Congratulations to Khameleon for that.  What does he win?  Not a thing other than my thanks.

Probably not supposed to be posting these, but alas I don't listen very well.  Beautiful looking game so far.

Update! 11/5/2011
We are no longer accepting requests for scripter sections.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so one of the most common PMs I get is how to get your own script library.  Honestly, it's hard - very hard.  We look for people who are VERY active on the site and have several published scripts.  

So if you can't count your released scripts on 2 hands, and you don't have at least one script that has more than 100 downloads with constant support, you should probably not even request a section.  It's a pain to set up the rights to maintain the individual libraries for me, so we do require some pretty intensive participation.  If you have any questions, please take a look at the individuals who currently have sections.  Know that if you are participating at the above level, you probably won't even have to ask.  

Hopefully this will help explain the #1 PM I get and perhaps will clean out my incoming PM inbox.  heh.

Also, having a script section is a privilege, so you must maintain it.  If for some reason you remove your scripts or violate the site rules in any way, your privilege will come under review.

These subs return information about a targeted item.  Use Alt-F1 to create the target.  Finditem information appears in the text output.

Spacebar prints the X and Y offsets of the cursor for offset gump clicking.

Please note this requires my Subs Collection

Script Name: TrailMyx's Filesystem for OEUO
 Author: TrailMyx
 Version: v5
 Shard OSI / FS: sure, why not?
 Revision Date: 9/10/2010
 Purpose: Collection of routines to simulate the namespace functions found in
          the original EasyUO

 Functions:
      New(o) - creates a new namespace object.  You will only need one.
          OEUO example:  myns = TM_NS:New() -- create TM_NS object
          EUO example: none
      RegisterVar(nstype_in, nsname_in,kind_in, var_in) - registers a user specified variable with the filesystem
          nstype_in - "local", "global" or "lua".  "local" & "global" are used for interfacing with existing EUO namespaces as well
                as the TM_namespace manager for Lua. "lua" is used for lua-specific variables.
      Load(filename_in) - loads a specified saved file name.
      Save(filename_out) - saves a specified set of registered variables to a file.

=================================================================
So after a burst of energy on the CLAw for OEUO, I decided I needed to take a few days to work on a good file saving mechanism for OEUO.  If you've used either of my advanced file system or the unpublished TM_NGFS, you'll know there exists a way to save and recall things easily in EUO.

I started to port my advanced file system directly to OEUO, but I thought it would be nice to have a couple features of the NGFS (like registration).  But after working on that a bit, I decided to move it more toward something more generally useful for Lua.

So the new file system will have the best of the worlds of both my file systems, will be able to save/recall information to and from my namespace subroutines (for maximum compatibility) and will allow you to remember data types of the data stored.  Also, you will be able to remember shallow tables to help the saving process.

There's a few people that have learned how nice it is to use namespaces from within EUO to manage data.  Unfortunately, when you try and apply that concept to something similar within OEUO, you tend to find it difficult to port such code.  So I've written a group of routines that roughly mimicks the functionality of namespace operations.  Here's an example:

var = TM_NS:New()                      
var:Switch("local","ns1")              
var:Write("var1",5)                    
var:Write("var2",10)                    
var:Write("var3",20)                    
var:Write("vv3",30)      
var:Push()              
var:CopyTo("global","ns2","var") -- just copy everything starting with "var" to global:ns2
                                        
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","var1"))
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","var2"))
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","var3"))
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","vv3"))

results in:

5
10
20
nil

These routines are very fast since they employ hash table lookup for both the namespace reference as well as the individual namespace data entries.
More to come...

Here's a port of the pathfinding sub used in my rail engine.  It's always been pretty basic, but very functional for getting out of blocked conditions in Fel.

dofile("tm_subs_collection5.lua")
function TM_Pathfind(xdest, ydest, zdest)
  local max_retry = 3
  local retry = 0
  if UO.CursKind == 0 then
    max_retry = 8
  end
  local complete = false
  while not complete do
    UO.Pathfind(xdest,ydest,zdest)
    local timer = TM_SecondTimer:New{duration = 8}
    local move_again = false
    while not move_again and not complete do
      repeat
        local tempx = math.abs(xdest - UO.CharPosX)
        local tempy = math.abs(ydest - UO.CharPosY)
        local tempz = math.abs(zdest - UO.CharPosZ)
        if (tempx > 1 or tempy > 1 or tempz > 1) and (timer:Check() == false) then
          break
        end
        if (tempx == 1 or tempy == 1) and UO.CursKind == 0 and UO.Stamina ~= UO.MaxStam then
          UO.Move(xdest, ydest, 2, 1000)
          break
        end
        if timer:Check() == true then
          retry = retry + 1
          if retry <= max_retry then
            move_again = true
            break
          end
          return true
        else
          complete = true
          break
        end
      until false
    end
  end
  return false
end

Note: requires tm_subs_collection5.lua and you need to save this file to a lua file before you run it.  I've also attached the file.
