September 6th, 2015 by Diana Coman
diana_coman: morning [02:14]
diana_coman: mircea_popescu how much do you want for em diana_coman ? <- will auction 100 wm starting at 2k per [02:15]
diana_coman: btw, do you have any high q boulders for sale? or danielpbarron? [02:15]
mircea_popescu: i never mined boulders cause too heavy [02:21]
diana_coman: I know what you mean, but I basically need them for oil [02:35]
diana_coman: and if I use mine it's almost no overcraft [02:35]
diana_coman: so I'm not going to waste the lft and shrooms on that [02:36]
diana_coman: maybe daniel will mine them then [02:36]
diana_coman: I'm fine to dig up some claims and give you the threads to mine them for me so you don't have to carry them if you prefer [02:36]
diana_coman: they are behind the village area so not far really anyway [02:37]
diana_coman: is on a wm hunt - hopefully it will go better than previous experiences and then there will be more wms and possibly a lower starting price for the auction [02:38]
mircea_popescu: well you have a point. besides, only coupla hundred needed, that's not SO terrible [02:53]
mircea_popescu: let me finish this dolce de leche and ima dig you up some [02:53]
diana_coman: hanks [03:03]
diana_coman: thanks [03:04]
diana_coman: will go afterwards to see how the tlc goes too [03:05]
mircea_popescu: omf that sucked. [03:54]
diana_coman: wow, the village looks very nice [03:54]
mircea_popescu: wiped an imp, got 25 [03:54]
diana_coman: what, boulders? [03:54]
mircea_popescu: ya [03:54]
mircea_popescu: ahaha yeah. [03:54]
mircea_popescu: you biddin' on the goose ? [03:54]
diana_coman: I was still going through all of it [03:55]
diana_coman: how did the wm go? [03:55]
mircea_popescu: the wm ? [03:55]
diana_coman: you said you were going for a wm run yest? [03:55]
diana_coman: I got about 20 wm a bit earlier at a much much better rate - kind of 2400 cost per wm [03:56]
diana_coman: but tlc so far is terrible [03:56]
mircea_popescu: lobbes seems the bot skipped the rss ? [03:56]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ah, wanted to but never actually went. [03:56]
mircea_popescu: did a flesh and blood wm run instead. [03:56]
diana_coman: oh [03:57]
diana_coman: so far 2 tlc for a whole tool, ahem [03:58]
diana_coman: 5k per tlc [03:58]
chetty: mornings [04:04]
mircea_popescu: heya chetty. [04:05]
diana_coman: morning chetty [04:05]
diana_coman: chetty, it seems that a wrong set of ingredients for a craft still results in a "working" state or similar: I had first the wrong set of ingredients, but then when I corrected and attempted the craft again, I got a message "you stop working" and I had to try a third time to actually get it working [11:39]
diana_coman: danielpbarron out of curiosity, care to share how do you calculate your prices for what you sell? [11:54]
danielpbarron: base * some factor and then I reduce from there as time goes on until someone wants or until I find use for it [12:01]
diana_coman: hmmm, can't see how you did that for rr for instance [12:11]
diana_coman: base value is 66 at 100q or 186 at your q [12:11]
diana_coman: or you want 240 for them? [12:11]
diana_coman: or what is your factor, 50\%? [12:11]
chetty: diana_coman, I have not done a server update for that stuff yet [12:11]
diana_coman: oh, ok then chetty, don't know why I thought it was done, sorry [12:12]
chetty: np, I have been rather slow about patches last week or so, both wanting to be more careful and a bit busy preping new release [12:14]
diana_coman: no worries [12:14]
diana_coman: actually can you give a bit more details about "this release breaks compatibility with the previous clients"? [12:14]
diana_coman: I was working now on porting the craft bot to the new structure and thus making it work properly with the new server [12:15]
diana_coman: but now unsure whether that makes sense if the client is changed radically too? [12:15]
diana_coman: it is quite decoupled from the client really, but still [12:16]
chetty: well the primary issue for compatibility is some changes in sizes of the messge protocol [12:16]
diana_coman: it has to plug in at some points [12:16]
diana_coman: hmmm, guess I'll keep now to the internal bot part then and I'll see when the code is made available [12:16]
diana_coman: oh and fwiw I noticed I got something like 4-5 mode messages while I was just crafting some lengthy item [12:17]
diana_coman: not sure why but in any case that settled it for whether to go for the new structure or keep the old message-based one [12:17]
diana_coman: basically messages are too unpredictable really to rely on them [12:17]
diana_coman: so will just move it over to timer-supervised [12:17]
diana_coman: so it will still take some time to move everything and polish it for release [12:18]
chetty: well the messages are actually very predictable, but you would need to know the internals of each craft action ... [12:18]
diana_coman: you mean some craft actions are meant to receive like 5+ peace mode messages? [12:22]
diana_coman: moreover, I was crafting the same thing all the time and it wasn't the same every time [12:22]
diana_coman: so I can't really see how would that be [12:22]
chetty: well off the top of my head I dont either, but the program only does what it comes to do, if your bot does the same thing the server will respond the same way. [12:27]
diana_coman: oh, in that sense I'm sure it does (assuming the context has no influence though, which I can't even be 100\% about) [12:28]
diana_coman: but anyway, so far it seems to me that relying only on messages is really risky, so I'll stick with the timer approach as it's more robust [12:29]
chetty: I am thinking maybe it gets a click a bit before it expects it or something and causes it to double check some factors before continung .. [12:29]
diana_coman: that could be, I suppose [12:30]
chetty: moving things in and out of inventory could account for it [12:30]
diana_coman: maybe there were basically some delayed messages from that part [12:31]
diana_coman: but yeah, I can see then 1001 ways for this to go wrong if it relies on messages for action decision [12:31]
chetty: it check mode when you do that, move stuff, and figures out if it should send an overweight message that could accont for {extra{ messages [12:32]
chetty: and I think I have hit 1002 ways for it to go wrong relying on messages from the client :D [12:37]
danielpbarron: diana_coman, i have 495 boulders at 265 quality, in my storage, asking 100k [12:38]
danielpbarron: i'll go at boulders the next time i'm out gathering [12:39]
danielpbarron: should get some at quality 280 [12:39]
danielpbarron: i was getting close to 290 but someone else got busy building and now i'm doing it just to stay even [12:40]
danielpbarron: i thought i had a locked claim of highe quality boulders, but it was gone [12:41]
chetty: do you have the key for that danielpbarron ? [12:43]
danielpbarron: i left it on the ground where the stick would have been [12:43]
danielpbarron: i didn't have the details of that claim written down so it's possible i already collected and forgot to ditch the key [12:43]
chetty: ahh [12:45]
diana_coman: danielpbarron that's more than 60\% on top of base-value - guess you can keep them [12:57]
chetty: ever have one of those days where everything you touch seems to decide to break in some new and strange way? [14:09]
jurov: yes. or weeks sometimes [14:12]
danielpbarron: diana_coman, http://danielpbarron.com/eulora/shop.txt [18:59]
diana_coman: danielpbarron ok, I'll take the 93 boulders at 282q [19:03]
diana_coman: are you in the village? [19:03]
mircea_popescu: http://logs.minigame.bz/2015-09-06.log.html#t16:17:57 << how's that go ? [19:07]
lobbesbot: Title: #Eulora log for Sunday, 2015-09-06 (at logs.minigame.bz) [19:07]
diana_coman: you mean the move? [19:07]
diana_coman: the basic part is done (no use of storage) [19:07]
mircea_popescu: the timer part [19:08]
diana_coman: oh, that's quite solid and stable, but a bit annoying to figure out the right times to set [19:08]
diana_coman: hence I think it should just adapt [19:08]
mircea_popescu: btw, the tools also got new models. the samovar one is something else, i think you'll like it :D [19:08]
diana_coman: ha [19:08]
mircea_popescu: is kinda surprised nobody has yet noticed time to craft in fact depends on skill. [19:08]
diana_coman: atm the whole thing goes like /bot craft 10 noStorage 7 coarse frangible thread recipe [19:09]
diana_coman: which is kind of a pain [19:09]
diana_coman: where that 7 is how many seconds to wait for the craft as a minimum (it kind of checks and waits for more if needed) [19:09]
mircea_popescu: didja put the + and - in btw ? [19:09]
diana_coman: but the only sane way would be for it to figure out how long it takes and then stick to that rather than keep trying dumb-ass style [19:10]
mircea_popescu: /craft M congressional pulp recipe so it uses 2 goop and 12 reeds, vs /craft m using 1 goop and 11 reeds ? [19:10]
mircea_popescu: because if you have, i'd have pointed out it should ALSO get lowest q from storage if m and highest if M [19:10]
diana_coman: did I just say basic version, lol? [19:10]
mircea_popescu: :D [19:10]
diana_coman: that's quite why I kept it basic :p [19:11]
diana_coman: because of all that shit that gets thrown in as soon as you go there [19:11]
diana_coman: and re nobody noticed that's bullshit, lol [19:11]
diana_coman: just that yeah, it's not as if I figured out a formula to give for it [19:12]
diana_coman: (I haven't even tried to figure it out that precisely, true) [19:12]
diana_coman: and fwiw I think it was even said at some point in one of your posts - or at least a hint at it (would have to do a proper search to find the precise line) [19:13]
mircea_popescu: but anyway : most everything ion new version passed testing today, with the exception of the change making option in the bank. [19:13]
diana_coman: ha ha [19:13]
mircea_popescu: the bank throughout is badly mangled, as if written by turkeys, so may take a little more to fix. [19:13]
diana_coman: danielpbarron you there? [19:13]
mircea_popescu: but i expect client code may well be published tomorrow. [19:13]
diana_coman: oh, that's cool then [19:13]
diana_coman: atm I am anyway barely crawling with this in few minutes here and there [19:14]
diana_coman: is there anything going on today (event)? [19:15]
mircea_popescu: notrly. [19:17]
diana_coman: so is then the altar still stuck basically? [19:18]
diana_coman: oh, anyway, do you sell those famous 25 boulders, mircea_popescu? [19:19]
mircea_popescu: you want just the 25 ? [19:19]
mircea_popescu: i was gonna mine some more first [19:19]
diana_coman: do you have more ? [19:19]
mircea_popescu: not atm [19:19]
diana_coman: I'd take those 25 now and more whenever you have them [19:20]
mircea_popescu: alrighty will be in game in 5 [19:20]
diana_coman: I got a decent output a bit earlier, but I guess the quality is like less than half what you get so no wonder [19:20]
diana_coman: ok [19:20]
danielpbarron: diana_coman> danielpbarron ok, I'll take the 93 boulders at 282q << sorry i went afk right after i posted that lol [20:33]
danielpbarron: i'm gonna be hard to reach for the next few months [20:33]
danielpbarron: take time to play where i can [20:33]
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu is kinda surprised nobody has yet noticed time to craft in fact depends on skill << ??!!?? wtf [20:34]
danielpbarron: i did not. [20:35]
danielpbarron: it must get shorter though, because my macros all work [20:35]
mircea_popescu: lol. who knew players were going to be so individualistic :D [20:35]
mircea_popescu: well yes. [20:35]
danielpbarron: I'd like to [23:05]
danielpbarron: also, updated http://danielpbarron.com/eulora/shop.txt [23:05]
