I just wrote a program that creates the pickit.ini for you...

[Zyrk]

It asks you y/n on ever item. If you say yes, it writes the whole

code=xxx
description=xxxxxxxxxxxx
pickup=1
log=1

But if you say no, it doesnt write anything. Now what I'm asking is does the little "[xxx]" have to be at the top for the pickit to read it? I wouldn't think it would have to be there, but I'm just checking to see if this wouldnt work. Once I finalize it, I'll give it to you people here and you can mess around with it.

 

[Zyrk]

I'm finished, I think. Here's the source code in C++. It requires 2 notepad files, though, so I'll attach them in my next 2 posts. Compile it and put the 2 .txt files in the same folder as the program. If you don't, the program will give you an infinite number of blank lines and never close. Anyway, just use y/n when it asks you if you want to pick something up, it will take care of the rest for you. So, tell me what you think

 

[Zyrk]

.txt for unique items

 

[Zyrk]

And the .txt for set items...

 

[gormna]

so ya how do we do this?
i'm no programmer. hah..

 

[Zyrk]

sorry, nevermind. Here's the whole kitnkaboodle. Just make sure all three files are extracted to the same folder. And no, this isn't a trojan to hack your account. If you don't believe me, have a friend that knows how to program check the source code and compile it for you. Well, here it is, PLEASE download it people and tell me what needs added!

 

[Zyrk]

YAY somebody downloaded. any feedback, whoever you are?

 

[Arkhon]

Just downloaded and used it, looks quite cool. Am yet to actually try it with Pindle
Answered Yes to nearly everything
Nice Work

 

[Zyrk]

thanks! Are there any items you think need added? I wasn't sure what to put in there, so if there's any additions I'll gladly stick them in there as well.

 

[Zyrk]

come on, I know seven people dl'ed it, any other feedback?

 

[gormna]

not bad.

 

[wongfeihungd0c]

super helpful, one question

do u replace it with old pickit?
-or-
do u take text and put it into the old pickit?

 

[|{iller]

Two Questions...

Why is ÿc9 and ÿc0 in there?
AND
Whats does ÿc9 and ÿc0 do?


Description=ÿc9Veil of Steel (Spired Helm) ÿc0Dropped

 

[Moriarty]

Colors

 

[Zyrk]

ur supposed to replace the old pickit. I should have changed the colors for set, I'll get on that right now. Any idea how to do green? Wait, I can find that in a different pickit.ini. CRAP! It needs to be ÿc4.....ÿc0 for uniques, and ÿc2.......ÿc0 for set items. Jeez, I screwed that up. And this will automatically overwrite a pickit.ini if it's in the same folder, so if you want to keep another one, put it somewhere else. But you can use this as a pickit file, you don't need to put it in the other one. Right now though, it shows everything as yellow, sry. ÿc9 is rare. Holy Crap, I forgot about runes! Jeez, that means another file to read from if I can't ever figure out how to easily get all the info from one file and still work right. I'll get on that right away

 

[Masrok]

Looks good, I hope u get it ready to go. Im ready to play test this thing

 

[Zyrk]

Yes, that's exactly what I need, play testers! Here's the newest version of it, it can pick up runes and it has the right colors for different items. I suppose I can do rares if anyone really wants me to, it will only take like five minutes. Okay, maybe like 20 minutes to get a really good selection, but ya. Well, anyway, here it is, please PLEASE test it and tell me, because I'm afraid I missed one of the necessary things at the top of the pickit file. Oh, and if anyone wants the newest source code, tell me and I'll post it.

 

[|{iller]

oh colors, how did ya get those colors, hex edit?

...Good things dont come easy esp. for programmers...

(me being one)

 

[Zyrk]

the colors weren't hard. I used ÿc# before what I wanted in color, and ÿc0 after whatever I wanted to be normal color. The # is actually a number 1-9, with each number representing a different color. For example, ÿc2Griswold's Valor ÿc0 and it would print, in game, Griswold's Valor in green text. This only works with pickit, though, you might have to hex edit some other stuff. I don't know much about hex editing, except that FFFFFF and 000000 are opposite.

 

[|{iller]

oh ok i get it, and the yc0 sets the color back to normal?

Knowledge is power... maybe too much power...
