About

This is a package of configurations for TinTin++. Rather than show actual code here, this documentation will explain how to use the package.

(An additional document will be created with specific code for common tasks)

What it Does

Connect to Realms with an alias 'go charname' and...
 -Load a config for that character (Set any specific alias, char's equipment, etc)
 -Load a config for his class      (Set primary 'hit', class triggers (think mage bot), other shared stuff for all chars in class. 
 -Load a config based on if you're a magic user or not    (should we cast dispel or wear an amulet, q spring or c spring, etc)
 -Load a config based on guild/order affiliation          (set donation container names, hq navigation aliasing, order heal names, etc)
 -Load configs for 'modules' which all characters would want      (speedwalking, damage tracking, potion tracking, speech logging, etc)
 -Load a set of aliases by which other triggers/configs can be toggled on/off  (toggle re-spell triggers, autofighting, remote control, etc)

Provide some nice features: 
 -Speedwalking
 -Autofighting (autoheal + autohit)
 -Inventory tracking, auto-restocking, 
 -Custom prompt to show # of potions and spell duration's in prompt. 
 -EQ damage tracking and auto-removal
 -Toggle-able re-spell triggers
 -Auto...track/re-arm/search/dig/style/drink/save. no-idle. 
 -Speech control of alts.

How does it do that?

/speech_log.tin               The log of channel text.
/newtin/...                   The directory containing the goods. 
   /main.tin                  Used to connect, read char, class, genre, order, and module configs. 
   /mod_config.tin            The module config. Calls various modules contained in /scripts/...
   /scripts/...               Contains various purpose-built scripts, can be called from anywhere, or are toggle-able.
   /characters/...            Contains character config files.
   /classes/...               Contains class config files.
   /genres/...                Contains genre (and guild/order) config files. 

What it doesn't do

One of the major assets of TinTin++ is that you can open multiple game connections out of the same tintin session. This allows you to be multi and issue commands straight to different chars without any window hopping.

However, it also means you can't SEE all your chars simultaneously, you can only see ONE, with the rest running in the background.

I only do this a little bit so far. I haven't really taken advantage here and just use in game triggers to control my alts.

For the most part, when I multi, I just open multiple terminals. However, for simplistic purposes, like golding, you can open multiple sessions and there are aliases setup to toggle them quickly, and triggers setup so you can control alts from a main via speech commands.

Disclaimer

I'm not a programmer. I do webserver administration for a living. I know FreeBSD, spend my time watching/tweaking/restarting Apache/MySQL, postfix, firewalls, grepping logs, and piping some basic shell commands together. I have no clue what I'm doing as far as actual programming of anything really. Someone who knows how to program will likely think I'm a moron, which I fully admit. I'm sure there are wayyyyyy better ways to do some of this, and wayyyyy more stuff you can do if you know how. Unfortunately, I don't know how, so this is just a package that sets me up with the basic functionality, a few nice perks, and that's about it.

If you do know how to program this stuff - please by god e-mail me: dyrdex@gmail.com

Installation Instructions

Get the files

http://dyrdex.com/tintin/

Available in both .tar.gz and .zip format, as well as flat files. 

That package actually also contains the tintin source, which you probably already have. 
You really only need the following files: 
  /tintin/main.tin
  /tintin/speech_log.tin
  /newtin 

Just make sure they remain in that relative structure within your tintin directory. 

If you do wanna run tintin itself out of the source in my archive, the tt++ executable there will need recompiled for your system

http://tintin.sourceforge.net/install.php

Set Your Password

Set your password in line 1 of /tintin/newtin/main.tin

#ALIAS          {go %0} {#ses %0 realmsofdespair.com 4000;%0;PASSWORD_HERE;&& \x0D && #cr};

(All chars must use same password under this setup)

Connect

I am stupid, and coded all paths relative to the tintin directory.

Add it to your $PATH 
  or
cd /path/to/tintin/

Execute the tt++ executable followed by the path to the main.tin script. Like:

./path/to/tintin/src/tt++ /path/to/tintin/newtin/main.tin

I have a bash alias setup for this in my .bashrc:

alias runtin='~HOME/tintin/tt++ ~HOME/tintin/newtin/main.tin'

So for me, to run this I do:

cd tintin
runtin

Once tintin is up and running, to connect to the mud use the 'go %0' alias setup in main.tin. %0 is your character name.

go dyrdex

Connection Scripting Explained

This is just detail on what's happening under the hood, if you just want to start playing, do 'go charname' and skip to #Set_Required_Variables

The connection script main.tin contains:

Trigger "Welcome to Realms of Despair"  
      Reads in: 
      Character specific: newtin/characters/CHARNAME_up_stuff.tin
      Global Modules:     newtin/mod_config.tin

**IMPORTANT** 
This trigger is essential for ALL other scripting to load. 
If you exit out of realms/tintin without issuing 'quit' - i.e. going LinkDead you do not receive the Welcome screen upon next login. 
Use the 'reload' alias after LD/RC to manually handle reloading of all configs. Or, quit properly, and log back in. 

After successful login, the 'score' command is ran and the "Class:" there sets $char_class variable. Configs are then read based on that:

Trigger   "Class: %0"
    Reads in
    Class & Genre:      newtin/scripts/class_genre_conf.tin

         This script itself reads in two or more scripts:  

    Class config:       newtin/classes/${char_class}_classconfig.tin  (e.g Thief_classconfig.tin)
    Genre config:       newtin/genres/nonmagics.tin or magics.tin. 
         The magic/nonmagic configs setup fly/dispel/createspring aliases based on potion usage or spellcasting. 
    Recall script:     newtin/scripts/recallscript.tin
         This is just a simple alias to get/recite recall. However, since Barb's don't do that, I ended up making every class BUT barbs read this script. 
         (Barb recalling managed directly out of Barb class config)
         (Vampires also pose a problem as they have SOME spells, they don't read a magic/non config, and are just managed out of their class config)
    Prompt script:     newtin/scripts/mana_prompt.tin  or  nonmana_prompt.tin  or  blood_prompt.tin

Finally, main.tin also triggers upon the presence of "Order: Dragonslayer" in 'score' and reads in a DS specific config:

Trigger    "Order:  Dragonslayer"

    Organization config:  newtin/genres/dragonslayer.tin

Upon quitting the game, configs will be saved based on the connected character specifically, and his class.

newtin/characters/CHARNAME_up_stuff.tin
newtin/classes/CLASSNAME_classconfig.tin

So, the FIRST time you connect a new charname or class, you may receive a 'cannot read file' type warning since those don't get created until the first quit. Just quit (writes out configs), and you should be able to log back in without any errors.

Set Required Variables

1. Upon FIRST login with a char, you must set the Potion and Item(recall) container variables once by running this alias:

setinv     (Note: I always forget if its setinv or invset, so, I actually set up both, both work, all the time)

In case you ever want to set container variables manually, there are also aliases for that:

potcon CONTAINER   (Should set to my.CONTAINER)
itemcon CONTAINER  (Should set to my.CONTAINER)

These vars are saved out to your character config, so should only need set ONCE, or until you change your container setup.

2. Set your HIT variable:

hitis HITNAME  (alias for: #var hit HITNAME) (this gets saved to your Class config)

3. Set your Weapon name, keyword (used for DISARM trigger), and ficticious AC (used for auto-removal pre-scrap)

eqon
(identify your weapon via spell or scroll)
keyis KEYWORD (enter a valid keyword for your weapon, the most unique word available is best)
itemac ##     (weapons have no AC, but eq is stripped if AC is unset or < 4, so set to something higher than 4 or 99 to disable auto-strip)
eqoff

do eqstat to confirm the item was stored correctly. 
--This is also the eq damage tracking system. See #EQ_Damage_Tracking for more. 

4. Set the 'wearall' alias for your given set of equipment. (saved to Character config)

If you have no layerable equpiment, just do: 
    #alias wearlall {wear all}

For Layered gear, obviously make this alias do everything you need. Most of mine are one of these: 
    #alias wearall {wear cloak; wear all}
    #alias wearall {wear tunic;wear gamb;wear haub;wear hide;wear gry;wear runecape;wear tab;wear cloak;wear all}

Commands

This section provides a general list of aliases which are used either to control tintin stuff itself or are used 'in-game'.

This section will not reference which config each command is setup in, this is just a general outline of available commands.

Client Commands

(Setup in /newtin/main.tin) These are all configured at the upper-most session level (The GTS session) Save Options

charwrite      "Save to character config" mode. (Default)
classwrite     "Save to class config" mode.  
nowrite        "Don't save" mode. Useful for testing and development. 

Session Options

ses#           Toggle to session #  
botson         Has ALL open sessions run 'boton' to enable speech command
botsoff        Has ALL open sessions run 'botoff' to disable speech command
allquit        Has ALL open sessions run 'quit' to logoff.
logall         Runs go A, go B, go C, etc, where A-Z would be your characters. Quick-log army. 

Load Options

reload         Must be run after LD or RC. Since no 'welcome' message occurs, this manually triggers all config loads. 

Terminal Options

line           Runs #split so you get an input line, and custom prompting. 
                  *Custom prompting will only work if you have run 'line' and your prompt matches what scripting expects #Custom_Prompt
unline         Un-split the terminal, back to default game prompt and no text-entry line. 

The Following are setup in various scripts under /newtin/scripts. Grepping for them would be the best way to find them specifically. Prompt Related

setnonmanaprompt Sets your in-game prompt so it triggers my tintin replacement prompt - for non-mana using classes. 
setmanaprompt  Sets your in-game prompt so it triggers my tintin replacement prompt - for mana users
setbloodprompt Sets your in-game prompt so it triggers my tintin replacement prompt - for blood point users.
setlowbiemanaprompt   Can you guess?

AutoFight Related

fighton        Enables fight/heal loop
fightoff       Disables fight/heal loop
ver            Runs 'version' which triggers a 'heal or hit' action ONE_TIME (loopable via fighton/off)
hitis BLA      Set 'hit' to BLA
gogo           Fight script gets disabled by'too full' or 'out of heals'. Run gogo to re-enable fight scripting.

       say immobon   - bot char runs 'immobon' to enable re-immob triggers
       say immoboff  - bot char runs 'immoboff' to disable
       say immo %0   - bot char runs "c 'immob' %0"
       * You CAN make YOURSELF a bot, and will respond to your own speech commands.
       **Might change these to tells to avoid public room spamming with this stuff

Spell Triggers

say spellme   - if mage present, casts 'spell' on you
say shields   - if mage present, casts all elemental shields on you
say all       - if cleric/mage present, casts all he can cast on you
*there are mage/cleric triggers for EVERYTHING they cast. See Mage/Cleric config.

Modules

Upon connection, 'modules' are loaded when main.tin reads in mod_config.tin.

I set it up this way so chunks of code could be enabled/disabled for debugging. Over time, will likely consolidate upwards.

Speedwalking

Aliasing to send chars to game areas from DH []

newtin/scripts/dirslist.tin

Usage 
goBLA        Speedwalk to area BLA where BLA is my own shorthand for the area name. See list below. 

Some specific mobs or places:   
gokarl       Go to Karl in KoTR, remove all, repair all, and recall. 
goseth       Go the whole way to the Chaos Maze in Seth's Fortress

govla        Go to Vl'aresch (to favor)
goaen        Go to A'enari (to favor)

Search Function
If you're not sure of what the shorthand key for an area is, you can search for it with the 'finddir' alias
The full directions set is also displayed in case you want to see that for some reason.  

finddir BLA  Searches for the term BLA in the dirslist.tin file. Case insensitive, and any term in the area name will work. 

finddir moon
#NOP Temple of the Moon = tom
#ALIAS {gotom} {nw;w;w;#4 n;e;look painting;open n;n;#49 w;#8 s;sw;#3 w;n};

** Incomplete, only have added areas as I go to them really. Many more to add and will probably add more specific people/mobs too. 

Quit Script

newtin/scripts/quitscript.tin

This is a stupid simple script that should probably just be condensed up into something else.

Sets up 'quit' as an alias for:

1. Write all actions/alises under the character_connected class out to the character config file. (e.g newtin/characters/GUY_connected_up.tin
2. Write all actions/alises under the char_class class out to the. (e.g. newtin/classes/Thief_classconfig.tin)
3. Sends the actual 'quit' command to the mod. 

Trigger Toggles

newtin/scripts/onoffs.tin

Command aliases to enable/disable triger sets for specific purposes that we don't want enabled all the time:

See Above: #On.2FOff_switches

Description of functionality:

Each 'on' alias does: 
1. Open new class (sanc_trig in example below)
   Read a script containing the trigger/alias we want into that class (all scripts read out of /newtin/scripts/)
   (Class is closed automatically after read)
2. ReOpen the default character_connected class. 

Example Code: 
#ALIAS {sancon} {
       #CLASS {sanc_trig} {read} {newtin/scripts/sanc_trig.tin};
       #CLASS ${char_connected}_up {open};
       }

Each 'off' script simply kills that class, which destroys all triggers/aliases which were setup in it: 
1. Kill the class that was loaded by the 'on' alias
2. ReOpen the default character_connected class.

Code: 
#ALIAS {sancoff} {
       #CLASS {sanc_trig} {kill};
       #CLASS ${char_connected}_up {open};
       }

Inventory Mgmt

Scripting to track inventory items, restock, etc.

Aliases: varseton/varsetoff, findcons, inventoryupdate, setinv. 
Script: newtin/scripts/inv_vars.tin
Script: newtin/scripts/inventory.tin

Initial 'on hand' values are taken by enabling the inv_vars.tin trigger set. We don't always want these triggers enabled however, so they are a toggle.

varseton/varsetoff   (toggle inv_vars.tin triggers to set the following variables upon 'seeing' things via findcons and setinv aliases)

newtin/scripts/inv_vars.tin - Sets up triggers for capturing the following variables:

Variable        Definition
  OHrecalls     On-Hand recall scrolls quantity - can be standard recall scrolls, tribal runes, or Dragonslayer recalls
  OHheals       On-Hand heal potions quantity   - can be standard violet pots, or Dragonslayer heals. 
  OHspringpots  On-Hand create-spring potions quantity
  OHtrues       On-Hand truesight potions
  OHsancs       On-Hand sanctuary potions
  OHblues       On-Hand mana potions (Currently setup for Dragonslayer orchid pots, didn't actually add "blue potions" cuz I forgot.

Additionally, inv_vars.tin contains the pattern matching used by the 'findcons' alias to identify containers and set the pot_cont and item_con variables.

Container Pattern Matching - Currently Supported Containers: 
 Dracocutis of the Isorla
 Gnomish crafted metal potion container
 a laundry basket
 a pouch of purple cloth
 Kahl's Green Dragonhide Pouch
 an old decaying basket
 an extradimensional portal  
 a small birch chest

Originally, I had this setup to simply grab a %0 and set that as the var, so it would work with ANY container, but that was problematic. 
Discrepancies between container names and keywords were a pain to sort out. Given I only use 2/3 containers ever, was easier to script explicitly. 
 

newtin/scripts/inventory.tin This script is always enabled. It manages the upkeep of inventory 'on hand' values and the math for that.

Synopsis of inventory.tin:

-Set minimum values of tracked potions. Useful for 'restock' aliasing, or 'low stock' notifications. 
-Increment/Decrement 'on-hand' values based on 'putting' items in the container or 'quaff/recite' usage triggers.

How to set your inventory

The one-step method: 
     setinv  -OR- invset  (both do the same thing)

There are multiple aliases you can run if you want to go through things step by step:

Manual step-by-step: 
     varseton
     findcons
     inventoryupdate
     varsetoff

Running #var you should now see variables setup for your containers and potion quantities.

#VARIABLE {OHheals}={141}
#VARIABLE {OHrecalls}={21}
#VARIABLE {OHsancs}={2}
#VARIABLE {OHspringpots}={6}
#VARIABLE {OHtrues}={2}
#VARIABLE {item_con}={my.laundry}
#VARIABLE {pot_con}={my.draco}

Restocking

Restocking alias:

Currently, this is only available to chars in Dragonslayer given that it uses DS specific potion names and donation room containers. 
newtin/genres/dragonslayer.tin

Configuratation

Inventory management, adjusting of quantities on-hand, etc, is handled out of newtin/scripts/inventory.tin

First, you must configure your preferred minimum-on-hand quantities that you'd like to restock up to.

Set these with the following aliases for 'potion'min ## where ## is the minimum value you want to keep in stock: 

healmin ##
manamin ##
truemin ##
sancmin ##
springmin ##

Usage

Be in the donation room (The Dragon's Hoard) and there are several aliases to stock things:

Alias: restock
Usage: Will 'restock' up to defined "Minimum" quotas. 
       Only heals, manas, trues, sancs, create-springs are currently tracked.

Notes: 
      For heals, the code is smart enough to 'get' in batches of 10, so you can get large quantities to attain a quota of whatever (default 100)
      For the others, the code is dumber, and if you want/need more then one 'pull' of 10 it's going to fail cuz it'll just try "get ## potion" which you can't carry. 

Alias: 100heals
Usage: Must be in DS donation room. Uses 'fill' to fill 100 heals into your $pot_con

Alias: gettank
Usage: Must be in the DS donation room. Get's a full tankset and puts it in your $pot_con

Incomplete/ToDo

I need to find all the 'Oops... (potion name) is knocked from your hand' messages and add stock adjustments for those into inventory.tin

(Oops messages with heals (ds heals) IS currently setup, so your heal counts SHOULD be accurate)

Adding additional potions to inventory tracking

To track additional inventory counts, of anything really, you'll need to set the following:

In /newtin/genres/inventory.tin

To Set item quota, and usage/restock decrement/increments of on-hand quantities: 
Create an alias to set the quota to re-stock of that item
   #ALIAS {FOOmin %0} {#VAR {min_FOO} {%0}}

Setup the item usage success message in the DECREMENTS section to decrease the on-hand count by 1 upon usage.
    You use a FOO   

Setup the item usage fail message in the DECREMENTS section
    You drop a FOO

Setup the singular and multi item deposit messages to INCREMENT its on-hand value
    You put a FOO in..  -> increment by 1
    You put a FOO (%0) in -> increment by %0

Setup the math to determine how many you are lacking and need to restock to bring you up to quota: 
  *See the script itself under the restock alias section and just copy/paste blocks for other potions but change the var names
  *The 'heals' potion of this is currently the only thing 'smart' enough to handle getting more than 10 of an item. 

In /newtin/scripts/inv_vars.tin

Setup the 'on sight' trigger to adjust values based on what you see in your container. (Used by the 'setinv' command.)
    #ACTION {a item of FOO (%0)} {#VAR OHfoos %0}

Speech/Channel Logging

newtin/scripts/speech_logging.tin

The following channels are logged out to a file at /tintin/speech_log.tin

ordertalks
says, exclaims, wonders
tells you
chats
asks
answers
yells

To setup a secondary window for speech logging, which is nice during a run when too much text is flying by to catch conversation:

Open a new terminal window
tail -f /path/to/tintin/speech_log.tin

Of course, that will lack colorization. If you'd like to add color to that log to differentiate between the different channels logged:

Google about it, I used this primarily: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8414/how-to-have-tail-f-show-colored-output

I ended up going with 'colorex' (https://bitbucket.org/linibou/colorex/wiki/Home)

In a new terminal, I run: 

tail -f speech_log.tin | colorex -y .\*ordertalks.\* --green .\*says.\* --green .\*exclaims.\* --cyan .\*tells.\* -r 'chats|asks|answers' -m .\*yells.\*

I would suggest adding an alias to that in your shell config. (In my case, this is .zshrc)

alias tinlog="tail -f speech_log.tin | colorex -y .\*ordertalks.\* --green .\*says.\* --green .\*exclaims.\* --cyan .\*tells.\* -r 'chats|asks|answers' -m .\*yells.\*"

EQ Damage Tracking

newtin/scripts/eq_tracking.tin
newtin/scripts/id_eq.tin

The eq_tracking.tin script contains the triggers for tracking ac, adjusting values, and auto-removing eq.

The id_eq.tin script is a toggle on/off script which must be enabled for initial gear scanning to set eq inventory and ac stats.

Commands

There are a few aliases entailed in this that you should be aware of:

eqon/eqoff                             Toggle triggers to capture item vars from 'identify' output
eqset {%0}                             Manually set a piece of eq for entry. Use the FULL descriptive name of the object in brackets.
itemac %0                              Manually set items AC and Max AC to %0
keyis KEYWORD                          Set's the item's keyword for command usage
eqstat                                 Display all tracked eq stats
itemfind ITEM                          Display specific item eq stats (matches based on item name, any terms found in item name work)
acset                                  Reset all AC values to max
repairall                              Reset all AC values to max, then issue in-game 'repair all' command
remeq                                  Remove a piece of eq from the tracked eq list

How to Use

Entering Item Data

Using 'identify' to auto-enter details:

eqon                                   Enables triggers to capture item vars
do identify on a piece of gear.        Capture item name, current AC, max AC values. 
keyis KEYWORD                          Set functional keyword for item
..(repeat identify/keyis for all gear)
eqoff                                  Disables triggers so no further data is captured by subsequent 'identify's on other eq. 

Manually Entering Items (Necessary for weapons and lights)

(Set weapons to 12 and lights to 20)
eqset Full Item Name                   Set item to be scanned (also clears any existing info in the eq db for the item)
itemac %0                              Set the items AC and maxAC values to %0 (presumes item is currently at max ac)
keyis KEYWORD                          Set functional keyword for item

Removing Item Data

Removing Items

remeq ITEMNAME. 

Sometimes removing items can be tricky because of the way special characters work. If necessary, just hard edit the variable: 
quit from your character
open newtin/characters/CHARNAME_up_stuff.tin
edit the {eqlist} var (see below for formatting)

Displaying Item Data

eqstat                                 Display all tracked eq stats
itemfind BLA                           Display all tracked eq stats for any items which include the term BLA anywhere in name or key. 

Auto-Removal of Items

Warnings and Actions

Currently the script is configured to remove an item once it reaches an AC of '5' explicitly (line 16 newtin/scripts/eq_tracking.tin)

Item DB

This system essentially lets you build up an item db for each character. It's not important to remove equipment from the db if you're not wearing it, the eqlist can contain tons of eq. If the trigger sees ANY of those names being damaged, its AC will be adjusted and actions taken accordingly. So, you can build a huge list for each char really.

The Item DB is stored in the 'eqlist' variable. Each item name is a nested variable, and each items ac, max ac, and keyword, are nested within each item name:

#var {eqlist} {
                {Andvarinaut}{{ac}{16}{acMAX}{16}{key}{andvar}}
                {the ring of the ancient gods}{{ac}{12}{acMAX}{12}{key}{ancient}}
                {scales of alpha \& omega}{{ac}{40}{acMAX}{40}{key}{1.scales}}
               }

Generically:    {FULL ITEM NAME} {Current AC}{##} {Max AC}{##} {Keyword}{Key for item} 

(In your config script that'll all be condense so it looks like one long string)


This took me a lont time to figure out, so, if you want to mess with stuff, it's probably useful information to show how to call each var: 
$eqlist[]                      Outputs all item full names
$eqlist[Andvarinaut][ac]       Outputs 16
$eqlist[Andvarinaut][key]      Outputs andvar

The damage trigger basically adjusts #var $eqlist[%0][ac] by -1 anytime it sees the message '%0 gets damaged'.

ReCasting

This is all garbage. I need a way better philosophy of how to deal with failed spells. should prrrrobably just be disabled for now. (comment it out of newtin/mod_config.tin)

newtin/scripts/nonfight_recast.tin

When NOT fighting ($fighting var = 0) failure message triggers "!" (resend last command)

That works well enough if you're casting spells one by one.

It fails entirely when trying to do 'all' or 'shields' for instance and a spell in the middle fails. 
That spell is lost, and instead the final spell of the group is recast. 
If THAT Spell is already applied, then even a successful cast will result in failure messages indefinitely...
 -You've now got a runaway trigger firing! You're Welcome!

When Fighting ($fighting var = 1), failure message triggers "version" (triggers my heal/hit triggers)

This is basically currently geared for auto re-hitting with a mage/ceric via qspike or virtue. 
The logic would go: 
  VERSION -> check health -> IF necessary (heal + rerun version) ELSE -> cast hit spell
  FAILED  -> rerun version
  SUCCESS -> rerun version

This part works well enough so long as your ONLY hitting with a spell. If you try to cast other stuff during a fight, this becomes a nuisance.

Custom Prompt

Custom prompting via tintin works by staging the tintin #prompt command to pattern match your in-game prompt, and then substitute/rearrange that however you want.

The tintin prompt is useful because you can configure it to include tintin variables, and MSDP data.

Split Mode

Custom prompts in tintin only work when in #split mode. I've aliased the command 'line' to do #split 0 3

I cannot figure out how to get it to auto-run this upon login. So you have to type 'line' upon login every time sadly. 
(You may see attempts to run this amidst the connection scripting in main.tin, but, it doesn't seem to work)

This split allocates 4 lines to your input and prompt, in expectation of the custom 2-line prompt I've setup, and input:

Think of the lines like this as you look at the screen: 

Line 3: Top line of prompt data
Line 2: Bottom line of prompt data
Line 1: input/mud separator line
Line 0: input

See the screenshot below for what it actually looks like. 

The 'line/unline' aliases are setup in main.tin
  line
  unline

Pattern Matching

TinTin's custom prompting is essentially a trigger on your in-game prompt. It works like this:

Trigger setup on to fire on your actual in-game prompt by pattern matching the whole string.
Gag that in-game prompt and substitute it with a custom tintin prompt on a specific line. 

Thus, for tintin custom prompting to work, your in game prompt must match what the custom prompting scripts expect.

I've made alises which will adjust your in-game prompt accordingly 
NOTE: You should run 'prompt' and 'fprompt' in-game and note those down first, as this will blow them away: 

Depending on if your class uses mana, no-mana, blood, or if you are a lowbie and want to see exp, set your in-prompt:

setmanaprompt            Mage, Cleric, Ranger, Fathomer, Augurer, etc. 
setnonmanaprompt         Thief, Warrior, Barbarian
setbloodprompt           Vampire
setlowbiemanaprompt      Lowbie-Mana Users
 (I didn't setup a lowbie-non-mana user yet, it's a pain, just use the mana one and deal with the extraneous field)

The script newtin/scripts/class_genre_conf.tin specifies which tintin prompt to load for each class.

I have heavily commented these scripts so hopefully it takes you less time to figure out how these work than it took me. 
/newtin/scripts/mana_prompt.tin
/newtin/scripts/nonmana_prompt.tin
/newtin/scripts/blood_prompt.tin
/newtin/scripts/lowbie_mana_prompt.tin

*Yes, these COULD also be combined into a single script, given that only 1 is gonna match your in-game prompt. But, too lazy to condense.

Output

The output is a two-line prompt that displays both regular prompt data as well as inventory stock variables and msdp data for affects.

Example prompt (this is the mana-user's prompt. There's one for non-mana which removes that, and one for blood. They're all basically the same)

KEY: 
True (#) = rounds remaining on truesight      --from msdp AFFECTS var
Sanc (#) = rounds remaining on sanctuary      --from msdp AFFECTS var
hl = heals on hand                            --from examining your containers with the 'setinv' alias
mn = mana potions on hand                     --ibid on down
sn = sanctuary pots on hand. 
ts = truesights on hand
sp = create spring potions on hand

Customization

This example code set's up how to match & replace your in-game prompt, include regular variables, and the msdp variables. 
This should lay the ground work for whatever tweaking you'd like to do. 
The main thing that's tricky is making damn sure the #prompt command matches you in-game prompt format EXACTLY. 
Once you've got your in-game prompt correct, and the tintin #prompt substitution happening, adding in variables to the display is simple, 
The prompt configs are HIGHLY commented, so read those and it should be clear how to adjust to your liking.

AutoFight

Compenents

/newtin/scripts/fighton.tin
     Toggled on/off by 'fighton' and 'fightoff' aliases specified in /newtin/scripts/onoffs.tin

Some aspects of this stuff are actually always enabled in newtin/scripts/basic_utilities.tin

- hp tracking
- 'version' triggering heal/hit check
- hit and target aliasing

Variables Used:

$hp         Current HP: captured from prompt 
$hpMAX      Max HP: captured from prompt
$damage     Result of MaxHP - Current HP = Damage taken. 
$fighting   Used to flag us fighting or not, essentially gets used to intiate FIRST command to start loop and that's all. 
$canquaff   Used to determine if we are even able to quaff a potion. If not, disables further attempts to do so to prevent runaway failures.  

Triggers Used:

1. (CHARNAME)F  : My fprompt starts with this. The 'F' makes it different from regular prompt so it fires this trigger. 
           ALWAYS: set hp/maxhp/damage variables based on frprompt fields. 
           IF $fighting variable is set to 0 (we are not yet fighting) set it to 1 and run 'ver'. Go to 2. 
           ELSEIF: $fighting variable is set to 1 (we are already fighting i.e. have already started the heal/hit loop) Then: Do nothing. 
                   (This starts the fight, and heal/hit loop with the initial send of 'ver'. Then it ignores further fprompts. 

2. SMAUG 2.1  : Output of('ver' command) triggers the IF statements: 
           IF the 'canquaff' variable is set to 0, it means we're out of heals or totally full, so don't do anything. 
                   (Prevents runaway heal attempts)
           ELSEIF damage > 100; THEN heal & run 'version' again. 
                   (Thus heals one at a time: check, heal, recheck, heal, recheck, heal, up to dam < 100. 
           ELSE damage < 100; THEN $hit the $target
   
   If you run 'ver' without 'fighton' being enabled the logic stops here, you would heal until you hit, and then nothing happens.
   If 'fighton' is enabled, then the following step is also applied, which loops back to running 'ver' to restart everything once more. 
       
3. Your hit * : Output of various class 'hit' commands. See below for included hit messages so far. 
                   (Upon display, run ver. Ver waits in mud buffer for hit lag to resolve, then shows asap. Go To 2.
                   

Aliases Used:

fighton    Enables recursive loop
fightoff   Disables looping
ver        Runs 'version' 
targ %0    Sets $target variable (multiple aliases for this, see #Hit_.26_Target_Commands
gogo       Re-enables the package if it gets disabled by inability to quaff heals. See 'Additional Triggers' just below in this section.

ALIAS: fighton

This alias reads in the necessary triggers to cause additional 'version' commands which restart the loop indefinitely. 

Triggers re-start the loop by doing 'version' upon hit messages. Currently supported hits:

circle
leap
grasp
rend
smash
stun
vindur gong

Just add other hit messages into the file so any 'hit' causes another 'ver' to create a loop. 

ALIAS: fightoff

Disables the triggers above so that hit messages do not trigger further 'version' commands to restart the loop.

Logic

When we see the Fprompt if you're not currently flagged as 'fighting'($fighting = 1) then set fighting=1 and issue 'version' to initiate heal/hit check.
"Version" triggers an HP check, heals up if necessary to witihn 100 hp of max, then issues a $hit to $target.  
Monitor for various 'hit' messages. Upon those hit messages - issue 'version' once more. This will appear on sceen as soon as hit lag resolves. 
If a spell attack fails, re-run 'version' once more. 

The Loop:

With 'fighton' enabled, the logical loop is as such: 
0. k MOB (sets $targ as MOB) (The $hit variable is also already defined upon login via the class config, can be reset with 'hitis HITNAME' as well)

1. IF the Fprompt appears, flag us as fighting, and issue initial 'version' command. (Also IF the Fprompt appears again, and we're flagged fighting, do nothing)
      -This is used to START a fight at first sight of Fprompt by sending 'ver', but not sending additional ones on each subsequent fprompt. 
2. Version appears on screen. Triggers step 3.  
3. IF damage is greater than 100, take a heal and ReRun 'version'. Return to step 2. 
   ELSEIF damage is less than 100. Proceed to step 4. 
4. Issue a hit to the target
5. Hit message appears on the screen. Triggers step 6. (Hit lag active)
6. Send 'version' command to mud, it sits in mud buffer while hit lag resolves. 
7. Hit lag resolves. Version command processed. Return to step 2. 
8. Regular (non-fprompt) appears on screen (fight is over): set $fighting variable to 0.

Additional Triggers

"You Cannot Circle" -------------> reset $hit variable from 'circle' to 'leap'
"...has no blood to feed upon" --> fightoff (should make this just switch the attack to a none-blood attack)
(Spell MISS messages) -----------> version (rerun heal/hit trigger)
"You are too full..." -----------> set's the 'can quaff' flag to 'no' and disables further fight/heal triggering. Back to manual control.
"You don't see that" ------------> (out of heals) does the same as above. Back to manual control.

How to use

First, make sure your hit message (and miss message) are be setup in /newtin/scripts/fighton.tin.

circle, leap, rend, stun, smash, grasp, vindur, qspike, already setup there. Add others similarly. 

Each hit/miss mesasge just triggers the 'version' mud command:
#ACTION {Your strike} {ver}

Variables which need set

$pot_con   (See #How_to_set_your_inventory
$hit       
$target

There are several aliases for setting your preferred hit and the target.

HIT:

Use the 'hitis' alias to set your preferred recurring auto-hit. 
hitis rend

This is saved out to your class config upon quit, so it should save session to session. 
If you typically use the same hit, then it'll already be there. 

TARGET:

The easiset way to target an enemy is just to use a custom 'attack' command which does that, such as: 
k MOB   (sets MOB as the $target and then does 'kill MOB')
kil MOB
bs MOB
vom MOB

There are also some more explicit commands, and speech triggered methods: 
targ MOB
say target MOB  (will set it on YOU and any alts in the room running this package)
say targ MOB    (same)
gt targ MOB     (will set it on any group members running this package if the multi module is loaded (it is by default). 

These are all setup in newtin/scripts/basic_utilities.tin 
Add others similarly. 

Attacking

Once you've set your hit message triggers, and the required variables, simply begin a fight and it should auto-fire the loop.

For aggro mobs, you'll want to set the target before walking into them.

Stall-outs, Fail-Safes, and Restarts

Stalls

If nothing is happening, this means an action occurred which did not result in another 'version' command being sent to the mud.

Run 'ver' manually to run the heal/hit check and see if it loops or stalls. 

Sometimes this 'just happens'. You can always run 'ver' to do a one-off heal/hit check and then work on making it loop after the fight.

Figure out what you did which is not setup to trigger 'ver'. It's most likely your hit/miss message is not in fighton.tin or there is a variant of it you did not add there yet, a typo, etc. 

Fail-Safe

Autofighting is automatically disabled if you cannot quaff heals. This would occur in two cases:

No heals remaining in $pot_con. 
Stomach too full, cannot drink any more. 

Both of these set a flag variable $canquaff to 0 meaning, you cannot quaff, and this preempts the hit/heal check. You will see

*****CANNOT QUAFF --Too Full or Out of Stock-- Run gogo to clear*****

Drinking from a spring will clear that flag and re-enable the hit/heal loop once more. 
It can also be manually cleared with the 'gogo' alias. 

Restart

ver       This runs a heal/hit check manually. 
          Theoretically, even if the loop isn't looping, you could just always use this manually, and that would be decent really. 
gogo      This alias force clears the $canquaff flag and re-runs 'ver'. 
          If you see the fail-safe warning again, try gogo, if it recurs it is likely accurate and you cannot quaff.
          Drink a spring, or take manual control for awhile ignoring the failsafe message until you CAN drink a spring.

Multiplay Remote Piloting

Module configuration: newtin/scripts/multi.tin

This one is a bit hard to explain. Basically multi works really well in tintin by default, so these are just some small tweaks I've made to setup some aliasing for it. Unlike other parts of this package, this one I pretty much just hardcoded with my character names, so you would have to do the same. You COULD set things up to detect your character names automatically and then make all these things work on variables, but, honestly I haven't had the need yet. The key here is that the connection alias 'go charname' opens a session with session-name charname. Tintin allows you to send commands to other sessions via their session-names, thus, you can jump to other sessions, or send to commands to them, using that session-name, which is the charname, which is nice and makes sense. You'll see what I mean below:

Opening Multiple Sessions

After connecting one character to the mud with the 'go char1name' alias. Just do it again and 'go char2name'. Boom, 2 chars 1 cup.

You will only physically see the session you've selected. This is sometimes not cool, cuz you wanna monitor chars simultaneously. 
Thus, there are two ways to manage multi'ing - 
   Remote Session Control -- for when you're truly multi in a single terminal running multiple sessions. 
   Remote Speech Control  -- for when you've got multiple terminals/instances of tintin running separately (so you can see em all)

Remote Session control

When tintin opens multiple sessions in the same terminal, you can send commands to any of those directly with #sessioname commands.

In this package, session names are your character names, which is set when you do 'go char1name'. It makes the session name 'char1name'
   Let's say you have two characters logged: Bob and Tom. (so you did 'go bob', he connected, then did 'go tom', and he connected)
   From the 'Tom' session you can do:
   #bob say hello I'm being controlled by Tom's session!

To make things even easier, I also added aliasing to abbreviate the session names and eliminate the # prefix: 
    See /newtin/main.tin 

For example: 
    #ALIAS          {dard} {#dardex}

That alias allows me to control the dardex character from another session with commands like: 
    dard say hello I'm being controlled by another session!

It's also useful to know that tintin provides a #all command which will send a command to ALL open sessions: 
#all nod
Char1 nods
Char2 nods
Char3 nods
Char4 nods
etc. 

Configuration

Setup in newtin/scripts/globals.tin (which is loaded by newtin/main.tin upon startup)

The following will always work for every char since they are loaded in the GTS session.
Thus - you can just run tintin, and do 'logall' for instance to log your army.  
 
ses              - List all open sessions.  
logall           - Connect to all specified characters (char list hard-coded in newtin/main.tin)
allquit          - Quit out ALL connected sessions. 
char             - Sets up the shorthand for controlling the #char session. Also hard-coded - see the file. 

Setup in newtin/scripts/multi.tin, the following will only work AFTER connecting to the mud (not from GTS session)

This script is still something I am thinking about how to use really.
It contains things you would need once connected to the mud on 1 session.
These will NOT work from the unconnected GTS session. 

dymsarmy         - For when I log my char Dymrex, and want to log the rest of my army without disconnecting. 
                   (Otherwise, I'd have to quit Dym, then do logall at the GTS)
                   (Theoretically you could setup different armies here. I only have 1, and Dym is always my leader)
groupall %0      - All chars follow %0, and %0 groups them. Thus, %0 is your group leader.
                   Also enabled Remote Speech Control on all characters. So you can control directly, or by speech. 
                   (Also presumes your leader is your #1 session (first logged) and puts you on that session.  
regroup %0       - Just re-does the above really, in case someone falls out. 

botson/off       - All char's enable Remote Speech Logging. If you want to enable speech commands without grouping.

allfight         - All char's enable autofighting (fighton alias)

Remote Speech Command

There is a on/off toggle which enables characters to receive command from remote characters via 'say'.

This is necessary if you are not nesting sessions in a single terminal. (So you can physically see them both)
If you have multiple terminals open, then you can send commands directly to alts via tintin, so must use in-game speech triggering.

boton/botoff     Setup in /newtin/scripts/onoffs.tin

Once on, the bot chars respond per the configuration in /newtin/scripts/bot_control.tin

say fighton  -- character who's implemented 'boton' would execute 'fighton' autofighting loop
say fightoff -- character who's implemented 'boton' would execute 'fightoff' to disable autofighting loop

say immobon  -- bot char enables re-immobilize trigger to constantly immob
say immoboff -- bot char disabled re-immobilize trigger
say immo %0  -- bot character casts immob against mob %0

And the over-arching wildcards to make a bot 'do THIS':

tell BOTCHAR 'bc foo bar'  -- bot char executes 'foo bar'

Group-talk control - for when multi'ing in a large group of bot chars:

gt foo bar   -- All bots in the group execute 'foo bar'

Example setup

To gold mithril hall, I do:

runtin        - start tintin++ at GTS session
go dymrex     - Log character Dymrex
dymsarmy      - Log my other alts
groupall dym  - All chars follow Dymrex, and Dyrex groups them. 
allfight      - All chars enable autofighting
runmith       - Loads the mithril hall trigger set out of /newtin/runs/mithril.tin
Quil mithmage - My mage char Quiltran, session shorthand Quil, runs his 'mithmage' alias. (which is in his class config) 
(go pick a fight - the runmith triggerset includes triggers to have my leader grouptalk this upon seeing Bruenor (and other mobs))
gt targ bru   - Entire army targets Bruenor

I'm still figuring out how best to multi, so obviously this could be made much more efficient. For now, I'm testing the pieces. 

Additional TO DO

1. Add more 'remote control' commands so that tank can say/tell things to bots for specific actions more quickly than typing them out.
2. Add in triggers to handle status ailments or whatnot
3. Vette all 'hit messages' and find all 'miss messages'.
4. Find all 'you can't do that' messages and setup auto-change-hit triggers upon those, similar to "you cannot circle" above. 
4. KNOWN BUG: Too many 'ver' commands get sent to mud. 
   This bug occurs in the following case: 
        1. You are fighting more than 1 mob. 
        2. The first mob dies. The prompt toggles back to non-fighting prompt for a split second. 
        3. The other mob in the room is the same 'target' name as the initial opponent.
   The bug itself: 
        1. You issue a hit to your opponent. They die upon that hit. 
        2. That hit message has already triggered another 'ver' and it's already in the mud buffer waiting processing. 
        3. The prompt will change from fprompt to regular prompt. Set's $fighting var to 0 (not fighting).
        3. 'ver' output triggers heal/hit. If you hit: 
        4. Since the mob is dead, you would TYPICALLY get a failure message ala "They're not here" etc. 
           4a. This may not happen if... there is another mob by the same target name in the room! So then:
        6. BUG: The hit in the muds command buffer intended for target A lands on new target B
        7. This hit message triggers a 'ver', let's call it "ver A". 
           7a. This means the original hit/heal loop is essentially uninterrupted, triggered by target A and hitting target B after A died. 
        8. The prompt flips back to the frompt upon hitting target B.
        9. The Fprompt triggers a check on the $fighting, since its 0, triggers another 'ver'. let's call it "ver b"

   End result: 
        You get 2 'ver' outputs
              (AUTOFIGHTING) <--Carried over from original fight, still going.
              (AUTOFIGHTING) <--Initiated because prompt flipped back to regular and then fprompt again, resetting $fighting var. Fight re-initiated.
        Triggering 2 actions
              (You HIT the TARGET)
              (You HIT the TARGET)
        Which trigger 2 more 'ver' outputs, and this all now runs in clumps of 2 checks and 2 actions. If you kill a 3rd mob, it goes to 3, etc. 

   Solutions: 
        Manage the $fighting variable better upon death? Perhaps delay it's removal several seconds to allow hits in buffer to resolve?

To Do

A. Re-casting improvements:

track 'last casted' and if it fails, store it as a 'needs recasted' var, and cast those until they receive success message. 
How to track last INPUT command? Not sure that's possible. Log inputs and tail the last 1 line?

Z. Once realms fixes MSDP support, MSDP integration.
