View Full Version : Capped monk hunting nelemar with some scripting questions

Alright, so I'm about a double capped level monk. Here's my stats:
101 ranks in transformation
202 in stalking and hiding
202 in ambush
202 in brawling
3x pt
3x dodging
40 in the minor spiritual circle
35 in the minor mental circle
heavily crit padded robes (for iron skin)
Swimming (37)
and MOC 35

I've upped my swimming ranks from 30 to 37. I noticed at 30 ranks though to swim there i almost died. Going back some some major injuries, I had to voln fog, and couldn't even swim out. I mostly got major injuries because I was taking on 3 at a time, and got casted at a couple times. My DS Is quite high. Most of them can't hit me, or I dodge. TD Is not too bad with the 140 spells.

What swimming ranks is good for nelemar?

Here's, I need a script somehow to modify bigshot if someone has any ideas. I'd appreciate any help I can get:

1) It needs to hide once per room. Sometimes I get caught hiding, even with 2x hiding, so once per room is enough, otherwise, resort to starting the combo script if hiding fails.
2) I have 153 mana. It needs to ocassionally (say every 3 minutes) cast spirit strike. It also needs to cast web relatively often, about every 2 minutes when mana permits. it needs to run when there's more than one in a room. It's best to cast web once I'm in the room with the creature.
It would be a good idea to check mana and not cast if under 40.
3) It have 197 stamina, and in voln. I mostly need to target the spectrals, (undead). It needs to keep up the cmans burst and weave as often as possible and do a stamina check. Duck and weave (weave) should be cast once every 3 minutes, for 30 stamina. Or once every 1.5 minutes for 90 stamina (it costs more to use again). Burst needs to be cast every 4 minutes (cman burst and cman weave are the two).
4) And finally, that's it. Once last thing. if injuries are too bad to swim out, the script needs to do a something and have a back up.
First, it needs to try and cast 130. Last time I was in there, I was too injured to cast 130. (Said I couldn't make any dextrous movements).
The second mention needs to be symbol of return, which costs alot of voln favor. if that fails, the only option is to swim out with the injuries if there are any.

Is this going to be a very complicated script to make up? It needs to go with sbounty or just for now bigshot.
I can't really figure out how to hunt without it. I mean, I could just do combo, but I want at least refresh cman surge, burst and weave. and I don't know how to do that with a script. I also want to cast here and there, but don't know how to do that with bigshot. Otherwise, if I can do that on bigshot and forgo the script, great.

I just hope this isn't too hard of a script to make and someone will be generous enough to help me design it. I have absolutely no knowledge of ruby or any coding or scripting, unfortunately.

If you get this figured out post it up. Might modify it to do my taxes!

I'd wager that the vast majority of us had no prior ruby knowledge, either. It's not that hard to learn, you just need to try instead of relying on other people to write shit for you. I highly doubt someone is going to half-write a huntscript for you.

As far as keeping cmans up I'm pretty sure bigshot is already designed for that. Just use the spell code number thingie for the cman you want to keep up in the "spells to keep active" field.

I'm thinking I need to do this. As long as all types of ruby are the same, then there seem to be a ton of resources on it

I may be wrong as I haven't really dug into what methods bigshot uses to cast spells, but since I have written scripts for both surge and burst, something must have been wrong. There was a time when some of the cmans weren't being tracked properly as far as the cooldown timer went, so that could have been the main issue I had that led to making the scripts; I can't remember. Anyhow, I would suggest making a script for them anyway because bigshot will fire those bitches up before you even leave for the hunting area, which, on short durations like burst, kinda sucks. My script fixes that problem.

Yep, there are. I've been able to pick up quite a bit from just sitting in the code channel and sifting through other people's scripts, but there are some good website-based resources as well. In addition to ruby sites, use rubular.com to help with your regex syntax.

Ah, I'm not familiar with most cmans. Didn't know burst had a short duration.

I totally agree with learning ruby and writing your own hunting script though. Bigshot is nice but it's so much better to be able to customize your own script to do exactly what you want it to do. Couple of months ago I first started learning ruby and now I've created my own hunting script that will automatically get and do bounties without any input from me required. Hell I used to dread getting forage bounties because I thought they were such a pain in the ass but after scripting for it I realized they aren't even that bad anyways, they're just easier with a script doing it all.

Of course I had to ask a lot of questions around here and still ask questions. I don't think anyone would mind answering some questions you have in regards to writing your own script. Things like "How would I get this to work".
