Coding Expertise Needed!!

I have been around the IRE worlds since Achaea days, and I've never been very good at coding Zmud. Which usually means, I wasn't very good at fighting seeing how all my curing reflexes just looped around one another leaving me standing there taking an express ticket to deathville. So, I'm begging you coding Gods to lend me some help. I do not wish to by a system, nor do I wish to have someone make a system for me. I want to do this myself but will need your help to do it.

I can do the basics...hell..a monkey can do the basics. However, when it comes to complex strings, it tends to go over my head. If someone could be so kind as to give me their basic setups for when they receive an affliction, eat an herb/drink a vial to cure, and when they receive herb-balance, regular balance and equilibrium and what not.

For instance, tell me what you have it set to do when you get..say, stupidity. (This is what happens when I get the affliction message, this is what happens when I hit the cure and this is what happens when I regain herb-balance.) I can always add on afflictons once I have something to follow.

I'd rather not buy a system off someone if possible. I've done that in the past and end up spending more time trying to figure thier system out than actaully trying to fight!

So any help anyone can give would be much appreciated!

(However, failing in my quest for help, I would be interested in hearing what one would sell me a stripped down, healing only, system for.)

The achaeacure project on sourceforge is an opensource thingy that a group of Achaeans implemented. http://achaeacure.sourceforge.net/ . It doesn't pretend to be the bees knees of system coding but it really is quite a nice (free!) example of some of the IRE-combat-related things you can do with Zmud.

Have a read of it. There's plenty of gems lurking about.

Might want to check out the pinned thread, Curing System Tutorial in the Combat Guide section.

Thorgal wrote a great piece on building your own system - easy to understand and follow.

That's the link to the thread I just mentioned!

I'll sell you a stripped down, curing only system for 50 credits, comes with interface and cures brilliantly and is pretty easy to follow the cures. Also comes with unlimited support from me.
Ekard2005-09-06 07:16:31
Donyt listen to Murphy, his system is good but if you realy want to write your own, then check this like that Thaemorn posted, read it and then if you still will have some more precision questions feel free to post here.
We will help you.

My Lusternia curing script (LCP) is 30 credits, but like my ACP (which is free), I don't call it the best there is out there. It's easily configurable and adaptable to your own methods of curing. The LCP is faster than the ACP. With the rate at which new skills are being added to Lusternia, though, I tend to fall behind in my updates to the script.

Good luck in your scripting, Ioreth. If you have questions along the way, just post them up here.
