[X] My Assistant

As many of you know, .85 patch (codename: Script Breaker) happened. As a consequence, pretty much all hovering scripts stopped to work.

But every cloud has a silver lining: while it's surely annoying, I guess this is also a good chance to get rid of the many versions of the various scripts that were lying around and unify them into one.

First step will be to list all the requirements, from which list we'll pick the priorities, submit to tenboro and know what's feasible and whatnot. I'm pretty positive that reloader-like actions like hovering and everything else that were previously legit/tolerated will remain as such.

In a second moment, we may start something like a crowdfunding to encourage coders.

Also, suggestions and updates are always welcome. Oh, and just in case, no PMs. Post here or nothing.


[edit]: just to be clear, this thread is intended to replace old gameplay hovering scripts, like Reloader(s), Mousemelee, Hoverplay, CracklingCast. For a request to be added here, it has to be quite mainstream. For all the rest, they'll be eventually fixed sooner or later. for very particular requests, you'd better

List of requested features/requirements for the script. Those in red have already been fulfilled, according to following posts (mostly on Altless and Mousemagelee). This means they may be or may be not good starting points, depending on how your script behaves:

Mandatory:

• Hovering (it goes without saying)
• smooth gameplay (it goes without saying)
• Spell chain for mages, reversible to a melee version: basically, only one script for both playstyles. Not negotiable
• Cooldown counter
• Round counter
• Turn counter (including speed and time spent)
• Buff duration
• Procs on monsters duration and stacks
• Gem Icon
• Stop on HP/MP/SP thresholds, Spark triggering and buffs expiring (buffs from scrolls included, preferably with an icon)
• keyboard (and eventually mouse) buttons bound to certain actions (ie: right click for Imperil, space bar to solve a hovering stop)
• ED/Flee confirmer
• All functions have to be configurable in the first lines. And in toggleable modules when needed
• Lines of comments for non-coders to understand what's happening and what to modify
• Support for both hentaiverse.org and alt.hentaiverse.org and all battle modes
• Support for at least Firefox and Chrome (personally i despise the latter, but since many people use it, well...)
• Credit for original coders if needed
• Support for subsequent fixes if needed, at least for a certain amount of time

Appreciated, but not mandatory:

• Heal rotation, including restoratives
• Stop on Channelling
• Clickable Riddlemaster
• Hide log
• Skip popups
• Track drops
• Bind spells to number keys (and possibly to mouse buttons too. ie: right-mouse Imperil)

> Stop on Channeling
> Buff Duration (useful to know few seconds in advance when they're going to expire)
> Procs Duration on Monsters (useful to know when Imperil and PA expire)
> Stack Counter for PA and BW
> Riddlemaster with clickable buttons instead of having to write and enter


Stopping on buff expiring, I don't know if it's allowed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

• Old bars look

With Altless and MousleMagelee almost there already:

[done]Hovering (it goes without saying)
[done]Spell chain for mages, reversible to a melee version: basically, only one script for both playstyles. Not negotiable
[done]Cooldown counter
[*]Round counter
[done]Gem Icon
[*]Stop on HP/MP/SP thresholds, Spark triggering [done exept for] and buffs expiring
[Done so far]All functions have to be configurable in the first lines
[*]Lines of comments for non-coders to understand what's happening and what to modify
[*]Support for both hentaiverse.org and alt.hentaiverse.org and all battle modes

And I would like to see the buff expiring to give an additional icon for that buff so you can quickly recast. And buffs include infusions and scrolls.

And I would like to see Heal Rotation (current HoverMage script does cure / full cure but not potion / elixir

And nice to have: Thresholds for appearing icon for mana draught, mana potion, mana elixir.

Alright, I'll list the stuff I had before 0.85 that I'd like to see again.

* Track Drops In Battle (post-battle readout of all the loot, credits and XP gained in battle)
* Percentile Ranges (values of certain important rolls in equipment pop-ups)
* Equipment Comparison (the ability to see base rolls and compare values with equipped items, etc.)
* Round Counter
* Item Manager (searching, filtering, mass selling/salvaging/etc of equipment)
* Scanner
* CracklingCast (stops hover and creates icon to remind re-casting buffs, take potions/heals at thresholds, stop channeling from expiring)
* No Blinking (for expiring monster debuffs and player buffs)

Sapo, Sickentide and others have done a great job already with replacements for some stuff like:

* hoverplay
* spell cycling
* effect durations
* gem icon + cast on hover
* skip popups
* hide log
* RE notification
* bind spells to number keys (the "Imperil script")

That's pretty much all I can think to ask for.

> Stop on Channeling

many people bitched about it in the past, i'd say to put it into the "appreciated". it'll still be configurable though.

Spoiler text - Highlight to read...

and afterall, you have 5 turns to realize you have a channelling...

> Buff Duration (useful to know few seconds in advance when they're going to expire)
> Procs Duration on Monsters (useful to know when Imperil and PA expire)
> Stack Counter for PA and BW

oh yes, thank you. forgot them.

> Riddlemaster with clickable buttons instead of having to write and enter

are people really so lazy? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) i'd say other food for the "appreciated" section... surely not a priority atm.

reloader and hoverplay had that line, as far as i remember...

hey, hey! please, let's not start with personal configurations. it'll already be hard this way. this thread is only for what seems to be the minimum requirement possible to play proficiently nowadays - that is, a hovering script. or at least, judging from what i read until now.
all the rest are things that single players will decide whether to use or not. also, i'd like for the first version to be as lightweight as possible. there's still time to make it heavier.

particular mention, item manager: i guess the best thing is to ask holy_demon to fix it, if possible. i already pmed him, btw.

Sorry, got too excited (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

- Better Melee (hover and press A to attack, because non-stop attacking isn't for everyone)
- Inline Difficulty Changer

is it possible to integrate a real live timer within the battle? which could be included in the turn counter
not just the time you needed at the end.

I get it that this thread is all about a combat script ?
What about out of combat scripts? I'd like Item Manager to work and I'm ready to give 100 hath in an associated bounty.

what does this do? i never understood it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

lesser priority, i guess. and besides, check here: [stopwatch.onlineclock.net] http://stopwatch.onlineclock.net/

just the first i found. google "stopwatch" and you'll find as many as you want.

You click on the difficulty name, it opens a scroll-down menu, you click on another difficulty, it takes a couple of seconds and updates the difficulty.
In every page out of battle.
Useful if you change difficulty often. You don't have to go every time to the settings, and scroll down to click the "apply", then having to get back to the page to start a battle.

oh, alright. still, not related to the hovering one. it'll be eventually fixed with time. or by asking to the author.

sure I tried to use it, but its not the accurate time since you to start and stop it yourself, thus switching back to HV after starting it.

Im just saying it would be cool to have a timer while fighting to know how fast you are at a specifc round in DWD or in a FEST for example.

what about trying to put the start button really close to hovering area? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

anyways, it's not a mainstream request (rather, first time i heard of such a thing), so i guess you'll have to find a coder and asking him directly. i also took the chance to slightly update the first post

a new monsterlab script is also excluded ? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

the current overlay is horrible 1 of my monsters morale/hunger is not even being shown! only the name of it.
and some others are bugged.. full morale but on the monsters list its almost empty.. I feel like we are in a Alpha version right now

Is there anyone out there working on getting a Hover going?

I assure you we will carry you around above our heads and treat you as a Gawd of such.

In the meantime.

I pledge 10m credits to the crowdfunding.
