;loot exclude regex

[oneillseanm]

I'm looking for a bit of ;loot help if anyone's willing.

I'd like to set up a regex for excludes, having loot pass on black ora and massive glaes clubs (unless someone can tell me how to have ;loot put them in a disk). I had thought it would be as simple as this -

;loot exclude=black ora|glaes club

- but I seem to be missing something. Massive glaes clubs are being picked up. Also, this is all I see for excludes when I ;loot list -


exclude: black

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Thank you!

I've never seen such racist coding.

[oneillseanm]

My intention, I promise, is to exclude all-inclusively.

[Whirlin]

But, in all honesty, I'm not sure if ;loot ever worked fully for exclude lists... I know Sloot2 supposedly works with exclude lists, and Sloot4 (in development) is planned to utilize that feature... but I'm not familiar with ;loot.

Loot exclude lists work for me. It looks like you're doing the commands correctly so I don't know what's going on. What happens if you exclude just black Ora? Still shows just black in the list?

[oneillseanm]

Still just shows black.

Yes, I had to do the regex individually when I set mine up. So, you need to:

;loot exclude=black ora
;loot exclude=glaes club

I would probably be a little more specific with the latter. It sounds like you are rejecting them to keep the encumberance down. I had excluded weapons for the same reason, but it was excluding all jeddart-axes so it rejected a treasure-system-generated jeddart-axe. Turned out to be only somewhat weighted, but still a nice chunk of change at the pawnshop.

What happens if you do white Ora? Still shows black? At least that would show the setting isn't changing and not that it's just accepting the first word.

[Tgo01]

Yes, I had to do the regex individually when I set mine up. So, you need to:

;loot exclude=black ora
;loot exclude=glaes club

I'm pretty sure if you do this you override the previous value so your list should would just have glaes club.

[oneillseanm]

Clearing it and changing it to

;loot exclude=massive glaes club

provides some results, however. The clubs aren't being picked up, but the settings still show as


exclude: massive

That's my understanding as well.

This is apparently a bug when changing settings while the script is still running. Fixed and uploaded.

Hmm...looks like you're right. I tried using his format:

;loot exclude=short sword|jeddart-axe

And have this:

exclude: short sword|jeddart-axe

;loot exclude=black ora|glaes club

And have this:

exclude: black ora|glaes club

Awesome! Thank you, Tillmen. I saw another post of yours about loot in which you used the regex "black ora|^urglaes fang$". Why are those beginning and end match ^$ characters sometimes necessary? Wouldn't the regex "urglaes fang" match just fine all the time?

They're not really necessary most of the time. They just make the regex more efficient.

Cool. That's what I was starting to think. I'm just learning about regexes for the first tiem today.
