explore_stop for unequipped slots

[xbon]

I suggest some form of explore_stop for unequipped slots, like in the early game stopping for the first glove/boot/cloak/helmet/etc then once equipped it only stops if it meets your other conditions such as glowing_items/artefacts/etc, if it's not too hard to implement that is.

doable in the rcfile. Mine autopicks them, I assume that's close enough - there's some other stuff in there like picking up enchanted items that might be better than your own, relatively easy to tweak:

  Code:

# autopickup by Medar, tweaked by rchandra
{
local function armour_plus(it)
  local plus = string.gsub(it.name(), "+", "", 1)
  return tonumber(string.gsub(plus, "[^-%d]", ""))
end

local function autopickup(it, name)
    if it.is_useless then
        return false
    end
    if it.artefact then
        return true
    end
    local class = it.class(true)
    if class == "armour" then
        local good_slots = {cloak="Cloak", helmet="Helmet",
                            gloves="Gloves", boots="Boots",
                            shield="Shield"}
        st, _ = it.subtype()
        weap = items.equipped_at("Weapon")
        if st == "shield" and weap ~=nil and weap.hands == 2 then return false end

        if good_slots[st] ~= nil then
            if it.branded then return true end
   
            local cur = items.equipped_at(good_slots[st])
            if cur == nil then return true end
   
            if cur.branded or cur.artefact then return false end
            if armour_plus(it) ~= nil then
                if armour_plus(it) > armour_plus(cur) then return true end
            else
                if armour_plus(cur) < 0 then return true end
            end
        elseif st == "body" then
            local cur = items.equipped_at("armour")
            if cur == nil then return false end
            if cur.name("qual") ~= it.name("qual") then return false end
   
            if it.branded then return true end
   
            if cur.branded or cur.artefact then return false end
            if armour_plus(it) ~= nil then
                if armour_plus(it) > armour_plus(cur) then return true end
            else
                if armour_plus(cur) < 0 then return true end
            end
        end
    end

    return
end

Perhaps it could auto-pickup once and only once for an armour slot that has not been occupied, then turn it off immediately.

Thanks a bunch for the share, this works; never dabbled too much in lua coding so I didn't really think of the possibilities.
