Hello fellow exiles!
I'm an avid roleplayer looking for some advice and guidance in the world of Wraeclast and the game that is Path of Exile. Many of my friends recommended that I try out Path of Exile for D&D off time or when I'm not working on my campaign or figuring out schedules. The most entertaining aspect of any game to me is being my character. It's also the most important factor for me. If I cannot get into a character I can't play them. So I don't care how effective something is so long as it can work. A few deaths from learning and a death here and there because I slip up is no issue for me. Deaths make the game interesting anyways! The first thing I'm hoping for some help on is a loot filter. Setting up a campaign comes naturally to me, but scripting and text is very difficult for me. One of my friends usually helps me with this kind of stuff, but he's very busy with his life and I only occasionally speak with him due to schedule conflicts. When we do speak there are far more important topics that come up. So hopefully someone can help me set one up! I have to go now but I will post more information when I return from dinner!

" Role playing builds are fine as long as you're willing to make a small compromise here and there. You generally won't be doing the hardest content in game with a build that roleplays heavily but as a general guideline straight builds are more capable here, so a wizard or a fighter lookalike will do much better than a bard as most build tend to focus on a very narrow set of skills and stats. You can use one of the popular premade loot filters or we can help you make your own, in which case you will need to tell us what exactly do you need. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Thank you for posting, raics!
However it seems you missed my point. I'll go over what I want to do to help you understand. I want to make one character for each ascendancy that each character has. Three marauders, three templar, three duelists, three shadows, three rangers, three witches, and one scion. Just another roleplaying aspect, I'm afraid. I believe the easiest example to portray what I mean by "roleplaying my character" would be the witch necromancer. I would use minions and totems, but I would avoid traps, mines, and using most skills myself. It would be acceptable to use offerings to buff minions, because that is part of the game. However, I wouldn't feel in character with a necromancer that rushes in to beat enemies with a little cudgel herself. To me, the main reason you have minions is for you to remain away from your enemies. This is somewhat difficult for me with some other ascendancies. The most obvious one is the scion, but I assume that will clarify as I learn more about Wraeclast. But the actual classes can wait for a while. I don't want to start a game and realize I've been missing out on some good drops! The main purpose of the filter is for me to learn the difference between items and their value. Knowing what to keep and what to ignore and what is more valuable than what's in your inventory right now. I'm sure I'm going to be picking most everything up early on because I won't have anything, but I'd like to be able to cut back as soon as possible and that requires knowledge. I like to be detailed about everything. So everything in the filter will have to be an index of sorts. Everything listed on its own. One thing for each currency, for instance. This way I can have a catch-all at the end to show me what is missing from the filter. Could you start by clarifying a few differences for me? What is the difference between "Class" and "BaseType"? How do I list a Class? Does it require quotations? How would I list multiple classes? How do I list a BaseType? Does it require quotations? How would I list multiple basetypes? What is the difference between "DropLevel" and "ItemLevel"? What is the difference between "Sockets", "Linked Sockets", and "SocketGroup"? Is a script case sensitive? Can I put "basetype" or does it have to be "BaseType"? Is a script indent sensitive? Do I have to indent all conditions and actions or can I leave them un-indented? | |

It's fine then, sticking to the natural strengths of an ascendancy is easy to do. The thing about Scion is she doesn't really have a focus, her tree traversing capabilities and extra stats / skill points make her best suited for something like a Myolner blocker build.
" "Ring" or "Currency" are item classes and "Coral Ring" or "Chaos Orb" are basetypes, that probably explains it well enough. You just list them like this BaseType "Conjurer Boots" "Royal Bow" "Assassin Bow" Drop level is the level of an area the item can drop in first, item level is the level of an area where it dropped. So, if you drop an Exquisite blade in a level 80 area its drop level is 70 and item level 80. "Sockets" is the total number of sockets, "Linked Sockets" is the lowest amount of linked sockets an item needs to have and "SocketGroup" are colors. For example, if you put these lines LinkedSockets = 4 Sockets >= 5 SocketGroup RGBB an item would need to have at least 5 sockets of which 4 would have to be linked and have red, green, and two blues among those linked sockets (in any order), color condition is mostly useful for showing RGB items. Yes, it's case sensitive. It isn't indent sensitive but you should do it for readability.

There are a lot of items in this game! I totally forgot to explain my reasoning! Sorry about that. Part of the roleplay aspect of a game for me is I like to look at items. Looking at the other filters, I noticed they use color coding to help differentiate items. I want to avoid that as much as possible. The Catch-All is the only color code I really would like to use only to show me that I've missed something in the filter. I do want to use SetFontSize and PlayAlertSound to ensure I don't miss anything too good and to help differentiate between obvious items. Size ten would be tier one, size twenty tier two, etc. Last edited by Natural99 on Oct 25, 2016, 5:07:43 PM

There's no need to mention every item individually
These " Cane be replaced with this " You don't need to specify class if you're doing basetype, there aren't any armorer's scraps in a different item class. You can show all divination cards with class command and define alert sound, color and whatnot, and if you put valuable cards above the command for all you can override them with a different sound and font size, like this. " That said, divination cards are a very rare find, you won't have so many of them on screen that you need to filter them by value and most are worth picking up, it's better to just hide those that are utterly worthless. Here's what I'm using, pretty simple, it only accents a few things, hides stuff I don't need and splits currency into three categories.

" In my opinion, these would be: The Scholar (3/3 for 40 Scrolls of Wisdom) The Carrion Crow (4/4 for a Magic Life Armour) A Mother's Parting Gift (6/6 for Fertile Mind Unique jewel) The Metalsmith's Gift (6/6 for a white Prismatic Ring) Turn the Other Cheek (3/3 for a Pacifism Unique jewel) The Hermit (9/9 for Lifesprig unique wand) The King's Blade (5/5 for a Magic Bloodthirsty Eternal Sword) ----- Some of those rewards might be worth it for self-found (i.e. if you're unwilling to trade with other players), namely: The Hermit (9/9 for Lifesprig unique wand) The Carrion Crow (4/4 for a Magic Life Armour) The King's Blade (5/5 for a Magic Bloodthirsty Eternal Sword) Need game info?

Thanks again for posting raics!
The main reason I want to list each item individually is to make future alterations easier. I can change one item at a time and not have to worry about affecting other items or having to write a new script. It's also the reason I specify both Class and BaseType. From what I understand, something can also search for the name of a specific item, like a Soul Grasp Claw would show as both a "Claw" and if you specified "Soul" somewhere else without other conditions. I'd rather avoid it as much as possible. How would I set up a script to show Vaal gems with larger text and other gems with smaller text? | |
|
Sure, if you don't mind the amount of work, knock yourself out.
" You set a command to show "Gems" class and above it another command that has same class but also has basetype "Vaal", it will show vaal gems but won't show other items that mention vaal. It isn't really all that important as only a few vaal gems are good and they don't normally drop, only from certain containers. It's more important to show which gems have quality. Gotta say you're taking a bit of a reverse approach here, it would be better to play the game for a bit first and see what's worth picking and what doesn't pop out enough.

Oh, I love work. A lot of my time is taken up managing my campaign and players with their schedules. When I set out to do something I either go all out or I don't do it at all. That being said, I never just jump into a game I might invest into. I want to make sure it's something I would want to invest into. Sometimes jumping into a game without at least some kind of prior knowledge can give a newcomer the wrong idea.
It happened to me when I tried to run my first group of players. There are some things you should mention earlier and some things you should mention later and some you should wait for a player to mention. My first attempt with my campaign ended miserably. It was really depressing. Ever since then I've been meticulous in beginning new games. So this vaal script is just to differentiate items in the script. I can disable all vaal gems or show only vaal gems. That kind of stuff. Just wait until I ask for guidance on the characters! I'm certain there will be plenty of issues there that you will love to pick apart. |
