The Sloot thread

[SpiffyJr]

Post all bugs, questions, etc here. I'll keep this thread updated with changes.

Monday, June 28, 2010
- Uploaded a new version of SLoot with a few tweaks to looting/box picking. Also added a new option "safe skinning" which will only kneel/offensive if the room is void of critters.

Thursday, June 24, 2010
- Added a feature to only loot stuff that comes off your critters. This is to help prevent the gayness from the cursed gem dropped.

Friday, June 18, 2010
- Added a force deposit option to force depositing coins even if you have nothing to sell.
- Added the option to disable the hands check
- Tweaked slib to hopefully stow items smarter

Wednesday, June 16, 2010
- Lots of tweaks to selling 1) sloot will only check each container one time 2) exclusions are done prior to selling so it doesn't run to each shop and not sell if an item is excluded 3) some other stuff
- Added the option of giving gold rings to the chronomage instead of selling them

Thursday, June 10, 2010
- Items that can not fit in your pack will be dropped. Now that I have this in I'll update it for overflow containers later.

Monday, June 07, 2010
- Tweaked getitem/putitem in slib and made a few tweaks to sloot to help with selling/disking boxes.

Wednesday, June 02, 2010
- Fixed a slib issue that was causing the settings to be crazy because Tillmen removed UserVars.list (DAMN YOU!!!)

Tuesday, June 01, 2010
- Changed the exclusion list to be a regular expression. This allows for advanced match checks as well as simple ones. For example, skin|^troll hide$ would match any skin but only troll hides.
- Added a new category "Jewelry." Some of the items from magic (circlet, medallion, etc) have been moved to this new category. Corresponding loot, sack, and sell options have been added.

I'd personally like it if sloot would store my weapon and retrieve it after it ran.

[SpiffyJr]

Umm, it does. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're wanting.

It seems there is about a 1 in a thousand chance for Sloot to hang on skinning. Don't get why.

This is your newest version of it, not my version.

Then it hangs... it won't exit, so starscream won't continue running, so eventually I timeout and logout.

I think what I'm going to do is code an overlord script so that if sloot runs for more than 30 seconds it'll kill it.

If you have updated in the last few days that shouldn't be an issue any longer.

Not sure if this is sloot or bigshot, but I've seen this behavior quite a bit, it's like either bigshot does not know that the mob's status has changed to dead and/or sloot is not kicking in:

Sorry about the lenght of that post. ;( But I just noticed something in the log, the orginal manticore ran (the one bigshot initially targetted), perhaps that's the source of the problem?

Valdarrow

[fenrus]

Not sure what is causing that to loop forever, but...

result = Spell[id].cast(target_id)
if( result =~ /at what/ )
	bs_put 'release'
elsif( result =~ /Spell Hindrance/ )
	redo
end

I believe this code is redundant. Spell.cast already releases the spell if the result is Cast at what?. It also already retries if the spell fails due to hindrance.

That is why you see:

You feel the magic of your spell rush away from you.

oh, this is most certainly a bigshot issue. didn't even realize this is the sloot thread

[Valdarrow]

One last detail, I switched to a different mob and both Sloot and Bigshot are working perfectly.
