KrazyC Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hey guys. I've decided to start playing a bit smarter, so I wanna start making a database for equipment in the lands. The thing is, I have Zmud and I have NO idea how to make a script or trigger that will aid me. Can someone give me some pointers, or if they have a script, could they pass it on? It'd be a great help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelion Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Step One: Turn autologging on. Step Two: Open notepad. Step Three: Roll a Cleric/Healer/Invoker/Battlemage. Step Four: Identify every item you come across. Step Five: Copy and Paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahlos Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Or you can always buy one from eBay. I put mine on BIN for $49.99. Jk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrious Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 What I've begun to do is this. I've set up a script that will store everything that I ID. Depending on its align / antigood / antievil / neutral only, etc. It stores it to a file. I then have another program that I wrote that takes that information and applies it to a spread sheet. The spread sheet has multiple categories. IE: Weapons / Armor / Class of Weapon, etc. And with that I am building a huge database of all the items in the mud. If there is interest and no objections I was thinking allowing all my information to be accessed via the web. Basically, you would type in the item name and it would show you its stats. But, if the staff frowns upon that sort of thing. I'll horde all my knowledge. It is power after all.. - Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Horde away, the staff wouldn't really be open to letting that information out. Also some of the older players who spent time doing that themselves would be entirely pissed at you. Myself? I could care less, as a simple: score; wear item; score will give me everything I need to know about said item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celerity Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Instead of posting the IDs, I think posting the script would be better. It would allow people to make their own ID database. Give people the tools, not the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WagesofSin Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'd love that script too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyC Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 A script is exactly what I want. I've been playing around with scripts a bit now, but aside from basic triggers, I can't get anything to work. So hook me up if you can!!! Thanks!!

Grumpy Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Have you read this? http://www.zuggsoft.com/page.php?file=zmud/comado.htm Well following the instructions I was able to get mine setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zionpsyfer Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Depending on how client-centric everyone wants to be, it would be somewhat simple to just do a perl/php script to parse logs for eq that's been identified. Then using something like mysql/postgres or even sqlite, it could insert entries and check for dupes. Useful for everyone not running zMud.

Then using something like mysql/postgres or even sqlite, it could insert entries and check for dupes. That's basically what I did. I used PHP / MySQL. I have no issue making my script public if there are people who are interested in it. I just do not want to be in violation of my ToS of the mud or step on any staff members toes. - Matt.

Kinicky Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Drop them a message on the prayer forum to check for sure, but I don't think there would be a problem. And there are already SEVERAL people listed here that would be interested in getting that script, myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
