Here's a couple of images of a new RPG I attempted, 2 town areas were complete. AFAICR anyway.
If there is demand I may continue it.
Any thoughts on it would be appreciated.
(no the fighting other chatters isn't on this, and the money is in game only. It's a more pure RPG, and works in it's own room with an EIGHT second delay because it spams a lot.)
The images are right to left so look at -this end- first to see from the player creation onwards.
Quite nice but it won't work universally, and for the people actually needing something to help add monsters to a text file it may cause problems more than it fixes.
for instance I have an RPG which also stores health, strength, agility on the same line, and the RPG itself uses defined lines for each level rather than multiple text files so any additions have to be changed in the script.
example:
rat 10 2 5
slime 20 1 1
bat 10 2 10
etc etc.
You may wish to add the name/link of the rpg itself so anyone wanting to use this will be able to find your rpg.... wait 12 levels, is that my old rpg?--> !fight evil
ifso I'd appreciate a link, if not I'd like to see it.
one thing though, the alias will show the wrong number of words, I only did it for the reply version which will count the trigger as a word eg:
!howlong legen wait for it dary legen wait for it dary is 5 words, 22 letters long and 18 letters without spaces. /howlong legen wait for it dary legen wait for it dary is 4 words, 22 letters long and 18 letters without spaces. the info is still the same, just the alias removes the trigger word from the calculation. change the alias line from $calc($0 - 1) to $0 There are always more things you can do, like count vowels, or count individual letters, find any grammaticals(,.:;!"), or numbers but then thats always the way with scripting, more to do, more to learn, more efficiency to find (or as it's called here napa-fy).
It would really improve the ease of adding simple scripts to non-script chatters mIRC. Trying to explain the simplest of script language to someone who doesn't know and is not interested anyway is still the most retetitively challenging thing about scripting.
The only issue I can see with it other than the forementioned access is accuracy of the pasted code being transfered into a script would need to be perfect, pure copy paste from the owner without any text alterations as some scripters favour replacers and colour themes, and then there are other possible reasons for inaccuracy like lag or disconnections... In my opinion it's a nice idea, but would be hard to impliment effectively.
A better way of doing it would be a popup dialog when you are transfered a file: accept / deny / accept & install
Then the script will be complete, and the person recieving the file doesn't need to turn it on/off simply click a button.
But I'm not sure if thats possible, to over-rule the incoming file dialog for mIRC.
Thanks to everyone for the interest in my game.
I've fallen off the radar a little recently, but if there's more need I'll re-continue my newer complete rpg game.
Everyone these days just seems to want an idle rpng (role playing NOT game) and I don't do those. weeks of work for someone to sit in a room silently and wait for random shit to happen for them... I just don't see the point, any idle rpg discussions always boil down to... "I can do nothing better than you, or, while doing nothing I had some good/bad luck."
It's far too easy rot your brain doing nothing than something, thats why I'm a gamer more than a tv watcher, a scripter more than a reader, a sport player more than a sport watcher (thought neither much hehe) and do the lovin' instead of watching it.
RANT OVER lol ja ne!
thats pretty useless as it is. anyone can do $len(words go here)
to be usefull you'd be better adding in a few more bits of information, and remove the er on the end of longer in the reply too.
else { notice $nick $2- is $calc($0 - 1) words, $len($2-) letters long $iif($0 >= 3,and $len($remove($2-,$chr(32))) without spaces,in a single word) }
liked and rated 8.
it's a 10 for usefulness
it's a 9 for coding (difficult to follow but exceptional as usual from NAPA)
and a 7 for editability.
If you could set the colours and the style to your own preferences then it would be 10 overall.
I've wanted something like this for ages now, but sockets never locked for me.
wouldn't it be easier to use $v1?
if ($super($+(complicated,retireval))) {
if ($v1 == 1) { do this }
elseif ($v1 == 2) { do this instead }
elseif ($v1 == savvy) { touch ProSec's hair }
I haven't ever tried it but I should think the elseif would make sure the $v1 would stay for the main if, although in this format it wouldn't make a difference. The point I'm making is you only need to log the first if as in existance then $v1 for what it actually is. that should shorten a code down but I have never seen incomplete if brackets in any msl script.
You mean things like:
%IPtrack. [ $+ [ $nick ] ]
%adminpass. [ $+ [ $nick ] ]
True enough, but also not all variables need that 2 point style, what about simple counters which only need one?
Or 3point ones like: %autopass. [ $+ [ $server ] . $+ [ $nick ]
(take note of that people, thats the kind of thing you need to stop you failing OPER when you connect to another server, I still have my autokill on failed oper. And I still use it.)
The way you have it now is permenantly set to 2point variables.
So something like %lolcount would become %lolcount.info and unusable (although it would be simpler to use /set
I understand that you meant it to help a standardised variable set, but isn't it better that everyone has their own style of doing it? Thats one of the reasons vars don't overlap across scripts very often.
If I was to consider using that, I'd need it to be multiple optional. $setvar(blah blarg blah INFO,3) or $setvar(blah blarg bleh 4th_option, INFO) etc which would make it recognise %how.many.are.needed for the variable in question.
For games on bots especially I can see this having a use once it isn't so restricted.
%uno.$nick.wins
%uno.$server.$nick.wins
for example.
It's just too simplified right now to be a properly useful tool. It's a 2.point or nothing type of alias.
That said I apologise for my inital derogatory post, it has more use than I expected but it's got more potential as more of an intermediate/advanced use for bot game coders than an initial help.
while you are at it why don't you add in:
/chat_in_room
/doing_an_action
/make_me_quit
/show_only_to_me
/who_is_that
/join_this_room
/leave_this_room
then you wouldn't need to actually know how to use IRC at all. You'd just have to learn those commands instead...
yes that was sarcasm, sorry. I don't mean to be an ass but seriously?
why not make the variables use mirc's built in /set and /unset along with /echo
that way people can learn the right way of doing it, and just add some echo reply information which mirc doesn't do as standard like: your variable was set/unset.
The closest I can see to useful is the getvar but that is easily accomplished with //echo -a %varname
There's no reason I can see for this at all. One of the first things someone learns for coding is the /set and /unset along with /echo -a
this just confuses the issue with unneeded complications.
If you are going to make a coding help script, why not run it as an interactive script that people can do themselves with mirc's normal commands. If It's for a bot then it's even easier, just make the bot pose hypothetical variable names and ask them to answer them.
how can I remove my variable? it's called: %kick.count.ROOMNAME (reply with !answer ...) !answer /unset %kick.count.ROOMNAME CORRECT! how do I check what is in my variable? it's called: %brb.count.ROOMNAME !answer /echo -a %brb.count.ROOMNAME Close! remember to use double slash. /echo -a will show the name, not check inside it. Use //echo -a now that would be useful for learning. As I can see right now you are just making new commands to learn and adding a bit of info to it.
