Help Help With Community Board

[cronol]

Greetings colleagues, I have decided to start the adventure of creating an L2 server. I'm doing fine but I've come to a problem that I don't know how to solve. It is related to the Community board, I have taken one that is in the forum but I cannot install it. From what I've been researching and it's not enough to have the HTML and the client file. You have to modify the java files... I have come to the conclusion that I have to modify something in this route game\data\scripts\handlers\communityboard

 

I dont want codes only a simple guide how to do it. IF someone can help me. Thanks you

All I see is picture of some HTML's and the header of homeboard.java.. the rest I have to assume is that you want to get those HTML's and whatever they are holding, into your Community Board. This isn't StackOverflow, even if you ask straight about certain problem, you still may not get your answer - let alone not giving out any clues.

Sorry if I haven't explained myself well.
For example I have downloaded the files from the L2 Essence community board. They have the html of the community board and the .utx with the textures for the client.
Now my question is how do I import the html. copying and pasting into the html folder doesn't work... from what I've researched you need to edit the files and add the offsets and the java side
My question is exactly what .java do I have to modify.

A community board (and any other npc related actions) are consisted of 2 parts: 1) Html files, which basically contain the design and layout of the elements inside your community board and 2) The logic, which is inside the .java files you mentioned.

 

By default, when you open the community board it loads the home page. In order to change this to your custom community board, you need to modify RequestBypassToServer.java and RequestShowBoard.java. However, depending on the files you use (I guess you use l2j?) the modifications you need to do may differ. Usually, when you find a shared feature in here there is a tutorial on how to install it.

 

In order to help you further, you need to provide the link to the community board you want to install, as well as tell us which pack you are using so we can have a look inside.

If you are trying to open a server publicly, I suggest you either pay a developer to do all these things for you because they usually know what they're doing and adding a shared community board should be done in like 1-2 minutes, or you can start studying java yourself and try to understand the methods l2j packs use and how it all works together, which would take a lot of time. If you just want to install the community board, we can help you for sure, but say for example you want to add something else in the community board; things are not so easy then and people won't give you ready codes for free.

Ok, i have for example files from this 

I have copied the html in the path game\data\html\CommunityBoard and systextures on the client

 

I don't want to modify anything just deploy it as it is on my server.

I don't have either of these 2 files in script folder RequestBypassToServer.java and RequestShowBoard.java

The community board you're trying to add is basically just the design. The logic needs to be coded/added from scratch.

 

Basically even if you manage to add this community board to show properly when you press alt+b, nothing will work on it. Just buttons you can't press, cause there's no logic.

 

Choose another community board with logic already implemented.

Alright, you are making an effort which is a great start, however you are not paying attention to the lines you are adding, nor the ones I've marked above.

I would strongly advise you to do your work inside any IDE (not a Notepad++). Otherwise you have no live code analyzer to point you where you messed up.

First stage is displaying your HTML, which in your case is issued with:

String html = HtmlCache.getInstance().getHtm(activeChar.getHtmlPrefix(), "data/html/CommunityBoard/home.html");
CommunityBoardHandler.separateAndSend(html, activeChar);

Your new bypass is *_bbcustom* <- there's no semi-colon and it is used for other purposes, yours is straight bypass command so stick to that. You are also not keeping the structure of the code by missing start/end of your code scope "{ }"

 

Get an IDE for the structure and try and read the lines, otherwise you ain't getting anywhere.

Ok, now i dont have any error on homeboard.java but is not working... when i press button to main

HOMEBOARD.JAVA

 

On home.html i have this coded

 

<tr><td align="left"><button value="Main" action="bypass _testpage1;" width=200 height=31 back="L2UI_CT1.OlympiadWnd_DF_Info_Down" fore="L2UI_CT1.OlympiadWnd_DF_Info"></td></tr>

home.html

 

equals -> startswith/contains

bypass _testpage1;

ok but like if you want to redirect your page from home to custom/index then you can change what is already there under bbshome....

I don't know what to do... I'm a bit stuck. When compiling the code it doesn't give me problems but it doesn't work either

 

public final class HomeBoard implements IParseBoardHandler {
	// SQL Queries
	private static final String COUNT_FAVORITES = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS favorites FROM `bbs_favorites` WHERE `playerId`=?";
	
	private static final String[] COMMANDS = {
		"_bbshome",
		"_bbstop",
        "_testpage1"
	};
	
	@Override
	public String[] getCommunityBoardCommands() {
		return COMMANDS;
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean parseCommunityBoardCommand(String command, L2PcInstance activeChar) {
		if (command.equals("_bbshome") || command.equals("_bbstop")) {
			CommunityBoardHandler.getInstance().addBypass(activeChar, "Home", command);
			
			String html = HtmCache.getInstance().getHtm(activeChar.getHtmlPrefix(), "data/html/CommunityBoard/home.html");
                        
			html = html.replaceAll("%fav_count%", Integer.toString(getFavoriteCount(activeChar)));
			html = html.replaceAll("%region_count%", Integer.toString(getRegionCount(activeChar)));
			html = html.replaceAll("%clan_count%", Integer.toString(ClanTable.getInstance().getClanCount()));
			CommunityBoardHandler.separateAndSend(html, activeChar);
                        
		}
                if (command.contains ("_testpage1")) {
			CommunityBoardHandler.getInstance().addBypass(activeChar, "testpage1", command);
			
                    String testpage1 = HtmCache.getInstance().getHtm(activeChar.getHtmlPrefix(), "data/html/CommunityBoard/custom/index.html");
                    
                }
                
                else if (command.startsWith("_bbstop;")) {
			final String path = command.replace("_bbstop;", "");
			if ((path.length() > 0) && path.endsWith(".html")) {
				final String html = HtmCache.getInstance().getHtm(activeChar.getHtmlPrefix(), "data/html/CommunityBoard/" + path);
				CommunityBoardHandler.separateAndSend(html, activeChar);
			}
		}
                return true;
	}

The errors are showing if your syntax is incorrect and if you are issuing wrong commands with missing elements etc, the list is limitless.

 

As I have told you in the previous post, try to read the lines and get the idea behind them. You have the starting point of getting it done, that's great but there's literally no function in your code that gets it running.

 

CommunityBoardHandler.separateAndSend(html, activeChar);

 

^ there's a hint...

PS: also look at your html side, you are still adding the semi-colon...

action="bypass _testpage1;"
