Jeepers mister! Thanks!

a pittance of gratitude.

@Szanthax thank you very much

curious if this is a thing for anybody else or if there's a fix out there already, or maybe I even just missed it in the svo manual... I am having issue with the battlerage msgs showing up on the left side - beginning of my prompt line, as opposed to how they normally appeared on the right side - tacked onto the end. Is there a quick fix, or a svo key to use in my custom prompt?

@Keneanung on my phone at work so I am not sure how accurate this will be from memory. But! Normally my custom prompt is something like:
 | 5420h (100%) | 4820m (100%) | 2100e | 2100w | 34.9% ex - prone [battlerage + 6.0] 280 dragonsap
but on my newest profile it's flipped all the battlerage info to the beginning of the prompt line:
[battlerage + 6.0] 280 dragonsap | 5420h (100%) | 4820m (100%) | 2100e | 2100w | 34.9% ex - prone 
my question was pertaining as to whether there was a specific tag in the mudlet or about manual that I perhaps missed to move the placement of the rage information back to the end?

Keneanung

If you do "vconfig2", then click the "view" link for the custom prompt, you should see the string that is used for the current prompt. If you can't figure any issues with it, paste it here, maybe we can see something.

Even though I'm tempted to tease again, this time it's real: I just uploaded the testing release for Depthswalker which includes:
- Affliction tracking of the new afflictions
- Depthswalker package including class defences, word balance and age tracking
- Some other misc. changes (Sory morphers.. Didn't get around to look into morph tracking...)

To use the testing release, you will need to run "vconfig releasechannel testing". Afterwards, do "vupdate" to make sure svof downloads the new version and install it. The "testing" channel, as the name implies, will occasionally have preview versions of the next svof version when I think they are necessary.  When this version is released in the "stable" channel, that version will be also available via "testing", so you don't miss out. I recommend that channel to all who feel comfortable living on the edge and want to help to create stable svof releases.

Additionally, those of you who want the depthswalker package will need to uninstall their current svof package and install the one from http://svof.github.io/svof/testing/Depthswalker.Svof.v24.1.zip

I also included new default priorities for the depthswalker afflictions. If you use the defaults, do "vupdate prios" to get the new afflictions in.

This release cycle has some known issues, but I believe it's important to get the release out anyways. Known issues are:
- paradox tracking is relatively prone to illusions
- paradox tracking doesn't catch instances where paradox carries over logout/login

Major plans for the next release cycle starting 1st December are:
- smoothen above issues
- add paradox curing strategy
- Narrow down some basic anti-illusion for age tracking
- add a "med" equivalent for dilation
- Add lyre equivalent for Kail

Big thanks to @Ahmet, who helped fixing issues and contributed a lot on the defensive side of this release; @Kasa, who hit me repeatedly with Depthswalker afflictions so I could test how those work; and @Zulah, who helped me to nail the Paradox part down.

That's it by me, I hope I didn't forget anything. Enjoy

ETA: of course I forgot something... I'd really appreciate logs about all things relating this release. So logs where the release performs well as well as logs of situations that need improvements. This is a new class with new concepts. I'm pretty sure I didn't understand everything yet.

ETA2: I forgot to mention the new prompt tags: @age and @wordbal

Thank you @Keneanung, @Ahmet, @Kasa and @Zulah, you don't get enough thanks for the effort you put in.

Omor

Could someone send me the priorities of the new depthswalker affs, once they update the defaults? Curious where they're set to, and my prios have been altered too much to justify resetting.

Keneanung

https://github.com/svof/svof/blob/master/bin/default_prios#L481 you'll need to read them upside down (the lowest item has the topmost prio)

Omor

Ah, thank you!

Farrah

I know it's always been that way, but I -really- wouldn't recommend asthma over paralysis or impatience over hypochondria. It leads to pretty easy "noob kills."

Something like paralysis > hypochondria > impatience > timeloop > asthma > madness and so on would be much better for default. Just my two cents. I don't use default anyway.

Svo comes built in with a good number of quick-toggle aliases for things like this. The ones I can think of off the top of my head

pvd - Par/darkshade
pva - Par/asthma
avs  - impatience/slickness (apostate vs serpent I think?)

Aegoth

she's talking about updating svo's default prios, which have historically been ick

Ahmet

I realize that, was just pointing out.

Omor

The @wordbal and @age tags aren't doing anything for me. Age is blank no matter how many years I have, wordbal shows a "w" whether or not I have balance.

Keneanung

Have you restarted after installing?

Omor

Yep, installed dw svo, vinstall'ed, qq'd and restarted. I have |@age@wordbal| and it's showing |w| and that's it.

ETA: Restarted again just in case, now I'm getting the "There's a new version of Svof out" box in the corner, but when I click restart it just uninstalls the DW svof and that's it.
I did set release channel to testing, for the record. Am working on seeing if I can fix it, will come back to this.

Omor

Okay, got it fixed, must have been a weird startup issue. But, now wordbal is working, but not age. 

Ahmet

@Keneanung I'm not getting age tracked either. You already looking into it, or shall I?

Keneanung

@Ahmet I have some more chores to do before I can have a look where I messed up, so feel free.

Omor

So testing the DW svof. A lot of the things that are defaulted to be cured by svof, such as parasite/timeloop/depression, make you double up on herbs. I had to set them to serverside curing to actually get cured without me eating 2x as many cuprum or whatever. And paradox is super broken, but you know that already. Heh.

Keneanung

Super broken as in "more than I said above"? Any logs? Oh and yes, I forgot to have a look into the default server/client side settings...

Omor

Gimme a minute to find the part in my log, I'll edit this.

ETA: This is what I get when paradox-ed... https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/qf8kp-9X
No idea what that means, or if it's just code for when you guys do get paradox working.

Ankhareoutef

Seconding that SVO's default prios are ick (not just herbs). Don't think they need changed though - the system is free. Should expect people to do their own legwork

Ahmet

@Omor Think that might just be a testing echo left in. Not certain.

Keneanung

@Omor:
Yep, testing echo I forgot to remove. And age tracking should work if you disable anti illusion (tf ai). Sorry about those two things

I'll leave the PR open for a bit, maybe other things turn up, then do another testing release.

Aegoth

So I just got this when I loaded the zip: 

(svof): Loaded svo Dragon limbcounter, version 1.0.

(svof): Loaded svo Elist Sorter, version 1.1.

(svof): Loaded svo Tattoo Inker, version 1.1.

(svof): Loaded & ready to go, version 24.1 (homepage)

note: I loaded it from a blank profile

Keneanung

That's because there is no stable depthswalker out yet :P You'll need to "testing" to have this go away or live with it until 1st december

Turning off anti illusion worked!
And no need to apologize, you pushed out a release a lot faster than I could have.

Shirszae

So, this is something I've been meaning to ask, but never gotten around to. I find the svof way of changing priorities a bit burdersome, and tend to prefer sticking with serverside for that.  

However, more often than not svof tends to change the whole list back to what they were/are supposed to be on the system. Anyway I can keep it from doing that?

Keneanung

@Shirszae not really, since svof tries to keep priorities in sync. What bothers you about priority handling in svof?
