'''Work in Progress!'''

'''I would suggest before proceeding that you read [[How to Make a Quest]] for a general breakdown of scripting to familiarize yourself with the basics'''

This guide is a look into some of the more advanced and uncommon elements of scripting. Here you will find help with how to use all of the currently available functions, as well as how to combine functions for useful (and often interesting!) results.

== Function Breakdown ==
A reference of all of the luautils functions available for use in scripting at the time of this writing. Additional "convenience" functions created in global scripts will not be covered here, and should be explored at your leisure. Basic familiarity with LUA syntax is assumed. For further information, you can reference [http://code.google.com/p/onetimexi/source/browse/trunk/src/map/lua/luautils.cpp src/map/lua/luautils.cpp] and its accompanying header file.

=== Getting Entity References ===
==== GetNPCByID ====
Requires you to look up an NPC's ID and returns a reference that can be used to manipulate that NPC. How to use this will be covered more in the next section.

==== GetMobByID ====
Similar to the above, except it is used for Mobs. Will also be covered more in the next section.

==== GetPlayerByName ====
Mainly useful for GM commands, it returns a reference for a player that can be manipulated with additional functions. Names given to it are case-sensitive, so the first letter must be capitalized with the remaining lower-case.

=== Getting Information About the World ===
==== GetRegionOwner ====
Retrieves a numerical value for the country that owns the region. These numerical values can be referenced with the aliases SANDORIA BASTOK WINDURST BEASTMEN or OTHER defined in scripts/globals/conquest.lua

==== VanadielTOTD ====
Returns the Time of the Day as a number. The values to reference are stored in src/map/vana_time.h and should be put into a global script if you plan to use this.

==== VanadielHour ====
Returns the current hour in the game-world. There are 24 hours in a day.

==== VanadielMinute ====
Returns the current minute in the game-world. There are 60 minutes in an hour.

==== VanadielDayOfTheYear ====
Returns the current day of the year (similar to a Julian calendar) in the game-world. There are 12 months or 360 days in a Year.

==== VanadielDayOfTheMonth ====
Returns the current day of the month (as on a typical calendar) in the game-world. There are 30 days in a month.

==== VanadielDayElement ====
Returns the current day of the week in the game world. There are 8 days in a week. Aliases for the return values can be found in scripts/globals/magic.lua

==== GetServerVariable ====
Retrieve a variable that affects the entire game world, rather than a specific character.

=== Getting Information About an Entity ===
==== GetMobAction ====
Returns the current action of a mob entity as a number. This is usually checked against zero to see if a mob is currently taking no special action (general wandering).

=== Manipulating the World ===
==== SetVanadielTimeOffset ====
Changes the offset from the universal Vana'Diel time. This should ONLY be used for testing, as there is a configuration option for the map server should you wish to offset your server permanently.

==== RunElevator ====
Starts a specific elevator in the game world. Unfortunately, there is no reference to assist you with this.

==== SetServerVariable ====
Sets a variable that affects the entire game world, rather than a specific character.

=== Manipulating an Entity ===
==== SpawnMob ====
Used to create an instance of a specific mob in the game world. It cannot be used to spawn an arbitrary monster at a particular location. It can only produce mobs that are defined in the mob_spawn_points table.

==== DespawnMob ====
Opposite of above. You should not attempt to use this on any sort of timer.

=== Miscellaneous ===
==== SendUncnown0x39Packet ====
This is basically a method that is only used to propel characters up the cliff in the geyser spots at Dangruf Wadi.

==== BitwiseAnd ====
Simply an abstraction of the C method for Bitwise AND

== Advanced Scripting Techniques ==

== Official DarkStar Play Server ==
This is Whasf's server, the only official play server.

=== IP Address ===
46.38.63.32

'''This has been recently changed. The old IP will no longer work.'''

=== Additional Information ===
Use http://46.38.63.32/roster.php to see who is online.

Auction House is populated regularly with items for 100 gil.

You start with 4 million gil

Character speed 1.5x

All classes start at level 1

Experience rate is 1.89x

When you create a character, you'll hang at "downloading data".. Disconnect and wait 45 seconds and login again. It could take up to three tries to log in in successfully with a new character.

== Silverwolf's Server ==

=== IP Address ===
131.191.104.77

=== Additional Information ===
Auction House is populated

You start with 4 million gil

Character speed 1.5x

Experience rate is 4x

Decent balance, more of that retail feel....

Range Attack does some damage but no skill up yet.

== Borfax's Test Server ==

=== IP Address ===
Requires Hamachi to be running and connected to DarkStarFFXI

Hamachi network password is dsf

IP: 5.239.15.57

=== Additional Information ===

Jobs start at level 30, but will probably be adjusted randomly, depending on testing.

== FFXI Unlimited Private Server ==

=== IP Address ===

=== Additional Information ===
Play on this server is highly discouraged. They accept donations for the efforts of others and are accused of not sharing bug reports with the main project, which, in turn, slows down development. Please support the official project!

You can always look at the list of [[Special:WantedPages]] and see if you can clear some of those out by filling in the information

Reference tables (any table that might need to be referenced often)

Source Code documentation (mainly public function documentation and how to communicate between lua scripts and the server)

Checklists for things that are and are not implemented (Eventually I would like to create goal pages that use these checklists, so if you can categorize things in a logical manner, that would be very helpful)

Anything else you can think of that might be helpful for either casual users or developers interested in Dark Star Project.
