Lich script development

Lich script libraries

These are lich scripts, but do not accomplish a task. Rather, they provide functionality that other scripts can take advantage of.

common

A large set of helper functions for common actions shared by many scripts.

Script usage: Probably the single most useful function in this file is bput (short for 'blocking put').

bput is designed to be a more robust version of fput in situations where you know the desired response from the game. Unlike fput which will resend the same command repeatedly until it sees the desired message first from the game, bput only sends a given command one time (unless round time or type ahead errors occur) and then waits for the desired response. if the desired response isn't seen bput will eventually time out and echo debugging information.

This would never work because the game sends a response line "You search around..." before "Roundtime" is encountered:

 fput "forage grass", 'Roundtime'

Similarly a command that can only succeed once can cause fput to hang. In this case, you have to deal with the failure case and just spam the command until failure in a noisy room with fput:

 fput "get box", 'you pick up', 'get what?'

Lets you know with confidence if a box was picked up or if the item was missing:

 bput "get box", 'you pick up', 'get what?'

dependency

Script usage: For first time setup, see the Getting Started section of the repository README: https://github.com/rpherbig/dr-scripts/blob/master/README.md

You'll want to remove any of our scripts that you replace with this from the auto start so they aren't getting run twice.

Useful helpers:

• get_script('name') - fetch the script and start tracking it
• get_yaml('filename') - download the specified yaml file to your profiles directory
• list_autostarts - show all scripts that are started automatically
• autostart(script) - add a script to the autostart list
• remove_autostart(script) - remove a script from the autostart list
• list_tracked_scripts

You can turn on debug mode by passing 'debug' as an argument with ;dependency debug

drinfomon

Updated info tracking for use in other scripts in DragonRealms

Script usage:

• skill tracking - name/rank/xp
• info tracking - everything listed under info other than debt wealth and birthdate

Provides some additional commands to the user:

• ;banks - Tracks your money and converts copper strings to plat format. Not all locations tracked.
• ;vault - Tracks vault contents and location. -not all location included

Display experience gain in your Field Experience window:

• ;e UserVars.track_exp=true

events

Flags are simple true/false string detectors.

Script usage:

• Flags.add(<key>, <trigger>|[<trigger1,...,triggerN])
• Flags.add('test', 'exp help')
• Flags.add('another', ['exp help', 'a second message'])

   This creates a new flag "test", which will return the matched string any time you see a message containing "exp help". Note that
   the message will be treated as a regular expression and is case insensitive (google for more info) so be careful with
   special characters, remember to use single quote strings if you're going to use special characters.
   Calling add with the same key will overwrite any previous matchers and reset the flag.
   Alternatively you can add an array with multiple matchers. If multiple messages match the flag will be set to the first match found.

• Flags.add('skillexp', '(\w[^:\(\)]+):\s+(\d+)\s\d+\.\d+%[^\(\)]*\((\d+)\/\d+\)')

   This example will add a flag watching for the results of an exp message, specifically "exp skillname".
   After sending "exp mech" to the game Flags['skillexp'] would contain...

   ["Mechanical Lore:    146 16.82% focused       (20/34)", "Mechanical Lore", "146", "20"]

   You can see the array containing entire matched string and the three capture groups containing
   skill name, ranks, and mind state.

• Flags['test']

   Returns the match if you've seen any message matching after you called add (or reset); false otherwise

• Flags['test'] = false
• Flags.reset('test')

   Both of these commands have the same effect, reseting a flag as if it hasn't been seen yet.

• Flags.delete('test')

   Removes a flag, stopping any tracking of it.
