403 lock pick enhancement

[Tgo01]

Okay you have Lock Pick Enhancement (403) set to "yes" and Use Lmaster Focus left blank and it never casts 403?

[Tgo01]

Yay more changes!

Version 397: The pop feature (which uses 407 and 408 to open boxes) can now be used when doing locksmith pool boxes. Script has to be started with both "worker" and "pop" command line variables, for example ;tpick worker pop
Version 397: New setting under the "Popping" tab: "Pick enruned" Set this to "yes" to manually pick all enruned and mithril boxes while using the "pop" feature. This of course means you need lockpick training and you need lockpicks.
Version 397: New setting under the "Yet More Other" tab: "Don't show commands" Set this to "yes" to not show commands the script sends to the game.
Version 397: Split the "Spells" tab into two tabs: "Spells" and "More Spells." This won't affect your current settings.
Version 397: Both Celerity (506) and Rapid Fire (515) have been added as options under the "More Spells" tab.

[Tgo01]

Version 398: Updated some feedback messages. Also there was a bug with using some features of Lock Mastery Focus if you didn't know 403 or 404. These bugs should be fixed now. Also the formula for picklock and disarm bonus from using Lock Mastery Focus was wrong, this should be corrected now too.
Version 399: Bug fix.
Version 400: Script should now recognize "tool kits" as locksmith containers when using ;tpick buy command.
Version 401: More bug fixes with the auto feature for 403 and 404.
Version 402: Bug fix.
Version 403: Fixed bug with script grabbing lockpicks from any container instead of the specified lockpick container.
Version 404: Script can now find your locksmith's container if it's in another container.
Version 405: New option: The "Unlock (407)" setting under the "More Spells" tab can now be set to "vial" to use 407 on non-enruned/mithril plated boxes and use a vial on enruned/mithril plated boxes. Save those vials for the tough plated boxes!

[Tgo01]

And you for sure have the latest version?

[Tgo01]

What is line 8032 in your version of Lich? I apparently have an older version :p

[gilchristr]

How do I find that out?

[Tgo01]

How do I find that out?

If you have a program like Notepad++ you can open up the Lich script in your Lich folder and Notepad++ has each line numbered.

It all good though. I'll take a look at this later tonight. It's just strange because I can't seem to replicate the issue.

[Tgo01]

Can you send me a message with all of your ;tpick settings via doing ;vars list?

[gilchristr]

Here is the same problem again today:

hoppers toting bundles or hefting sacks over their shoulders. Young lads swarm around, offering to help carry your goods for a few spare coppers. From the west wafts an aroma of fresh foods, meats, cheeses and breads that causes your mouth to water. Off in a secluded corner you see an area where a table has been surrounded by some partitions, affording some privacy for customers who choose to dine here. You also see an acid-pitted iron box, a badly damaged modwir strongbox, a simple maoral trunk, a weathered thanot coffer, a sturdy steel box, a badly damaged silver box, a weathered monir box, an enruned maoral box, an enruned modwir box, a sturdy gold box, the Witbier disk and the Avignon disk.

[Tgo01]

Which version of lich you using? I thought you were using the latest version but I just updated to the latest version and it only goes up to line 5634 :p

[gilchristr]

"--- Lich v4.6.58 is active. Type ;help for usage info."

[Tgo01]

"--- Lich v4.6.58 is active. Type ;help for usage info."

Weird. At this point I would probably need to know what line 8032 in your Lich says, or you might want to try updating to the latest version of Lich.

If you don't want to update Lich you can download Notepad++ and open up your Lich file in Notepad++ and see what line number 8032 is.

[gilchristr]

Ill try updating it. I thought this was something that happened automatically... I didnt know I had to manually update it.

[Tgo01]

Ill try updating it. I thought this was something that happened automatically... I didnt know I had to manually update it.

Yeah you're actually several versions behind, I think it's up to 5.6something now.

I have no idea if this will fix the issue you're having, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

[nitefallz]

How feasible would it be to incorporate a call to ;maxlock2 locksize to determine which lockpick to use based on caliper readings?

[Tgo01]

How feasible would it be to incorporate a call to ;maxlock2 locksize to determine which lockpick to use based on caliper readings?

I'm not sure. Is the built in function not working?

[nitefallz]

I'm not sure. Is the built in function not working?

My apologies. I think it is, not sure if I'm still confused on the settings or if there's a slightly different logic path for doing guild reps using ;tpick (worker) vs ;tpick (worker) v. I was just watching more closely and after tweaking some blanking out max lock, and max lock roll, it seemed to select the correct pick for the locksize. Still trying to figure why trap lore doesn't always cast for traps I need it for. I'm guessing I had trap roll set to 305 which if I'm understanding better now, it would try my max trap + 305 over. -25 should be a better choice. This script is pretty awesome so far, so it's more than likely I'm just being dumb with it still

[nitefallz]

Also just turned silent mode off to see the calculations

Yeah there has been a lot of settings and features added into the script over the years.

The trap roll setting determines what difficulty trap you are willing to try. Entering 0 would only attempt traps that are equal to your trap skill + trap lore. A setting of 305 would attempt traps 305 higher than your trap skill + trap lore. If it's not using trap lore when it should it might be an issue with the 404 setting under the Spells tab.

[Tgo01]

Also using the command line variable "v" always uses a vaalin lockpick, so if that's what you're using then it won't use calipers.

[nitefallz]

I did just encounter this, basically no lore was cast when it should've been

Can you copy and paste your ;tpick settings via ;vars list?

You can either post them here or send me a private message.

Dreaven, you were right about updating Lich. I got that done today, and now tpick is working again

[Tgo01]

Dreaven, you were right about updating Lich. I got that done today, and now tpick is working again

Woot woot!

[Silvanostar]

dreaven, any chance you can add a sell function like sloot/eloot? when the script goes to the bank to deposit silvers, it could run the selling part

[Tgo01]

dreaven, any chance you can add a sell function like sloot/eloot? when the script goes to the bank to deposit silvers, it could run the selling part

Sure. Done.

Version 413: You can now enter the name of your selling script in the setting "Auto deposit silvers", and whenever you are encumbered while pool picking the script will run your selling script before picking more boxes. You can still enter "yes" if you don't want to run a selling script. Script will deposit silvers in both cases.

I didn't actually test this because I'm lazy, so let me know if it works properly or not.

[Tgo01]

My bad, uploaded a new version that now takes command line variables.

So for example you would enter: sloot sell

[Silvanostar]

2 issues:
1. i'm guessing tpick checks encumbrance when you start it up? it will run sloot sell without actually moving my locksmith to the appropriate npc
2. the pick/disarm part of the script seems to start up before sloot is completely done

[Tgo01]

1. i'm guessing tpick checks encumbrance when you start it up? it will run sloot sell without actually moving my locksmith to the appropriate npc

The script should be started when you're already in the room with the NPC, in which case it should work fine even if it does the encumbrance check first.


2. the pick/disarm part of the script seems to start up before sloot is completely done

Should be fixed now.

[Taernath]

Where is the 'always use vaalin' setting?

[Tgo01]

Where is the 'always use vaalin' setting?

You can either start the script with "v" command line (for example ;tpick v) or in the setup menu under the "More Other" tab set "calibrate on start" to "never"

[Tgo01]

Yay! Another update!

Version 429: There is now a "Monster Bold" option under the "Yet More Other" tab. Setting this to "no" will stop using Monster Bold color for almost all messages.

Version 429: Lockpick settings under the Lockpick tabs now show modifier values as well as the material of lockpick commonly associated with said modifier.

Version 429: Added four new lockpick settings under the Lockpick tabs. These settings are: 0.80 mod (Detrimental), 0.90 mod (Ineffectual), 1.85 mod (Mein), 2.00 mod (Accurate).
These values aren't typically found on common lockpicks, however if you use a lower/higher quality lockpick your lockpick could match these values. For most people you can ignore these settings and the script will fill them in with settings from higher quality lockpicks.

Version 429: Rogues with at least 20 ranks of Lock Mastery can now do ;tpick scan. Scanning lockpicks will use LMAS APPRAISE on each lockpick in your lockpick container and will automatically assign lockpicks based on their MODIFIER, not the lockpick's MATERIAL. This should result in more accurate lockpicking since a lockpick's modifier doesn't necessarily match the lockpick's material. If using this feature keep in mind that ;tpick repair won't be able to repair any lockpicks that are assigned to a setting that doesn't match its material.

Version 429: Filling out settings in ;tpick setup should be less confusing to users new to ;tpick. All required settings will now have a default setting, all optional settings will be left blank. If a required setting is left blank it will revert to the default option for that setting. Required settings which must be changed will state "CHANGE" at the beginning of the setting, all other required settings can be left on their default setting. This way users only have to fill out a few settings (which will clearly state "CHANGE") to get started and they can fiddle with the other settings as they get more used to the script.

[gilchristr]

OK i have a suggestion. Make a new lockpick... a "superior" vaalin lockpick (they are created using lock mastering).

That way we can use our regular vaalin lockpick for most boxes, and save the "superior" one for special cases.

I can look into it.

[gilchristr]

I am still using tpick and love it.

However, something went wrong today, and i'm not sure what, and it made a dumb attempt with my vaalin lockpick. See below for the summary and the log. This never used to happen and I didnt deliberately change settings, is there something I need to check in the setting though so this doesnt happen?

1) Im a bard, and it didn't loresing to the box to check its lock size. It never used to do this; AND

2) it "lost track" that 403 was down... it should have brought 403 back up after 403 was terminated by 407 casts. So without 403 up, it resulted in the pick breaking

It won't check for lock difficulty when using the "Always use vaalin when fried" setting.

What do you have set for the 403 setting in the setup menu?

Which version of Lich are you using?

[gilchristr]

To answer your question about 403, I have it set to YES. Would I get more reliable use of 403, if I change this to AUTO?

Ok I change the "always use vaalin when fried" to NO, thanks for that information.

I am using Lich 5.6.0


Thanks for the help with this!

[Tgo01]

"yes" should be fine in that setting.

This should be fixed now.

In order to use ;tpick to batter my warrior's own boxes...do i simply populate the "batter weapon" field and tpick will know to disarm than batter? any other steps to get it working for a solo batterer?

You need to use the command line variable "bash" to bash open boxes.

So for example: ;tpick ground bash

Then your warrior should disarm any traps then bash open the box.

TYVM!

I am working on a large update to ;tpick. It will have a GUI, I cleaned up the settings page and added tooltips to every setting to make it more clear what each setting does, I have started cleaning up the 10+ year old code, plus other changes.

The new version isn't quite ready yet but it's almost there. In the meantime I have uploaded what I have so far as ;test-tpick and it would be great if people can help me test it to find any bugs or offer up any suggestions before I release the final version.

The script will automatically import over most of your ;tpick settings to the new way settings will work. You won't lose your ;tpick settings so you can go back to regular ol' ;tpick if you want.

[Tgo01]

Oh yeah, Version 1 of ;test-tpick probably wasn't working for anyone who was already using ;tpick because the script looks to see if you have UserVars.tpick settings already and imports those settings to the new way of doing settings, when the script is finished it will then delete UserVars.tpick. Your character already having UserVars.tpick settings is how the script knows if this is your first time running the new version.

But since I don't want to delete anyone's ;tpick settings until the script is ready the script isn't deleting your UserVars.tpick settings so the script always thinks this is your first time running the script.

I changed it for now so the script just looks to see if you have the "Tpick Settings" file in your Lich folder and if not then it will import everything over.

tl;dr: Download ;test-tpick again and run it again if you want to help test it.

[Tgo01]

Fixed some bugs with ;test-tpick:

Version 4: Fixed bug with ground picking not working properly.
Version 5: Fixed bug with containers not being recognized by script.
Version 5: Also if script can't find your Vaalin Lockpick it will tell you immediately and exit the script.

You download and test now!

[Tgo01]

Thank you to everyone who has been helping me test out ;test-tpick. I have uploaded the final version of ;test-tpick (unless some bugs are found) and if anyone wants to download it and test it out that would be great. If no bugs are found then I will delete ;test-tpick off the repo and replace ;tpick with this new version. If anyone would prefer to not use this new version of ;tpick (even though it's way cooler than the current version) then I have uploaded the current version of ;tpick on the repo as ;old-tpick so you can always download it. Note ;old-tpick will not be receiving any updates whereas the new ;tpick will.

[Tgo01]

Uploaded the latest version of ;tpick to the repo. This version comes with a GUI and and and...well lots of new features. If you were using ;test-tpick it's probably a good idea to delete these files from your Lich folder before using the latest version of ;tpick : 'Tpick Settings' and 'Tpick Stats' Probably won't hurt anything if you don't delete the files but just in case.

I have also uploaded the old version of ;tpick as ;old-tpick in case you want to keep using that version, although that version won't be receiving anymore updates.

And a big thank you to everyone who helped me test out ;test-tpick before I rolled out the update to the main ;tpick script.

The new tpick isn't loresinging for me when the option is checked.

[Tgo01]

Well that's not good. I'll check it in a few minutes here.

[Tgo01]

The new tpick isn't loresinging for me when the option is checked.

I just tested it and it worked for me.

What is the script doing when it comes time to pick the lock? Does it grab a vaalin lockpick? What the script say what it is doing when it is trying to pick the lock?

[ButterBacon]

I usually have the messages suppressed - I was fried when it didn't loresing. I waited until I wasn't fried and now it loresings.

Turns out I had use Vaalin when fried checked and that must override the loresinging setting. I unchecked and now it loresings when fried too. Thanks for looking into it.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting how the settings work? It's attempting to open this box even though the adjusted Lock difficulty is showing as higher than the calculated lock skill.

It looks like it also had a problem turning the box in and reattempted the same one from the beginning.




You sense the item has some sort of magic resistance. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the trunk is as a container of some kind with a maximum interior capacity of 200 pounds with room for up to nine items. It has an intricate lock on it (between -800 and -835 in thief-lingo difficulty ranking).

I don't think that's a bug anymore - I think it's because I had max roll with Vaalin at 60 and max roll in general at 50 and there was only 10 difference that accounted for it.

I think it still displayed lock calc with the general setting, but used the Vaalin one to proceed. I set the Vaalin roll to 50 to match - so it should turn down the -800 and -835 range now. I'll post again if it doesn't.

[ButterBacon]

Update: it did attempt to pick the next -800 to -835 range box.

Maybe I'm just misinterpreting how it's supposed to work. I'm thinking the reroll setting probably comes into play after the 1st attempt and with a roll higher, and it's the max lock setting that's being used.

I adjusted by setting the max lock setting to 800 directly instead of using a negative there. That should do it. Thanks for looking.

[kutter]

Does it matter that I have several settings that show up as red no matter what I set them to? The script seems to be running fine, I guess I am just weird about seeing stuff in red.

Actually it seems it was not running fine, for some reason it did not import the setting to use lmaster focus and it broke 4 vaalin picks before I caught it, good thing it is only monopoly money.

The lock roll setting just determines when you move to a higher lock pick. If you have it set to 50 for example, and you roll a 60 (which is higher than 50), then the script will move on to a higher lock pick.

If you want to turn down boxes based on lock difficulty you should use the Max Lock setting.

Red settings just mean those settings have to be filled out for the script to work properly. They are always in red.

Tgo is there a way to not have the tpick box show up in the extreme left hand corner of the left most monitor? I have a TV on my system and it is not really in front of me, so when it shows up I have to drag it all the way over to the monitor I use. I know this seems a little silly to worry about but with the TV I drive 4 monitors, it being the most far left one.

I think you can move it and save the position so the next time you start up the script it will be where you last had it.
