Well I can't tell how common this is, but if you want to run a scripting service and maintain a large number of scripts then you pretty much must stick to one-liners in the actions; the actions need to say what should be done, not how it should be done.

If I for example find a bug in my deposit function, then I can just update a single persistent that contains the global deposit function (a library really), and then use regexes to write the updated library into all my scripts at once. If I instead write the full deposit action in the waypoint in every script then fixing bugs and adding features becomes much harder. Assuming that the action looks identical in all scripts even with regards to minor details like whitespacing, then I could still use regexes to update it globally but it's much easier for things to go wrong that way. I figure that most people who put their full actions directly into the waypoints doesn't do that anyway -- they update the actual code in each and every script whenever they want to change something, and this is a massive waste of time that I'm avoiding.

Essentially this is just an application of a fundamental programming principle called DRY: Don't repeat yourself.

awesome im 189 now but cant hunt anymore in souleaters there is too many enemies online, now im looking for another place but quit hard atm, but as soon I can i'll be back to souls and post more screens here

Night hunting:

Got Souleaters for myself the entire double exp weekend, got a level every 2 hours (including refill time) and took around 15 levels in total. Here's the final level-up:



The next time I go Souls I'm going to bring out the ML-gear.

I also scripted Grimvale for my EK, though there were some low levels team hunting there so I didn't get to test it much. I just gave it a quick run-through and verified that I could hit 600k/h while they were refilling, then it was back to Brimstones. Grimvale is really nice exp but the profits are kinda "meh" -- unless it's full moon, but then it's crowded instead. Later when I'll have time to test there script more I'll add some special areas and make a mage version too.

about grimvale script, if you make some mage version I could test for you, aswell as paladin my rp is getting 150 today, so if you make a rp version for easier floors I can test it too.

deleted some coments and now im going to edit this one till I finish leveling today, I guess I was spaming too much


died twice in a row idk why, first i realize it stops shooting ue (I guess it happened when I marked pvp safety) and second one I unmarked it and died same way, second time wasnt even full traped there was like 5 souleaters only... idk if it is lagging or smt


paying bless again now and gonna put it again and gonna sleep, gonna change for non-block mode, even I did it at last death but gonna try it again, I no more deaths, I was 193 and now back to 191, glad its double so I have a chance to get my lvls back (but probably not my money)

It also checks for players on the floor above and below you since the many levitation spots makes it hard to predict where players may appear. Furthermore, since mas vis and mas tera are too large to check properly, it won't use any ue if there has been a player on the screen in the last 10 seconds. And yeah, you really ought to stop blocking monsters, you're almost 30 levels below the recommended minimum level. Sometimes running scripts early works out --I do it alot myself-- but as soon as you die you really ought to back off and respect the level guidelines.

A little profit from yesterday:

There's that damn missing background color bug again. It seems like its possible to fairly consistently reproduce it by minimizing the loot, but I have no clue why it happens. The code looks good...

Edit: Damn I accidentally double posted instead of editing.

well its true, I ended almost 195 but someone killed me, im doing hardcore without block monsters I guess its gonna be better, also i didnt knew about this check thing, probably it wasnt shoot ue because there were people passing by for brimstone or ghastlys, also maybe it could found ppl in minus floors and didnt shoot ue, but as I said second death probably was about lag or smt because there was 5 monsters or so, not even close hard then other spots, btw great script specially if you play in some world that you cannot close cav for yourself, your exp is always gonna be way higher then other people probably making they pissed and leaving...

idk but i guess with lvl 210+ you can make like 800~900k exp with this script, if your world is full and good conection probably even more

Doing some Oramond root tasking using @Marjanekk's script. The bundled MMH doesn't notice when you loot a root so I switched it out for my own hud and fiddled with the prices so that when the hud says that I'm doing 46.2k/h profit it doesn't actually have anything at all to do with profits, but rather means that I'm getting 46.2 Oramond vote points per hour. This is really good. A good communication tasker might get 40 vote points per hour if you lure away the monsters. On top of being faster than communication tasking, this is also much cheaper, safer and harder to mess with -- and best of all, it consumes no stamina. The one drawback is that if there are many people trying to task at the same time you'll be splitting the original vote points, while a few people can communication task at the same time without any interference -- as long as they aren't trying to mess with each others, or running bad scripts that only work properly when you're alone. Beyond the hud I did make a few changes to the script: The script has a 2 minute wait in the beginning of the round. I changed this to take the actual time of your previous round into account so that the total round time, including the wait, always is 5.3 minutes. Roots take around 5 minutes to respawn so most of the time I've had ~15 seconds of buffer before I re-take them. This actually makes a massive difference in tasking speed. Well, for a few lucky fellows it might have been that 2 minutes was just the perfect wait time, but this method works good regardless of movement speed. I added a Root dropper since you don't need to hand in the actual roots -- just collecting them and then dropping them is enough. I removed the depot and bank from the script since it doesn't loot anything and I know that I have enough gold in my bank. I also had to remove the gold check from the supply buyer.

Edit: Finished. Got Glooth Bandit access in just under 7 hours. Cost me ~195k in total.
