Do you have any examples of something that includes the NOT statement in a long string? If i just saw a statement that worked i could probably get it together. What i was using last night i thought was working until i saw some that should of been looted. Most would be one liners for me like OMIT Cursed, but in the case of the others it gets weird... essentially because i do not want to loot antique property items UNLESS they are a ring or bracelet, then antique is fine.
No examples really, just logically thought through. Knowing that a positive match will override the looting of the rule regardless of other matches, then you can make your rules accordingly.
In your example:
i do not want to loot antique property items UNLESS they are a ring or bracelet, then antique is fine.
OMIT: antique AND NOT jewelry
so if you have "antique beeswax":
antique = true
not jewelry = true
So this will omit EVERYTHING except for antique jewelry. You probably want to stay away from omit actually if you are trying to look for other items. If you are being VERY specific for this particular item, then omit will work for you. Actually OMIT: this AND that, seems to be logically a bad idea. OMIT: this OR that OR maybethis seems to make more sense.
You'll probably need to work with the normal rules instead so that things aren't COMPLETELY excluded. OMIT is a short-circuit that prevents the normal rules from executing if any one of the OMIT rules come back positive.
Edit: Observation just now from previous example:
OMIT: antique AND NOT jewelry
suppose you do this:
OMIT: NOT [antique AND NOT jewelry]
Now the sentence becomes:
So this will NOT omit EVERYTHING except for antique jewelry.Feel that? That's your brain hurting.. :p
