Bigshot: The New Optimus Prime

[eeky]

I'm getting this at the end of a hunt using sbounty and bigshot. Everything up until today worked fine. I did update bigshot before the problem started.

Also when I run bigshot setup it starts doing it's arrow thing again.

Vanathar, do you remember the command to have azbounty use sigil of power once? (not 3 times in a row?) I reodwnloaded and forgot the fix...

Thanks!

Sure do... (copy and paste!)

The default behavior of the wrack() routine is to use sigil of power as many times as your stamina allows.

Change Line 714 ( or thereabouts) from this:

( checkstamina / 50 ).times { Spell[9718].cast }

to this:

Spell[9718].cast if you want a single cast

Or any number of variations you can think of, really.

Yesterday I updated Bigshot to the most recent version for some dumb reason, and now Bigshot won't wrack anymore. I didn't change any settings. It's still set to Use Sign of Wracking, with spirit >=6. Any ideas?

[Overlordz]

I noticed sometimes my tail will keep tagging along with the head, but when it comes time to attack, he never does.

Turns out if $bigshot_should_rest gets set to true on a tail, it's never set back to nil.

My fix was to set $bigshot_should_rest = nil where the tail receives the pre-rest commands event.

[Overlordz]

Not sure if anyone gives a shit about these but I'll keep posting.

I've been hunting with different spells based on what critter I'm attacking. Sometimes bigshot gets stuck in a nasty loop of "You already have a spell readied! You must RELEASE it if you wish to prepare another!".

Well, I just added a check to cmd_spell right before casting happens. Seems to work.

if (checkprep != "None" && checkprep != Spell[id].name)
fput "release"
end

I'm running into a problem using wands with bigshot.

With crystalline wands, it works fine.

With any sort of rod, it managed to get the rod, but the wave part don't work. I wave at a wand I have.

With golden wands, it manages to pick up the wand from my backpack, but don't notice if I got it or if I already had one in my hand. It tries again, and eventually times out without using the wand.

[Norminstarr]

I'm using Lich on my Mac with avalon, if that matters. I can't get the society abilities to work, I have the codes in, separated by commas. When I look at the lich settings I even see the codes there, but no refresh, no start, nothing. Any suggestions?

[Buckwheet]

Having problems with it not clearing the target correctly?

Anyone happen to have a fix?

[Old Ta'Faendryl, West]
The road runs from east to west, coming to an end at a wide area of land that opens to the east.  Thick blades of grass, bristling at the tips with clinging seed heads, poke through the web of cracks and crevices that splinter the path.  You also see an Ithzir adept.

[Old Ta'Faendryl, West Market]
A recessed alcove built into a jog in the city walls shelters a bush that is covered with what appears to be an equal abundance of small, cup-shaped red blossoms and vicious looking thorns.  The bush clings limpet-like to the wall, its prickly defenses amply sufficient protection against would be intruders to its private space.  You also see an Ithzir adept.

[Old Ta'Faendryl, West]
The ground here is uneven, liberally littered with stones and blocks that have fallen from the surrounding building walls.  Flaked off bits and pieces of granite have been ground into the dirt by the long term pressure of passing hooves, feet and paws.  You also see an Ithzir janissary, a twisted crystal-tipped staff, a polished steel shield and a spiral-hafted handaxe.
