----->Requires Kal's OCR to work!<-----

NEW KALOCR REQUIRED
*Kal has updated his OCR because the Animal Lore gump changed size. Be sure to d-load the latest version!

Helps tamers to select the best pets. Evaluates pets using Animal Lore and shows the % of maximum for stats and resists.

The scoring system is NOT completed. Average for resists is shown.

Not a completed script yet. I want to put in more functions.

Planned Improvements:
- scoring system
- user input color coded system
-- eg: under 90% is RED, 91-96% is YELLOW and 97-100% is GREEN
- wild / tame switch so users can evaluate already tamed pets

Tamers - check this one out. I think you'll likey...  

I've decided to no longer support the full version. The Lite version (Stats and Resists) works very well and is much faster then pulling up another page in the gump to evaluate skills. There's a chance I could add the full version back at a later date, but I really don't see much of a need for it. There are some pets that skills are the tamers main concern (Greaters, Runes, etc...) but for the every day tamer, the Lite version works for 99% of what is wanted/needed. The Improvements listed above remain. There is more that I would like to put in to polish this script, but for the time being it's a useful tool for tamers to find good pets.

Updated:

v3.2 - fixed average stats
v3.2a - minor menu fixes

Updated:

v3.3 - added greater dragons

*Note: Dexterity is NOT used for averaging Stats! It's the only stat that can change significantly after taming.

Updated:

v3.4 - script structure update, more modular design
v3.4a - bug fix
v3.4b - added percentages for skills - NOW WORKING!
v3.5 - menu optimization
v3.6 - adjusted LPC for OCR
v3.7 - adjusted delays and optimized LPC

Updated:

v 3.7a - added nitemare type RJ

UPDATED:

V 4.1 Lite uploaded and working quicker then ever.

UPDATED: 01/12/2011

V 4.2L added Bane Dragon

V 4.3L added Greater Dragon item type, they finally split Dragons and Greaters types

UPDATED: 02/23/2011

V 5.0L reverted Greater Dragon item type, they are NOT split from Dragon types
V 5.0L fixed script from hanging if you miss your target when selecting
V 5.0L removed Bane Dragons for a bit while I get them fixed up
v 5.1L added band dragons

oh wow, cool, i'm new to the whole taming thing, so this will be very helpful.

[Cerveza]

There's a little glitch with the "Wild / Tame" switch.

I want to enable users to see how tame pets rank, as well as wild pets.

The glitch is that Hiryu's and Dragons each use the same item type, respectively.

How I get around that for Hiryu's is, if the target is an HH (hiryu) then I do an event #property on them and look for the word "lesser". If it's not found then the script uses the stats for the Hiryu instead of the Lesser Hiryu.

I can do the same thing for the super dragons. They are called "Greater Dragon" in the wild right?

The problem is that once tamed, and the name is changed, the script will not identify them correctly.

I thought about making a default attribute "zone" so if HP's are <600 then it's a Lesser Hiryu, and if they are >600 it's a Hiryu. I might still use this method. I'll probably write up a test version and see if it's accurate enough.

My first goal is getting super dragons put in, and ensuring it's a one click. So I work on that.

Cerveza, this Script is definetly needed (and by me!).  I do not know why, but I always have a hard time choosing which Cu is the best for fighting.  When I think it is good, someone comes along and says that the Strength is too low or the resists are not that great.  Super Dragons as well.  Choosing Colors for the Cu is not that hard.  I will definetly use this Script and be more than happy to test it out for you!

ORACLE

[Cerveza]

Great to hear! Script testers are the best peoples.

I use it in a certain way, and might not encounter the same things others will. That's why it's great to get solid feedback from other users.

I should have Super Dragons in today.

Be sure to post up your comments, good and especially bad!

Added Greater Dragons

[b@ndito]

very nice script, it remembers the tool of UO utility

[Oracle]

Cerveza,

Are you just having this problem with the Greater Dragons or it with all Tameable Animals?  Where are you getting the Minimum and Maximum Stats from?  UOGuide?  I am asking as I ran the script on my Cu Sidhes and they all came up with % in the stat boxes.

ORACLE

[Cerveza]

No problems at all. I used the Japanese Tamers site, along with UOGuide and UO itself... Stratics also.

For my next amazing feat... I'll pull this rabbit outta my hat.

Again? That trick never works.

I'll be putting in colors.

96-100
90-95
<89

Sound about right? I'll put them in each % result box as well as the overall score.

[Cerveza]

Updated: V3.4b

Percentage for Skills now works.

ToDo: Optimize script menu, math, tame switch, Greater/Lesser switch.

Inputs?

[Oracle]

I know I am doing something wrong because after I tamed my Greater Dragon I used the Taming Appraiser on it and I just received --'s and N/A's.  I have both Kalocr and 3.4b in the EasyUO directory.

Average Stas 0. / 0. Averagew Resists


ORACLE

[Cerveza]

I just tried the current available version and everything seemed to work.

Make sure you are targetting the dragon, if you miss when you do lore you get that sometimes.

What name is showing up when you lore it? If the word "greater" isn't in it's name any longer, then the appraiser will think it's a regular dragon and all the numbers will be off. Whats showing up for Max HP's?

[Oracle]

OK I will take a look --- so this will not work for Tamed and named Pets then to appraise them to see if they are any good or not?

[Cerveza]

Not yet. I have to put in all the numbers for tamed pets, and include a switch (tame?) I also have to include two buttons to evaluate tamed Greater Dragons, and Lesser Hiryu's.

The script currently does an event property on those two to determine if the word GREATER (for dragons) or LESSER (for hiryu's) is in their name. If NOT then the script assumes the animal is the other. When you rename a Greater Dragon, and take the word "Greater" out of it's name, then the script assumes it's a regular.

[Khameleon]

thats a good way to check, if your having problems determining tamed pets, maybe look for
IF Dragon HP is > 600 then its a Greater.  I don't belive I've seen a Normal Tamed Dragon have more than 500 Hp's
