Bigshot: The New Optimus Prime

[Netam]

As requested. One of my tails just goes Rambo in my test. Others wait 30 seconds and swing instead of attacking after they swing. This is in steel golems. Also it looks like sometimes I'll overrun the golems and never stop, something that didn't happen with the last version. My guys minds were close to bell.


Seeing this: | event: ATTACK
instead of actual attack sometimes.

Another:
| Error adding event to members stack. Removing!

Great improvement! Two asks an' a bug fer ya.

1) Can ya put this in fer the ranged logic? Works better.

replace lines:

        waitrt? until checkrt == 0
        put 'ready ammo'

wit':

        #waitrt? until checkrt == 0
        until (checkright =~ /arrow/i)
        	fput 'ready ammo'
        	sleep 0.10
        end

Might be wort' a bit o' trouble ta use a variable.

2) Can ya add to yer NPC protections? Replace line:

return false if target.noun.downcase == 'child'

wit'

 return false if target.noun.downcase == 'traveller|scribe|merchant|dignitary|official|magistrate|child'

An' I noticed while runnin'

An' from da tail:

| event: ATTACK

| event: ATTACK

| event: ATTACK

| event: HUNTING_SCRIPTS_STOP
| event: RESTING_PREP_COMMANDS

Now, I don' mind da extra output. But it fails next hunt 'cause it removed da tail. Twice in a row.

Mebbe checkin' stack status an' clearin' before decidin' ta axe tail membership?

Did I tell ya dis is great stuff?!

[Alorn15]

Ranged stuff should be a bit better... probably could still use some work though.

I'm not sure why it's failing to add events, but at least now it won't remove the member if it does. There may be an invalid event being created... in that case we'll see the real error now, which will be helpful.

As for the wait for swing stuff... Netam can you IM me so we can debug it? alexx1523

[Bhaalizmo]

I had one successful MA hunt with the new version, but after it rested it took me back out and wouldn't swing at anything. Just ran around the huntin spot till I killed it, and restarted it. Same thing, no swinging. It's weird that the first hunt worked though.

Edit: Went back to town and restarted it from there with no settings changes. Hunting fine now. We'll see how it goes.

[Alorn15]

Bhaalizmo: Feel free to IM me to talk directly. alexx1523

[Alorn15]

I see the issue. New upload.

[Bhaalizmo]

I see the issue. New upload.

Thank you sir. I'll be testing this in a new hunting spot in about 5 minutes, including the "always flee from" field.

Edit: So far so good. No problems. Muchos gracias.

I've never really tried to get the wands part working, but I'm trying now in my new hunting spot. I got this message.

--- Exception: undefined method `messsage' for #<Bigshot:0x4864df0>

You are now in a defensive stance.

I don't have an empty wands container set, I'd like to simply drop them. Is that an option, or do I need to set a container?

Wands doesn't really work too well for me, either. I'm sure it won't be much better in conflict with wracking, as well.

[Alorn15]

Fixed 'messsage' and made it so that itll drop the wand if you don't specify a dead wand container.

Wands are something that I hope someone who actually uses them and can code will eventually tell me how the routine needs to be changed. This is because I don't myself use wands. Same with ranged.

Wracking is the same too, but it's a stretch to ask someone to rewrite that convoluted crap.
