Off Topic / european power and us power and other electrical crap
« on: November 23, 2010, 12:41:33 AM »
Real basic explanation

In europe the standard voltage is 240v at 50 hertz. This means that one line of the outlet is 240v give or take a few volts depending on were the line is tapped at the transformer and how far the outlet is from the xfrmr.  There is also a neutral (sometimes called a return line) plus a ground line to allow free electons to return to the earth, where they really want to be. A step down xfrmr is used to take this 240v single line down to us voltage of 110v. But it dosen't do anything to the frequency (hertz) of the current in the line which is why US motors run slower in europe. washing machines, blenders, etc.

In the US we use 110v at 60 hz. This means that one line of an an outlet is 110v plus or minus a few volts for the same reasons as above.

In a US 220v plug there are 2 lines that carry 110v (not really but close enough)when you add them together you actually get about 208v (because of a crossover point). which is why there are 2 breakers in your electrical panel for a 220v outlet.

depending on how many prongs there are on the 220v outlet determines how easy or dangerous it is to convert that outlet to 2 110v circuits.
if there are 4 prongs it is super easy.
if there are 3 it is a little more dangerous. :D

While i  am not going to go into detail here, if you really need to do this let me know and I will try to talk you through the process.

Script Snippets / 2 donation subs
« on: June 07, 2010, 03:32:53 PM »
I had these subs in debug for a few days to see if there was any problems with them. Since there were no comments on them, I can assume I did the namespace stuff properly.

Donation namespace will do all the donation gumps that allow stuff in a container to be donated. It will not do tmaps or poison potions donation, as those are currently bugged.

Donation namespace 2 will do the donations that require the items to be out of the backpack to get donations gump to popup. It will put the bag on cursor, popup the donation gump, and drop bag back into backpack before finishing the donation. Once donation is finished it will open the bag and move it to hardcoded position (very easy to change).

Both files contain a sub called gump wait which I borrowed from one of TM's scripts that he labeled other peoples subs. If you are using both of these subs you only need to use one copy of the gump wait sub.

Usage of the subs is listed in the file.

So I think I finally came up with an easy way to pause a script while waiting for my connection to be restored.

I use to add a relogger to my scripts, but always found them a little combersome, and I always worried that I would accidently send someone my account info when sending a script to someone. And I finally came up with a way to pause a script while using a second script to relog into the game.

Code: [Select]
sub check_online
  if #CHARNAME = N/A
  {
    repeat
      wait 20
    until #CHARNAME <> N/A
    wait 120
  }
return
this little sub placed all over a script where I would normally have put my log in sub, pauses the running script while the logging script gets my sometimes crappy connection back up.
I hope this little bit of info helps people, and would appreciate any comments or other ways you might have thought of to accomplish this stupid, but needed task.
