Hello, this page is for ADMINS, DMS, and fellow builders.
Currently, the only contribution I have is for the following ERF: https://nwn.sinfar.net/res_list.php?erf_id=988 - or, the Casino.
The Casino is meant to be a dual purpose gambling/arena, with opportunities for players to host events and stage auctions, and whatnot- by discussing with the owner and master of the area, Mebriewiel Relimion.
The Palace of Coins:
Each token roughly costs 1000gp.
Tickets can be redeemed for 250gp
The primary purpose of the casino isn't to reward money to the victors, but tickets, which they can cash in for valuable prizes. This is not a money farm, but a money sink, where people can go out and farm monsters and spend their money in the casino, hopefully socializing with others in the process.
The area is located in the Waterfront District of Sinfar City.
I will organize the assets by their purpose:
The Token Pouch
Main Script: cas_examineevent; cas_addtickettok cas_setticketvar; cas_settokenvar
Conversation: cas_tokentick
item: cas_slipholder
The script here triggers an examine_event on the item and updates the player on their current token/ticket totals. It also explains how the tickets are used and stuff. The token pouch is required for all games below to be played.
cas_addtickettok is an event_use script that when targeting the player, brings up thecas_tokentick conversation, where the player can create a "Note" that the player can use the token pouch on to 'redeem' the value of the note. The conversation uses cas_setticketvar and cas_settokenvar to assign the value of the note.
Entering the area
Main Script: cas_areaonenter, cas_areaonexit --
The script is no longer used, but I am keeping the explanation in case legacy shit comes up.
This script controls the various functions PCs have applied to them when they enter the casino.
Thus far it does one thing: Assigns the variable
NITAKETOKENS int 1, to the entering PC. This has it so players who enter the arena will always have only one token taken from them by the slot machines - in case they forgot they did something silly and set themselves to 100 tokens and forgot to change it before they leave. Notably, the Slot Machines will not take ANY tokens from the player if this variable isn't assigned to the player, so it is to avoid an exploit.
Currently sends a welcome message and logs the starting tickets/tokens, and logs the leaving number of tickets/tokens.
Secondary Scripts:
cas_entercasino, cas_exitcasino
These two scripts control access to the actual gambling portion of the casino. You are required to make a deposit of 100,000gp to play the games. It is returned with
cas_onexitarena. It will not let the player enter the area if they do not have sufficient coins. This was a mostly in character decision rather than an OOC necessary one and can be removed and the area modified (blame arockravensbeak).
Deprecated. Entry fee was removed.
Buying Tokens
Players purchase tokens from the help desk NPC. The choices are set via dialog.
Scripts required: cas_createtoken1, cas_createtoken5, cas_createtoke10, cas_createtoke25, cas_creattoken50, cas_creattok100, cas_creatok1000
These scripts assign the number of tokens the player has on the cas_casinohandle item in their inventory (tagged I_CAS_CASINOHANDLER- Named TOKEN POUCH).
Dialog: cas_helpdesk
Handles generic variables and token purchasing.
NPC: cas_helpdeskguy
REWARDS: (TO BE DISCUSSED FURTHER WITH ADMIN TEAM, numbers are NOT finalized)
Rewards are handled by the following scripts:
SCRIPTS: cas_rewardtiers; cas_reagentbags; cas_potofgreed; cas_spinthebottl; cas_grapple; cas_doll
2da Table: cas_reagents
cas_rewardtiers- used in the copying and replicating of items from tier 1, 3, 4, and potentially tier 5 chests. Set on the ondisturb event.
1a. The variables are iCopyMe int 1 to tell the script the item is copyable. iCostTickets int <VALUE> tells the script how much to deduct from the Casino Handler in terms of tickets.
1b. cas_reagentbags, same as cas_rewardstiers, but uses a 2da table called cas_reagents to know what item to spawn, and how many.
2. cas_potofgreed; script that randomly decides on a 1d20 if a player 'won' or not, then picks a list of rewards hardcoded into the script.
3. cas_spinthebottl, grabs the nearby players, stores them in an array, picks one at random. Can be dropped/picked up using the Transportable Placeables System.
4. cas_grapple, shouldn't work in jumper-forbidden areas now. Grabs a player who has the tagged item "I_AM_PREY" equipped, and grabs/drags them to player.
5. cas_doll, using the sStringMessage variable, when used, causes it to speak what was used.
Tier 1: (20-1000tickets)
Plushie Dolls
Examples:
Loraza Doll, Natalya Doll, Circe Doll, etc... (thinking about 25 of these, easily added as well).
Glitter Bomb: Spawns a placeable that has a temp duration for pixie dust of about 5minutes. If used on a player, also applies the pixie dust vfx to them for about ten minutes. (cannot spawn in areas where hostile mobs can appear). Could also use the mass blindness vfx.
Paint bombs: Throw them in a crowd to apply random vfx_dur_aura vfx in various colors. Last about 18 seconds.
Target Rings for the cas_grapple. (basically gives it permission to fire at the player when equipped on the ring slot).

Games At The Casino
SLOT MACHINES
Main Script: cas_slotmachine
Odds are set to roughly 1/10000 to hit 666.
Secondary Scripts: cas_slottoken1, cas_slottoken10, cas_slottoken25, cas_slottoken50, cas_slottoken100
These scripts are set by the Help Desk NPC found on either side of the casino. They control how many tokens a player uses per pull at the slot machine.
Placeables: cas_yellow, cas_red, cas_purple, cas_orange, cas_green, cas_blue
These placeables are used in cas_slotmachine to make a placeable fire appear above the slot machine as a visual representation of the numbers.
Dialog: cas_helpdesk - the dialog here contains the method by which the secondary scripts are assigned to the player.
NPC: cas_helpdeskguy - NPC with the dialog on him.
BLACKJACK
Main Scripts: cas_dealer_spawn, cas_dealer_ud, cas_deal_liston
These two scripts are critical to the game functioning. The cas_dealer_spawn handles the OnSpawn functions of the game, assigning the ListenPatterns required for cas_dealer_ud to work. The latter script handles the bulk of the functions and how the game works.
cas_deal_liston initializes the game, and makes it so the NPC is ready to hear out players so he isn't constantly listening for PCs.
Players can assign how much they wish to bet. Generally, payout is 1.5x per token bet. So if a player bets 1 token, it's bumped up to 2, and if a player bets 5 tokens, they are rewarded 7. If they bet 10 tokens, they are rewarded 15 tickets.
The game uses listener functions so wonky behavior can occur.
Secondary Scripts: cas_bjnumplay1 (1-4), cas_bj_wager1 (1, 5, 10, 50), cas_bj_playtest (2, 3), cas_bj_giverules, cas_dealer_sit,
cas_bjnumplaycontrols the number of players permitted to join the game. (max 4)cas_bj_wager1-100 controls how many tokens are bet on each round of blackjack.cas_bj_playtesthandles various states of the gamecas_bj_giveruleshands the player how the game is played.cas_dealer_sittells the dealer to sit in his god damn chair.
Conversation: cas_blackjack - handles setting player number, wager amounts, rulebook giving.
NPC: cas_blackjackdea - handles the game overall.
WHEEL OF FIRE
Main Scripts: cas_wheeloffire, cas_wheelreward
This script handles the overall function of the game. Essentially, it creates a VFX circle that is applied to the ground in a spherical shape along the diameter and rotates swiftly at first then slows down, landing on a number and applying a unique effect to handle the winning number. it then executes the script, cas_wheelreward. It then deletes the variables on the player so they can bet on new numbers and how much they wish to bet. There is a 30 second cool down before the wheel can spin again.
cas_wheelreward: handles the functions for rewarding the tickets. Basically it rewards 4x the number of tokens you bet, as the odds are 1/12 (about 8.4% odds of winning).
Secondary Scripts: cas_wheelbetamou, cas_wheelbet
These scripts handle assigning the variables onto the player, whether they have an existing bet (if relevant) and what number to bet on.
NPC: cas_rouletteguy
Recycled asset from when I tried to make roulette, he explains how the game is played.
Conversation: cas_wheeloffire
Explains how the game is played.
THE MONSTER ARENA
Main Scripts: cas_arenastart, cas_arenaper, cas_arenaospawn, cas_arenadeathr, cas_arenadeathb, cas_arenaonclick
cas_arenastartspawns the monsters and controls theSetIsTemporaryEnemy()function, and tells them to attack each other have a delay. Additional functionality may be added to randomize appearance and weapons.cas_arenaper- deprecated, can be removed probably. Not removing because it isn't doing any harm, really.cas_arenadeathb, cas_arenadeathr- checks for the variableI_BET_ON_RED,I_BET_ON_BLACK, and handles reward functions, despawning the corpse, and deleting the surviving monster from the bout. Deletes variables on surrounding players if the BET functions are found.cas_arenaonclick- prevents bets during a monster bout. Assigns variable and deducts tokens from player who is placing bet. Controls how many tokens are being bet withBET_AMOUNTas a local variable. This is an OnClick Event.cas_ondamaged- Deletes all tokens on the PC and tickets. Kills them with flashy vfx lightning.
I intend for the reward to be 1:3x- one token = 3 tickets. You win tickets if the creature you bet on won the match.
Secondary Scripts: cas_arenadestroy, cas_arenadespawn, cas_arenadialogu, cas_onexitarena, cas_onenterarena, cas_shrineheal
cas_arenadestroy- in case monsters persist in the arena, use this script to destroy the NPCs spawned bycas_arenastart. Called by the conversation:cas_arenacas_arenadespawncalled on theOnCombatEnd- can probably just be removed.cas_arenadialogucalled on the OnUsed event of the placeable called 'arena handler' in the area.cas_onenterarena/cas_onexitarena- These apply and remove the iAmInArena variable to prevent players from starting a monster bout if PCs are in the arena dueling.cas_shrinehealShrine in the arena that heals combatants after a bout.

Miscellaneous Amenities
Suites
Main Scripts: cas_bedroomcharg, cas_finalspeaker, cas_mebsolporncas_deletevariab, cas_assignvariab, cas_destroyproje, cas_proj_cv_opti
cas_bedroomchargCharges customers for use of the suite. Each suite will have a projector panel to spawn a recorded sex show from a library of options available in the dialogcas_projectoropt. 5000 gold for each amenity. Placed on a chain's OnUsed event.cas_finalspeakeris the final version (for now) of the code that handles 'recorded projections'. It will spawn two or more NPCs based on their ResRef, and based on a variable on the creatures spawned, assign spoken text at a 45 second interval in incremental order based on variables based on the placeable the script is attached to. Basically, it generates the text logs of people's intimate roleplay, or stories for more benign reasons. 2a. Variables needed: P_SPEAKS_(Letter) int 1: The (LETTER) Is replaced with a char, so P_SPEAKS_A, P_SPEAKS_C etc, this tells the script who speaks the string. Generally speaking, it's the first letter of the character's name. This is assigned to the NPC 2b. P_TITLESTRING int 1- this is assigned to the NPC who speaks the title string on the placeable. 2c. P_1B66_SPAWN_NPC1 - spawns the first npc, P_1B66_SPAWN_NPC spawns the second NPC. Assign to placeable 2d. P_CHARSPEAK(LETTER) tells the script to check. So P_CHARSPEAKM tells the placeable to assign the string to P_SPEAKS_M. Assign to placeable. 2e. P_1B66_STITLE is a string variable. P_1B66_STITLE string "The title of this recording is: "A cookie triumph""- Spoken first by the system- assign to placeable. 2f. P_1b66_STEXT1-P_1b66_STEXTXXX: These variables determine the order the dialogue is spoken at 45 second intervals.cas_mebsolporn- earlier, prototype version ofcas_finalspeaker, will soon be deprecated and removed.cas_assignvariab/cas_deletevariab: assigns a variable that thecas_bedroomchargchecks for to prevent the door unlocking if people are currently inside. Assigned on a trigger. Also used in the baths and meeting room.cas_destroyprojec- deletes the projector and the creatures it spawned.
Conversations: cas_projectoropt - select which show you want to watch.
The suites room of the casino and its scripts function much the same as the bath/meeting roomscripts. It checks for 5k, if found, takes the gold, and unlocks the door. the cas_deletevariab/assignvariab handle if people are allowed inside or not based if someone is already inside. There is a lock/unlock door button inside to open the areas door.
Inside is a placeable with the script cas_proj_cv_opti that calls the conversation cas_projectoropt that lets them select which show to spawn and watch.
Baths

The meeting room of the casino and its scripts function much the same as the bath/suite scripts. It checks for 5k, if found, takes the gold, and unlocks the door. the cas_deletevariab/assignvariab handle if people are allowed inside or not based if someone is already inside. There is a lock/unlock door button inside to open the areas door.
