>Having built a few, I find the estimation a slight exaggeration, however, if you would like a core that simply needs the little details worked out, I've one you can have.
No thanks. If I wanted to use someone else's script that doesn't do as much as mine, there's already SFHunter out there. My script cycles through however many weapons you tell it to when you run it (supports all edges, blunts, throwns, brawling, halberd, and targetted magic). Arranges, skins, loots, picks up loot, changes loot settings on the fly if you run out of room for boxes, appraises, uses hunt for perception. If using an appropriate weapon for smite, it trains power perception by periodically checking smite pool and replacing slice or swing with smite in the attack combo anytime smite pool is above X. Has multiple brawl routines, including one that throws a shield bash into the combo, multiple throw routines (offhand, slow throwing for fatigue, etc.), and is all very modular, so if I want to add new combos and weapons, it takes very little time to do so.
>Honestly, I think he's understating the amount of code that genie can save you.
Well, Warlock for me, but yeah, basically this. I COULD make SF do all that, but without things like actions, gosubs, global variables, and running multiple scripts at once... it would take a lot of creative working around and extra labels. And would, at the very least, add 50-100% to the number of lines.
>Though with the loot updates and changes to the gathering commands, it has been cut in like, one third.
I could trim my loot routine by a little, but not much. I switched over to using stow gem and box, but may still have some old labels in there. Still have to have all the big messy tables for picking up any loot that isn't a gem or box anyway.
>Depends on what you call a real script. My combat ones are ultra simplified and a mear 134 lines long, include hiding/stalking/skinning and looting. Most of the lines dedicated to hot switches.
Anything that is only 130 lines long... I don't call a real combat script. I mean, from all the stuff mine does, 130 lines may as well be

put attack

>SFHunter
That is MatchRE free, and could be shortened by about 25%, 30% with the new stowing stuff since the box match tables could be 1 line instead of 10, gems 5 lines instead of 30+.
With MatchRE, you could be down 25% to +25% ~ %75%,
With Stow X, The new Skinning, and the new power perception, you could be up only %20 to +20% ~ 60%.
The current script I'm working with cycles through attacks that are appropriate for the weapon in hand.
Which is why I called it a script core, because all of the fundamental parts that would be for the new hunting script are in place. The fluff pieces such as changing to a different weapon/combat style is all that is missing.
I haven't decided how I want to cycle my weapons, which is why my script is (oversimplified):
top:
pause
put attack
match top alive
match look dead
match end self dead
matchwait
look:
matchRE loot /skinless|creature|table/
match arrange dead thing
matchwait
loot:
put loot
goto hide
arrange:
pause
put arrange
waitfor Roundtime
put skin
goto hide
hide:
pause
put hide
goto top
If there were no cost or sacrifice involved, there wouldn't be any benefits worth learning, and the entire system would be pointless. --GM Wythor

Yeah, that's about the length of my hunting scripts in stormfront (I have one for each weapon I train that link to each other based on certain criteria). It's painful to initially write them, but fairly easy to update and adjust them for new hunting grounds.

My genie script is super easy to update for new hunting grounds since i have an include for healing information and variables for critters.

I hope you don't mean 4000-5000 lines for each weapon.
I've taken the time to redo both of my combat scripts so that I don't need to update them for any new hunting grounds.
