sleep.gif Sorry for asking for help with Treant on a thread devoted to asking for help with Treant? I've tried working it out myself, but I know very, VERY little about this type of code.

Dedicated to Treant and some info about it, not dedicated to help with it. Sorry.

Psst, answer e-mail.

I answer 99% of my e-mails. No idea to what you might be referring.

And (since no one reads all the info on my web site), I generally do not respond to in-game messages or forum PMs.

Welp, saw others ask for help in this thread. Sorry for misinterpreting something yet again. dry.gif

Many ask, few receive. Treant has always had the caveat that the code is free for those that are brave enough to figure it out or willing to pay for the help. I learned my lesson from trying to do a completely free and open system years ago.

Is it still l a r k i n (d0t) d i s c h a i _ gmail.com? Sent an upgrade question on 6/7 at around 4:00 PM US Central time.

EDIT: Messed with the e-mail to stymie the web crawlers. Spam is bad, people. sad.gif

I have your e-mail address under an alt name then. I did reply to that, though.

Zarquan has put large, bold notices on the Treant install/download page, as well as in the OP of this thread, stating that support is only available via e-mail and with a paid contract. After all, if he gave out advice here, everyone would get it for free.

You see other people posting here for support because they, too, have overlooked these notices. I'm not trying to dump on you, I'm just saying that Zarquan's made his position as clear as possible without putting in it bold in his signature. pfft.gif

Been using this for a little while now and very happy with its performance, so a thank you for developing and updating this is in order. wub.gif

Are there any compatible timestamp plugins for Treant?
Razenth2010-06-19 21:13:57
Add this code to your script.

function timestamper()
local time_ms = GetInfo(232)
local minutes = math.floor(time_ms/60)
local seconds = math.floor(time_ms%60)
local milli = ((time_ms%60)-seconds)*100
ColourTell("dimgray", "", string.format(" ", minutes, seconds, milli))
queue:add(function () treant:suffix(timestamper) end)
end

treant:suffix(timestamper)

I've wanted something like this for AGES, thanks. smile.gif

Is there some kind of reset command in case the system behaves badly? Autosipper kept on sipping mana, turning autosipping off and or and then the whole system off and on both didn't fix it. Had to log out and in to fix that, and this might not always be the desirable solution.

If that happens, and you've purchased a support contract, turn on debug and check your flags, then send it all to Iasmos as a log.

When things like that happen to me, I try to check if something is "stuck open", so to speak, which is why debug and flags are helpful. If I'm not sure, usually dumping the script and re-enabling it fixes it for me.

And, um, I posted a timestamper example months ago. It gets lost in all the other thousand posts, but it's there. So... YOU'RE WELCOME! tongue.gif

How do you do this? And no, no support contract, I'm a poor noob who hasn't even been playing for a whole month, so really can't afford that /o\\
Razenth2010-06-20 21:23:01
Reset. That's the command.

On the timestamper, I adapted it from Zarquan's code. So really, you're using what he posted so long ago.
Unknown2010-06-20 21:50:18
Though the code is free, it was never really intended to be used by "noobs," poor or not. I still recommend that all new characters focus on obtaining equipment, doing advancement tasks, and gaining circles before they really get into combat. Personally, I wouldn't get involved in PK too much before circle 50. (Not an admonition, just an explanation.)
Calixa2010-06-20 22:06:27
Reset is just the thing I was looking for, pretty obvious command too. And I use the system so I can bash and earn gold / circles more efficiently. Played MUDs before, so I generally understand systems, it is just certain specifics of systems that elude me like their commands biggrin.gif
