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"

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.

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.

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?
