Item Tooltips

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is a major bug about the weapons and armor.

when you create a new items, on the server side everything work fines, but when 
you put your cursor above it, the tooltip is showing the stats and all the 
STATS are missing.

I mean Str, Agi, MinHit, MaxHit etc...

I've seen that all the other stats on the items are synchronizing on the IO but 
not these...

anyone could fix this?

I guess, I should just put them as normal stats like the other cause they work 
fine.

I finally had some time to look at this again. I think I've cracked it, give me 
a few days and I'll try and commit a solution to this :).

I won't be committing any changes but the cause of this bug is due to the 
[NetGore.SyncValueAttribute()] not being set on the stat collections therefore 
all stats defaulting to 0 and not showing on the tooltips.

So would the way to solve it be to not using stat collections for the stats? Or 
is there someway to add the [NetGore.SyncValueAttribute()] to the stat 
collections?

No - statcollections are there for a reason.
This is what I thought but wasn't sure of whether the sync attribute could be 
added to collections. I asked Spodi but I've not received a reply yet.
Instead of relying on the sync, I created my own manual way of showing stats to 
the client.

I've created other stats on the character that doesn't use these stats anymore.
Until a better fix is done, cause I am trying to make my game balance with the 
Mobs, quests... can't wait for a fix in 5 months :P

What did you do dark for this trouble?

My fix (which I might as well commit at this rate xD), was manually sending the 
StatCollection over to the client via the normal BitStream approach. Issue 
solved :).
However, I wanted other people to realise this and learn something ;).

Did you have to code your own read function for stat collections? I've found I 
can write stat collections, but can't seem to find the corresponding read 
function.

If you look at the write method, you will see that it actually loops through 
each relevant (non zero) stat. So the answer is there - all you have to do is 
loop through the total sent (which it sends via a byte datatype) and read each 
stat.

I've basically explained the whole thing now, oh well :P

Ok, well I solved it now, but my fix is very hacky it seems. My read method 
converts them into the KeyValue<StatType, int> collection that the client 
expects but it doesn't add the zero stats, so sometimes returns null.. so I had 
to test for null in the tool tips.

That's not right at all :( If you follow my comments correctly, it will work 
perfectly. Talk on the forums or message me to carry this conversation further.
