See 'n Say Comparison (script)

This is a Genie script that compares any two weapons, shields, or pieces of armor, and then echoes the comparison in an IC way.

Syntax

.COMPARE %1 %2

%1: first item (use periods instead of spaces) %2: second item (use periods instead of spaces)

Usage Notes

You do not need to type the full name of the item in order for it to appear in the output. The weapon name is read from the part of the appraisal that states the value.

The script should distinguish between singular and plural items when composing the output. For example, if you appraise your gauntlets, it will say, "the gauntlets are," not "the gauntlets is."

Swappable Weapons

Swappable weapons, such as bastard swords, are only partially supported by comparison. You will need to swap the weapon to compare both modes.

Sample Outputs

Weapon: The gleaming silver greatsword does about as much puncture damage, does more slice damage, does a little more impact damage, is far less balanced, is about as suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength, and is stronger than the gleaming silver sword.

Shield: The tower shield has a little higher basic defense, has a higher full defense, is harder to maneuver with, and is about as strong as the leather buckler.

Armor: The brushed golden hauberk is about as resistant to and about as absorptive of puncture damage, is a little more resistant to and about as absorptive of slice damage, is a little less resistant to and about as absorptive of impact damage, is somewhat more resistant to and about as absorptive of fire, is about as resistant to and about as absorptive of cold, is about as resistant to and about as absorptive of electricity, is harder to maneuver with, and is somewhat stronger than the silver-edged shirt.
