | 'medium' ... is a unitptr to C.
| |
| − | 'target' ... is a unitptr to B.
| |
| − | | |
| − | command(CMD_AUTO_DAMAGE) will evaluate to TRUE.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'power' .... is set to how much damage will be given. You can change
| |
| − | this number at will, but you should not set it to less
| |
| − | than zero.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'argument'.... will contain three numbers that you must parse to
| |
| − | determine what kind of damage we're talking about.
| |
| − | | |
| − | First number is the attack group, this can be one of
| |
| − | MSG_TYPE_XXX from values.h and/or vme.h.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Second number is dependant on the attack group and
| |
| − | identifies what damage compared to the group. For
| |
| − | example WPN_XXX for weapon group.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Third number is the body hit location, one of WEAR_XXX,
| |
| − | (but not all of them, just hands, feet, legs, body, head,
| |
| − | arms, i.e. the armour positions, not positions like finger
| |
| − | or ear).

| |
| − | | |
| − | s1 := getword(argument);

| − | A note upon activating a DIL program
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is what you can't do:
| |
| − | | |
| − | If a DIL program is already active, e.g. it is sending a message or
| |
| − | perhaps using "exec" to perform an action, then it can not be activated.
| |
| − | Thus, any active DIL program is unable to catch further messages.
| |
| − | Imagine this setting:
| |
| − | | |
| − | You have five program P1..P5. P1 sends a message, which is intercepted
| |
| − | by P2. P2 now sends a message, but since P1 is busy it can not process
| |
| − | the message. P3..P5 are however possible candidates.
| |
| − | Assume P3 sends a message, and P4 acts upon it. P4 now sends a message
| |
| − | and the ONLY program which can catch it is P5, since all the other programs
| |
| − | are "busy". If P5 sends a message no-one can act upon it. When P5
| |
| − | returns, so does P4, P3, P2 and finally P1.

| − | Built-in Variables:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'cmdstr'
| |
| − | This variable is a string which contains the "command" which was entered
| |
| − | by a player. The result of adding:
| |
| − | | |
| − | cmdstr + " " + argument
| |
| − | | |
| − | is the entire string as entered by the player.
| |
| − | The 'cmdstr' is EXPANDED by the interpreter, so assume a player
| |
| − | types 's' then the string is expanded to 'south'.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 'excmdstr'
| |
| − | This variable is a string which contains the "first string" which was entered
| |
| − | by a player. The result of adding:
| |
| − | | |
| − | excmdstr + " " + argument
| |
| − | | |
| − | is the entire string as entered by the player. The 'excmdstr' is not
| |
| − | EXPANDED by the interpreter, but it is converted to lower case. So
| |
| − | assume a player types 'S' then the string is returned as 's'. The
| |
| − | 'excmdstr' is however changed to all lower case if you don't want
| |
| − | this see 'excmdstr_case'.

| |
| − |
| |

| − | | |
| − | excmdstr_case + " " + argument
| |
| − | | |
| − | is the entire string as entered by the player.
| |
| − | The 'excmdstr' is not changed in anyway from how a player types it.
| |
| − | If a player types 'S' then the 'excmdstr_case' will have 'S' in it.

| − | on n goto la, lb, ..., ln:
| |
| − | | |
| − | This construct is an easy way of performing a goto operation
| |
| − | based on the result of an integer. The integer value 'n' must
| |
| − | be zero or positive and less than the number of labels specified
| |
| − | in the label-list. If n is outside this range, the on-goto operation
| |
| − | is skipped and execution continues at the next instruction.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Based on the value of 'n' execution continues at the label
| |
| − | corresponding to number 'n' in the list. I.e. if n is 0, then
| |
| − | execution continues at the first specified label, if n is 1
| |
| − | then at the second, etc. etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Assume you have an integer 'i' larger than zero, which takes
| |
| − | on 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Based on each value you need to take a
| |
| − | different action, this is how you can do it:
| |
| − | | |
| − | on i goto grin, laugh, grin, nada, poke, laugh;
| |
| − | log("Value was not in the range 0..5");
| |
| − | quit;
| |
| − | | |
| − | :laugh:
| |
| − | exec("grin", self);
| |
| − | goto ...;
| |
| − | | |
| − | :grin:
| |
| − | exec("cackle", self);
| |
| − | goto ...;

| |
| − | | |
| − | :poke:
| |
| − | exec("smirk", self);
| |
| − | goto ...;
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is often used in this context

| − | | |
| − | on rnd(0,4) goto l1, l2, l3, l4, l5;

| |
| − | foreach:
| |
| − | Foreach is an easy way to process all the units in the
| |
| − | local environment relative to the 'self' executing the
| |
| − | foreach. Foreach takes care of creating a list of local
| |
| − | units, and of securing them. You can use both break and
| |
| − | continue in a foreach statement. The unit executing the
| |
| − | foreach ('self') is always a part of the foreach.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is important to understand that the units in the local
| |
| − | environment are relative to the 'self' executing the foreach.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | This foreach is copied onto the spell caster, and hence all units
| |
| − | relative to the spell caster (i.e. self) are processed in the foreach.
| |
| − | Assume that it was executed on the spell caster's staff, then all units
| |
| − | found would be relative to the staff, i.e. the spell caster's inventory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...
| |
| − | foreach (UNIT_ST_PC|UNIT_ST_NPC, u)
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | if (u.hp u.max_hp)
| |
| − | u.hp := u.max_hp;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | else
| |
| − | act("Warm raindrops fall upon you.",
| |
| − | A_ALWAYS, u, null, null, TO_CHAR);
| |
| − | pause;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | ...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Assignment:
| |
| − | You can assign values to the variables you declare
| |
| − | in your 'var' section, and some of the built-in
| |
| − | variables. This is done by the ':=' operator.
| |
| − | Note that you can also assign a variable the result
| |
| − | of an expression
| |
| − | (the addition of strings below as an example)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin foo();
| |
| − | var
| |
| − | myvarsl : stringlist;
| |
| − | myvars : string;
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | :start:
| |
| − | myvarsl := {"a string","another","the first"};
| |
| − | myvars := self.name+" XX ";
| |
| − | myvarsl.[2] := "the last";
| |
| − | myvarsl.[3] := "illegal"; /* Will not work since [3] is not defined */
| |
| − | pause;
| |
| − | goto start:
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend
| |
| − | | |
| − | Expressions:
| |
| − | The expressions used in assignment can return any
| |
| − | of the types you can declare variables. Also they might return
| |
| − | fail or null. An expression returning fail will not result
| |
| − | in any action being taken. Fail is returned when you
| |
| − | request a field from a null pointer, or the like.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin foo();
| |
| − | var
| |
| − | myvarsl : stringlist;
| |
| − | myvars : string;
| |
| − | myvarint : integer;
| |
| − | myvaredp : extraptr;
| |
| − | myvarunit : unitptr;
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | :start:
| |
| − | myvarunit := self.inside.next;
| |
| − | myvarsl := {"a string","another","the last"};
| |
| − | myvars := self.name+" XX "+itoa(self.hp);
| |
| − | myvarint := activator.hp;
| |
| − | myvaredp := "Rabbit Stew Complete" in activator.quests;

| |
| − | Operators:
| |
| − | | |
| − | DIL features many other operators. For integers,
| |
| − | '', '=', '!=' '==' signify less than,
| |
| − | greater than, less or equal, greater or equal, not equal,
| |
| − | and equality operators. Furthermore, you can compare
| |
| − | strings with '==' or '$=' for equality test, and '!='
| |
| − | for non equality. Pointers may also use '==' and '!='
| |
| − | and you may force DIL to compare pointers, even for
| |
| − | strings with the '#=' pointer-equality operator.
| |
| − | The '$=' and '#=' is considered obsolete, and only
| |
| − | used for backward compatibility.

| |
| − | in:
| |
| − | The special operator 'in' is a multipurpose operator for

| |
| − | for words in strings.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Functions:
| |
| − | DIL features an extended set of built-in functions
| |
| − | for extended program control. Built-in functions can be part of
| |
| − | any expression in DIL. The built-in functions are
| |
| − | listed later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin foo();
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | exec("say I exist in "+itoa(self.loaded)+"copies", self);
| |
| − | pause;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend
| |
| − | | |
| − | DIL also lets you use templates as functions, but in a
| |
| − | limited way. Using templates as functions, you may only
| |
| − | use the return value to assign it to one of the variables
| |
| − | declared in the 'var' section. No fields.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin integer bar(s:string);
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | exec("say "+s,self);
| |
| − | return rnd(1,10);
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin foo();
| |
| − | external
| |
| − | integer bar(s:string);
| |
| − | var
| |
| − | myint:integer;
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | myint := bar("rolling the dice.");
| |
| − | exec("say I rolled a "+itoa(myint));
| |
| − | pause;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend

| |
| − | quit:
| |
| − | This simple command quits the entire DIL program, even if
| |
| − | called while inside a procedure or function.
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | return:
| |
| − | Return from a call to a procedure template (no return type
| |
| − | declared). The execution continues from where the procedure
| |
| − | was called.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª
| |
| − | return():
| |
| − | Return from a call to a function (return type declared).
| |
| − | The expression inside the parenthesis evaluates to the value
| |
| − | returned.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª
| |
| − | DIL also allows for game-time *symbolic* resolving of
| |
| − | function/procedure names. This allows you to pass template names
| |
| − | as string arguments and call them in your program. This kind of
| |
| − | function call requires taxing look ups and type check runtime, so
| |
| − | use the normal kind of procedures if possible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In effect, the syntax of a symbolic call is similar to that of
| |
| − | a normal, except you use a string variable as function name
| |
| − | instead of the real function name. If the string variable contains
| |
| − | a valid reference to a procedure/function, and all the argument
| |
| − | types matches the found templates argument types, the call
| |
| − | is made. Otherwise, the call is skipped. Note that you will get no
| |
| − | type check by the compiler when using symbolic references.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fields:
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 'extraptr' and 'unitptr' types contain information which is available to
| |
| − | you by using fields. For example (self is a unitptr), self.inside is a
| |
| − | unitptr to what is inside the 'self' unit. (Hence '.inside' is the field).
| |
| − | And self.inside.outside is a unitptr to self (assuming that something is
| |
| − | actually inside self, otherwise self.inside would evaluate to null).
| |
| − | Some fields may not be changed by DIL programs directly but must be modified
| |
| − | indirectly using certain procedure calls in DIL. Others may not be changed
| |
| − | at all. All are readable for DIL programs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The extraptr structure is used for several things. The primary is
| |
| − | extra descriptions for units, and quest data. Keywords in the 'names'
| |
| − | field and the actual description/data in the 'descr' field.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the following (RW) means the value may be assigned new values by DIL,
| |
| − | while (RO) means the the value only can be read. A (RO) value might be
| |
| − | possible to change through built-in functions/procedures

| |
| − | in the documentation below.

| |
| − | '<', '<=', '>=', symbols.
| |

| |
| − | if 'u' not null returns null and loads Units from the specified file into the
| |
| − | unit 'u'
| |
| − | | |
| − | restore loads a copy of a unit or units which were previously saved with the
| |
| − | 'store' command. Just as with "load", the unit is put inside the unit which
| |
| − | executes the restore command unless the 'u' argument is not null. If the 'u'
| |
| − | argument is an unitptr like room, object, npc, or pc the items restored will be
| |
| − | placed inside the 'u' Unit..
| |
| − | Note, It is only possible to restore items as long as the main-database
| |
| − | contains a reference for the unit 'name@zone'. Use 'Store' and 'Restore'
| |
| − | sparingly, remember that items saved in player's inventories are automatically
| |
| − | saved in this instance.
| |
| − | The 'store' and 'restore' are perfect for operations such as mud mailing
| |
| − | objects from player to player, storage devices for players that will keep
| |
| − | inventory through a reboot. Even the ability to save a players inventory while
| |
| − | they fight in an arena and restore it to them undamaged when finished. Finally
| |
| − | it could be used to save a donation room through reboots since it can be used on
| |
| − | a room to store the contents of a room any NPC or objects in the room would be
| |
| − | saved through reboot.
| |
| − | Disk access is always slow.
| |
| − | If you use 'Restore' on a continuous basis always attempt to keep file sizes to
| |
| − | a minimum for quick loading. Otherwise you might cause serious delays on the
| |
| − | server. If the Dil that uses Restore saves at certain times try to make it so

| − | construct could never evaluate to true. This should be evident

| |
| − | unitptr findunit ( u : unitptr , s : string , i : integer , l : unitptr )
| |
| − | u : The unit the local environment is relative to.
| |
| − | s : A string with name of the unit to find.
| |
| − | i : The environment, where to look for it, see FIND_UNIT_*
| |
| − | in values.h and/or vme.h.
| |
| − | l : An optional list of units to search.
| |
| − | return: If the unit is found, the function returns that unit.
| |
| − | Returns null if nothing found.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first argument is typically the char that's looking for something,
| |
| − | i.e. if Mary needs a spoon to stir the pot, she'll be the first argument.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The second argument is what you're looking for, represented by a string.
| |
| − | In the above mentioned example, that'd be "spoon".
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the second or third argument, you have a choice, as you'll only need to
| |
| − | use one of them, and let the other be 0 or null. For instance, if you have
| |
| − | a pointer to Mary's kitchen utensil pot, you can use the line:
| |
| − | | |
| − | findunit(mary, "spoon", 0, pot);
| |
| − | | |
| − | Or you can just let her look around for it with:
| |
| − | | |
| − | findunit(mary, "spoon", FIND_UNIT_INVEN or FIND_UNIT_SURRO, null);
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can use all the FIND_UNIT_ values defined in values.h and/or vme.h, if you
| |
| − | want to look for something for example within the zone (FIND_UNIT_ZONE), the
| |
| − | entire world (FIND_UNIT_WORLD) (you rarely need to do that, it's mainly for
| |
| − | tell etc.), or just the inventory or equipment of the char in question
| |
| − | (FIND_UNIT_INVEN and FIND_UNIT_EQUIP). Finally, as in the example above,
| |
| − | you can look in the room of the char (FIND_UNIT_SURRO).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Using FIND_UNIT_PAY or FIND_UNIT_NOPAY in this function will be ignored.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The flags for findunit, intuitively:
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_EQUIP:
| |
| − | The objects you will see with `equipment'
| |
| − | Assumes first argument to findunit is a char.
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_INVEN:
| |
| − | The objects you will see with `inventory' or `look in bag'
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_SURRO:
| |
| − | The objects you can see, and get with `get',
| |
| − | or the characters you can `poke' :-)
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_ZONE:
| |
| − | As FIND_UNIT_WORLD, only more local.
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_WORLD:
| |
| − | Any object in the entire world. Does NOT start looking close to the
| |
| − | object of findunit's first argument, but rather somewhat randomly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On top of these, the following (new) values are defined:
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_IN_ME:
| |
| − | Anything inside of the object of the first argument.
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_HERE:
| |
| − | Anything `here', i.e. in object or around it (same as IN_ME + SURRO)
| |
| − | | |
| − | FIND_UNIT_GLOBAL:
| |
| − | ANYTHING, starting close to object and working out.

| |
| − | unitptr findrndunit( u : unitptr, sv : integer, uf : integer)
| |
| − | Returns: A pointer to a random unit, or null
| |
| − | u : The unit pointer which the search is relative to.
| |
| − | sv : The search-location, a value (not bit vector) of FIND_UNIT_XXX
| |
| − | uf : Bit vector. The unit flags which can match of UNIT_ST_XXX
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example: u := findrndunit(self, FIND_UNIT_ZONE, UNIT_ST_PC|UNIT_ST_NPC);
| |
| − | | |
| − | This routine returns a random unit. Notice how the 'uf' lets you
| |
| − | specify exactly what unit types to look for. The 'sv' is not a
| |
| − | bit vector, although FIND_UNIT_XXX is usually used as such. If
| |
| − | you need to search multiple environments, then call the routine
| |
| − | once for each.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Using FIND_UNIT_PAY or FIND_UNIT_NOPAY in this function will
| |
| − | pick a random player which in addition to being in the search
| |
| − | environment also is registered as valid payer (or not). Asking
| |
| − | for a room would yield a random room registered to be accessible
| |
| − | for paying players only (or not). Asking for objects would
| |
| − | return no unit (null).

| − | Example: findsymbolic("bread@midgaard")
| |
| − | | |
| − | This routine supplements findroom and findunit. It comes in handy,if it is
| |
| − | important to get a correct reference to a NPC in the world. If for example,
| |
| − | Mary needs to send a message to John the Lumberjack, then she should NOT
| |
| − | use the findunit() since it may locate a different John - even a player!
| |
| − | If she instead locates him using findsymbolic("john@haon_dor") she will be
| |
| − | certain that it is in fact her husband, and not the player John Dow from
| |
| − | Norway. It will NOT locate rooms, for the only reason that findroom is a
| |
| − | lot more efficient.
| |
| − | | |
| − | unitptr findsymbolic ( u : unitptr, s : string, i : integer )

| − | s : Symbolic name of the NPC or Object to find.
| |
| − | i : FIND_UNIT_XXX bit vector of places to search.
| |
| − | return: A pointer to an instance of the unit, or null.
| |
| − | Example: findsymbolic(self, "bread@midgaard", FIND_UNIT_INVEN)
| |
| − | | |
| − | This routine supplements findroom, findunit and findsymbolic(#). It comes in
| |
| − | handy, if it is important to get a correct reference to a unit somewhere
| |
| − | relative to 'u'. If for example, Mary needs to check if she has her own
| |
| − | cooking pot, then she should NOT use the findunit since it may locate a
| |
| − | different pot, not belonging to Haon-Dor but to some other zone. If she
| |
| − | instead locates it using findsymbolic(self, "pot@haon_dor", FIND_UNIT_IN_ME)
| |
| − | she would be certain that it is in fact her own cooking pot that she is
| |
| − | carrying around, and not some other pot from a Joe Blow's zone.

| |
| − | sThe string to be logged.
| |
| − | waWrite or Append
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 'flog' function allows you to split up your logs in the log directory
| |
| − | so that you don't end up with everything in the main vme.log.
| |
| − | Note:
| |
| − | The append/write argument must be in lower case and can only be a 'w' or a 'a'
| |
| − | surrounded by '"'. If the argument is a 'w' it will over write any log file

| − | Built-In Procedures:
| |
| − | DIL features some built-in procedures that allows you increased control over
| |
| − | in-game data structures and event handling. Once such procedure (used above)is
| |
| − | 'exec()'. The inline procedures are used as any other procedure by typing its
| |
| − | name, followed by a list of argument expression enclosed in parentheses. The
| |
| − | return types of the expressions used for built-in procedure calls are checked
| |
| − | by the compiler.
| |
| − | | |
| − | DIL also lets you call templates defined in the current or other zones. The
| |
| − | naming of templates follows the normal naming convention for zone, using the
| |
| − | 'name@zone' as a symbolic name for a procedure. Before being able to use
| |
| − | external procedures, you must define their name and type in a separate
| |
| − | 'external' section in the template. The declaration in the 'external' section
| |
| − | should match the original declaration of the referenced program. You can define
| |
| − | the number and type of arguments the template take, by listing them inside the
| |
| − | declaration parenthesis (as well as in the original declaration of that template)
| |
| − | (see example below)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin bar(s:string);
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | exec("say "+s,self);
| |
| − | return;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend
| |
| − | | |
| − | dilbegin foo();
| |
| − | external
| |
| − | someproc@hades1();
| |
| − | bar(s:string);
| |
| − | code
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | someproc@hades1();
| |
| − | bar("Hello "+activator.name);
| |
| − | pause;
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | dilend
| |
| − | | |
| − | When the procedure is called, the argument expressions are calculated, and
| |
| − | passed to the template. Built-in procedures, their arguments and function
| |
| − | are listed later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following are definitions and documentation for the built-in procedures
| |
| − | in DIL. The definitions are not definitions 'as such', but serve to distinguish
| |
| − | arguments in the documentation below.

| |
| − | follow( f : unitptr, m : unitptr )
| |
| − | f : The character to follow
| |
| − | m : The character to be followed
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unconditionally makes 'f' follow 'm', even if 'f' is mortally
| |
| − | wounded, sleeping, fighting or whatever.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | Function: flog (filename : string, s : string, wa : string );
| |
| − | | |
| − | filenameThe Filename of the file to appear in the log directory.
| |
| − | sThe string to be logged.
| |
| − | waWrite or Append
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 'flog' function allows you to split up your logs in the log directory
| |
| − | so that you don't end up with everything in the main vme.log.
| |
| − | Note:The append/write argument must be in lower case and can only be a
| |
| − | 'w' or a 'a' surrounded by '"'. If the argument is a 'w' it will over write
| |
| − | any log file by that name. If the argument is 'a' it will append to the
| |
| − | file by that name.
| |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª

| |
| − | | |
| − | Registers a crime committed against 'v' by 'c'. Use the
| |
| − | CRIME_XXX values from values.h and/or vme.h as the 't' argument.
| |
| − | The logcrime routine automatically registers group members
| |
| − | of the criminal, etc. In stuff like steal, remember to make
| |
| − | the criminal visible if he fails his attempts.

| |
| − | -100 would equal -$1.00.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Access only allowed with 'root' access and all transactions are
| |
| − | registered in the specially encrypted account log file. Use with
| |
| − | great caution, and always test thoroughly before using.
| |
| − | Use without prior permission may cause deletion of god / zone.

| |
| − | returna Stringlist with all the filenames that match the

| − | 'match' argument.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 'match' argument uses the same wild cards as the Linux 'ls' command
| |
| − | so the following will work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Match any character or group of characters

| |
| − | | |
| − | The 'store' and 'restore' are perfect for operations such as

| |
| − | keep inventory through a reboot. Even the ability to save a players inventory
| |
| − | while they fight in an arena and restore it to them undamaged when finished.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Disk access is always slow.

| − | The purpose of act is to send a message to a number of players present in
| |
| − | a room. The room is defined as the room containing the afore mentioned
| |

| |
| − | container.)

| |
| − | Syntax:
| |
| − | | |
| − | act(message, visibility, char, medium, victim, to_whom);
| |
| − | | |
| − | message
| |
| − | - is a string that will be shown to other mobiles when the act is executed.
| |
| − | To refer to the following arguments use the formatters listed below.
| |
| − | visibility
| |
| − | - is an integer that defines what happens if the mobile that is about to receive the
| |
| − | message can't see the activator.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A_SOMEONE
| |
| − | If the receiver cannot see char, replace any reference to char with
| |
| − | someone.
| |
| − | A_HIDEINV
| |
| − | If the receiver cannot see char, don't send the message at all. Use
| |
| − | this when missing vision should eliminate the perception of the action
| |
| − | the message represent. One instance where it is used is in smile. You
| |
| − | would need a ridiculously sensitive ear to hear, let alone percept
| |
| − | that someone's smiling if you can't see them. Do not use it if
| |
| − | 'sound' is inherent in the message.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A_ALWAYS
| |
| − | Works exactly like A_SOMEONE, except that the receiver
| |
| − | will see the message even when sleeping.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | char
| |
| − | - is a unitptr, and the most important argument in the act. If this
| |
| − | is not valid the act will never show, leaving mobiles without
| |
| − | the message.
| |
| − | medium
| |
| − | - is a unit pointer, an integer or a string. Use this at your
| |
| − | leasure.
| |
| − | victim
| |
| − | - is a unit pointer, an integer or a string. Certain flags in
| |
| − | the next argument rely on the validity of victim.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - is an integer that defines who gets the message.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | TO_ROOM
| |
| − | Sends the message to the entire room, excluding 'char'.
| |
| − | TO_VICT
| |
| − | Sends to 'victim' only. 'victim' must be valid, naturally.
| |
| − | TO_NOTVICT
| |
| − | Sends the message to the entire room, excluding 'char'
| |
| − | and 'victim'. Perfect for bystanders in a melee.
| |
| − | TO_CHAR
| |
| − | Sends the message to 'char' and no one else.
| |
| − | TO_ALL
| |
| − | Sends the message to everybody in the room.
| |
| − | TO_REST
| |
| − | This is a bit different from the rest. In sends the
| |
| − | message to all other units in the local environment,
| |
| − | excluding those inside 'char'.

| − | Act Formatters
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just as the description formatters, act has its own set of formatters that
| |
| − | enable you to create generic messages that will be interpreted at run-time,
| |
| − | lessening the load on you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The format string is a normal message, containing some special characters:
| |
| − | | |
| − | '$$'
| |
| − | will be sent to the receiver as a single `$'
| |
| − | '$', followed by a number and an extra character.
| |
| − | The numbers:
| |
| − | '1'
| |
| − | means this formatter refers to the 'char' argument.
| |
| − | '2'
| |
| − | means this formatter refers to the 'medium' argument.
| |
| − | '3'
| |
| − | means this formatter refers to the 'victim' argument.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The characters
| |
| − | 'N'
| |
| − | the formatter will be replaced with the name of the unit, or
| |
| − | (depending on the visibility)
| |
| − | 'something' or 'someone'.
| |
| − | 'a'
| |
| − | 'a' or 'an' depending on the name of the unit referred by the number.
| |
| − | 'e'
| |
| − | 'it', 'he' or 'she' depending on the gender of the unit referred
| |
| − | by the number.
| |
| − | 'm'
| |
| − | 'it', 'him' or 'her' depending on the gender of the unit referred by
| |
| − | the number.
| |
| − | 'n'
| |
| − | the formatter will be replaced with the title of the unit, or
| |
| − | (depending on the visibility) 'something' or 'someone'.
| |
| − | 'p'
| |
| − | 'fighting', 'standing', 'sleeping', etc., depending on the position
| |
| − | of the unit referred by the number.
| |
| − | 's'
| |
| − | 'its', 'his' or 'her' depending on the gender of the unit referred
| |
| − | by the number.
| |
| − | 't'
| |
| − | the string in the argument referred by the number.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | act("You step over $2n.", A_SOMEONE, self, litter, null, TO_CHAR);
| |
| − | act("$1n steps over $2n.", A_SOMEONE, self, litter, null, TO_REST);

| |
| − | exec ( s : string , u : unitptr )
| |
| − | s : Command and arguments to perform.
| |
| − | u : Unit to perform command.
| |
| − | result: Unit (PC/NPC) executes command. The argument is treated just as
| |
| − | if a normal PC entered a command at the command prompt in the
| |
| − | game. It is not directly possible to detect whether the command
| |
| − | was a success or fail. For example, you might force a PC to
| |
| − | "get key". If there is no 'key' available, the PC will get
| |
| − | notified the normal way. Plenty of examples are given above.

| − | i : Message class to accept, see SFB_* in values.h and/or vme.h
| |
| − | dilexp : Expression that has to be TRUE or not null to accept message.
| |
| − | result: Waits for a command, matching the flagset, and satisfies the
| |
| − | expression. When using the 'wait()' command, the first argument
| |
| − | is an integer, that tells what classes of messages to wait for.
| |
| − | Each message class is represented by a bit named as described in
| |
| − | the chapter on messages.
| |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | wait (SFB_TICK|SFB_MSG, TRUE)
| |
| − | /* Will accept a message, either from another DIL program or a
| |
| − | timer message. As the second argument is always TRUE, any
| |
| − | such message will reactivate the DIL program.
| |
| − | */
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | | |
| − | wait (SFB_CMD, command("transmutate"))
| |
| − | /* waits for an command entered named 'transmutate'.
| |
| − | Activates the DIL program, that then can block the command, or
| |
| − | let it pass (and then let the game produce the normal error
| |
| − | message for unknown commands).

| |
| − | waWrite or append
| |
| − | ReturnFILE_SAVED, FILE_NOT_SAVED, FILE_NOT_CREATED, or FILE_ILEGAL_OPP
| |
| − | | |
| − | Savestr is used to save strings to disk to be loaded later by the 'load' function.
| |
| − | The 'savestr' and 'Loadstr' is perfect for operations such as
| |
| − | on-line edited newspaper, a lottery where the tickets are sold to players,
| |
| − | creating smarter NPC's that can remember through reboots who they are hunting,
| |
| − | Dil based teachers, message boards, mail system, news command., zone or
| |
| − | room based help, competition boards, and much much more.
| |
| − | Note:The append/write argument must be in lower case and can only be a
| |
| − | 'w' or a 'a' surrounded by '"'. If the argument is a 'w' it will over write
| |
| − | any string file by that name. If the argument is 'a' it will append to the
| |
| − | file by that name.
| |
| − | Disk access is always slow.
| |
| − | If you use loadstr on a continuous basis always
| |
| − | attempt to keep file sizes to a minimum for quick loading. Otherwise you
| |

| − | integer on_activation ( dilexp , label )
| |
| − | dilexp : A boolean DIL expression.
| |
| − | label : Label to jump to - OR the reserved keyword SKIP.
| |
| − | returns : The index to the interrupt handing the on_activation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | result: Sets up an interrupt that is executed before every activation
| |
| − | of the DIL program. This is for example useful to catch
| |
| − | situations where your NPC has fallen asleep or is injured.
| |
| − | If 'dilexp' evaluates to TRUE then the program jumps to 'label'.
| |
| − | If 'label' is 'skip' then the program is simply not activated.
| |
| − | When the on_activation evaluates to true, and jumps to a label
| |
| − | other than skip, the condition is automatically cleared. If the
| |
| − | dilexp evaluates to false, or if the label is skip, the activation
| |
| − | remains active. Use the clear() to remove the on_activation.

| − | Example:
| |
| − | on_activation(self.position POSITION_SLEEPING, let_me_sleep);
