Subject: AFK Code

Almost a year ago, I posted some AFK code. It worked, but it was kind of
bad. So I decided to redo it. This is the new version.

   FEATURES:

* Allows you to set an afk message.

* Allows a message to be displayed to whoever is telling to you

  that you are afk, and what that message is.

* Displays to the room your message when you are afk, and informs

  everyone in the room when you are back from AFK.


#define PRF_AFK         (1 << ##)       /* Player is AFK */
   where ## is whatever is next on your PRF listing.

In char_player_data, add:
   char *afk_message;  /* PC / NPC's AFK MESSAGE                */

In char_file_u, add:
   char afk_message[POOF_LENGTH + 1];


------------------------ NOTE: THIS WILL CORRUPT YOUR PFILE! ---------------
With the function prototypes at the top of utils.h, add:
void    set_afk(struct char_data *ch, char *afk_message, int result);

 with the POOFIN(ch) defines, put
#define AFK_DEFAULT     "I am afk, not looking at keyboard"

#define GET_AFK(ch)     ((ch)->player.afk_message)

If you want it to save in pfile, you will need to modify the character
saving/loading functions in db.c


In limits.c, add:


void set_afk(struct char_data * ch, char *afk_message, int result)
{
  if (!*afk_message)
    sprintf(buf1, "%s", AFK_DEFAULT);
  else
    sprintf(buf1, "%s", afk_message);

  if (strlen(buf1) > POOF_LENGTH) {
    send_to_char("Afk message too long, using default.\r\n", ch);
    sprintf(buf1, "%s", AFK_DEFAULT);
  }

  if (GET_AFK(ch))
    free(GET_AFK(ch));
  GET_AFK(ch) = NULL;
  GET_AFK(ch) = str_dup(buf1);

  if (result) {
    sprintf(buf, "$n has just gone AFK: %s", GET_AFK(ch));
    act(buf, FALSE, ch, 0, 0, TO_ROOM);
    sprintf(buf, "You have just gone AFK: %s", GET_AFK(ch));
    act(buf, FALSE< ch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
  } else {
    act("$n is back from AFK!", FALSE, ch, 0, 0, TO_ROOM);
    act("You are back from AFK!", FALSE, ch, 0, 0, TO_CHAR);
  }
}


In act.other.c, put this:

ACMD(do_afk)
{
  int result;

  if (IS_NPC(ch)) {
    send_to_char("Mobs don't have keyboards, go away.\r\n", ch);
    return;
  }

  skip_spaces(&argument);

  if (PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_AFK)) {
    result = FALSE;
    REMOVE_BIT(PRF_FLAGS(ch), PRF_AFK);
  } else {
    result = TRUE;
    SET_BIT(PRF_FLAGS(ch), PRF_AFK);
  }
  set_afk(ch, argument, result);
}

In act.comm.c, in ACMD(do_tell)

after
  else if (PRF_FLAGGED(vict, PRF_NOTELL) || ROOM_FLAGGED(vict->in_room, ROOM_SO
UNDPROOF))
    act("$E can't hear you.", FALSE, ch, 0, vict, TO_CHAR | TO_SLEEP);

add:

  else {
  if (PRF_FLAGGED(vict, PRF_AFK)) {
        sprintf(buf, "%s is AFK and may not hear your tell.\r\n", GET_NAME(vict
));
        send_to_char(buf, ch);
        sprintf(buf, "MESSAGE: %s\r\n", GET_AFK(vict));
        send_to_char(buf, ch);

       }


In act.informative.c, in list_one_char, after:

  if (PLR_FLAGGED(i, PLR_WRITING))
    strcat(buf, " [COMPOSING]");  <---- I think it's (Composing) in stock Circl
e

add:

  if (PRF_FLAGGED(i, PRF_AFK))
    strcat(buf, " [AFK]");


In do_who after
      if (PRF_FLAGGED(tch, PRF_NOTELL))
        strcat(buf, " [NO-TELLS]");  <---- Think it is (No-Tell) in stock Circl
e

      if (PRF_FLAGGED(tch, PRF_AFK))
        strcat(buf, " [AFK]");


In comm.c, in make_prompt,


before:

    if (PRF_FLAGGED(d->character, PRF_DISPHP))
      sprintf(prompt, "%s%s<%dhp ", prompt,
                CBBLU(d->character,C_SPR),GET_HIT(d->character));

add:

    if (PRF_FLAGGED(d->character, PRF_AFK))
      sprintf(prompt, "%s%s[AFK]%s", prompt, CBCYN(d->character, C_SPR),
                CCNRM(d->character, C_SPR));
