58.175.86.180: I really take it the russian text was not meant for here

_____________________________________________________
== Front Page Article, Updates, and Questions ==

I noticed that there does not seem to be an complete guide on datatypes, maps, records, or anything else of the like. Would creating an article on datatypes, constraints, and setups be good? Or should info like that be put into their respective (separate) pages? Another thought also pops to mind; if the wiki were to have a "Beginner's Guide to ASH Scripting" tutorial (similar to the one on KoLMafia's sourceforge, but updated) things like this would fit in it well. Just a thought. [[User:Out of practice|Out of practice]] 04:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

'''EDIT:''' Also, what should be the procedure for us to follow for linking a function's short description (in one of the front-page articles) with its own (completed) page? I just finished an extensive [[map_to_file()]] page (in more detail than you'd expect), and a slightly-less-awesome (but still working) [[floor()]] and [[file_to_map()]] page, and was wondering how I should link them for the benefit of others (who wouldn't naturally search for its own page). [[Help:Contents]] needs an update with the wiki posting standards as well. Are the admins still around regularly?--[[User:Out of practice|Out of practice]] 07:26, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

== Updating? ==
Let's get started, guys. Soon enough, I'll have a list of all the functions, which I think should go in a wiki page to (as someone above said) search and link. Also, is there a way to do monospacing with code? --[[User:MagiNinjA|MagiNinjA]] 00:35, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
:You can get mono-spaced text by using <code> tags. For example, using <pre><code>EXAMPLE TEXT</code></pre> produces this as a result. <code>EXAMPLE TEXT</code>
:If you need anymore help, just drop me a line on my [[User_talk:Ksumoe|talk page]]. [[User:Ksumoe|ksumoe]] ([[User_talk:Ksumoe|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Ksumoe|contrib]]) 18:35, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

== Ideas... ==

These are my ideas that I have floating around in my head:
# A template to put all the relevant information about a function into a table (with proper colored backgrounds and such)
## I can do this; I just need to know what information is 'relevant'.
# Move this type of discussion to the Community Portal. Right now the CP is just a bunch of links (we can make a 'links' page and add it to the sidebar if needed).
# An overhaul of the main page. Someone said that they don't like the 'portal' type of look, but that kind of look has become the ''de facto'' standard for wikis, as it is the most popular. I'll pound out a rough draft on a subpage of my user space.
# Creation of a template structure. Templates for requesting deletion, protection, etc. That way non-sysop flagged users can 'tag' pages [[Talk:Bad title|such as this]] for deletion.
# Logo! 'Cause we need to be cool like that.
# Define a category structure. Do it now before too many pages get created.

Like I said... I'm here to help. [[User_talk:Ksumoe|Comments]]  plox. [[User:Ksumoe|ksumoe]] ([[User_talk:Ksumoe|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Ksumoe|contrib]]) 21:17, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

I added some links on the home page -- hope that helps users find more documentation... :) -Daychilde

I corrected the Script Repository link to http://www.kolmafia.us from http://www.kolmafia.ua. ;) -Regnar

== Links to Redirects? ==

While I understand the need for redirect, why are we linking to redirect pages? Why not use <nowiki>[[Page Title|Displayed Text]]</nowiki> links instead?

== Protection ==
Seriously, protect the front page. This is getting completely destroyed by spam [[User:80.189.248.109|80.189.248.109]] 12:05, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Is $wgSpamRegex set? If not it should be. If it is, it needs updating. Spam storming in like the flood! -divinewind420

== Current wiki layout ==
I was just curious if we could get the current wiki main page layout centered? As in simply putting <pre> <center> </center> </pre> around the main text.

== Test, just a test ==

Hello. And Bye.

== Nice Post ==

Again a fair post. Offer your achates

== Building up ==

As a person that is just starting in this(with no experience at ALL), I was sent to this site and as just a little helping tip, this list lots of functions which should stay that way but it never tells you how to put it all together(or atleast i haven't found the page that does).

Random

2010-01-12T10:59:43Z

58.175.86.180: Created page.

'''[[int]] Random([[int]] number)'''

Returns a random number below the integer given. (Includes 0)

So, if you used

<code>
random(5);
</code>

It will return a number from 0 up to 4.

Note: Must select a number value of at least 2, otherwise random will print an error and return void.

To skill

2009-12-29T09:57:21Z

58.175.86.180: Added link to example usage.

'''[[skill]] to_skill([[effect]] effectname)'''

Converts an effect into a skill.

An example of to_skill is used at [[use_skill()]]

Effect

58.175.86.180:

'''effect'''

'''effect''' is a data type built into KolMafia.
The permissible values for effect can be found at [[(ASHRM) Datatype Constants]]

Mp cost

2009-12-29T09:53:22Z

58.175.86.180: Created page.

'''int mp_cost([[skill]] touse)'''

Will return the MP cost to cast the specified skill.

MP reduction items are taken into account.

<code>
mp_cost($skill[Empathy]);
</code> 
Will return the MP a cast of empathy will cost.

Use skill

2009-12-29T09:48:39Z

58.175.86.180: Created Page.

'''[[string]] use_skill([[skill]] touse)''' 
'''[[boolean]] use_skill(int count, [[skill]] touse)'''

Attempts to use the skill listed as 'touse'.

The one returning a string is more helpful for battle as it will return the page html. Whereas the second will just say whether you have the skill or not.

This example will attempt to cast the specified skill as many times as it can with the MP the character has left. 
<pre>
effect chosen = $effect[Empathy];
use_skill(my_mp()/mp_cost(to_skill(chosen)),to_skill(chosen));
</pre>
