Noobbotter's World Traveler Userfunction

[kenzu38]

BTW can anyone get the id and coordinates for the npc in Syrbal Pass?

Position: (-6556, -7719, 1463) Id: 118219 "Snoop the Stubborn"

Oh and check what name it is called in the Tundra npc dialog. Is it called "Syrbal Pass" or something else?

Yep, it's "Syrbal Pass". And on a side not, from Syrbal Pass, the only option is to go to "Merdhin Tundra".

Thanks.

I'll let you know what I'm doing.

I figured noobbotters version of the world traveler is a clever but simple in it's implementation but complicated to maintain, with all the numbers and functions. I'm trying to make a version that is more complex in it's implementation but simpler to maintain.

I'm using an algorithm to calculate the shortest path, so all we have to do is maintain the zone table, that includes all the links, and it should work.

I've done the algorithm and I've done the new table and I've started the main code. Shouldn't be much longer before I have something to test.

I'm wondering if I should branch off and name it something else so that noobbotter can continue his own version if he wants as there might be some incompatibilities? But then it is based on his work. But then it is a complete rewrite. I still haven't decided.

Nice, looking forward to that.

IMO, it's probably better to make an independent one if it's a complete rewrite. Would be less confusing for other people. And then you can just mention his work in the credits section of the code. "Inspired by noobbotter's worldtraveler userfunction" or something like that.

I've encountered a bit of an issue. I'd like to be able to handle links that are automatically enabled but it's a bit tricky. Eg. I was thinking of adding Ayren Caravan in the hub link because it offers an alternate way to get to Lyk. Now if Ayren hasn't been visited before then the function will say it can't reach it but the link is automatically available at Reifort. So if you can reach Reifort then you can reach Ayren. The same is true for Dalanis. If Dalanis gets marked as not visited then you wouldn't be able to reach Southern Janost, for example. But of course if you have been to Obsidian then it can go to Dalanis via the envoys.

This means I'm concidering adding an optional override value to the connections which will increase the complexity. This is what an entry looks like at the moment.

Code: Select all

	Rorazan                  = {Zone=22, Npc={Id=118219, X=-20708, Z=-22750, Y=564}, ConnectsTo={"Varanas,Silverspring","Dalanis,Thunderhoof","Chrysalia"}},

2 bits of information are usually needed for a connection; the destination and the option string if teleporting. I've set it up so most locations, and the option strings to get there, have the same name so you don't need to specify both, such as Crysalia in the example above. From Rorazan both Varanas and Dalanis use different strings (Silverspring and Thunderhoof Hills) so the option strings are included.

I think adding a possible third value is starting to become too unclear. So if I add this option I'm thinking of switching to a subtable even though it would make the node table longer. Eg.

Code: Select all

	Rorazan                  = {Zone=22, Npc={Id=118219, X=-20708, Z=-22750, Y=564}, 
		ConnectsTo={
			{Node="Varanas",Option="Silverspring"},
			{Node="Dalanis",Option="Thunderhoof"},
			{Node="Chrysalia"}}}

Then I could add a 3rd option easily.

Or maybe I can just make a separate table of overrides. There wouldn't be that many. We just need to concern ourselves with links that go to hub nods. Eg.

Code: Select all

overrides.Reifort.AyrenCaravan = true
overrides.DalanisOsidianEvnoy.Dalanis = true

[kenzu38]

To me, it looks like an overrides table is the better option. But that's just me.

Anyway, just curious, is it possible to make it like the useGoodie function that also looks for names (like zonenames and NPC names)?

Yes, that's what I intend to do.

[kenzu38]

Nice to hear that. Looking forward to the new function.

Yeah make new one, call it Rocktrip (play on roadtrip)

Funny. I'm more of the practical name sort of person. I was always surprised that seeing as noobboters userfunction is called worldtraveler, why didn't he call the function "travelTo"? "travel" implies going some distance whereas "takemeto" has no sense of distance, it has the same feel as "moveTo". Currently I'm calling it "travelTo" and I like it.

hi rock haveing a problem useing noobbotter's traveler. All was working fine before the newpatch.The problem that im haveing is that when i use snoop from logar to varanas central plaza it will stop after teleporting to varanas snoop . It says "not close enough to nearest transporter npc:Lieve." And i would need to move the alt manully for the scripte to continue.

Code: Select all

	<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-746" z="-5946" y="33">speed(60)	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  2 --><waypoint x="-890" z="-5950" y="34">speed(60)	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  3 --><waypoint x="-1027" z="-5955" y="36">speed(60)	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  4 --><waypoint x="-1128" z="-5959" y="36">speed(60)	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  5 --><waypoint x="-1152" z="-5855" y="41">speed(60)	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  6 --><waypoint x="-1172" z="-5672" y="42">speed(60)	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  7 --><waypoint x="-1169" z="-5549" y="38">takemeto("VaranasCentral");  
      LoginNextChar()
      loadProfile()
      loadPaths(__WPL.FileName); </waypoint>
</waypoints>

I tried to adding another line so after he teleports to varanas snoop he would then move closer to transporter npc:Lieve and then got VaranasCentral.
but he still dosnt move from varanas snoop.

If you do a search for "Lieve" you would find this

And for Dalanis and Rorazan

I've been thinking of adding transport skills. At the moment it would be easy enough for a user, who has never been to Obsidian, to recall to Reifort first then do a "travelTo('Dalanis')" just as an example. But it would be easy enough to do automatically. If the function can't find a path from the nearby teleporter (or even if you are not near a teleporter) it could check if it can get to the destination via one of the transport skills. If so, it transports first, assuming it's not on cooldown, then starts the traveling. That means as soon as you get your second class you could successfully 'travelTo' Dalanis from any location. What do you think?

Hi all again
I'm back in game, so fixed noobbotter's World Traveler Userfunction for 5.0.10 + game version
until rock5 relese his version, you can use this one

-- ** Added transport to/from Syrbal Pass. Keyword "SyrbalPass" (wasnt able to test it, cose zone is no open yet on Nexon server)
-- ** Fixed Varanas, Obsidian, Rorazan and Thunderhoof teleport node's for patch 5.0.10
-- ** Changed Obsidian to Rorazan travel path
-- **===== befor (any Sqaere => Obsidian Dalanis Envoy => move to Dalanis Snoop => Rorazan)
-- **===== now (any Sqaere => Obsidian Snoop => Rorazan)

Report bug's, if there is any
Enjoy

LoL. It's ready now. I'm just going to go post it in a separate topic with a new name, it's radically different from this function.

[rock5]

You can find my new function here.

Be sure to read the new features list at the bottom of the page.

Nice, thanks for updating this userfunction, lolita.

For me, it's always nice to have a backup so I still downloaded your version.
