The Taming Appraiser

[Cerveza]

Excellent! Great to hear.

Now I have to set up an adjustment so that the lore gump isn't in the middle of your screen

I'll have something worked out in the next version.

Cerveza,

I was running the script continuosly today and actually found it annoying that it took too long to load the information to get the results.  Sometimes I had to move the Lore Gump out of the way to make sure I was not going to get eaten by something on the screen.  I tried not to move it as I thought maybe this would help the information get populated into the Appraiser faster?  Often, I would just lore the Beasts and make a quick mental analysis if I should tame it or kill it.  I was taming in Ilsh where often times Paragon Greater Dragons would spawn.  Every once in awhile the Appraiser would come up with 0.0 for the stats?  I was trying to cycle the Greater Dragons to get a much better one.  The spawn there is almost instantaneous and it may be my superstition, but I think the Greater Dragons there have better stats then those at Demon temple.

It would be nice to see the Script appraise those Pets that you have already tamed to see if you should keep them or not as fighters.  I know others are into colors of different Pets, but I much prefer the stats!  I want to be able to tear up those Champ Spawns --to date I have not received one Champ Reward-- !!!

I agree that it's slow. It has to rely on calling the external OCR script from Kal.

I'll see if putting it in as a sub would speed it up at all. Other then that it's really about as fast as the OCR will allow it to be.

I *might* be able to put in a "total only" switch that would ONLY give the results... but actually that won't be any faster because the OCR has to read all the stats, resists and skills in to come up with the total.

One thing, if you look at the very first part, I put in a way for you to move the display out of the way.

CERVEZA,

I remembered that a friend of mine gave me this web site when I first started taming.  He said that it may help me to determine if my tamed pets were any good.  You may want to take a look at it and see if you can glean any information from it...

Yep, Kit's product. About a year ago I showed her how it was messed up, and she still hasn't corrected it. She has %'s and Totals mixed together in her formulas...

Try this... put in one of your pets and gets it's score. Then go back and make it's STRENGTH 1. Yes thats right, one point of strength. Now calc it. LOL if thats not funny enough, make it 999 and do it again.

[Cerveza]

Here's an example of her faulty formulas:

My Cu Sidhe, not bad, not the best.

HP 569 , ST 612 , DX 125
65/44/81/50/76

It scores a 4.1 on her scale.

I put in 1 Strength and score a 3.3

I put in 999 Strength and score a 4.5

[Cerveza]

*Oh and before I forget.

The Animal Lore gump opens at a set position on your screen. I have the X and Y coordinates set in the beginning of the script here:

Code: [Select]

set %kal_gumpX 0
set %kal_gumpY 0
Please feel free to adjust those for your own screen. Remember that X is the horizontal position (left-right) and Y is the vertical position (up-down), and that the numbers can be negative. If you want the gump to open more towards the left side of your screen you can use something like "set %kal_gumpX -100" and it will open 100 pixels towards the left.

Get in a safe location with a pet and play with those settings to ensure the lore gump doesn't cover your play screen.

I'll look into speeding things up, but I highly doubt it can be done. I won't sacrifice reliability for speed.

[Cerveza]

I took a brief look at speeding this up.

Couldn't do it.

I put in timers for Loring, OCR, Calc, Display and Total...

Lore = 5
OCR = 22-26
Calc = 8
Display = 0
Total = 50-60

There was something else in there too.... the biggest drain is the OCR. The only way I can think to speed it up is to make it a sub instead of a called script, and Kal doesn't want that. I don't know if it would speed it up even.

Sorry.

[Khameleon]

I wouldn't worry to much about the speed it runs preety quick for me.

[TabulaDes]

This has cut my taming time in half! No stratics or math needed! Thanks =]

[Cerveza]

Your very welcome, glad you find it useful.

I really wish there were a way to speed it up. I've played with barding difficulty so I would only have one number to ocr... but it's not very reliable.

Someday I may get energized enough to do some more with this. A separate start-up menu where the user can put in the values he's looking for, and a GREEN or RED to show if the selected one meets those settings.

For now, it's a decent tool for judging animals prior to taming.
