MSDP Inventory was created by WhiskyTest
This snippet is so players can have their inventory items send as MSDP data for use in Graphical User Interfaces.
I'm just learning as I go with MSDP stuff so if you have any improvements don't be shy.


In protocol.h
around line 99 with all the eMSDP entries (order is important)
Code:
eMSDP_AFFECTS, + eMSDP_INVENTORY, eMSDP_ALIGNMENT,

In protocol.c
Code:
static variable_bane_t VariableNameTable[eMSDP_MAX+1] = { . . . {eMSDP_AFFECTS, "AFFECTS", STRING_READ_ONLY}, + {eMSDP_INVENTROY, "INVENTORY", STRING_READ_ONLY },

In comm.c

static void msdp_update( void )
Code:
+char buf2[MAX_STRING_LENGTH]; +int found = 0; +struct obj_data *obj, *next_obj;

In the same function, add somewhere below MSDPSetSting(d, eMSDP_CLASS, buf);
Code:
+ /* Inventory */ + buf[0] = '\0'; + for (obj = ch->carrying; obj; obj = next_obj) { + next_obj = obj->next_content; + found = 1; + snprintf(buf2, sizeof(buf2), "%s%s", obj->short_description, next_obj ? "," : ""); + strcat(buf, buf2); + } + if (!found) + snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Nothing"); + + MSDPSetString( d, eMSDP_INVENTORY, buf);

The inventory items are sent as a string separated with commas.
Eg: msdp.INVENTORY = "a cookie,the newbie guidebook,Rumble's nigthgown"
If the inventory is empty you receive msdp.INVENTORY = "Nothing"

When processing this on your client (I use Mudlet) you trigger off msdp.INVENTORY and read the string into a table.

Eg:
Code:
function INVENTORY() -- inv_table is a variable/table which string.split reads into. It uses commas as the delimiter in this case inv_table = string.split(msdp.INVENTORY, ",") -- this echo's the contents of the table to the main window for k, v in pairs (inv_table) do echo(v.."\n") end end

Oh yeah - add the following to the top of static void msdp_update( void )
Code:
char buf2[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];

Still leaves:

comm.c:2967: warning: zero-length printf format string
comm.c:2967: warning: zero-length printf format string

-Line 2967 is: snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "");

Yep its supposed to clear the string.
Maybe there is a better way to do that?
