Scouts and poisons

[larrydoyle]

OK, I'm using eq2bot with an assasin for the first time. I have stacks of the 3 types of poisons in my bags, but I'm using hemo instead of caustic. So I've gone into the .iss file and changed that one. I have the maintain poisons checked, but it does not seem to be doing it. I let it run for a long time, and it is not using poisons in my bags. Do I have to equip them in the charm slots? I'm sure it works, so I must be doing something wrong. Can someone list the things I should check to make sure poisons work? Any help would be appreciated

I'd be interested in this as well. Also, is it setup to use the lower teir poisons? Or must I set those up manually?

 

[Pygar]

it uses keyword matching of what is in your inventory.

So, in the script where it said caustic, you change it to hemotoxin, it should work.

I've seen some buggy stuff with inventory checks though. If it doesn't work try moving something in your bags to get it to update the inventory array.

 

[ookami007]

So, as long as the poison name says hemotoxin, it will grab that and use it. Good to know. I have that currently, but I'll move the poison around in the inventory and see if that fixes things.

Thank you.

 

[ookami007]

I moved it from bag to bag and still it doesn't load it.

 

[Busygal]

Did you change the script? From what I am reading to use hemotoxin you need to change the script... or you can just use the caustic the script was built for

 

[ookami007]

I have restored the original assassin script and it won't use the caustic poison.

He's only level 47, so is it because he's not using T8? Does it look for a specific name... expert caustic poison? To activate? Must it be in a charm slot?

 

[ookami007]

I'm up to T6 poisons and still my assassin will not load any poisons, even though they are in my bag.

Oddly, he doesn't load his Stance as well.

Any ideas I could try?

 

[Pygar]

Pehaps use the script on the SVN?

It matches on the partial word caustic will load whatever caustic poison it finds first in your inventory.

If you somehow has some non poison called 'Pygar's Caustic Cake' or something in your inventory, that could be an issue. But I've never seen something in game that would match on it.

 

[ookami007]

I'm using the the script from SVN (unmodified) and have master's caustc poison in my inventory but it will not load it.

And also, it doesn't use his offensive stance either for some reason. I can't think of why THAT wouldn't work... but it doesn't.

 

[Smyrk]

I have had issues with the poisons not applying as well on my Assassin but it hasn't been a priority of mine to fix it yet.

As to the stance, have you checked the spell list XML file for the class and made certain it is exactly whats in your Spell Book? e.g. is it StanceName when it should be Stance: StanceName?

 

[lostsk8r]

hate to jump on bandwagon but never worked for me either, have apothecary's caustic poison in my bag, even changed the value for the damagepoison to [Apothecary's Caustic Poison]

 

[ookami007]

Is it case sensitive?

 

[Pygar]

works on my brig and swash. I don't have an assasin to test with.

 

[ookami007]

I just leveled up a brigand and it works with the brigand (caustic at least), so I assume there is an issue with the assassin script.

 

[Smyrk]

I identified the issue at http://www.isxgames.com/forums/project.php?issueid=97 and Pygar has it tagged as fixed now.

 

[Pygar]

Sorry gentlemen, I don't have an assasin to test with anymore.

I've put in the fix that Smyrk identified.

 

[ookami007]

Seems to work, though it doesn't allow enough time for him to finish before running off.

 

[larrydoyle]

It works ... thanks for finding the variable issue and getting the fix out.
