I've opened a thread here for discussion related to our new item search: www.carrionfields.net/itemsearch/

And we've checked its non-limited, and we suspect it is lvl 30 or under - should we submit to you? Is there a way to expand this?

Thanks! I love it. A lot.

I suppose you can shoot me an email. There are a handful of factors that may exclude an item, one being a brand new flag that mortals can't see which prevents an item from being listed, at the area author's discretion. More likely though, the item is no_locate or something like that.

For the record, items with the following fields/attributes are not listed: no_locate, vis_death, rot_death and anything that cannot be identified. We also exclude explore areas, cabals and shrines. And lastly, the item must repop onto something. Items that are loaded via progs (e.g., quest rewards) are excluded as well.

Looking at the guy:

<worn on head>      a thick strip of red leather

and JSON:

    {
        "name": "a thick strip of red
leather",
        "area_name": "Desert of Araile",
        "material": "leather",
        "item_type": "armor",
        "flags": "bless",
        "wear_flags": "neck",
        "level": "16",
        "weight": "0 lb 10 oz",
        "armor_class": "Pierce: 5 Bash: 3
Slash: 5 Magic: 6 Element: 6",
        "weapon_type": "",
        "weapon_attack": "",
        "weapon_avg": "0",
        "weapon_flags": "",
        "affects": {
            "charisma": "2",
            "hit roll": "3",
            "save vs spell": "-2",
            "strength": "1"
        }
    },

The area author created three items with the same name for
three different wear slots.

.

a blood stained mining pick from Delar-tol is listed six times. I guess it's about area design.

It's just that the spell identify, and even low percentage lore shows them (which is one of the few trustworthy things with lore), so why not put it into the database.

keyword <item>

I would offer to have your,babies, if I wasn't married...and a guy.....

One question, though....

I saw the (sharp) flag on some bladed weapons but not others. I am unaware of that flag, or it's effects....

And so, I ask, is there a possibility it includes flags players aren't meant to see? Would it be problematic to keep those off the results?

There are a few weapon flags that are leftover artifacts of ROM that do absolutely nothing in CF. I'll rig the item search to no longer display them.

There are indeed flags that mortals aren't supposed to see, though most of them aren't really all that interesting. For example, one of them is what indicates that an item worn on hands can also be used on paws. I already made sure ITEM_UMIS_MORTALS_NEVER_MISS_CLEAVE remains hidden, so don't worry.

Just curious. ;) you do a good job for the mud and seem to be very familiar with all the code. Like zulg 2.0

It doubled the damage output on occasion, pretty awesome.

What is the IC/OOC implication of the dark flag? IIRC it says "Dark and cloaked in shadows", but as far as I know it doesn't actually DO anything. So is it just for flair, and not implying "evil" in any way?

nt

"dark" was another such deprecated flag. It looks like now it does do a whopping one thing, which is factor into Valg's new(er) armor class stuff. Still, it's 99.99% meaningless. I'll leave it in for now, but you really can ignore it.

I know I am asking for a lot of spoon...

But I can't help it.

Could one of my fellow players be able to post a step by step on how to upload/connect/automatize the new official item database with Cmud?.

Something like a button or an alias that would allow it to automatically do an id of an item?

like : Identify practice dagger

and I get an in text window display of all practice daggers or some such?. Or even a side window with the info, that would be so bad ass.

I don't know if its possible?, anyone knows how to do this?

This is not terrible pretty but it works for me in Zmud:

Make an alias with this text:

#file 2 "c:\zmud\carritems.txt"
#var tmp_list %grep( 2, %1)
#loop 0,%numitems( @tmp_list) {#echo %item( @tmp_list, %i)}
#unvar tmp_list
#close 2
#GAG Opened "C:\zmud\carritems.txt" as file 2
#GAG Closed "C:\zmud\carritems.txt" on file 2
#GAG Variable tmp_list removed.

Save this file in your zmud folder, it contains a text version of the item search.

Thank you very much for the help, that is pretty bad ass.

Our item search will hopefully have value by being up-to-date and accurate, but we also want this information to be useful to everyone in as many ways as possible.

So, if you'd like to access the information in the item search in a more computer digestible format, I've made it available here: http://www.carrionfields.net/itemsearch/equipment.json

The JSON file contains every item that the item search indexes and should be updated as often as the item search itself. Feel free to use it in your MUD client, mirror it, etc.

Got my own web item database based on mongodb, it fits right in with minor transformations.

Looks really good.

Can you put something into the academy to steer newbies towards it too?

Also, not sure how people feel about this but if someone filters for str, say, or wis, maybe just show the beneficial ones? It's pretty unlikely that someone is searching for detrimental stuff for a stat. Damroll being a possible exception, or even hitroll.

This item also works on felar forepaws I believe:


Name: some cloth wrappings Area: Udgaardian Plains
Item Type: armor Wear: hands Material: cloth
Level: 15 Weight: 1 lb 5 oz
Amor Class: Pierce: 3 Bash: 6 Slash: 4 Magic: 1 Element: 4
•Modifies damage roll by 1

•Modifies hit roll by 1

It's wear slot is just hands, but it has a flag that let's you wear it on paws too. If you were to identify it you would see "It would fit paws, too.".

I may try to find a way to make the item search clever enough to take some of those special flags into consideration, but it's not a huge priority.

Good catch though.

.

Awesome!!!

Cant even begin to express how usefull something like this is for me.

Big thumbs up!!

Many thanks!

thanks! this is great.

Love it.

Hope you continue to build on the idea and allow additional items to be searchable.

so much decent lowbie gear that i had no idea about! i love this addition, great stuff again Umiron and imms!

Though i doubt i'd use this extensively myself, for new players this is excellent.

It loads up quick, but when I was just pulling it up it brings up the whole list of everything. Maybe have it just load when you click search?

Awesome though :)
