Other question: Ids_name To "Friendly Name"

@M0tah:

@Nieckey:

and M0tah, do you mind me add your code to my flhook? i will credit you ;D

Of course. I do say in the readme that

You may use it for
whatever purpose you wish. If you use it in one of your projects, I would
appreciate being mentioned somewhere.

Though if you’re just making a plugin it would make more sense to just use the flak_common plugin in its compiled form. All you have to do is include the FlakCommonExports.h file and put FlakCommon.lib in your linker dependency.

@Nieckey:

Information i need to get: Player Name, Player Rank, Player Cash, Player Online Time Count, Last Base, Last System, Ship.

To get the friendly name of the ship you’ll need to get the updated Archetype::Ship struct that includes iIDSName. Then you can get the ids_name of the ship like this:

uint iShipID;
pub::Player::GetShipID(iClientID, iShipID);
Archetype::Ship *ship = Archetype::GetShip(iShipID);
if(ship->iIDSName)
{
	wstring wscShip = stows(HkGetStringFromIDS(ship->iIDSName));
	//do stuff with name here
}
```To get the last system you'll have to keep track of it yourself, as I don't think FLServer does. Then you can get the IDS from **pub::System::GetName(uint iSystemID, uint iNameIDS)**.

Also, a note on the HkGetStringFromIDS function. As you can see, it returns a string. However, you'd expect it to return a wstring instead because the data in stringtables is stored in unicode. This is because the CResString class that reads data from stringtables in DLLs (which I made modifications to and which HKGetStringFromIDS uses) internally converts the wide chars to regular chars. This means that any special characters in the strings will be lost. This will be fixed in the next version of flak_common. Thanks to JONG for reporting this bug.

I see that problem about losting string, and other new problem is, then i include FlakCommon plugin in my DLL (or just install it as a plugin) , FLServer will crash at start……

Hi M0tah, Where i can find the “Mod Name” field? i only get this when i start flserver…

and, i have some encoded Freelancer ini file, but im not remeber i hacked the Freelancer.ini

so that is a strange problem….

PS, im try to copy your code to my plugin for geting string form dll by ids number, but compiler output some warning like C4267 C4018 C4311 C4312 in resstring.cpp, how to reslove it?

a simply idea for load DLL string:

i checked the ids number with FL-IDS, and i found this:

First DLL’s IDS Number limlited: 0 - 65535;
Second: 65536(= 65535 + 1) - 131071(= 65536 + 65535);
Third: 131072(131071 + 1) - 196607(= 131072 + 65535);

so, if a IDS_Name is 196932, it must in Third DLL (196932 / 65536 = 3.00494384765625 ignore all float), and String_ID is 196932 - (65536*3) = 324 ;D

my friend Euyis helps me completed the loading string module change from CResString, and it can also load “glyph” like Chinese, Japanese etc ;D

Thanks All guys reply my topic and help me!

@JONG:

You mean that you was fix the CResString ?

Do you mind to share your fix code ?

yep, i think it is, but i have not testing full yet. and please waiting im done my plug in OK?

PS. Im feeling strange to talking you with english, PM me on our web site all right? ;D

Yeah, the fix worked, but Euyis helps me to this by other way, ;D

and M0tah, im still trying to load system name and player rank, thanks for reply me on 88flak forum, but i can’t load that two thing successfuly, im not found GetRank or GetName in my SDK or FLHook also in FlakCommon plugin(without a “Class call” named “pub::Reputation::GetName(iPlayerRep, fsOut1, fsOut2);”, but it be /**/ed….)…, so that so strange…

@JONG:

Thanks M0tah, now I can fix it myself.

@Nieckey:

Why you don’t share your “other way” before the M0tah fix ?

This issue let me disable some function in flhook.

You know that, I will kill you ASAP. ;D

Sorry but im busy to do building a classified project so i have not any free time for clean up my code. ;D

@JONG:

@Nieckey:

Yes I know that, share or not, that’s up to you.

@M0tah:

Seem like some issue, please look this picture:

You can find it have a “=” in those Chines word, how to fix it ?

Hehe, you need to clear one thing first, i don’t says “Im not share” ;D

Actually, i must share this moded module because other people helps me. but i need to clean code first to take the code out from my project that need take time but im working on other thing. so i need time ;D

And, i shared my idea here, take a look my post on page 1, i just make the idea come true and get success ;D

In chinese, have one way to make people to tell you he’s secret, called “taunts”.

JONG you want to use the “taunts” to me? ok here it is:

When i see the CResString code in FlakComm plugin, im go pass out……because… i dont understand the code, almost all… so i planing to make a new one to help me to load resstring. but one problem is: im so n00b…i dont know how to load Freelancer.ini (un standed ini file)… so i do this:

Add

string CResString::GetCurrentFileName()
{
	return this->scAppPath; //lol, CResString get the path for me, i knon i can do this with others like list <inisectionvalue>lstValues, but i don't know how..... 
}</inisectionvalue> 

Add

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Get DLL Filename by IDS Number
string GetResDLLFileName(uint iIDS) //Only works for names
{
	char szCurDir[MAX_PATH];
	GetCurrentDirectory(sizeof(szCurDir), szCurDir);

	if(!iIDS)
		return "";

	if (iIDS < 65536) {
		return string(szCurDir) + "\\resources.dll";
	} else {
		uint iDLL = iIDS / 0x10000;
		iIDS -= iDLL * 0x10000;
		/*if(vDLLs[iDLL-1].GetStringBlock((iIDS / 16) + 1, 0) != 1000)
			return "";
		return vDLLs[iDLL-1].GetString(iIDS - ((iIDS / 16) * 16));
		*/	
		return vDLLs[iDLL-1].GetCurrentFileName(); 
	}
}

//Get really String ID in DLL File for load ResString.
uint GetResIDByIDS(uint iIDS) //Only works for names
{
	uint iResStringID;

	if (iIDS < 65536){
		return iIDS;
	} else { //This is why i says i need long time to test
		iResStringID = iIDS / 65536;
		iResStringID = iIDS - 65536 * uint(iResStringID); //turn to integer, needn't float.
		return iResStringID;
	}
}

//Send Get res to blablabla
wstring GetIDSName(uint iIDS)
{
	return LoadResFromDLL(GetResDLLFileName(iIDS), GetResIDByIDS(iIDS));
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Add

//Very simply API to load String
wstring LoadResFromDLL(string sFileName, int iStringID) 
{
	HINSTANCE hDllString; 
	char DllString[600];

	hDllString = LoadLibraryEx(sFileName.c_str(), NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE); //
	LoadString(hDllString, iStringID, DllString, 600); //

	FreeLibrary(hDllString); //
	return stows(ctos(DllString));
}

i known, i “solved” this problem by a “fool’s way”……but it worked…

and M0tah, please help me to load Rank and SystemName, im trying long time and can’t make it work… Thanks…
