Afflictions Prioritising...

So I think I finaly have the basis for putting afflictions into my system, but I am not sure what priority they should be given. I have aeon as the first in the list, simply because aeon is retarded. After aeon I have stupidity, slickness, anorexia, paralysis... and then I get kind of confused. I do not know even half of the games afflictions and what they do, let alone what order they should be put in. I know there is some variation to curing priority (as it is a bit of a preference thing) but I also know some things are staple in msotly ever system.

Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated!

Love,mimi

Prioritize cures in their respective queues. If you can avoid it, don't mix-and-match the herbs, salves, purgatives, etc. There will be some inter-related checking to see if one queue is already healing what another one could, maybe, but don't limit yourself to one cure at a time.

I think the priority depends on your own experience. You might want to cure things that have a higher chance of killing you, obviously, things such as being disemboweled or missing legs. To a certain extent, curing afflictions that mess with other cures is good, such as anorexia, slickness, paralysis, and those. The rest are up to you to play with and see what works and what doesn't.

Ahh so I should have all of the herb affs in one table, all of the potion affs in another, and all of the smoke affs in another? Hrmm...ok then! Thanks for everything!

If it matters, I am using Mush with Lua.

Afflictions that require smoking to cure is on the herb balance. So you would separate curing between herb, curing/purgative potion and salve queues.

Don't forget that you can't cure aeon if you are anorexic. You also can't cure stupidity or slickness if anorexic. Make sure you have anorexia above all eaten cures in the queue.

so anorexia would more than likely be first in the queue, right?

Usually is the first in an herb queue, and slitthroat is usually the first in a salve queue. You also want asthma near the top of a salve queue, and slickness near the top of an herb queue. The afflictions that stop curing are dangerous to not cure immediately, since getting multiple of them compounds the problem. Aeon should definitely be handled asap though.

My system doesn't actually ever put aeon in a queue - it turns off curing, then checks for anorexia. If I have anorexia, it sends focusmind, otherwise, it sends drink phlegmatic. If I cure the anorexia and am aeoned, it then sends drink phlegmatic.

I have issues when focusmind doesn't cure anorexia though sad.gif

Wow... curing systems are so complex... my brain hurts already!


So I would have like...

CODE

afflictions_herbs {}
     afflictions_herbs.anorexia { cure = "smoke coltspipe", state = FALSE}
     afflictions_herbs.slickness { cure = "eat calamus", state = FALSE}
  }


Or something like that?
and then a different table for salves, etc?

You'd not have to cure anorexia first if you have Healing however and focus on getting rid of aeon first tongue.gif I always try to rid myself of epilepsy or vapors however given that aeon is not present. Then again guess you can always try to bedevil
