I usually have the messages suppressed - I was fried when it didn't loresing. I waited until I wasn't fried and now it loresings.

Turns out I had use Vaalin when fried checked and that must override the loresinging setting. I unchecked and now it loresings when fried too. Thanks for looking into it.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting how the settings work? It's attempting to open this box even though the adjusted Lock difficulty is showing as higher than the calculated lock skill.

It looks like it also had a problem turning the box in and reattempted the same one from the beginning.

You sense the item has some sort of magic resistance. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the trunk is as a container of some kind with a maximum interior capacity of 200 pounds with room for up to nine items. It has an intricate lock on it (between -800 and -835 in thief-lingo difficulty ranking).

I don't think that's a bug anymore - I think it's because I had max roll with Vaalin at 60 and max roll in general at 50 and there was only 10 difference that accounted for it.

I think it still displayed lock calc with the general setting, but used the Vaalin one to proceed. I set the Vaalin roll to 50 to match - so it should turn down the -800 and -835 range now. I'll post again if it doesn't.

[ButterBacon]

Update: it did attempt to pick the next -800 to -835 range box.

Maybe I'm just misinterpreting how it's supposed to work. I'm thinking the reroll setting probably comes into play after the 1st attempt and with a roll higher, and it's the max lock setting that's being used.

I adjusted by setting the max lock setting to 800 directly instead of using a negative there. That should do it. Thanks for looking.

Does it matter that I have several settings that show up as red no matter what I set them to? The script seems to be running fine, I guess I am just weird about seeing stuff in red.

Actually it seems it was not running fine, for some reason it did not import the setting to use lmaster focus and it broke 4 vaalin picks before I caught it, good thing it is only monopoly money.

The lock roll setting just determines when you move to a higher lock pick. If you have it set to 50 for example, and you roll a 60 (which is higher than 50), then the script will move on to a higher lock pick.

If you want to turn down boxes based on lock difficulty you should use the Max Lock setting.

Red settings just mean those settings have to be filled out for the script to work properly. They are always in red.

Tgo is there a way to not have the tpick box show up in the extreme left hand corner of the left most monitor? I have a TV on my system and it is not really in front of me, so when it shows up I have to drag it all the way over to the monitor I use. I know this seems a little silly to worry about but with the TV I drive 4 monitors, it being the most far left one.

I think you can move it and save the position so the next time you start up the script it will be where you last had it.
