Nothing desperately fancy, just a macro for automating handing in gambling tokens, trophies received from gambling, and unlocking mnemosynes. It keeps statistics on what you receive from gambling as well.

It being the initial release, it's currently version v1.0.0.0. Take it as 'Alpha' though- I've been using it and it seems to work, but I don't really know how it'll behave under particularly laggy conditions.

Link's in my sig. Enjoy.

Can you add the Mnemosyne Collector in Tufa?, Anid Al-Fadee at 13.3S, 5.1E Anid Al-Fadee will give you Gems of Cleansing, Purity or Stillness in exchange for Mnemosynes. Qalaba'r [74.4S, 19.3E] >> Qalaba'r to Sand Shallow Cottages Portal [74.8S, 17.8E] >> Anid Al-Fadee [13.3S, 5.1E]

This plugin works perfectly, nice job.

I uninstalled it after trying it out, it has one un-listed unique feature - it got me to gamble for the first time ever in-game, lol. I burned through 20 MMD and that's about all my cheap ass could handle.

In RL I bought a two-dollar lottery ticket once, about 25 years ago. Last one I bought, too. Hmm once I went to Reno and gambled away 50 bucks. First and last time I did that.

Not much of a gambler, heh.

Now upgraded to V1.0.0.1, including the Tufa collectors, and handing in Obsidian Hearts & Vapor Golem Hearts to Stone Collectors. NB: If you want to save your Obs heart for keys, make sure you include 'Obsidian Heart' in the 'Don't hand these in' box on the Options tab.

Apologies for the delay in posting, these boards haven't been letting me post for a couple of days for some reason.

I just hit 'Active Topic Notification' and add the thread to that list.

I have a link to my Active Topics page included in my startup group of tabs in my Maxthon browser.

When I open my browser, the last tab in my startup group is my Active Topics page on VN, which shows me both threads I have tagged for later use, and if any threads have had any action on them.

Very handy, simple, and easy.

no one said you had to understand them.. just follow them.

and I was just pointing it out in case you weren't aware... as I don't completely expect peopel to be aware (although they should be considering they should read the sticky posts before making a post).

either way.. that is what the PM to yourself or the Active Topic Notification area is really for.. so you don't have to clutter up another post with a bunch of "tag" or "bump" remarks. It makes it ridiculously hard to go through some of these threads when almost every other post used to be "tag" or "bump".... thus why the rule was created.. and it has cleaned up most posts REALLY well...

Aun Mareura the Collector 43.9N, 78.1W in Timaru is not accepting Uncarved Virindi Singularity Keys. Can you add Sings to the next version? People turn them in for the blue heal kits and the 25K xp. Other than that this plugin rocks, good job.

I'm probably going to add in a more generic item turn in facility in a future version, but this version was really only intended as a gambling aid, hence the virindi keys aren't included, as you don't get them from gambling.

It'll probably be a while before I release the next version though, I've got my hands full with RL issues at the moment (getting married in 2 weeks!)

How is that constructive to the post?

The whole spirit behind the "no Tag posts" rule is so that the thread doesn't get filled up with useless random junk.

It totally defeats the purpose to instead use some different words which still retain the meaninglessness of the "tag" posts.

And if you only did that to try to be cute.. it's not.

I can see that you don't have the posting experience as many others here, but please try to follow the spirit of the rules when posting.

Keep the posts meaningful. If you have something to add to the conversation, that's one thing, but to just post something as useless as "I like gum" adds no value to the thread.

*sigh*

Nice plugin, but some things I noticed:
- It seems to ignore the "Hand wings to collectors" option, at least I couldnt get it to hand any gold wings to a collector
- It doesnt hand Swamp Stones to collectors
- It screws up on Sclavi Tongues - guess the stupid emote collectors make when you hand those in screws it up because next item cant be handed as the NPC is too busy to accept while doing his emote. Solutions: Either wait a bit after handing sclavi tongues or (propably better as it might catch other problems too), check for "too busy"-messages, wait a bit when encountering one, then reset stage and start again with handing.

Gold wings- it's not the option that's the problem, I accidentally left gold wings out the accepted items list for 'Collector'. The collector in Candeth Keep, (Yukara Miro) will take them.

As for swamp stones, I didn't know collectors took them! I've always given them to Stone Collectors.

As for the sclavus tongues, not sure what's happening with this one, I'll do some testing. I did notice I've got it expecting a different response from Yukara Miro than the regular collectors, and they're usually the same.

The problem with testing is, I need to get my hands on a pile of sclavus tongues though! I'll go down the sclavus cathedral or something and get a few, then I'll see what's going on. When I get it sorted, I'll post an update. I have to admit, mid-stakes gambling is something I very rarely do, so I couldn't really test it as extensively as I'd have liked with the mid-stakes rewards.

EDIT: V1.0.0.2 posted.
* Gold wings will now be handed to regular collectors as well as Wing Collectors and Yukara Miro.
* Swamp Stones will now be handed to collectors as well as stone collectors.
* Swamp Gems (received from handing Swamp Stones to Stone Collectors) will now be handed to both Stone Collectors and Jewel Collectors.
* Will now wait for regular collectors to stop laughing after you give them a Sclavus Tongue before continuing.

- -- - - - - - - -

Winzip reports it is missing 2 bits in the file and is invalid.


Any ideas?

Hm.. I moved the website yesterday, I guess that one didn't copy over properly. It's odd though, I checked the first plugin, Corpse Tracker, and it was fine, I assumed that the other two would be just as fine, as I didn't do anything different with them, but I guess not.

I've uploaded it again and checked it, and it seems to work this time. Give it another try, any more problems, let me know.
