gretell.rc

[nooodl]

I made a Lua function that looks up monsters nearby you in the Gretell database:





On CSZO, add include += gretell.rc to your rcfile and assign a macro to ===gretell. Or if you want to run it locally, copy all of this (>600kB) into your rc: http://dobrazupa.org/rcfiles/crawl-0.14/gretell.rc

(Sometimes you get weird Lua memory errors. Saving and reloading should get rid of them.)

[Sandman25]

No need to copy it into your init.txt. I've just checked, you can save it into gretell.txt in the same folder with init.txt and then add include += gretell.txt to init.txt
Thanks a lot!

Edit. Oops, it broke autotravel, maybe it does not work locally.
"ch_force_autopickup failed: not enough memory
Lua error: not enough memory"

Is gretell.rc updated automatically when gretell is updated or does it have to be manually maintained?
This would be the coolest thing ever if not for the memory errors. Saving and reloading did not fix it for me.

I feel like this should be the normal way it works. Exact info is a lot better than this wall of text:
{Foo} is somewhat resistant to {bar}...

[nooodl]

I maintain it manually; I wrote a bunch of code to generate Gretell queries for all existing monsters and put them into a huge Lua table. I can recompile Crawl, update the monster list, and run it again when necessary; I don't intend to do so very often, since it's quite slow.

I'll look into the Lua memory issues... not sure what's causing them. Maybe I'll just get rid of the colours or something, those take up a ridiculous amount of string memory. (I can probably do some output-only highlighting anyway?)

Will it work with stuff like dancing weapons?

[nooodl]

I spent some time monitoring the Lua memory usage with collectgarbage('check') and I guess Crawl is leaking Lua memory in autoexplore or something?! When you walk over a lot of items it quickly skyrockets up to 2MB. I added this bit of code to ready() that just collects garbage when it starts reaching the limit:

  Code:

function ready()
  mem = collectgarbage('count')*1024
  if mem > 1700000 then collectgarbage() end
end

and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Patashu: dancing weapons are really hard to implement, so probably no, but I'm still working on handling some weird edge cases like mimics and hydras correctly.

Pan Lords? since those vary the most?

Two questions:
a) Does this thing works with webtitles?
b) Is possible to make it works with other server (such as lantea?) I've obviously tried to add directly the file, or the full path but that doesn't work

Yes, I've tried it.

b) Is possible to make it works with other server (such as lantea?) I've obviously tried to add directly the file, or the full path but that doesn't work

Yes, you just have to copy the whole contents of gretell.rc into your own rc file.

nooodl: Thanks for creating this, I love it :)

[Sandman25]

I still get lua memory error during usual play, I have

  Code:

<
  function ready()
   ParaAlert()
   AirAlert()
   BanishAlert()
    DmgTrack()
     mem = collectgarbage('count')*1024
  if mem > 1700000 then collectgarbage() end
  end

Maybe replace 1700000 with a smaller number?

[nooodl]

I've changed the threshold to 1.55 MB.

Pan Lords are randomly generated, so unless the rc cheats and there's an information leak in the LUA somewhere it can't tell you anything you can't figure out by xving.

[Patashu]

bump cuz I was looking for this thing

[dck]

dayum this looks pretty cool alright.

[Laraso]

I don't quite understand, what do you mean "assign a macro to ===gretel"?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.

[Laraso]

Is this no longer being supported? I'm getting errors that the .rc no longer exists.
