My scripts

[sellstuff1]

Now when we do (300 * 2.50) - 715 (the highest lock possibility on an extremely well-crafted lock) + 60 (your lockroll number) we get a value of 95, since this value is lower than 100 the script says you need a vaalin lockpick + lock lore.

This is all working as intended. A lock roll value of 66 would have made the script forgo lock lore. This is probably happening because your lockpick skill is very close to the difficulty of the lock on the box.

Shouldn't it step up to lore+veniom if it was unable to pick with vaalin unlored, is my point?

It could but I didn't code it to work like that. It checks each lockpick and once it gets to vaalin and it determines that vaalin isn't enough it just uses vaalin + lore.

I might change it someday to check for lower lockpicks + lore.

STFU already and create your own script if you don't like it!!!11

I have uploaded a test version of ;tpick as ;tpick-test

;tpick-test will give some information before it attempts to pick a lock (what your skill is, what the lock difficulty is supposed to be based on loresinging/measuring, what your skill is, etc etc), it also determines if you can pick the lock without 403 and if so it will attempt to do so. If it determines you cannot pick the lock without 403 it will determine what the lowest lockpick you can use with 403 to pick the lock and attempt that.

I don't have much time these days to play so this is why I have uploaded this as ;tpick-test for now. If people can download this version (and make sure you're using it instead of the old ;tpick) and see if it is working properly as far as using vaalin when needed and etc etc and see if the formulas are accurate as in it is putting you in the ballpark of which pick you should use and isn't wildly off (if it is wildly off make sure your calipers are properly calibrated before providing feedback.)

Once this has been tested sufficiently I'll delete this version and update the regular ol' ;tpick to this version. Thanks all.

The reason I'm using a test version for now is because I'm not sure how well this new version will work and I would hate for someone to update ;tpick thinking it's a new and improved version only to find out it's not :O

[Tgo01]

Okay fixed some things in ;tpick-test which will roll on out to ;tpick once some more testing has been done with ;tpick-test.

;tpick-test now should only try to pick actual boxes and not anything with the words chest, box, strongbox, trunk, or coffer in the name.

Fixed some bugs with ;tpick-test not using the proper lockpick for the job. ;tpick should be pretty gosh darn accurate in using the lowest lockpick you can and still open that darn lockpick, even when using 403 or not. Keep in mind this also depends on what your lockroll value is set to.

;tpick-test is going really well so far. Example:

Using your gold calipers, you carefully begin to measure the lock...

You struggle with the box. As you do, you get a sense that the box has a fairly complicated lock (-775 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!

;tpick never did that. So thanks a ton for your dev work, Dreaven.

[sellstuff1]

Noticed that ;tpick-test will not pause if you become fried after disarming a trap, and will grab vaalin and lore up to blow through the lock after frying on disarming.

;tpick-test ground did not catch the ...wait 1 seconds pattern when trying to stash calipers, and tried to pick without an empty hand, then stalled when it received the You must have your other hand free message.

[Tgo01]

I am convinced ;tpick-test is the new gold standard for all of your lockpicking needs so it has been removed from the repo!

;tpick is now the new gold standard for all of your lockpicking needs to get back to using it!1!

;tpick changes:

Script should now use lowest quality lockpick possible while still picking the lock instead of jumping straight to vaalin + 403 if vaalin alone can't pick the lock. This will also depend on what your lockroll setting is set to.
Script now pauses for experience drain after disarming a trap if your settings call for resting at a certain threshold.
Script shouldn't get hung up trying to put your calipers away.

You will need to have both hands free or be holding just the coffer for that.

;tpick does not attempt to stash your calipers before disarming. Also it should really be using detect instead of disarm, detect doesn't set off traps but disarm could.

edit: It also doesn't put your calipers away after measuring at all between boxes, not just on the initial calibrate.
