Hud showing different colors of loot depending of their price

[sylomex]

Hi guys with a friend we made this little HUD to show with different colors when you loot different value items.
All items value less than 20k appears in green and all other items value superior to 20k appear in red.
Its not really usefull but we were pissed off seeing the same color for a gold ingot and Boots of haste

init start

 REGEX_LOOT          = '^Loot of ?a?n? (.-): (.+)$' --TEMP FIX

 local warnItems = {"abyss hammer", "assassin dagger", "golden armor", "onyx flail", "composite hornbow", "twiceslicer", "relic sword", "bloody edge", "boots of haste", "demon shield", "golden legs", "hammer of wrath", "ring of the sky", "royal helmet", "steel boots", "vile axe", "zaoan sword", "demonbone amulet", "nightmare blade", "demonrage sword", "demon trophy", "dragon scale mail", "draken boots", "skull helmet", "amulet of loss", "ruthless axe", "zaoan helmet", "cobra crown", "elite draken mail", "heavy mace", "mastermind shield", "blade of corruption", "magic plate armor"}

 local warnItems2 = {"cluster of solace", "blue gem", "dracoyle statue", "green gem", "gold ingot", "knight armor", "knight legs", "spiked squelcher", "warrior helmet", "zaoan shoes", "focus cape", "skull staff", "amber staff", "fire axe", "gold ring", "haunted blade", "magic sulphur", "tower shield", "war horn", "chaos mace", "dragon lord trophy", "drakinata", "piece of royal steel", "shadow sceptre", "violet gem", "glacier kilt", "magma coat", "magma legs", "terra legs", "terra mantle", "crown armor", "mercenary sword", "spellweaver's robe", "war axe", "zaoan robe", "zaoan armor", "zaoan legs", "dragon slayer", "draken trophy", "dreaded cleaver", "sai", "giant sword", "butcher's axe", "skullcracker armor", "jewelled backpack"}

 local maxLines = 10 -- max lines to display at once



 local lootMsgs = {}

init end



setfontstyle('Tahoma', 7, 75, 0xFFFFFF, 1, 0x000000)



foreach newmessage m do

 local creature, loot = m.content:match(REGEX_LOOT)

 if loot then

  local message, color = m.content, 0xFFFFFF



  for x, y in ipairs(warnItems2) do

 if loot:find(y, 1, false) then

  color = 0x00ff00

  break

 end

  end

  for k, v in ipairs(warnItems) do

   if loot:find(v, 1, false) then

    color = 0xFF0000

    break

   end

  end



  table.insert(lootMsgs, 1, {message = message, color = color})

 end

end



while #lootMsgs > maxLines do

 table.remove(lootMsgs)

end



for k, msg in ipairs(lootMsgs) do

 setfontcolor(msg.color)



 drawtext(msg.message, 0, k * 10)

end

setposition($worldwin.left + 3, $worldwin.bottom - #lootMsgs * 10 - 13)

not really usefull? man this is amazing, thank you so much!

haha thanks dude i thought everybody will find that useless as hell ^^

@sylomex
Dude, i was checking and there is this function iteminfo('wand of inferno').sellPrice (for example) that returns the selling price of the item (based on the items.xml inside "tibiadata" folder) .. how hard would it be to implement this scripts in a way that it would check the price of each dropped item from loot message, and automatically decide if it is a green warning (price, lets say, from 2k to 19,999k) or a red warning (from 20k up)?

that would be amazing.. maybe @Leonardo could give us some hand ..

i would implement that myself, but I suck @ regular expressions, i have no idea how to store only the name of the itens on an array to check those with iteminfo()
now its up to you guys, regex masters, ahah

cant wait!!

Totally possible, but I just had another idea:

Depending on the value the message would be displayed from a gradient color from green to red (like a heatmap), being green a low loot value and red the maximum so far, what do you think ?

@Leonardo oh man, can you do such a thing?
if yes, allow me to pay you a beer .. i would definitelly donate a couple dollars to thank you..

it would be like

warnMin = 2000 (2k)
warnMax = 20000 (20k)

anything below Min, would come up was white regular message ..
anything between Min and Max (inclusive) would come up on color (gradient) from solid green (2k) to solid red (20k)
anything above Max would come up as solid red

Not exactly, the bot would choose the values for you, and mix many other colors.

@Leonardo i think it would be better if the bot would to do the gradiend thing only on drops between a pre determined min and max .. cuz it would suck to pay attention to some light greenish message just to figure out it was some shitty rod that dropped.
For me it would fit perfectly if it could work like i said:

- min and max that you could set on script
- below Min .. no highlight at all .. just white regular message
- between min and max, gradient from green to red ..
- above max, red

ofc those are just my 2 cents.. i really think that colorfull messages all around, even on cheaper drops, would confuse more than help ..

Indeed you got a point, but leave the colors to me, I'll do something smart.

I am 100% sure you will and i cant wait for it to be ready.
Thank you in advance .. and i really meant it when I said about the donation .. good jobs should be supported.
