I want to organize my display case

[masterZ]

So, how do you move items around shelves with a script?
I can see there's an put_display( int, item) and take_display( int,item) but no move functio

You'll have to make do with visit_url().

There is a really nice feature in mafia

Tools > Museums Display

it has a feature for this

Ok but I want to use this in my clean-up script, so what URL should I be visiting?

 

[Camber]

Visit the page from the mini-browser. That will have the url for you.

visit_url("managecollectionshelves.php")

After looking at managecollectionshelves.php I find myself at a loss on how to do this myself. Apparently the page uses javascript and... well, it's a bit beyond my html/java knowlege to assemble a functional visit_url().

I also have a script that puts items in the display case when I ascend and if they are the only one of their kind it might be nice if it would move them to the correct shelf. I see why masterZ wants to do this and I also would appreciate help now that I have the idea in my head.

Ok I tried to deduce some things using Mafia's built-in display case GUI. Turning debug on yielded the following results:

To transfer my Summer Nights onto my Shelf called Skills and Things Saving for Later:

My shelve names are currently numbered as follows:

<script>var shelves = {"0":"-none-","1":"Tiny Plastic Collection","2":"Mr. Klaw Stuffies","3":"Skills and Things Saving for Later","4":"Food, Booze, and Spleen","5":"Rockabye Bedtime","6":"Super Klaw Stuffies","7":"Eggs!","8":"Pool!"};</script>

Skills and Things Saving for Later is shelf 3. Summer Nights is Item #3244

The transfer URL was:

/managecollectionshelves.php?action=arrange&whichshelf3244=3

To transfer Zu Mannkäse Dienen in the same manner. Item #4409.:

/managecollectionshelves.php?action=arrange&whichshelf4409=3

I took a single urinal cake out of my DC. Item #1201:

/managecollection.php?action=take&whichitem1=1201&howmany1=1

To put the urinal cake into my DC:

/managecollection.php?action=put&whichitem1=1201&howmany1=1

Obviously there are CLI/ash commands to take and put from the DC already, but for thoroughness I included the URLs here.

It dawned me after doing this that transferring items between shelves don't require quantities, as all are moved to keep them together, which is why they aren't shown in the URLs. For any other people who might be having the same brain fart I did, I thought it worth mentioning

Great! With that information it becomes trivial to figure out the visit_url(). It will only take a little string manipulation to figure out the shelf number. (Or if it's a simple script only for my personal use I can just hardcode that.)

void display_it(int q, item i) {
	string name;
	if(q > 1)
		name = to_plural(i);
	else name = i.to_string();
	print("Display: "+q+ " "+ name+".", "blue");
	put_display(q, i);
}

foreach doodad, qty in get_inventory()
	switch(doodad) {
	case $item[Chester's Aquarius medallion]:
	case $item[Chester's bag of candy]:
	case $item[Chester's cutoffs]:

		display_it(qty, doodad);
		visit_url("managecollectionshelves.php?action=arrange&pwd&whichshelf" +to_int(doodad)+ "=2");
		break;
	case $item[baneful bandolier]:
	case $item[caustic slime nodule]:
	case $item[corroded breeches]:
	case $item[corrosive cowl]:
	case $item[diabolical crossbow]:
	case $item[grisly shield]:
	case $item[hardened slime belt]:
	case $item[hardened slime hat]:
	case $item[hardened slime pants]:
	case $item[malevolent medallion]:
	case $item[pernicious cudgel]:
	case $item[slime-covered club]:
	case $item[slime-covered compass]:

	case $item[slime-covered lantern]:
	case $item[slime-covered necklace]:
	case $item[slime-covered shovel]:

	case $item[villainous scythe]:
		display_it(qty, doodad);
		visit_url("managecollectionshelves.php?action=arrange&pwd&whichshelf" +to_int(doodad)+ "=3");
		break;
	}

That should work, though my final version will be a tiny bit more involved, saving the item names to be moved after batch_close(). Thanks, Spiny.
