Pickup Gems

[StrayRogue]

How can I set my script to pick up a gem if a particular creature drops it? In the Wizard, btw.

1. Step up a table of matches for all expected gems to be dropped.
2. Have each gem go to a string that labels a %S as the gem type
3. Loop all of them to a string that looks like:

put take %s
wait
put open my container
wait
put put my %s in my container
wait
put close my container
wait
goto matchtable

[StrayRogue]

Hmm, my match table for gems is going to be over the maximum limit. If I pick up a gem that isn't on my first match table, how do I set it to go to a second?

[Nakiro]

You don't.

Or you use SF which doesn't have a match table limit. Or you simply make a script that has multiple match tables, each designed with a specific area for hunting in mind, and then use a command line variable to designate the match table when choosing a hunting area.

[StrayRogue]

Bah. Thanks though Nakiro. It just means I'm going to have to do some extensive research, unless someone knows all the gems kiramon happen to drop.

[StrayRogue]

Oh yeah, how do I skin using my left hand?

[Nakiro]

skin crittur with my left

or

skin crittur with my specified-item

[StrayRogue]

Thanks

[Nakiro]

Welcome.

You can always do the auto pickup thing in GS then just put the gem away.

[Nakiro]

That'd work if you were to make sure it was something you'd want.

1. set flag lefthand on
2. do a match or waitfor for "you pick up"
3. set a match table for the items you want to match, trigger it with glance
4. repeat if necessary by matching to another match table with "in your left hand."
5. if no match is found use "drop my left".
6. if a match is found use (you can match for boxes this way too):
put my left in my container
7. match to make sure it goes in by matching for "you put" and "won't fit"
8. create another set of instructions to change the container variable (it can be a save, or a command line using shift)

yah something like that.

[StrayRogue]

Hmmm, why not then just loot critter, stow l, with matches set in case my container is full?

The only other consideration then is that kiramon occasionally drop more than 1 gem at a time.

[Nakiro]

you can do that but you'll be picking up some garbage too

[Gan]

Just set your gem match table for only the mid/high end gems that way your gem table will be smaller.

[StrayRogue]

The problem is I'd have to find out which gems Kiramon drop specifically. That means research. Research I cannot be bothered to do.

[Gan]

That means regional research, because EN Kiramon drop different styles of gems as compared to Darkstone Kiramon or Teras Kiramon.

I think your best bet is the open handed looting with a stow command. Half of a double gem drop is better than none at all. That especially goes for the lack of time for research method.

You can work around the match limit in Wizard. Just have the 32nd match be "Obvious exits" and have it go to label where you put another look and have a second match table. I had to put a pause in, but I am 100% positive it works. I don't really think you need more than 31 matches for just gems, though. Because I'm feeling generous:

match sapphire sapphire
match ruby ruby
match diamond diamond
match lapis lapis
match pearl pearl
match coral coral
match opal opal
match topaz topaz
match tourmaline tourmaline
match garnet garnet
match gem gem
match quartz quartz
match zircon zircon
match spinel spinel
match stone stone

If they drop smooth stones or heavy quartz orbs, it's still doable. If they drop both, you'll need to pick one of the gems or have multiple match tables as described above.

Teras or EN, dunno, but there is a site with how much each gem is generally worth (which I really wish I had bookmarked).

[StrayRogue]

Excellent idea. Thanks.

[Gan]

Here's the only gem guide I've seen. Its a little old though.

Gems (http://hometown.aol.com/Jypta/gems.html)

[hectomaner]

just do the loot/stow left


kiramon dont drop junk, only gems. only problem will be when they double drop, and if you talk to wilvar, i think it was, he setup a script to loot the double drops

Shame I use the wizard, as posted, which makes the above useless.

[Meges]

That match table Greg posted is not useless for the FE. Just do the double or triple look "technique" to sidestep the match limit like mentioned earlier. Divide that table into 2 or 3 labels. At least you won't have to type all those gems out; it's already done for you. You can also add other items, like boxes, scrolls, wands, skins etc., and you can add other containers, but you'd need to change the "PICKUP" label a bit and add a couple of others.

An example, or template if you will, that you'd obviously need to tailor to your own needs. (My apologies on the lack of indentation, but those didn't seem to want to carry over to here).:


MainLoop:

Match LOOK1 You search whatever critter
Match LOOK1 get123

#You can type get123, or whatever you specify at any time to make the script cycle through your pickup actions.

Match LOOK1 ...

#Whatever else you can think of that you might want to trigger the script to start picking items up from the floor.

Matchwait

LOOK1:
Put Look

Match GET gem1
Match GET gem2
Match GET gem3
Match LOOK2 obvious exit

#Use the above match if there's more than 31 gem types in your hunting grounds. "Obvious exit" is not a gem type...

Matchwait

LOOK2:
Put Look

Match GET gem33
Match GET gem34
Match GET gem35
Match LOOK3 obvious exit

#Use the above match if there's more than 63 gem types.

Matchwait

LOOK3:
Put Look

Match GET gem65
Match ...

#Same type of deal as the other "LOOK%" labels.

Match DONE obvious exit

Matchwait

GEM1:
SAVE gem1
Goto PICKUP
GEM2:
SAVE gem2
Goto PICKUP
GEM3:
SAVE gem3
Goto PICKUP
GEM4:
SAVE gem4
Goto PICKUP

#Etc., ad nauseum

PICKUP:

Put Shea
Waitfor .
Put Get %s
Waitfor .

Put Stow r
Waitfor .

Put power
Waitfor Mana

#The "power" put above is in case your script starts matching the gem you're putting up, which happens and causes the script to malfunction and "run away" on you.

goto Look1

DONE:

Put unshe
Waitfor .

#Once you unsheathe your weapon, you're obviously ready to move on.

Goto MainLoop

At any rate, maybe this will help you out. I'm not claiming that this is a perfect script by any means, but it'll give you a general idea of what some of the people here have been saying. Also, you might consider turning off your room description (set desc off), because a script like this will scroll your screen a bit from multiple LOOKs, but at least you won’t have to type...

[StrayRogue]

Heh, thats great. Thankyou.

[Meges]

I just noticed an error in that example I posted, which would cause it not to work. Each one of those "GET" matches should actually be a label for each specific gem. Like below.

LOOK1:
Put Look

Match SAP sapphire
Match DIA diamond
Match STO stone
Match LOOK2 obvious exit
#Etc.
Matchwait

#Then you'd have labels that would save the name of the stone for pickup. This part of the script could be pretty large depending on how many items you want to specify to be picked up.

SAP:
SAVE sapphire
Goto PICKUP

DIA:
SAVE diamond
Goto PICKUP

STO:
SAVE stone
Goto PICKUP

#Etc.

I was in a rush when I posted. Sorry about that.
