Documentation
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)
To view the actual code:
Visit http://dyrdex.com/tintin/tintin.dyrdex/ Download the packages from http://dyrdex.com/tintin/ and open on your system.
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 -AutoHeal/AutoHit -Inventory tracking, auto-restocking, custom prompting to show # of heals, trues, sancs, etc, in prompt. -EQ damage tracking -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. This package DOES NOT utilize this feature. I prefer to SEE all my characters simultaneously.
So, to multi, you'll need to open multiple terminals and start the package in each of them.
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.
Thus, you cannot LD and relog with this entire package (as of yet). If you do LD, you have to relog, quit properly, relog.
You *MUST* quit properly. (Only exception is getting kicked off at reboot. Welcome screen DOES appear on next login in that case)
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 for get 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) 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
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.

Alias for (#var target MOB) say target MOB Same k MOB Same. kil MOB Same. bs MOB Same. vom MOB Same. Other initial attack commands could be setup similarly so that your attack itself sets the target.
On/Off switches
sancon/sancoff requaff sanctuary potion upon expiration message
trueon/trueoff requaff truesight potion upon expiration message
shieldsup/shieldsdown request for fresh elem-shelds upon expiration via 'say SPELLNAME' (mage must be present)

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.

Basic Utilities
This script is heavily commented, so it may just be best to read it directly. Sets up the majority of the basic command aliases and simple triggers.
/newtin/scripts/basic_utilities.tin
Synopsis -Watches prompt to grab hp/maxHP variables, does a subtraction to get 'damage' variable. -Trigger a "IF damaged, heal. ELSE, hit" statement upon seeing output of 'version' mud command -Replace the output of ver "SMAUG 2.1" with "AUTOFIGHTING" just for visual clarification of what's happenin -Targetting/Hit variable setting aliases -Heal alising & 'getting full/drink spring' management -Recall alias -Auto Style (style %0 until successful) -Auto Tracking -Auto re-search, re-dig -DISARMS trigger -DH potion buyer char alias and triggering -Tankset alias -Elemental shield item aliases -Anti-Idle auto-save ticker
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 gojade From exit of chaos maze, go to outside Jade's room. 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};
CURRENT AREA LOCATIONS AVAILABLE:

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, 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.
There are two aliases contained here which set up your variables after enabling the above with 'varseton'
findcons (does 'finditem heal' and 'finditem recall' to find potion and item containers (my setup is to keep things sorted as such) setinv (does 'exam $pot_con' and 'exam $item_con' to set 'on-hand' quantities for tracked items defined in inv_vars.tin
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.
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 acset %0 Manually set a piece of eq for entry. Use the FULL descriptive name of the object as shown in 'eq' 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)
(I'm not sure what to set weapons/lights AC to as of yet, since we remove at ac '5' something like 9 seems safeish. Will gather more input. 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 $eqlist[%0][ac] by -1 anytime it sees the message '%0 gets damaged'.
Screenshots
ReCasting
newtin/scripts/nonfight_recast.tin
This needs fully revised, and should prrrrobably just be disabled for now. (comment it out of newtin/mod_config.tin)
When NOT fighting ($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 ($fighting var = 1), failure message triggers "version" (triggers my heal/hit triggers)
This is basically currently geared for auto re-hitting with a mage/ceric via qspike or virtue. The logic would go: VERSION -> check health -> IF necessary (heal + rerun version) ELSE -> cast hit spell FAILED -> rerun version SUCCESS -> rerun version
See point 7 of To Do list below for plans to identify WHICH spells have failed and recast those specifically.
Misc
Custom Prompt
Custom prompting via tintin works by staging the tintin #prompt command to pattern match your in-game prompt, and then substitute/rearrange that however you want.
The tintin prompt is useful because you can configure it to include tintin variables, and MSDP data.
Split Mode
Custom prompts in tintin only work when in #split mode. The command is simple and I have even-simpler aliases:
Command to split or unsplit the screen: #split #unsplit Alias setup in main.tin line unline
Pattern Matching
In the default package the custom prompts match my own preferred game prompt. You may have to tweak things for your own liking.
Mana Users
Custom prompting for mana users is configured in /newtin/genres/magics.tin
The customized prompt actually mirrors my in-game prompt exactly, but adds the variables for heals-on-hand and truesights-on-hand.
The In-Game Prompt vs. the tintin customized prompt:
Regular (non-fighting) prompt:
ingame: &G(Dyerdex) ^x&R%h/%Hhp &C%m/%Mmn &G%v/%Vmv &O$%g &g%a &c%A%f
tintin: #PROMPT {(%1) %2/%3hp %4/%5mn %6/%7mv %8 %9 %10} {<020>(%1) <010>%2/%3hp <060>%4/%5mn <020>%6/%7mv <030>%8 <070>%9 <020>%10 <060>$OHheals\HL <070>$OHtrues\TS}
Fighting Prompt (fprompt)
ingame: &G(Dyerdex)&rF ^x&R%h/%Hhp &C%m/%Mmn &G%v/%Vmv &O$%g &g%a &c%A%f &C%c &W.:&Y%L&W:.

The only differences is the "18HL 1TS" which means I have 18 heals and 1 truesight within my potion container ($pot_con variable).
Eventually, I will include MSDP variables in the prompt. However at the current time MSDP support is broken for realms.
Non-Mana Users
Custom prompting for non-mana users is configured in /newtin/genres/nonmagics.tin
Again, the tintin prompt mirrors the in-game prompt, but adds the heals-on-hand and truesights-on-hand variables.
Reg-Prompt:
ingame: &G(Durunex) ^x&R%h/%Hhp &G%v/%Vmv &O$%g &g%a &c%A%f

Restock/Reset
Eventual plan is to have a full 'character reset' alias that would:
1. Recall 2. Repair 3. Restock to specific quotas 4. ReFavor 5. Potentially even return to 'last area' gone to.
Recall/Repair are scripted. Refavor will take 2 seconds. Restocking is in the works, then must put em all together in one big alias.
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
Alias: restock
Usage: Must be in DS donation room. Will 'restock' up to defined "Minimum" quotas.
Only heals, trues, sancs, create-springs are currently tracked. Will add the rest once this much works perfectly.
"Minimum" Quotas must be specified in newtin/scripts/inventory.tin (should add aliasing to set these more easily)
#VAR {min_heals} {100}
#VAR {min_trues} {5}
#VAR {min_sancs} {5}
#VAR {min_springs} {5}
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 'get' 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. Get's 100 heals and puts them in 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
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 $target variable (multiple aliases for this, see #Hit_.26_Target_Commands
ALIAS: fighton
This alias reads in the necessary triggers to cause additional 'version' commands which restart the loop indefinitely. Triggers re-start the loop by doing 'version' upon hit messages. Currently supported hit messages: Your circle Your leap Your suspiric grasp Your rending grip Your smash You lunge (smash miss) %0 leaving him stunned! You try to stun (stun miss) Your blast of air
ALIAS: fightoff
Disables the triggers above so that hit messages do not trigger further 'version' commands to restart the loop.
Logic
When we see the Fprompt if you're not currently flagged as 'fighting'($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)
Remote Control
There is a toggle which enables characters to receive command from remote characters via 'say'.
boton/botoff Setup in /newtin/scripts/onoffs.tin
Currently, the only 'say' commands setup are:
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)
Additional TO DO
1. Add more 'remote control' commands so that tank can say/tell things to bots for specific actions.
-May convert all these to 'tells' to reduce public room spam. Could also control characters from entirely different areas, could be neat)
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. Bug-Fix: sometimes too many 'version' commands are issued and they start firing in sets of 2 or 3. Figure out why.
(Currently, if you see 2 "AUTOFIGHTING" messages in a clump, spam fightoff until that stops, then fighton again)
-I think the bug occurs when you drop a potion maybe-
To Do
1. In general, I need to really figure out how to better handle the names of in game objects in scripting:
-For DISARM triggers, to account for things like Nasr, punctuation, and weapons where the first term is not a keyword. -For All sorts of other stuff. The inventory management stuff, eq damage tracking, lots.
2. Figure out how to get all the variable setting for pot/item containers and inventory stock numbers done in one command or auto on login.
-- #ALIAS {setall} {varseton;findcons;setinv;varsetoff} does NOT work for some reason.
Hypothesis: All commands in THIS string are processed before 'child' commands they initiate.
Idea1: expand this into one fully written out script with no calls to other stuff.
Idea2: string a few things along so that they trigger one another after each required step is done, using arbitrary game commands/emotes/socials/etc.
3. EQ Damage Tracking
One way or the other, figure out how to store the item key word, maxAC, watch for hits and adjust current AC. Remove at 2AC.
Needed bits:
1. The maxAC of the worn equipment.
-setup a 'eqscan' type thing that makes this easy
-Setup triggers upon the output of 'identify' to capture maxAC, cast id on everything.
-Second: setup a script to automate or psuedo-automate casting identify all your eq?
2. The keyword for each piece of eq
-will probably manually enter those, too hard to pull it out of each items name due to variation.
3. The mud text when an item is damaged. (specific item names required? or %0 good enough? Test.)
4. Actions to subtract from maxAC var giving currentAC var when eq is damaged
5. Actions to remove $item when currentAC < 2 (or probably 3 to be safe)
6. Action/Alias to simply display this info in some nice format for spot checking eq damage.
7. Probably something that watches 'garb' or 'wear/remove' messages, and notifies me shit needs updated when I change eq?
Longterm: maintain a 'database' type file of all eq and it's maxAC, so don't have to identify everything each time.
--Associative Array, figure out #list command usage. Once all items in list, way easier to manage.
--Action on 'wear' messages to lookup the eqname in the 'database' and set maxAC/keyword vars from that
4. Once realms fixes MSDP support, MSDP integration.
5. 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?
