TrailMyx's IDOC Monitor/Looter v1.0c

[TaskForce]

Sometimes its also all about connection.
If you try an IDOC on an US shard from Europe, you will always have some penalty against those from USA.
There is only so much optimization possible in a script, and if you are quick enough and another one is as quick, two experiences are unfortunately possible:
The item is already looted by someone else but still visible on screen.
Your client crashes and does not loot anything at all.

Yeah I learned pretty quick that just because I see something doesn't mean it's there. My script ignores the item as it should but I ran over and tried manually the first couple of times. 

I'm also learning quick that private houses tend to have inferior loot to public ones. I suppose that's because when someone has awesome items in their house they want everyone to see them. The sad thing is nobody cares what's in YOUR house, until it falls

hi，just wondering I cant see your script nor file？ does it expired？ or missing？

Sorry, we have been having issues with the links disappearing lately.  It's technical, so I can't really explain it.  If for some reason you can't see the links, follow this method to the letter and with hope they will be present again.

Thx TrailMyx，Im coming back to UO from many years ago， will introduce myself to everybody else：）

[Gemviper]

I can't log in to check(re-subbed, version .8x while EUO is still at .7x) but is this script working with the most recent changes to idocs(all are private before falling)?

**edit** EUO was updated for this morning's patch and I tested it and it's working great. Was there any doubt? 

[Gemviper]

Hmmm, I spoke a little soon. I loaded it up and it was working great then, while I was still running around, it stopped recording anything to the log file.

- Pressing Save Idoc does nothing
- I am running as administrator for everything (UO client, EUO etc)
- Log files are present on c: drive but as I said no longer updating
- The menu in game is still working fine, as is the mark rune button

- Pressing Save Idoc tells me it saved properly in the menu but it's not in the file
- I tried rebooting the computer
- I tried deleting the files and restarting everything but now the locator no longer creates files
- I do see the windows command prompt appear briefly so something is happening
- I tested making cmd.exe create a file and I have permissions

I don't get it, nothing changed and I'm not sure how to make it actually create/write to file anymore. Any suggestions? Running on windows XP and as I said it was rocking for about 500 houses/4 houses in various stages of decay, then nothing.

**UPDATE** I have the monitor/looter script creating and writing to file just fine, it's the FINDER that just stopped working... this thread belongs in that script(tool_idoc6.txt), sorry.

[TrailMyx]

Unsure since it sounds like you've used this before with your setup.  There might be a problem with EUO assuming you've made no changes to your setup and gnomes haven't come and changed the script since the last time you ran it

[Gemviper]

I ran it a year ago, but I also ran it today without problem and while it was running it stopped recording to log file. This post and my post above should be in the looter/monitor thread  since I have this script working fine(including recording to log file in the same folder ?!?).

To be clearer it's the IDOC Locator that isn't saving to log file but it IS doing everything else and since I'm not running unattended it's not a huge deal, only that every house I find says it's a new find because there is no file to check against

I'll keep you posted if I figure it out, and yes I have checked and unchecked the "log to file" menu button a couple dozen times and retested, lol. /scratches head

You should put a warning label on this script "You Will Want MANY MANY accounts if you run this script because you will want to both search for more AND monitor for condition changes at the same time!"   

[TrailMyx]

The IDOC thing is pretty fun and addictive.  Lots of accounts would be very handy!

great script, it is what I was looking for. Unfortunately I am having an issue.
I setup it to loot chests, after a while my client crashes and I have to add items again.

Edit: I didn't realise that I can save lootfile, however my client is crashing, probably I won't be able to do anything in that case, is there a script which alarms you that you client has been closed whether can someone advise me something how to avoid these situations, for some idocs I'm using 4 clients and they are crashing one by one, which is very frustrating.

Thanks in advance

I'm looking over all options as well because I'm getting it handed to me in trammel a little too often. I think for Trammel I'll use my mage instead of my stealther/thief and I'll use packhorses too(if you can't beat them, join them right?) I had a question though, TM, if I wanted to modify this so that it simply loots everything and that instead of adding items to be looted to a file I add them to an exclude list, do you see any likely problems with doing that? I could then tell it to loot the contents of a chest and perhaps take commodity deeds but leave actual materials alone(too heavy).

Running Windows 10 I'm guessing this needed to be change in the script

set %prefix #CURPATH
set %logfile %prefix , #RESULT , _collapselog , #dot , txt
set %lootfile %prefix , #RESULT , _lootfile , #dot , txt

[JFSF]

How many people are still using this script? Curious as to how it still works with anyone using it at this time on the OSI shards.

[Gemviper]

The looter part of it is achtung since it requires visible items but it will still monitor and record house state changes and times.
