This script creates Elanthipedia forms for weapons, shields, armor, and items that you appraise in shops. The results are both echoed to the game window and logged to the Appraisal file in Genie's Logs folder.
This script is intended for experience Elanthipedia contributors only. The forms that are created by this script often require some manual editing. (See below for details.) Please check for errors before posting them to Elanthipedia.
Field values are not defined unless you are "certain" about the stat that you are appraising.
Instructions
Syntax
.ELANTH [ITEM NOUN]: You must type the entire noun. (For example, if you're appraising a greatsword, you must type greatsword; greats wouldn't work.)
Most of the time, the script needs to type shop/appraise X on Y, but sometimes, the required preposition is in. In these cases, edit the first line of the script before running it:
setvariable preposition on
When the script loads, it will send shop $shopv to check the surface that the item is on. (This is not required, but I find it helpful.) A menu will then prompt you to select the type of item you're appraising:
- Weapon: Melee/Thrown: most weapons (except types 2-5)
- Weapon: Ranged: bows, crossbows, and slings
- Weapon: Ammunition: for bows, crossbows, and slings
- Weapon: Brawling: worn brawling gear (excluding parry sticks)
- Weapon: Parry Stick
- Shield
- Armor
- Item: all other items
Required Genie Settings
You must install and use this alias to set the shop surface variable.
#alias {shopv} {#var shop $0}
The "shop surface" is the thing on which the item is placed (for example, table, second rack, or oak shelf).
You must install and run this script to set your currency variable. (It only needs to be run once unless you go to another province.) If you don't wear a ring, change the item to something that you wear.
put app my ring quick matchre dokoras ^You .+ worth .+ dokoras matchre kronars ^You .+ worth .+ kronars matchre lirums ^You .+ worth .+ lirums matchwait dokoras: put #var currency Dokoras goto end kronars: put #var currency Kronars goto end lirums: put #var currency Lirums goto end end: echo echo Currency set to $currency echo
Changelog
03/20/2011: The script has the following new features:
- adds commas to costs and appraisal values
- adds the currency to the cost field (requires the script above)
- equipment construction values don't need to be edited to make them consistent with Elanthipedia's template
- recognizes gaethzen as a type of fluff item
- recognizes many common guild and race styles for fluff items
Fields That Require Manual Editing
Name
Delete this field unless the item tap differs from the page name (for example, in capitalization).
Missing Data
Some fields that the script can't fill are left as placeholders for your convenience. For example, MTag (materials), CTag (colors), and STag (symbols) must be supplied by the player.
Likewise, any field with a % in the result has not been filled by the script. (These fields are in the script, because the script sometimes has values for them.) These fields should be deleted unless you know the appropriate value.
Fields to watch out for:
- |type2=%wtype2: this field is used for thrown weapons
- |maxcharge=%maxcharge: this field is filled when cambrinth is appraised. (Delete this field if the data is missing, or it is defined as "N/A".)
- |special=%special: this field is defined as "cambrinth" when the item is cambrinth. Otherwise, delete this field unless there is some other special type, such as a guild or racial style.
Item Types
For your convenience, the script leaves room for up to four item types for fluff. Sometimes, the script will define a type for you. Some automatic settings:
- |type=clothing: automatic for most clothing
- |type=jewelry: automatic for most jewelry
- |type=creation: automatic for fabrics
- |type=-: automatic when the item is not set as clothing or jewelry
- |type2=container: containers and pocketed items
- |type3=cambrinth: cambrinth
If a type field is blank, please delete it.
If type2 or type3 is set, but there is no type, change it to the lowest available type number.
If type is defined as "-", it means that the item doesn't belong in any of Elanthipedia's type categories. This definition is incorrect if another type variable has been set (for example, container or cambrinth). When in doubt, delete this unless you know that no other item category applies.
Source, Sourcetype, and Cost
By default, the source field is defined as the room name. This does not always match the shop name on Elanthipedia.
Player-run Shops
If you are appraising items in player-run Trader shops, please delete the following fields unless you know the original source:
- |sourcetype=sold by
- |source=
- |cost=
Swappable Weapons
This script supports thrown weapons, but it does not fully support swappable weapons, such as bastard swords. (It will only generate the damage and balance/power fields for one side of the weapon.)
The easiest way to handle this situation is to let the form supply the one side's values, save changes, and click the "edit with form" button to supply the other side's values.
Shields
In the Shield section of the script, there is a field called |paladinapp=Yes. Please delete this unless you are a Paladin. (Paladins get more detailed information about shield protection, and this field indicates that the shield was appraised by a Paladin.)
Armor
area: This field is not defined by the script. Instead, all possible areas are listed. Please delete the areas that aren't covered by the armor.
|area=head,eyes,neck,chest,back,abdomen,arms,legs,hands
Absorption: The absorption fields are filled out twice, and some values need to be deleted.
For most armor, absorption is the same for all damage types. When this is the case, keep the absorbance field and delete the following fields:
- |punctureab=
- |sliceab=
- |impactab=
- |fireab=
- |coldab=
- |electricab=
If absorption values are not the same for every damage type, you can delete the ones that are the same as absorbance. For example, let's say that a piece of armor has the following absorption stats:
good (5/11) protection and fair (3/11) damage absorption for puncture attacks.
good (5/11) protection and fair (3/11) damage absorption for slice attacks.
good (5/11) protection and moderate (4/11) damage absorption for impact attacks.
fair (3/11) protection and fair (3/11) damage absorption for fire attacks.
fair (3/11) protection and fair (3/11) damage absorption for cold attacks.
moderate (4/11) protection and fair (3/11) damage absorption for electrical attacks.
As you can see, most of the absorption values are "fair," but impact absorption is "moderate." The Elanthipedia form would look like this:
|absorbance=fair |impactab=moderate
This tells Elanthipedia that every absorption value is fair except for impact, which is moderate.
