(b58c52d) ~Grimmier378Adv looting rewrite (#20)
# Loot N Scoot (Rewrite) ~ Now with more adv looting features.~
Because of the rewrite to fix some issues and add more advanced looting mechanics. There is a link to the old version on the Github Releases page.
Release classic lns · aquietone/lootnscoot
this is the classic version of lootnscoot before the rewrite. Creating this so users can go back if they wish.github.com
All configs, tables, etc are kept separate between the new version and the old. so you can swap back and forth if you so choose.
### New Checks
- Check invis and don't loot if invis.
### Decision and Rules Logic
- Decision making happens for each item looted. and overrides some rules based on our settings.
- Items Marked as Sell will be checked to meet our settings thresholds before looting.
- the same goes for items marked as Tribute
- New items that have a sell value will default to sell as the new rule, and similarly for tribute
- You will still see the new item popup and are more than welcome to change the rule.
- NoDrop items we first see, default to `Ask`
- if LootNoDrop is enabled we will check against the `CanWear` setting and it it is something we can wear we will keep otherwise ignore.
- if `CanWear` is disabled we will just `Ask`
### New Mode
- Current modes of operation are 'once', 'standalone', and now 'directed'
- Once is what happens when you call `/lua run lootnscoot` without any arguments or with arguments to sell,restock,tribute,bank etc.
- Standalone is when the script is constantly running and doing its thing in the background `/lua run lootnscoot standalone`
- Directed is where you call the script from another script `/lua run lootnscoot directed`
- This mode will only loot when told over Actors or you directly issue the `/lns loot` command
- If you include the lootnscoot folder in your scripts folder you will want to make the path `yours_script_folder/lib/lootnscoot` and you would load from inside your script with `/lua run yourscript/lib/lootnscoot directed scriptname`
- Check out the RGMercs Lua for an example of how to implement this.
### Items Table DB Changes
- The items DB will auto-add/update items as you and your party loot them.
- The items table has been changed to include more details about the items.
- Items are now keyed by the item ID:
- Using item ID, we can now handle items where there are more than one with the same name but different stats/flags.
- The DB will also store link information so you can access loot information from the table with a right-click.
- a Default Items.db is avail [Here](https://github.com/grimmier378/emu_itemdb/releases) this has all of the items dumped from EQEMU server defaults. Custom servers will be missing any customized items.
- if your server has modified existing items you will get updated information in the db as you loot the item or import / add it. the links should still point to the correct itemID and show properly from the server either way.
### ADV Loot Rules DB
- A new rules DB accounts for using item IDs. Unfortunately, this invalidates the old rules table since we never had the ID data.
- NEW Rules Section (Personal Rules)
- This is a per character set of rules for items.
- These rules will override all other rule sets.
- Order of Authority `Personal > Global > Normal`
### Config and DB Locations
- **Config Files:**
- Now reside in `mqfolder\config\LootNScoot\ServerName\` to keep things organized.
- Changed the config file format to `.lua` for easier loading and saving.
- **DB Files:**
- Reside in `mqfolder\resources\LootNScoot\ServerName\`.
- Keeps data organized, especially if you play on multiple emulated servers, preventing overwrites.
### New Loot Pop-up / Tab
- Displays information so you can decide on rules for items looted without existing rules in the DB:
- Item name, sell price, stack size, nodrop, lore, augment, tradeskill.
- On the first loot, the decision is based on your settings, with options to change them.
- **Optional Features:**
- A pop-up window showing undecided items for the session.
- A new "Items" tab in the loot window.
- **Additional Functionality:**
- A button with an eye icon opens the inspect window for item stats.
### Item Lookup Tab
- Look up any item from your DB:
- Shows items you have rules for or previously looked up.
- With a fully exported DB from EQEmulator, over 117k items are available (before custom items).
- **Interactions:**
- Right-clicking an item opens the inspect window.
- Left-clicking an item opens the ModifyItem Rule Window to add a rule for the item.
- **Customizations:**
- Right-clicking table headers allows toggling fields and rearranging their order.
- Drag-and-drop items to add them to the table if missing.
### Bulk Set Item Rules
- You can set the entire page worth of items to the same rule with the bulk set option.
- This will do only the items that are on the current page of your search results.
- You can adjust the number of items displayed in Increments of 10
- Added option to bulk delete rules from the current table
- Added checkboxes to the items tables, you can select items from multiple pages.
### Rules Tables
- **Searchable:** Filter by item name or rule type (e.g., Quest, Bank).
- **Right-click Interactions:** Opens the inspect window in-game.
- **Stored Links:** Includes links in case the items DB is deleted or rules DB is copied from another server.
- **Edit Item Button:**
- **Green Button with Pencil:** Indicates the item exists in the main items DB.
- **Red Button with X:** Indicates the item is missing from the Items DB but has a rule.
- Clicking the button opens the ModifyItem Rule Window.
### Import Items
- Import items from your character's inventory/bank with `/rgl importinv`:
- Bank data may not be fresh but refreshes when zoning or at the bank.
- Useful for starting with an empty DB or migrating to a new server.
### Loot Settings
- **Loot Corpse Once:** Tracks looted corpses to avoid re-looting.
- Unlocks the corpse if a new item rule is changed (e.g., from "Ignore" to another flag).
- **Can Use Only Flag:**
- Loots only items you can use/wear flagged as "KEEP," either via rules or evaluations.
- Ignores "Sell," "Bank," "Quest," etc., flags unless explicitly allowed.
- Helpful with `lootnodrop` and `lootnodropnew` enabled.
- **KeepSpells:** Keeps all spell drops regardless of rules or sell values.
- Actors Settings:
- You can edit any characters settings from the window, clicking save will send them the new settings and they will save them.
- You can clone a characters settings from one char to another. making setting up new groups easier.
- Added `IgnoreBagSlot` setting. setting this will ignore anything in that slot\bag when it comes to selling\tributeing\banking\cleanup.
- AlwaysGlobal: (default off)
- This will also make a global rule for new items when looting and when acknowledging the new item rules.
### COMMANDS
- `/lns` or `/lootutils`
- Arguments
- `sellstuff` sell to targeted merchant
- `restock` restock items from targeted merchant (must be in buy table)
- `tributestuff` tribute items to the targeted merchant
- `bank` bank items to targeted banker

### NO DROP
- if `lootnodrop` is enabled you will loot items marked nodrop that you have rules for
- if `lootnodropnew` is enabled you will also loot new items that are nodrop
- regardless of these settings a new item with no rules that is nodrop will have the rule set to CanUse to prevent the first person deciding its ignore.
### UI
- New Graphical toggle button
- Shows as a Plat Coin or a Gold Coin when there are new rules to confirm
- Left Click will toggle the main LootNScoot window, you can also `/lns show`
- Right Click will open the New Items window (if there are any new items to confirm) or you can also `/lns shownew`
- Main LootNScoot Window
- This is where you will find buttons to open the console, loot report table.
- You will also find the settings and Item rules and lookup tables here.
- Historical Data Window
- You can view recoded Historical Data from in game and search using most of the fields.
## Bank Tradeskill Changes
the bank tradeskills flag will no longer auto flag items to bank
Instead it will be checked when issuing the bank command.
When banking:
check rules and if its 'Bank' toss it into the bank
if the rule is not Global or Personal then check if the item is a TS item, and if we have Bank TS enabled.
if both are true then bank it.
this way we don't have rules flip flopping from this setting. and it still serves a purpose for items without overrides in global or personal rules tables.
