---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Script Name: TrailMyx's Runebook/Spellcast subs for OEUO
-- Author: TrailMyx
-- Version: v1.2
-- Shard OSI / FS: unk
-- Revision Date: 8/30/2010
-- Purpose: Collection of routines to automate the use of the runbook and spellcasting including:
--
--          TM_NewCastSpell(whichspell, whichtarget, castretrymax, waitdelay, recovery_delay) - casts spell with programmed wait times, targets, etc
--          TM_TravelFromRunebook(method, locindex, locindexend, rbook_in) - travel from runebook with known FINDID
--          TM_TravelFromNamedRunebook(method, locindex, locindexend, rbook_name) - travel from runebook with known NAME
--          TM_RandomRunebookTravel(method, locindex, locindexend, rbook_in) - generates a random destination from a given rune range
--          TM_TravelFromObject(method, object_in) - travels from objects like runes and boat keys
--
-- Examples:
--    while true do
--      for x=1,8 do
--        TM_TravelFromRunebook("re",x,x,"IWEPUVD") -- travels from rune locations 1 to 8 and then repeats
--        wait(200)
--      end
--    end
--
--    while true do
--      TM_TravelFromObject("re","YDTXCND") -- travel to boat key
--      TM_TravelFromObject("re","IWEPUVD") -- travel to rune book present location
--    end
--
--    TM_RandomRunebookTravel("re",1,3,"IWEPUVD") - recall to a random location within the range of 1-3 in runebook
--    TM_TravelFromNamedRunebook("ga",1,1,"Zippyy") - gate travel to rune location 1 in runebook named "Zippyy"
--    TM_TravelFromRunebook("ga",1,1,"IWEPUVD") - gate travel to rune location 1 and runebook id IWEPUVD
--    TM_NewCastSpell(28, "self", -1, 10, 20) - casts spell 28 (Greater Heal) on the spellcaster

I don't want to widely release these yet since they still probably have some fleas.  But if you want to start playing with them, feel free.

Please Note:
These are required:
dofile("tm_oeuo_advjournalscan10.lua")
dofile("tm_subs_collection5.lua")

IMPORTANT!!!

You must save your Lua script before you run it, or else your "dofile" will not correctly include your file.

thanx TM I am working on a recall resource gather script in OEUO and this will give me some guidance on how to work around it.

[TrailMyx]

My testing seems to have these pretty solid.  But OEUO is so new to me that anything could go wrong.

[Cerveza]

Isn't TM_AdvJournalScan needed with this?

[Masscre]

I am just going to pull it apart and figure out everything on my own and write a new sub.  Its no fun if i use someone elses work and dont learn from it.

[TrailMyx]

Isn't TM_AdvJournalScan needed with this?

Indeed, I added the note to the main post.

[TrailMyx]

To my knowledge, I don't think there is another runebook subs suite out there for OEUO.  Really no *REAL* journal scanner either.  It's nice to be first.

I'm totally lost.. I tried to run this script.. I removed one of the examples.. Randome Recall from 1 to 3, I changed the ID of the book to one of the ids of my book (I assume I use EUO to get the ID) hit play, I get some error

...ony\Desktop\OpenEUO\scripts\tm_runebook_travel12.lua:28: attempt to call global 'TM_RandomRunebookTravel' (a nil value)

[TrailMyx]

You need to have all the subs I've published so far (runebook, subs, and journal scanner) in the scripts directory located in the OEUO directory.

When you get that particular error, chances are 100% that it can't find a file you were referencing.

BTW, I found a small problem with the gate travel part of the sub; I'll fix that soon.

[TrailMyx]

Well, it's a small problem.  When you get the confirmation gump that pops up on some gates, it doesn't click correctly.  I just ported the numbers, but didn't test that part.  I only tested on "normal" gates.

[Khameleon]

I installed both programs into the directory.. I just don't know what i'm doing in Lua.

[TrailMyx]

A couple things.  In Lua, you'll need to name and save your test file. In this example, I just named this test.lua.

Also, if you are starting a new script that uses these subs, then you'll need to include them with the "dofile" statement.  Therefore:

Code: [Select]

dofile("tm_runebook_travel12.lua")
while true do
  for x=1,8 do
    TM_TravelFromRunebook("re",x,x,"IWEPUVD") -- travels from rune locations 1 to 8 and then repeats
    wait(200)
  end
end

If you save this as "test.lua" and run it, then you should immediately get

TM_TravelFromRunebook -- I cannot locate this runebook

This means you are calling the routine and the error handling is taking over.

[Scrripty]

And then you should change the ID in the test script there to the ID of your book.  And it will work.

is there a way to find the information in OEUO?
