I'm just starting out, and I can't afford to buy credits, but I don't want to die a lot. Does anyone know where I can find a free sipping or basic curing system?

Which client?

Larkin/Zarquon/Iasmos released Acropolis free, I think.

Same for Whyte and his system.

Those are both intended for other IRE games, but could be pretty easily tinkered with to handle something as simple as sipping health/mana/bromides. More advanced curing is another story, though.

And if you just want sipping, consider writing your own. All you really need is a prompt trigger, a handful of now healing / ready to heal again triggers, a few variables and an if statement.

Kharaen and a couple others have posted free autosippers on these forums.

yay for manual sipping..? Anyone..?

Oh, forgot to say my client, sorry. It's Zmud.

Well, I would prefer to write my own sipper, I guess, except I'm entirely clueless about scripting. I know how to make a basic variable/alias/trigger, but I don't know how to do if statements and balances and all that stuff.

I have been using manual sipping, but I'm not very good at it and I die much more often that way than with auto. And for a basic curing, I'd prefer auto because after four years in another IRE mud, I still couldn't remember the curing. I would like to learn curing here, but since I just started, I don't think I would have any chance of surviving, at least a basic cure system would give me a chance to survive long enough to run to safety.

I tried to look through the forums for these things but didn't find much, at least for Zmud. I'll keep looking. Thank you all so much.

Double post, sorry.

Here's a link to the autosipper from Kharaen that I mentioned. If you already have some buttons in your GUI, change the buttons in this script to use 0 for that first parameter (instead of 1,2,3,4) or just omit them completely. Hopefully, this script gives you some idea of the logic involved in autosipping.

That looks quite helpful, thank you. I will try it!

Yeah, I have a script (on Nexus) for autosipping, but I never ever use it. I just think it's much more practical to sip (and eat sparkles, read scrolls etc) manually than to auto do it with the script.

I used Kharaen's sipper and it works except one thing I'm not sure about: in my variables, all the levels and percents are correct, but the button isn't updating as I gain experience. Anyone know what might cause that?

Edit: To clarify, the graphical bar is correct, but the number on it isn't.

The easiest way I've found is to setup triggers lines for the values in SCORE, so that you can just type "sc" and it'll pull the relevant values straight from the game.

I do that, and the graphical bar does update, from that. The part that doesn't update automatically is the actual number on the button. I can go in and manually update it but that's pretty pointless.

Oh, also, instead of using a set number for the health-sipping amount, can I set it to a certain percentage below max? If so, how?

Thanks for all the help.

hey there everyone i'm fairly new to the mudd thing and found out that if you can't type 100wpm you can't bash like you'd hope. well i'm one of those unlucky ones and the only way to actually survive is a sipper. is there anyone that can either can give me a basic sipper for nexus health, bromides, and maybe rub ring. or tell me where i can find a programing for idiots manual (programing is way beyond my understanding)and tell me what works for nexus

I use a semi-manual sipper. Crtl+H sips health if I have sip balance, Crtl+B uses my bashing attack. No typing! My bashing consists of mashing those two keys until I kill the monster.

1) Make a variable called sipbal

2) Keybind Ctrl+H
to:
#if $sipbal = 1 { sip health
#set sipbal 0
}


3) Trigger
You may drink another health, mana, or bromide potion.
to:
#set sipbal 1


4) Trigger
Enter an option or enter your character's name.
to
#set sipbal 1

This is off topic, but that's never stopped me before!


This is only true if you try to do everything 100% manually. As I'm sure you're beginning to realize, there are other ways to do things =D Not only that, most of us can't type fast enough to handle everything that's going on in most situations. As you play, you'll slowly build up a set of triggers to handle reactions for you that you aren't fast enough to handle manually. Autosippers handle the "I'm hurt, I should sip" reaction, but don't neglect the "I'm afflicted, I should cure it" or "I'm logging out, I should dissolve my meld" reactions. And later, the more complicated ones, like "my target just snorted a spore, I should drop a monolith sigil to stop them from getting away" or "I just contemplated my target and his mana is below half, I should immediately toadcuse/absolve/wrack him."

thanks guys i'll try that one and let you know how it works. does anyone know if a trigger from zmudd will work on nexus?

Triggers from zMUD definitely will not work in Nexus. You'll need to modify the pattern and/or commands for 99% of triggers before they'll work in Nexus.

Well got it all but the variable part. Once i started i realized that i still needed the prog. for the variables of sipbal. I've said it before and i'm still not afraid to admit, i'm a complete idiot when it comes to programming. Could some one help for that too?

If you post what you have here, I am sure answers will be forthcoming pretty rapidly.
