Scripters and the pawn shop

[Candor]

The next scripting idiot who walks into a pawn shop and sells several dozen wands in rapid succession while I am there is not going to have a good day.

Yeah I am old and grumpy. Deal with it.

[Kalishar]

Time to start saving wands up I guess.

[Wrathbringer]

The next scripting idiot who walks into a pawn shop and sells several dozen wands in rapid succession while I am there is not going to have a good day.

Yeah I am old and grumpy. Deal with it.

I'd venture that at least 75% of people left in the game are scripting idiots.

[Tisket]

People who script boring, stupidly repetitive tasks are smart.

He only thinks that people who do things he likes to do are smart. Like make fake inspection stickers.

To his credit, the newspaper clipping does look like a Massachusetts inspection sticker at a quick glance

Sure if your eye sight is 20/20000 and you're not wearing your glasses

[Destrier]

carpal tunnel is a better answer

[Kitsun]

It's easier to just squelch the messaging. How often do you give a shit if someone sells a wand?

[Methais]

I frequently walk in with a sack full of wands, but I dupe them before selling which should double or triple the screen scroll.

I'm still going to have a good day.

Correct. Although, we don't have vehicle inspection here in freedomland where I live. That stuff's for blue state tree huggers.

He did dupe them before selling. Are you spreading your idiocy around?

How is doubling the value of something idiocy again?

[Candor]

Often when I post, I get negative rep. I could post "Have a nice day" and get negative rep from some folks who are out to show how much they don't like me.

All the rep I have received so far from posting this thread has been positive. Here are a couple examples:

I dont like you but god! Idiots spamming the fuck out of my screen at the pawn and gemshop annoys me too.
Nah, they get the same script from DerpImAnIdiotScripts.com.

Something for you scripters to consider.

[Warriorbird]

I seem to remember somebody scripting to avoid justice system consequences. I wouldn't know who that'd be.

[Candor]

I seem to remember somebody scripting to avoid justice system consequences. I wouldn't know who that'd be.

I wouldn't either. It sure wouldn't be me, since I don't script at all.

On another note, I can no longer say all the rep I have received on this thread has been positive. Admittedly I was sort of asking for that to happen.

[waywardgs]

The whole game is screen scroll. Why anyone cares about this shit is beyond me.

[Candor]

<You're too old to be so childish.>

Naww. You are as young as you feel.

<I remember that snowball you clocked me with..>

I've been attacked and killed by players who said I stole from them years before and they just hadn't managed to take revenge since the theft (and people say I hold a grudge...).

[Warriorbird]

I wouldn't either. It sure wouldn't be me, since I don't script at all.

On another note, I can no longer say all the rep I have received on this thread has been positive. Admittedly I was sort of asking for that to happen.

So you don't use macros either?

[Candor]

So you don't use macros either?

I didn't say that...and yes I do.

[Tgo01]

Would you be okay if I used a macro that removed my wand from my cloak then sold it and I just pushed the macro key 100 times? :D

I'm sure they're very concerned. I'm so concerned I almost wish I had an active account just so I could load up on crap to unload at the pawnshop whenever you enter.


The whole game is screen scroll. Why anyone cares about this shit is beyond me.

Especially people that used to play on smaller monitors with slower internet connections and a whole fuckload more people in the game/room. I guess some people just need something to bitch about.

I think Candor reported me a moment ago :(

She has a BFF tattoo on her arm, and a blue smurf tattoo on her finger.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a thin silver-linked chain, a SUPERIOUS thing, a silver Fossil watch, a small handwritten note, a polished letter A badge, a gold star pin, a shiny gold star, a sturdy Kynlee repository slung over her shoulder, a closely guarded project vault, a faded red t-shirt with a bright yellow lighting bolt on the front, a limited edition Mazroelle doll, a wide tungsten band, some loose fitting comfy jeans, and some lightly scuffed black leather shoes with slightly frayed laces.

You exclaim, "Okay okay, take them!"

You nod.

You say, "I don't poach."

Kynlee says, "You have."

You say, "Unless they're hiding without a disk."

You say, "Then there's not much I can od."

Kynlee says, "We've watched people try and talk to you, and you just go on."

Kynlee shrugs.

You ask, "I don't have to talk to anyone do I?"

Kynlee asks, "If you poach their kill and call you on it?"

Kynlee says, "No, but it'd be the nice thing to do."

Kynlee says, "It at least lets them know you're not afk."

Kynlee says, "But that's up to you."

You turn towards Kynlee and render a sharp salute with your black orase staff.

Kynlee waves.
You wave.

Fun fun fun.

As I said, my scripts don't poach unless someone is hiding without a disk. People should learn to hunt with a disk.

Disruptive movement? Give me a break.

Thread: Scripters and the pawn shop

Let's be honest, you do script up near pinefar. Dreaven is bot up there at times.

Of course I script, I never denied that.

I try to be considerate towards others and have changed my scripts a lot to try and be less disruptive towards other players.

The problem is people just don't like me :(

[Warriorbird]

It's just Candor doing policy trolling. A new avenue for it to him.

[Tgo01]

Just to show I'm not a complete insensitive asshole I've updated my script so if it sees another person in the hunting area he will head to a node to rest for 2 minutes.

[Gelston]

The terrorists just won. Thanks a lot Tgo. You gave them an inch, and now they are going to take a mile. The blood of the innocents are on your hands!

[Tgo01]

:(

You're probably right. I'll get a visit from a GM next week saying "Yeah, those 2 minutes ain't doing shit. Increase that rest period to 10 minutes!"

Then the next week 20 minutes. Then 30 minutes.

Next thing you know I'm eating with my right hand and wiping with my left :(

[Warriorbird]

It's best not to script GS so that we can go back to the days when level 20 was a big deal.

Speaking of Candor, here's a funny classic log...


So.. Obviously Candor is getting owned here but I think the real pwnage is being delivered to the lovely Amberain... Kudos to the GM. :)


A passing guard says, "For being generally a nusiance in town, Candor is now being tarred for your viewing pleasure in Town Square."

[Town Square, West]
You notice the Amberain disk, a wooden shield and a kobold skin.

A town official suddenly jumps in front of the crowd. "That's enough now," he says. "If Candor hasn't learned his lesson now, he never will. Bring out the feathers!". A number of townsfolk bring in some large sacks of goose feathers, and dump them all over Candor!

The town official looks at Candor and says, "You aren't welcome in this town any more, troublemaker. We'll make sure you get out of town, and don't come back anytime soon, unless you want more trouble!"

With that, the official raises a nasty looking club and brings it down hard atop Candor's head, knocking him unconscious! They then untie the limp Candor and drag him off.

And she never gave them back!

I noticed that too! At the current silver/dollar exchange rate she owes me 20 cents! :(

[Candor]

I honestly didn't realize this thread would create so much attention. People either strongly agree with me that scripters should be more aware of the scroll they create, or believe I am complete moron for even bringing up the issue.

I suspect the reason for the strong reactions from the scripters is that they are using the game to supplement their income, and they consider the subject of this thread to be a threat to that purpose. This was absolutely not my intent. Although I do not supplement my income from the game, I have no objection to someone else doing so. I only wanted to bring some awareness that a lot of scroll can be rather annoying to some players, and clearly my feedback indicates that I am not the only player with that opinion.

Since I don't have a solution, and since this isn't really a major problem overall, I am just going to stop commenting in this thread. May I suggest that some of you reppers need to chill out a bit.

[Nahkaev]

Of course I script, I never denied that.

I try to be considerate towards others and have changed my scripts a lot to try and be less disruptive towards other players.

The problem is people just don't like me :(
You absolutely do, at times, try to be considerate towards others near you, I will give you that. You could do better, though.

It could just be me here, but probably isn't- my sentiment is along the lines of *that* you script not being the issue, it's the fact that you do it simultaneously on 6 different characters all in the same area (Vo, Ry, Bo, Ar, Na, & Dr + any others I don't know about) - and have been doing it for over a year straight (on 5 of them) - hunting certain areas containing critters literally a third or a half of your capped level- into abject poverty- which gets a bit fucking old.

I actually kind of like you when you decide to play for real, but watching your bot crew rustle up landslides on my head over, and over, and over, and over- can get REAL old. Especially when the critters all have boxes with 500 silver in them thanks entirely to you and you alone.

It's also quite disruptive to watch you blitz TC with 3-4 pages of movement in 10 seconds on your empath and wizard. You should seriously consider taking my friendly advice in managing your mapdelays in a differential manner so you appear to be less of coked-out robot hydra. It's one thing to script- I think most reasonable people use many scripts every day. It's another to do it in a fashion which is just generally freaking irritating to those around you. You should consider your own presence to be an anathema to the average person- as they're full aware that you're just rustling up coins to hock on these boards every month so they view your presence as tolerable but annoying. You amplify the problem by behaving in a manner that is unnatural- and this is something that is within your power to reduce.

Something to consider.

That's not entirely true. All of my characters get experience, find loot and earn silvers. How is this any different than what 99% of the people who play this game do?


You amplify the problem by behaving in a manner that is unnatural- and this is something that is within your power to reduce.

You calling me unnatural? :O


Something to consider.

Why you acting all kind and sweet on these forums? Where are all of those personal insults and name calling you were tossing my way a couple of days ago?

Shit like this is exactly why I can't/won't play Prime ever again. "Why are you hunting here! You're too old for this place". "OMG my eyes! Screen scroooooll". (No shit, huh? A text game, where virtually every action leaves its mark on the screen. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can or can't do when I play?) The screen scroll complaints have to be one of the most irritatingly stupid things I've ever seen. Perfect example: Guild audience reps. Whoever decided to make them should be slapped, but it's likely too late to ever see them removed at this point. No one likes them, even the people killing your poor little eyeballs with the screen scroll.

What difference is it if I'm doing audience reps or a couple people are constantly yapping in a resting area (it's even more special when they have awesome items like censers that add even more shit I personally don't care about on the screen)? I hear with regard to audience reps that people don't want to see them, you should get a few people that don't mind watching and go someplace else to do them. Fuck you! I don't want to hear you and your buddy talk, so pack up and do it somewhere else. But for some reason, it's perfectly acceptable for the people to chat it up in my presence- items included- despite the fact that it's making that screen scroll away.

Someone please explain the logic behind why it is acceptable for some things to present the dreaded lines of text on your screen while it's abhorrent for other things to do the same.


That's not entirely true. All of my characters get experience, find loot and earn silvers. How is this any different than what 99% of the people who play this game do?

You didn't do it in a way that was approved of by the other person(s) in the area. Too many special snowflakes think their way is the law and unfortunately the GMs obviously enforce this behavior.

Someone once caused screen scroll in front of me while I was trying to have a conversation with my friend in the pawnshop. It was the worst ten seconds of my life. I've been in counseling since.

[waywardgs]

[Kalishar]

I honestly didn't realize this thread would create so much attention. People either strongly agree with me that scripters should be more aware of the scroll they create, or believe I am complete moron for even bringing up the issue.

I suspect the reason for the strong reactions from the scripters is that they are using the game to supplement their income, and they consider the subject of this thread to be a threat to that purpose. This was absolutely not my intent. Although I do not supplement my income from the game, I have no objection to someone else doing so. I only wanted to bring some awareness that a lot of scroll can be rather annoying to some players, and clearly my feedback indicates that I am not the only player with that opinion.

Since I don't have a solution, and since this isn't really a major problem overall, I am just going to stop commenting in this thread. May I suggest that some of you reppers need to chill out a bit.

I don't supplement my income with any aspect of this game. I don't script hunt or even script sell things at any shops anywhere, yet I still think this argument is retarded. As another poster said this entire game is nothing but text and screen scroll. Being mad that someone is selling things faster than you like at a shop just sounds like bitching to me.

[Gemstones]

You do understand that you're talking to a dog with glasses and hands? Look at his avatar. How can you get mad at a talking dog?

Also, there used to be a lot more screen scroll in the game before Simu made certain actions invisible to third parties. These days, just about everyone scripts, whether it's ;go2, ;sloot3, or some spell-up script. And many more people are idling AFK in resting areas. The game has changed.

As I said, my scripts don't poach unless someone is hiding without a disk. People should learn to hunt with a disk.

SCREEN SCROLL?!?! Lawl

Wait.. it's everyone's responsibility to get a black crystal and use it.. or get a wizard to spell them up with a disk, just so your macro doesn't poach their kills?

That's silly. If you weren't scripting, would you poach kills?

If you don't know they are in the room how is it poaching? At a glance it is a room free of players with mobs that you can kill.

Script or no if I don't know you're in the room I'm going to light the mob up before you can say "Dude I'm super sneaky here forsooth brah"...but if there is a disk I wait a second or two to see you either attack or the disk to move on.

I view poaching as someone walking into a room, instantly searching my dead kill, and then moving to the next room. I don't view poaching as me hiding.. getting ready to strike and someone coming in and attacking the monster I was attacking.

Maybe my definition of poaching is different though.

You can't be serious. I get that sometimes people troll this board by writing seemingly serious posts about Gemstone when they don't mean what they say. It's like a joke without the funny parts. Is that what's happening here?

I have never scripted selling items; I type it out by hand and use the arrow keys for multiple items. This scrolls the screen. Since I don't sell items very often, it might scroll the screen a lot.

If I don't have a disk I get annoyed if someone walking into a room of proned/stunned/fucked up critters, proceeds to kill them (or search the dead ones I already killed) and runs out.

If it's just (a|some) creature(s) without status effects and I'm ambushing without a disk, I cannot really blame them. Lots of creatures at the upper end of the game it has to be a more kill first, talk about it after, sort of situation... and even after 20 years they haven't stopped spawning.

[Tgo01]

That's silly. If you weren't scripting, would you poach kills?

Probably, if I had no idea they were in the room.

I've done it before while hunting manually. Especially as m444w says, depending on the hunting ground I don't have time to wait 2-3 seconds before attacking a critter to make sure no one is there.

[m444w]

If someone wants to work it into their scripts to detect when someone in the shadows whistles you could add this:



def ambusher_here?
matchtimeout 1, /You hear someone whistling in the shadows|reproduction of the whistle|You hear someone whistling like a bird/
end



which as an example... you could use like this as a scripting roamer:



loop {
echo "ambusher detected" if ambusher_here?
sleep 0.5
}



so that if you're an ambusher you could simply run this (provided they aren't using some weird movement pattern):





while line=get
fput "whistle bird shrike" if line =~ /just arrived/ and hidden? && GameObj.npcs.length > 0 # we don't want to spam people if there aren't any creatures in the room
end


and it should catch all of the various different whistles a person can make:



>;gem-test
--- Lich: gem-test active.
You hear someone whistling in the shadows.
[gem-test: ambusher detected]
You hear someone whistling in the shadows.
[gem-test: ambusher detected]
You hear someone produce a fair reproduction of the whistle of a shrike.
[gem-test: ambusher detected]
You hear someone produce a skillful reproduction of the whistle of a merlin.
[gem-test: ambusher detected]


and then everyone would be happy.

I always had trouble around hiders. I dont script hunt, but I do use a lot of macros. I would just enter and blast creatures. Felt bad when it happened repeatedly, but what can you do?

Honestly, it'd be nice if you could use a verb to engage a creature so others couldn't target it without some sort of warning. To keep people from getting upset, you could set a flag to auto ignore said warning, but i'd honestly still use it.

Well, when you call anyone who uses these extremely common scripts to sell loot an idiot, you sorta invite people to respond in kind. I'm not playing that game, but speaking as someone who uses a lot of scripts, including sloot, but never full automation (bigshot, etc.), my opinion is that you're overreacting. And this is a common theme. I'm not sure why some folks are able to shrug off the annoying, the OOC, and the outright offensive where others seems incapable of letting anything slide. One guy on the officials today suggested we should implement movement RT, endurance, or similar systems designed to prevent players from moving in and out of rooms quickly - simply because he was annoyed at a scripter moving in and out of a node that should have been an off-limits boundary, but evidently was not added to the script.

From my perspective, while I can certainly understand how things like sloot may be mildly annoying, I really don't understand why the scope of this problem seems so great to you folks that all scripters are idiots, assholes, etc. and basically whatever ridiculous scheme we contrive to shoot ourselves in the foot, as long as it slows those darn scripters down it'll be worth it! I just don't understand you. It doesn't make even a little bit of sense to me.
