Item: EggAvatar

[perplexed]

hi Feeble sorry I havent had a chance to look at this yet.

so what do I have to do, delete the old version of the item and delete the avatar/egged folder and start again with this new version?

thanks for all your good work

hey perplexed,

the new version, V2 , is sort of like a different item, so it wont overrite the other eggAvatar item

I did this mostly, as it stores the egged avatar in a different spot. also it works alot better as well.

[perplexed]

ok cool, thanks feeble.  I was going to say I'll try it at the weekend but I forgot we just had one lol  I will get to this sometime during the week now that Uni is finished   

[feeble]

quick update as this was a requested feature
Release R5, you will find download link in first post

After a successful egg, a PM is send to the victim, boasting about your good aim.

example msg

Ive egged your Avatar

You've been Egg'd by feeble

you can either turn this off by setting $enablePm to false or just keeping using R4

You can edit the msg at the bottom of the file look for $message and $subject

straight forward enough

hi feeble

sorry I didnt get a chance before now to try this new version out.  I just loaded it on a new forum I'm working on and it seems to be working well.

It seems to have solved the problem I had with people with a space in their names, I dont see any of the old probs I had with 'donothing' in IE either.

It is using the member's account name in the egging messages instead of their display name.  Is it ok to change this or will it cause any problems?

I assume I can just copy all my other egging image options straight into the new file?

Looking good

shouldnt be a problem at all

oh really? lol, umm i can update the item if you would like, or if you are right to, you should be able to make the small change yourself.

[perplexed]

Morning feeble

I had another look at the file and I see it is using the account name instead of display name in both the custom title 'you've been egged by...' and also in the text of the PM 'you've been egged by...'.

I'm not sure where to change it though...

in the PM :

Code: [Select]

// Who the IM will come from
$pmfrom = array(
'id' => $ID_MEMBER,
'name' => $context['user']['name'],
'username' => $context['user']['username']
so  I change username to realname?

and in the taunt I can't see what to change???    (although if I allow them to change the custom title message then they could change it themselves at the time)

[perplexed]

I have another question.

I wanted to have another item that does the same thing as the egging but with a different set of images.  So 'egging 1' would have images 1-5  and 'egging 2' would have images 6-10.  I had an idea for another bunch of images but I dont really want them in the same item just so people dont get confused.

What would I have to change in the egging file to make this a new item?  Is it enough to just change the name to 'egguserV2B.php' and change the items in it and the taunt etc or would I also have to change the directory so that it makes a new one eg /egged2 as I guess if I tried to install it as it, it would try and create another /egged directory... or not?

Any ideas?   I could maybe give you some of my snazzy new images in return

Ok your on the right track, change the filename to 'EggUserV2B.php' and change

Code: [Select]

class item_EggUserV2 extends itemTemplate {to

Code: [Select]

class item_EggUserV2B extends itemTemplate {
other then that, all you need to do this change $eggSelect


Also I wouldnt touch that $fromPM, thats correct how it is.
realName is actually stored in $context['user']['name']
They may of done this just to confuse people...anyways, ive made the changes for you

I have had a lot of fun with it on our forum - feel free to use it

How long do eggs last? Not permanent I hope, i'd have to uninstall it then.

[David]

If the egged person does nothing about it then the egging is permanent however the egged person can easily go back to their unegged image.so it's up to them.
