Better than me still biggrin.gif *mutters about stupid scripts and the need to rewrite them on a one-day deadline*

okay well I got zmud now...be well all you Java people! whee.gif
Shiri2005-03-29 14:26:44
Darn you Athana! DARN YOU! angry.gif

This java system will probably suit me, I don't fight that much anyway. Thanks Akraasiel.
Manjanaia2005-04-01 11:35:34
Ok now I'm confused. When you're colouring the diagnose trigger lines, do you put the trigger line in the pattern box, and just the #highlight in the command box, or do you put the colour thing in the pattern box, or what?
Shiri2005-04-01 11:44:35
If I want to make the diagnosis of "insomnia" red...

Pattern box: {<}an insomniac.
Command box: #highlight red

The best colours to highlight in tend to be magenta, red and to an extent green. Pink is about as close as you're going to get to gagging on JAVA, as it's nearly black with the default background so it's easier to ignore, and you can probably stand to have blue as something vitally important (you can't really read it, but the blue message will alert you to that one thing whether you can read it or not.) Of course, what your CONFIG COLOUR prefrences are set to ends up messing with that.
Manjanaia2005-04-01 11:48:53
Wouldn't that be #highlight 9?
Shiri2005-04-01 11:51:49
Er...you can try that. I just use the colours, personally.
Manjanaia2005-04-01 11:53:24
Didn't realised it worked like that. Someone should pin this I will most likely need it again quickly at some point.

EDIT: Oh and thanks Shiri by the way.
Shiri2005-04-01 12:05:06
Quite welcome. And it won't need pinning, the combat boards don't get as much spam as the combat logs boards.
Manjanaia2005-04-01 13:26:57
I finally finished. Took me ages. I bet it doesn't work because I made some random mistake after all that.
Shiri2005-04-01 13:30:40
If I'm perfectly honest, a manual system like this isn't much good for escape anyway. Even if you do see your herb echoes, odds are you're not going to be able to escape because anyone decent will get around it, and you just won't have the reflexes and so forth, nor will you be able to deal with the spam quite likely.

Plus JAVA likes to kill you for having triggers at random times for no readily apparent reason.
Manjanaia2005-04-01 13:31:27
Well the automatic ones I did seem ok, but I doubt I will remember the macroes and colours.
Shiri2005-04-01 13:34:53
*checks the first page* Also, while echoes aren't that good, they're much better for manual curers who don't have a clue, as they don't have to colourcode things in their memory, they can actually get it to tell them what to do.

For example, in the command box, #echo EAT-MARJORAM-EAT-MARJORAM makes a huge retarded red thing that gets in the way of everything and tells you to eat marjoram. (It looks stupid if you don't have the dashes, and it's easy to miss if you don't do it twice, but you can experiment there.)

Also, I would actually disagree with the inr herb at the end of things. It's far spammier, it's unnecessary except in the arena, and in the case of things like stupidity where you might miss eating the pennyroyal but not miss the inr pennyroyal, actually hinders you.
Manjanaia2005-04-01 13:39:37
We can echo with JAVA?!!!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!?!!?!?!?!!!?!? WTFOMG!!! I did not know that, I was just thinking, "I wish I could get some f*****g echoes here!" Godamnit.
Shiri2005-04-01 13:42:34
...well, we can. halo.gif
Manjanaia2005-04-01 13:44:08
*sigh* *alters system, takes him another 4 hrs*
Akraasiel2005-04-01 19:05:29
You will want to also install a basic triggers system, as well as macro diagnose.

With the two layer system, your basic triggers will cure most of it, and then you can rely on color coding and echoes to clean up the rest.
Shiri2005-04-01 19:13:07
Why you tell these people to do the whole highlighting thing, THEN triggers, is beyond me. blink.gif But okay.

Oh, and aliases are better than macros for some people. halo.gif
Manjanaia2005-04-01 19:13:20
Woah don't confuse me more... I'm happy with my 'if i get hit by an affliction hopefully the trigger catches it' system. Like Norton Antivirus. Misses most viruses but it's reassuring to have it anyway.
