Need a new preference for the new Level 9 Quest: questL09Topping

started
  • Council Text:
    HTML: 
    <p>Sorry to trouble you with this, Adventurer, but we've gotten a... shall we say... cryptic message from Black Angus -- he's one of Loathing's minor nobles.
<p>
It's usually safe to ignore him, but he sounded pretty agitated, and given the current political climate we can scarcely afford to ignore him.
<p>
Could you do us a favor and go to his tower, in the Highlands?  The Highlands are just on the other side of the Orc Chasm.  We'll mark it on your map.
<p>
  • Quest Log
    HTML: 
    <b>There Can Be Only One Topping</b><br>The Council has gotten word that there's something bothering Black Angus, the Highland Lord.
<p>
You should seek him out, in the Highlands beyond the Orc Chasm, in the Big Mountains.<p>

step1
  • Finish building the bridge:
    HTML:

You have:<br>   <b>2 "appropriate" pieces of lumber</b><br>   <b>1 "appropriate" fasteners</b><p><p>You use some more of those horrible building materials to continue constructing a bridge.<p>Huzzah!  The bridge is finished!<P>And having finished the bridge, you throw away the rest of the smut orcs' terrible building materials.  Good riddance.</td></tr></table></center></td></tr><tr><td height=4></td></tr></table><table  width=95%  cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td style="color: white;" align=center bgcolor=blue><b>The Orc Chasm</b>
  • Quest Log:
    HTML: 
    <p><b>There Can Be Only One Topping</b><br>You've built a bridge over the Orc Chasm, and now you should go talk to Black Angus, the Highland Lord.
<p>
He's in a tower in the Highlands.  It's in the Big Mountains, past the Orc Chasm.<p>

step2
  • Visit Lord's Tower:

Like, I'm the guy who owns all of these peaks, but I don't know, man, it's just, like, a major hassle, you know? I mean, some of my tenants are ghosts, and some are all, like, freaky murderous twins, and then there are those oil guys, and what's that all about, man? It totally harshes my mellow, you know? 
<p>
What were we talking about? Oh, yeah, the peaks. I'm trying to, like, order a pizza, 'cause a pizza would be totally sweet right now, but my jerkwad fascist tenants totally won't let me light the signal fires. I mean, half of them haven't even paid rent this month. It's, like, a bummer, man. Anyway, if you can help, I'd appreciate it, bro.</td></tr></table></center></td></tr><tr><td height=4></td></tr></table><table  width=95%  cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td style="color: white;" align=center bgcolor=blue><b>The Highlands</b></td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5px; border: 1px solid blue;"><center><table><tr><td><center><div id=background style='position:relative;'><img src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/orcchasm/highlands_main.gif" width=500 height=250 border=0><div id=highlands_dude style='position: absolute; top: 8; left: 371; height: 150; width: 90;'><a href=place.php?whichplace=highlands&action=highlands_dude><img src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/1x1trans.gif" width=90 height=150 border=0 alt="" title=""></a></div><div id=peak1 style='position: absolute; top: 94; left: 35; height: 130; width: 100;'><a href=adventure.php?snarfblat=296><img src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/1x1trans.gif" width=100 height=130 border=0 alt="A-boo Peak (1)" title="A-boo Peak (1)"></a></div><div id=peak2 style='position: absolute; top: 86; left: 147; height: 130; width: 100;'><a href=adventure.php?snarfblat=297><img src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/1x1trans.gif" width=100 height=130 border=0 alt="Twin Peak (1)" title="Twin Peak (1)"></a></div><div id=peak3 style='position: absolute; top: 75; left: 255; height: 140; width: 100;'><a href=adventure.php?snarfblat=298><img src="http://images.kingdomofloathing.com/otherimages/1x1trans.gif" width=100 height=140 border=0 alt="Oil Peak (1)" title="Oil Peak (1)"></a></div></div><p><a href=place.php?whichplace=orc_chasm>Back to the Orc Chasm</a></center>
  • Quest Log:
    HTML: 
    <p><b>There Can Be Only One Topping</b><br>The Highland Lord wants you to light his three signal fires in the Highlands.<p>You should check out A-Boo Peak and see what's going on there.<p>You need to solve the mystery of Twin Peak and figure out how to light the signal fire.<p>You should go to Oil Peak and investigate the signal fire there.<p>
  • Problem! Quest Log actually updates based on progress! Completely unlike any other zone! For example:
    HTML: 
    p><b>There Can Be Only One Topping</b><br>The Highland Lord wants you to light his three signal fires in the Highlands.<p>You should keep clearing the ghosts out of A-Boo Peak so you can reach the signal fire.   It is currently 98% haunted.<p>You need to solve the mystery of Twin Peak and figure out how to light the signal fire.<p>You should keep killing oil monsters until the pressure on the peak drops enough for you to reach the signal fire.    The pressure is currently 310.66 microbowies per Mercury.<p></blockquote><p>
    With a little more work, it tells you which areas have lit fires:
    HTML: 
    <b>There Can Be Only One Topping</b><br>The Highland Lord wants you to light his three signal fires in the Highlands.<p>You've lit the fire on A-Boo Peak.<p>You need to solve the mystery of Twin Peak and figure out how to light the signal fire.<p>You should keep killing oil monsters until the pressure on the peak drops enough for you to reach the signal fire.    The pressure is very low at this point.<p></blockquote><p>

step3
  • Quest Log:
    There Can Be Only One Topping
    You've lit all the signal fires! Go see Black Angus, the Highland Lord, in his tower in the Highlands.

<p>
Hey, you've got a back, right? I mean, like, most people do. As thanks for helping me out, you can have this. I'm usually too busy staring at my hands to put stuff on my back, anyway.<p>Oh, you know who else likes pizza? The Baron in Rof'Lm'Fao.

Is questL09Lol defunct, or does it still serve some purpose?

I'll ponder on how to handle the individual mini-quests. In the macguffin quest they get their own preferences, might need to do that here too.

The old quest is completely optional. Same rewards as before. The only importance the area has for runs is the lowercase n.

I'm aware, but what does it show up in the quest log as? Miscellaneous? And should it now be questM15Lol?

When I was changing the code for finishing the bridge, I made that set questL09Lol, when it should instead set whatever new setting is added.

(and possibly a meat vortex; and the +1 clover/day, but that's only important on longer runs; and maybe a lucre if you still collect and the other options are worse because too weak or too strong)

You are going to have to make some changes to allow it to work. For instance, it is now started by the same text that completes questL09Topping. Also, there is no longer a step1. It goes straight from started to finished.

It might be odd to leave it as questL09Lol, but that might be simplest since the preference already exists and it is kinda like part 2 of the quest. However if you want to turn it into questM15Lol I can adapt.

Regarding quest tracking, could we also get a (resets on Ascension) preference for bridgeCompletion or something similar that scrapes when you hit place.php?whichplace=orc_chasm, so we don't need to server-hit every time we're checking for how much we need? With a dictionary, I'd like to hit the server only once to place it, and then if mafia can save all the server hits that follow until the last place.php?whichplace=orc_chasm&action=bridgeX, that would be awesome.

If it's not clear, here's the HTML for visiting the bridge:
PHP: 
<html><head>
<script language=Javascript>
<!--
if (parent.frames.length == -1) location.href="game.php";

if (typeof defaultBind != 'undefined') { defaultBind(47, 2, chatFocus); defaultBind(190, 2, chatFocus);defaultBind(191, 2, chatFocus); defaultBind(47, 8, chatFocus);defaultBind(190, 8, chatFocus); defaultBind(191, 8, chatFocus); }</script><script language=Javascript src="/images/scripts/jquery-1.3.1.min.js"></script>

Basically, there's a div id=bridgeX that begins at 0, one digit. 30 is fully completed.

It's actually 0 through 29, and then "_done". Mafia is already parsing that to provide a usable link for adding parts to the bridge when bridge parts drop (if it's at bridge8, you must visit action=bridge8 to add parts, which doesn't really make much sense), and it wouldn't hurt to expose that value.

Would be nice. I could then remove my silly regex in BCAscend that exists solely to parse that value out of said page :)

r11663 gets some of this.

We're missing some council text, like what happens when you randomly check in at various points in the quest, and completion text (if any).

Huh, this may be a totally different bug. It looks like the regex we use handles newlines just fine - but if I'm correct, only one quest status per council visit can be set. Oops.

I think it is working now, but it was tested under very different circumstances.

What is not working is questM15Lol

Unfortunately mafia did not pick up the Baron's message as the key that the quest had to be started so I needed to refresh the quest log.

That's fine, the "you still need to do x" message should be just as good as the first one, we detect both. If council detection or multi-detection is broken, let's start a new thread for that, since it's a separate deal.

r11673 adds questM15Lol handling.
