In an attempt to get my little ebonguard the best weapons possible I wrote a nice forging script.
As usual, the files can be found at http://www.bwbettin.com.
Here's a link to a nice html version that's all highlighted: http://www.bwbettin.com/pages/programming/...ml/forging.html
WARNING:
Whenever you're forging something I highly recommend you put ALL other objects remotely similar away so that you don't risk ruining things you want to keep. For example, when forging broadswords you should put all other swords away in a pack or scabbard. Don't come complaining to me if this script eats your stuff...use some common sense!
Commands:
forge fire
- This will take coal out of your rift and attempt to fire the forge. If you get unlucky and create mercury, it will automatically get the mercury, inr it, and continue attempting to fire the forge until successful.
forge smelt
- This will smelt an item based on the forging id # (found through "forging"), take the metal comms from the forge and inr them. This is handy for when you've forged a lot of something and don't need them all, and is also used to automate other portions of the script.
forge pause
- This allows you to pause everything so that you can use balance/equilibrium to do something quick. Make sure you do it quick enough that the fire doesn't go out or you might FUBAR the item you're working on.
forge restart
- This restarts a paused forging process and picks up where you left off.
forge stop
- This halts a forging process dead in its tracks. There's no restarting it. Whatever you were working on will still be in the forge. Use this with caution, it's just here so you can quit quickly if you need to run defend your friends/family or a higher ranking person needs the forge.
forge finish
- This halts the forging process cleanly, after the item you're currently working on is complete and removed from the forge. This is handy when you need to stop forging an order of items early, or to stop for forging for stats process (described below).
forge status
- This echos the status of the current forging process to your screen. Handy to tell how many more items are left to forge in the order you're working on, or to tell how many weapons you've created in stats mode that successfully match the requirements you were looking for.
forge order
- This will forge multiple items of the same type without any further interraction on your part. For example: forge order 12 943 will forge 12 broadswords (design 943). The script takes care of getting the items from the forge, outr'ing the comms, etc.
forge stats-
- This is my favorite of the bunch. This command will continue reforging an item until it gets one with stats that meet your requirements. When it finds one that meets your reqs, it will put it in your pack and continue forging another. If the sword it just created does not meet your requirements, it will smelt it down and gather the comms, then start forging another. It will continue this process indefinitly until you either run out of comms or type forge finish or forge stop.
-
- to 185 and were forging a broadsword, any broadsword with the damage stat >= 185 (regardless of the other stats) will be marked as having met your requirements and saved.
- to 180 150 150.
- Any argument set to 0 is ignored. So let's say you want a broadsword whose damage is >= 180, speed is >= 165, and you don't give a flying f*ck what the precision is. You'd set to 180 0 165.
Now for a combined example of how a forging process would work.
You walk up to a forge, it's cold and unused. forge fire will get the forge fired up for you.
You want to forge a nice broadsword (let's say design #943). You'd like to save anything whose total stats sum to 485 or greater, any weapon whose damage stat is greater or equal to 200 you'd like to save, and if the combined stats have the damage greather than or equal to 180 and the speed greater than or equal to 165 you'd like to save it. You'd do the following, forge stats 943 485 200 0 0 180 0 165. The forging script will take over, outr the comms, and start forging. You can sit back, relax, and watch the show.
A half hour later you notice you get hungry, but you're still forging. forge pause will pause the process. Once you've regained balance you can use satiation and eat, then forge restart.
An hour later you decide to give up on your quest for a cool sword and want to go bash or soemthing. forge finish will finish the sword you're working on and stop, forge stop will kill everything and end it right away (the sword you're currently working on will still be in the forge).
And here is the raw code for everyone too lazy to click above!
