Dungeonsweepers (DGS) - Huge changes; read first post.

[Zaaps1]

we're releasing the AHK code for the drop highlighter:

I highly recommend using this code, and I will be using it myself.

It highlights searches for the words "blue" or "grimy" when you right click, and highlights that word.

This makes looting herbs and blue charms in drop piles in daemonheim easier.

 

Wicked cleaned up and revised the code for us.

Note that you must have wicked's functions also installed on your AHK for this to work!

If you don't know where to get wicked's functions, pm any dgs admin or just ask around about it.

you must also save the following two images somewhere on your computer:

 

and then input their file locations where it says CHANGE THIS in the code

 

example of what it does:

do note that the code is currently limited to only highlighting 1 herb and 1 blue charm per search.

This code only runs if your active window has the word "runescape" in it

It won't waste CPU searching for blue charms and grimy herbs when you're not actively playing runescape in other words :P

could make it highlight keys, but it is my personal preference not to have that in my code.

 

Can't you make a script that just clicks on them? I don't see the purpose of highlighting.

 

Well

 

1. The legality of such a script.

2. There's not always the need to pick them up.

Do you really need all these aids to Dungeoneer with? It seems to me that using them is only going to make you more and more dependant on them until you get to the stage where you find it extremely hard to train without them.

This.

The aids are mainly aimed at newbies to teach them things, imo.

For example, you should always pick up herbs and blues.

The map program teaches you to be aware of where doors are on the map, which is a vital skill many do not bother with, they just write / memorize who gated what.

Besides, I don't see how being reliant on these aids is detrimental to you in any way, except the rare time you dg on a different computer than regular, if ever.

[CharlieBrown]

These aids are created because a lot of people aren't picking up herbs/blue charms at all.

This re-inforces what you SHOULD be doing and it helps just incase you miss something.

I think the problem isn't with this new program from Grimy/Wicked, but potentially with some DG'ers

I'm not saying this is the case - but I'm sure that some people might start using that mapping/key program to manually record every single key

While that's not a detriment really, it can slow down the DG - if the keyer is stopping at every room to put keys on the map.

^This probably can be easily solved by just doing it in a DG or when idle, but not everybody would do that

This takes away from actually learning how to DG (A large part of which is recognizing the map and how to proceed) and simplifies it to a point to which it may be actually harmful to the users in question.

 

However, I find that when used right - these programs are a lot of help and can considerably boost your DG experience but should not be entirely relied on.

Either way, I think with time - even using this programs would make remembering keys/doors, and even to pick up random things almost second nature to you

Is there something special a keyer does during the start of floor?

 

Loot just enough to buy a toolkit. If u can't loot a metal thing, sell a few fish. Then open the base doors. If there is a gd, mark it. If not, carry the ggs down the most likely path based on glancing at the map. If u see a lvl 3 book or lvl 2 shade, kill it for gp.

Once you hit a gd that will take over 10 seconds, get back to ht and craft runes once you kill something for gp/ess. Also while you craft runes, someone should carry the ggs.

 

On another note, I recently heard that all critical path rooms have 2 gatherable resources, but I haven't verified this.

 

BTW, Toad sleeps too much, and he scams. I traded him blue dhides to teach me to dg, but he didnt teach me anything.

You'd just change your binds ;) buahaha

Hey,

 

I know it's not strictly dungeoneering related, but I'm getting 70 RC for a CSB before I go past 99 DG, and I was wondering if anyone knew the exp rates for ZMI and for steam rune crafting from 57-70 RC?

 

This seems to be a pretty hazy area in most guides - people don't really start reporting on ZMI rates until you're 65+ RC and I can't find anything on steam runes but i've heard they're 35k exp an hour at maximum pace.

 

So tempted to dump my 14 nulls into RC, but I'm in null-saving mode until I actually feel like maxing total.

[Jimmyw3000]

sry but 'i'm a slow keyer' isnt a good enough excuse to not key/host a fl.

You'll have to ask the person who kicked you, though you should've been given a reason before you were kicked. There are links to every chat mods' TIF profiles in the guidelines.

abnd1 floors are so ridiculously easy. Aside from getting cursebearer 24/7, the monsters in general just seem easier/weaker.

I've been busy all weekend with work, but I have the whole week off (yay...), so I'll be revising both the mission statement and the wingman section sometime this week. PROMISE.
