Tutorial Adding an in-game highscores board

[tjrazor]

Before someone says something, I have posted this on some other forums under the name of tj007razor.

Purpose: To simply add in-game highscores to your server

Difficulty: 1 or 2, not hard.

Assumed Knowledge: copy + paste, ability to READ

Server Base: old cheezescape - should work on all

Classes Modified: client.java, server.java

Procedure

Step 1: First, we declare what we need in server.java
Open up server.java and directly underneath

public static final int cycleTime = 500;

put

    /*Highscores*/
    /*For more highscores to be recorded, change the #s in [] to the number you want kept, +1*/
    /*For example, if you want the top 20, put 21 in the [] ([21])*/
    public static int[] ranks = new int[11];
    public static String[] rankPpl = new String[11];

Step 2: Now we move into client.java
Open up client.java and underneath

public class client extends Player implements Runnable {

put

//In-game highscores
public int playerRank = 0;

public void resetRanks() {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        server.ranks[i] = 0;
        server.rankPpl[i] = "";
    }
}

public void highscores() {
    clearQuestInterface();
    sendQuest("@dbl@", 8144);  //Title
    sendQuest("@dre@~In-Game Top 10 Highscores~", 8145);
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // you also need to change this for it to display more, simply the number you want it to display, say 20 = for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
        if(server.ranks[i] > 0) {
            sendQuest("@bla@Rank "+(i+1)+": @red@"+server.rankPpl[i]+ "@bla@ - Total Lvl:@whi@ " +server.ranks[i], 8147+i);
        }
    }
    sendQuestSomething(8143);
    showInterface(8134);
    flushOutStream();
    resetRanks();
}
//end highscores

Step 3: Now for the process
Still in client.java, inside of

public boolean process() {        // is being called regularily every 500ms

and add

    //in-game highscores
    playerLevel[24] = totalz;
    
    for (int d = 0; d <= 10; d++) {
        if (totalz >= server.ranks[d]) {
            if (d == 0) {
                playerRank = d+1;
                server.ranks[d] = totalz;
                server.rankPpl[d] = playerName;
            }else if (d < 10){
                if (totalz < server.ranks[d-1]) {
                    playerRank = d+1;
                    server.ranks[d] = totalz;
                    server.rankPpl[d] = playerName;
                }
            }else{
                if (totalz < server.ranks[d-1]) {
                    playerRank = 0;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    //end highscores

Step 4: This is where we add how to access teh highscores.
I used a scoreboard object. You don't need to. Find

case 132:

, your object click packet, and in it put

//highscores
if(objectID == 3192)
{
highscores();
}

or, if you want a command, in with the rest of your commands add this:

    if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("highscores")) {
        highscores();
    }

Step 5: Now to add the object, again, if you don't want to use one, you don't need to.
Most servers I believe have this - find

public void NewObjects() {

and add

        //(coordX, coordY, objID, face, ??)
        AddGlobalObject(2604, 3160, 3192, -1, 10);//Scoreboard, change coords to fit your needs
        AddGlobalObject(2605, 3162, 3192, -2, 10);//Scoreboard, change coords to fit your needs

Save - Compile - and Bam! you have highscores.

Credits: 10% Bulby Strife for letting me use his idea 90% Me, tj007razor, for completely redoing it

Just if anyone needs it - you may need to declare

public int totalz = totalz = (getLevelForXP(playerXP[0]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[1]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[2]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[3]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[4]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[5]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[6]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[7]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[8]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[9]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[10]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[11]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[12]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[13]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[14]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[15]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[6]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[17]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[18]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[19]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[20]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[21]));

then in boolean process add

int oldtotal = totalz;
totalz = (getLevelForXP(playerXP[0]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[1]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[2]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[3]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[4]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[5]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[6]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[7]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[8]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[9]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[10]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[11]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[12]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[13]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[14]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[15]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[17]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[18]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[19]) + getLevelForXP(playerXP[20]) + getSummonLvlForXP(summonXP));
if(oldtotal != totalz)
sendFrame126("Total Lvl: "+totalz, 3984);

Some sources already have this, some don't.

**If you get errors post here!**

Hey, nice, i like this, i think that some figmentscape servers already have this, but if they dont its a nice addition, thanks for sharing with us from rune-server

[tjrazor]

If figmentscape has it then they used my tutorial because I posted this same tutorial on rune-server back in January and I coded it myself.
