I worked a bit on my tracking script, getting it up to par and integrated into my newish system (everythings at my homepage, as usual). For those that don't remember, this script manages the highlighting of other players and locating them with THIRDEYE.
One nifty point of interest is the /define_dynamic_stacks macro which simultaneously parses CW, GW, COMMUNEENEMIES, and GUILD ENEMIES behind the scenes. I used to have those as separate commands, now they're all combined in one that's more efficient and less buggy. I wrote regexps to grab specific lines as well (no longer relying on ".*" catch-all statements) which means it doesn't grab and gag any lines it's not supposed to.
/define_dynamic_stacks code snippet:
I added a few lines to my script_management.tf file that cause this macro to be run every 5 minutes. Works great thus far, havn't really noticed anything going wrong.
script_management.tf code snippet:
I also made some changes to my three locating macros (things that parse WHO via THIRDEYE) to make them less buggy and more reliable. Thus far they're working great. One locates a specific player, another locates all players at a specific location, and the last locates all players at a specific person's location. I have aliases that make it easy to use the stacks/lists of players that the first half of the script uses (so it's trivial to locate all enemies, allies, suppliers, etc).
I'm not going to paste the whole thing here, screw posterity.
Here's direct linkage to a syntax highlighted version of the script: http://bwbettin.com/pages/programming/tf-html/tracking.html
