Nelemar Swimmer - No more Eddies!

[Drunken Durfin]

A strong eddy swirls around you, driving you forcefully south!

Damnit, what room am I in?

Durfin inhales a mouthful of water, his face wild with panic. Soon, he is completely overwhelmed, and his body goes still."

So, how many times have you had this happen to you and suddenly your script is useless and you are lost in the maze that is Nelemar? Well no more I say!

The script below does not use counters or set paths to get you from the whirlpool to the dais. It relies on the room descriptions themselves. If you get sucked into another room, the script looks at where you are and then takes the quickest route from there to where you need to go.

I have made the swim a few times myself already with no problems using this script. If you encounter, please paste a log of what went wrong so that I can modify the script. Simply posting "Durfin, your script sucks and got me killed" will not help.

Enjoy!

Please see 2.0 code towards bottom of page....

I've been using this script for a bit and made a few changes. This script didn't account for failures on your way into the whirlpool or on the very last swim up. Also, I swim nw at the end instead of ne. It's a little spammy with all the looks, but it works really well, so I'm not going to rewrite the guts.

# I don't ever turn this off, so this is useless for me, but the script

#PUT set desc on

# Don't know if stance makes a big difference, but I always like to be in offensive
PUT stance off

[Lyonis]

I received a bounty earlier today to rescue a child from Nelemar so I'm assuming that you have to swim out with them. Is there anyone that has a script to exit via swimming?

[Khariz]

Thanks Durf. I replaces the swim portion of mine with this code. Great shit.

And to the modifier.

[Drunken Durfin]

Ever get this error?

PR>swim northeast
...wait 1 seconds.

Or perhaps the new room description hits and the MATCH does not, so the script just sits there dumb until you do a manual LOOK again? Well no more.

The first script is the TO Nelemar Swimmer, incorporating BigWorm's changes for swim failure in the initial room. Also, be sure to edit the last line of this script from "PUT get my mattock" to fit your specifics.

The second is the FROM Nelemar Swimmer.

I have tested both several times, but you never know what kind of fun messaging you are going to get that will cause a problem. If something goes wrong while you are using these, please send me a log of your Story window so I can try and make corrections.

Enjoy!
