[crossfire] Handling massive loot

[nicolas.weeger at laposte.net]

Hello.

Slightly old thread, but well.




The problem, as I see it, is that there is a need for scripting on the client in the first 
place...

CF is, for me at least, a RPG game, not a script-making game...


So let's figure WHY we need scripting, to fix that, instead of fixing the lack of 
documentation.


Proposal around that, unrelated to loot handling but well: there is the "knowledge 
attempt <code>" command, to have the player attempt a recipe when having 
ingredients in inventory and standing on the correct crafting tool (workbench and 
such)

I was thinking of extending to "knowledge attempt* <code>" to attempt as long as 
the player got ingredients in stock. This way, no need for scripting...

This would though first require the server architecture change I proposed at the start 
of the thread.

problem. Even experienced players have issues with Crossfire scripting. My concern 
is that scripting is under-documented. Scouring the Internet years ago I found that 
some people had developed some quite sophisticated Crossfire scripts but almost 
none of them had been distributed beyond being mentioned in blog posts and the 
like. Everyone is welcome to any scripts I've developed. None of them are 
particularly complex. A few more complex examples can be found at the link below.
