Bale;

Sorry, I was called away & didn't get back till you were gone, so I thought I'd answer your questions here before I lost 'em.

RE: Consult Scripts. How many rounds does the consult script act for? Does a consult script keep running until combat is over? Just for rounds it's specifically called? I totally don't understand how that works...

RE: appearance_rates() & ultra-rares; when using said function on the treasury, it returned -42.5 for that UR monster. It just seems a point worth mentioning, in case anyone wants to parse UR availability by location; wouldn't want them to assume a STATIC negative number.

Note:

I've updated the front page (again); it now includes a link to Help:Editing, where I will try to keep all relevant information on what needs work on the wiki. --StDoodle 13:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Nice job on Custom Combat Script! I fixed two minor typos, but otherwise it looks great. There are a few things I'd like to flesh out eventually, such as formatting (make sure to have a space on each side of monster / location name), mention that locations are acceptable, how to specify 2nd funksling item, etc. But most of that is "Regular Mafia" stuff, which, while I intend to get to, is after ash on my to-do list.

For now, I'm trying to keep up with tagging articles that need specific help, so keep an eye on:

• Category:Request_For_Information
• Category:Needs_Code_Sample

if you want to know where I need the most help.

Also, I want to eventually redo a lot of the regular-mafia stuff as well. I think it deserves its own section similar to "Quick Links for ASH Scripters" on the main page, with links to a page for each mafia tab / window. For page naming, I'd like to go with "Adventuring Tab," "Graphical CLI Tab," etc. to avoid any collision with function names. I imagine that a lot of the info on these pages will either be stolen from, or added in by Sally.

While in general this is a lower priority from my POV, I'd like to get the pages set up so that others can work on them.

If you want to tackle something more ASH-related, one thing that bugs me is the rather arbitrary (and in many cases outdated) categorization of ASH functions. If you'd like to go through the list & break them up more sensibly, that would be much appreciated!

As you may have noticed me mentioning on the forum, I've given you admin powers. Mostly, this makes it easier to quickly revert undesired changes, and to protect pages if needed. But also! you should no longer see nearly as many captcha's & such. --StDoodle (#1059825) 07:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
