Medusa scaler

[baldielocks]

This is a simple script to cut medusas scales. It should not be intrusive, and pauses when done, in case you are chaining them.

Script relies on Trail Myx's journal sub, which can actually HANDLE a sampire spam storm and still be accurate. Thanks for sharing this TM.
Thanks to Aastrom of Easyuo for the core idea of his script.
Thanks to Cervesa, for his many tips, and the ID's of other pointy objects form his bone cutter.
Thanks to Twinkle McNugget, Cervesa, JAF, _C2_ (for menu tutorial), Paulonius, and many others for chiming in to get me up to speed.
Thanks to all scripters who share their work!

Set UP: Have a knife in main pack. Hit play. Get within two tiles of medusa. That should be all.
Additional notes. Waits can be adjusted on the fly. I put in a soft wait that looks for must waits and other errors. In testing, this has worked very reliably.
If a must wait occurs, script loops back to previous section and re-tries while adjusting the wait up 1.

How many scales can you pull from one Medusa?  How much better are medusa scales than normal scales for making lenses?

How many scales can you pull from one Medusa?  How much better are medusa scales than normal scales for making lenses?

I generally get around 15 total scales from Medusa. Her scales work 100% of the time, while dragon scales work 90% or less.

[baldielocks]

You get 2-3 scales per attempt. 5 attempts max. avg is 12. OID is correct with the scale percents, but as with all things UO, it's not really 100%. I am seeing about 99%, but still a ton better than 90%. I am working on two more medusa scripts as companions to this. One is a statue attacker for either support or primary account. Other is a gorgon lens charger.

If a must wait occurs, script loops back to previous section and re-tries while adjusting the wait up 1.

I would put a cap on that. If you have a few pockets of lag you'll be adding a lot of delay in, and when the lag subsides you'll be wasting a lot of time.

I'd actually say it's better to get the message and accomplish it in 4 ticks then set the delay for 5 ticks just so you don't get a message.

Thanks for the input C. I am pretty lagtastic, so i spike up to 15 quite often. Just showing that I finally got journal scan i guess. Will update in new version with test inputs.
