- New recording type PLAYER_RECORDING_TYPE_ALL for StartRecordingPlayerData. Previously if the player was on foot,
PLAYER_RECORDING_TYPE_ONFOOT

- ConnectMultipleNpcs - Connects multiple npcs from an hrec file produced by PutServerInRecordingMode
recdir 2
in server.cfg to save playback recordings tonpcscripts/recordings
. Userecdir 1
forrecordings
folder which is default. This configuration is not mandatory.
MINOR CHANGES

- addded max_npc in server.cfg. If supplied it limits no:of npcs in server. value can be 0 to 100. Additionally, -1 means any number of npcs. Note that this config is optional only.

Rec Files
The new version of rec files produced by npcclient04relxx will be v5(1005)
. However npcclient.exe is backward compatible with v4(1004). You can see the structure of new rec file here.
Plugin Commands
To make the plugin usable by non-squirrel scripters (sqmod,...), recording players, etc is possible through plugin commands. See the list here.
execArg usage in ConnectNPC
ConnectNPC("bot7","",false,"","","function OnNPCSpawn(){SendChat(\\\"I spawned.\\\")}")
Note that original function OnNPCSpawn(){SendChat("I spawned.")}
is an argument to npcclient.exe -e
when it calls the program. So "
must be escaped when passed to cmd, so the string must have one \
character for each backslash and double quote. Hence the final element will be \\\"
inside the string. The npc will send a chat message I spawned to server when spawned (each time).
The equivalent commandline version is:
npcclient -n bot7 -e "function OnNPCSpawn(){SendChat(\"I spawned\")}"
API Version
The API for developing plugins for npc which must be placed in npcscripts/plugins
folder, the new version is 1.6
RecEdit v2
See RecEdit program for editing rec file datas.
