SF vs. Wizard

[hectomaner]

so i use SF when playing, and thats what all my scripts are for. well my computer at work sucks balls and i'd really like to be able to play with wizard at work, it runs 1000000% better than SF does. and i want to get my scripts working on wizard so i can use em at work.

so, what, if any, are the differences in the engines for the 2 front ends. like what will i have to change on my SF scripts to make them work in wizard. i can put up one of them for example if needed

WUT HAPPENT 2 TEH VERGINA AVTAR??

[Artha]

SF has a % after user defined variables, whereas wizard does not. (%sword% would become %sword, for example). You also have to use the default variable names in the wizard, I forget where to look, but they're easy to find. And the wizard will get ahead of itself much easier than SF because it doesn't auto-pause, so you'll need to (probably) add pauses/waitfors into any script involving RT.

[hectomaner]

people complained at my uber use of the vergina for avatarious purposes, so i was told the complaints were going to kranar and was hinted towards removing it, so i removed it, currently concockting a suitable avatar to depict sand in ones vagina, for obvious reasons


and yeah the scripts seem to get stuck by moving to fast and hanging up, i did know about the %1 vs %1%, but what do you mean by default variable names?

[Artha]

but what do you mean by default variable names?

Default variables like %weapon, %sheath, %shield etc. They're in some menu on the Wizard and don't exist for SF.

Remove the punctuation from

checkroom:
put look
match filter a wraith.
match filter a wraith,

[hectomaner]

nope, didnt do it

[Nieninque]

checkroom:
put look
match filter wraith
match S%c Sorry, you may only type ahead
match S%c You can't go there
match S%c I could not find what
match S%c Obvious paths:
match S%c Obvious exits:

filter:
put look
match S%c Also here:
match attack Obvious paths:

Try that.

Putting the filter stuff in the checkroom part was redundant and probably confusing it.

[hectomaner]

thanks, i'll give it a try

[Electrawn]

This ones easy.

Change...

checkroom:
put look
match filter a wraith.
match filter a wraith,
match filter a wraith and
match S%c Also here:
match S%c Sorry, you may only type ahead
match S%c You can't go there

to

Now your scripts will work in the Wizard.

Do your MATCHs before sending the command to be matched against. Then a MATCHWAIT.

I always thought that was more of a style thing than anything else. I've always had the matches after and my scripts work.

FINALLY, heh, i needed to set monsterbold off, now it works and i'm happy
