| − | A relay script is a script that creates or modifies a web page in the relay browser. It is only in the relay browser that the effects of these scripts can be seen. There are two different kinds of relay override scripts. The first is simply known as an Relay Script. The second is a User Interface script.

| − | ==Relay Script==
| |
| − | Basic relay scripts are used to change the appearance of a KoL page. You will find many examples of relay scripts that you may download from the [http://kolmafia.us/forumdisplay.php?16-Relay-Override-Scripts KoLmafia Forums] to your /relay directory.

| − | For a simple Relay Script, there are several basic rules:
| |
| − | #The name of the script must be the same as the page it is overriding, except with an ash extension instead of a php extension. For users who have enabled relay override scripts, mafia will automatically call xyz.ash every time the relay browser attempts to visit xyz.php.
| |
| − | #Unless the script will display entirely new content, it should first load the unmodified page from KoL using the command [[visit_url|visit_url()]] with no parameters.
| |
| − | #Then the contents of the page can be modified with [[replace_string|replace_string()]] or other string manipulation functions.
| |
| − | #Finally, the modified page is written with the [[write|write()]] command.

| − | There are special kinds of relay scripts; scripts with user interfaces. As with a regular relay override script, they go in the "relay" directory. However, they don't override other pages; their entire content is created from scratch. These scripts can be accessed under the relay drop-down in the bottom-right of the top pane. Their names must start with "relay_" in order for them to show up there.
| + | false<br /> |
| − | | + | Returned: void<br /> |
| − | This can provide a pretty interface and automate tasks, but relay scripts aren't really suitable for long, ongoing processes such as autoadventuring, since nothing appears in the browser until the script exits. Also, writing them requires a rather different mindset than the sequential execution of a normal script: if the relay script presents options for the user, they are actually read by an entirely separate invocation of the script than the one that displayed the options. The areas in which relay scripts will be the most useful are user-friendly configuration of other scripts, and presentation of options for the user to carry out in the relay browser themselves since the script can simply link to any in-game activity.

| − | ===Writing an Interface Script===
| |
| − | For writing interface scripts, several features were added to KoLmafia.
| |
| − | * ASH predefined string constant __FILE__, which is the filename of the current script. This allows relay scripts to link or submit a form to themselves, even if the user has renamed them.
| |
| − | * ASH function [[form_fields|form_fields()]], which returns a string[string] map with all the name/value pairs from the relay request being handled.
| |
| − | * ASH string functions [[entity_encode|entity_encode()]] and [[entity_decode|entity_decode()]], for converting text that might contain special characters such as ampersands and angle brackets so that it can safely be displayed in HTML, and retrieving such text from form fields.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additionally, there are some excellent tools for writing form elements in interface scripts on the [http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?3842-Form-of...HTML KoLmafia Forum]. That script is a toolbox of essential functions for any advanced interface script so make good use of it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Example of User Interface===
| |
| − | Here is an example of a User Interface script. This must be saved in /relay with a name starting with relay, such as '''relay_breakables.ash''' to appear in the relay drop-down in KoL's top menu. This was originally presented by Jason Harper [http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?3769-Breakable-equipment-fine-tuning here] and makes an excellent example.
