using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;

public class Mission : AMission
{
    public override void OnBattleStarted()
    {
        base.OnBattleStarted();
        maddox.game.GameDef game = GamePlay as maddox.game.GameDef;
        
        game.EventChat += new GameDef.Chat(Game_EventChat);
    }

    void Game_EventChat(IPlayer from, string msg)
    {
        if (msg.Contains("!hello"))
        {
            GamePlay.gpLogServer(new Player[] { from }, "Hello World!", null);
        }
    }

}

This script is also causing the serialization exception. It looks like the usage of GameDef forces the serialization. This is really a shame as capturing the chat would be very useful for multiplayer missions ... but writing a multiplayer addin was successful so far

no matter what i tried i couldnt manage to create a reference to gamedev object, all castings i tried returned null in Init method, probably would get serialization error instead in OnBattleStarted method, since GameDev is abstract and its constructor which the game uses needs an IGameInterface, there must be a way to keep it as a reference with the right type. i guess "as" operator tries to serialize gameplay for conversion. idk if gameplay can be casted like this directly or indirectly. which makes me think devs may have done this to restrict these parts from users. it would be better to ask for a proper way for this, maybe they can include new methods/properties for us in the future to interact more extensively.

Did you check if GamePlay is null before the cast?

Basicly you can do the cast using

maddox.game.GameDef game = (maddox.game.GameDef)GamePlay;

- this will cause a exception if cast fails

or

maddox.game.GameDef game = GamePlay as maddox.game.GameDef;

- this will return null if cast fails.

I tried both and both did work. Of course I still get the serialization exception.

Hi, Stillborn!

Is it possible to reduce number of destroyer ships by about 30-50%?
We have complains that it is not possible to have dogfights above them due to their uber AAA.

BTW some stats from Repka 2 http://r2.repka.su/

Thanks for the mission again!

The code is included in this mission by stillborn. If you open files there is place to enter your ftp address and password. The rest is done by the mission I can not explain how, as I am only a user. There are some details in original stillborn's post. He mentiones that anyone can use this stat code with any other mission. Someone else from this forum uses this stat with a different mission. I've seen a link in someones sig.
