New Content - Implemented Low-Key path

Veracity · May 15, 2020

Apparently, lots more locks/keys at tower door.
Keys are quest item accessories.
You lose them when you unlock a lock.

(Can you go get another one to use in aftercore? Or, if you do, do they disappear like Plumber quest items when you free the king?)

Here is a spreadsheet where lock/key info is being collected.

Revision 20099 adds the 17 keys which were there when I last looked. There will be 6 more.

I think the built-in tower door script will need an update.
Some sort of key collection tracking.
Perhaps a command to tell you what you have, what you need, where to find them - sort of like "latter unlocks".

Until I see whether there is a liited path reward, I'm not going to be diving right into this, I think.

Veracity · May 15, 2020

Huh. Revision 20101 has Manual of Lock Picking and Lock Picking Skill.

I guess that using the latter will redirect to a choice adventure to let you pick a lock to pick.
Is it only usable if the Tower Door is accessible?
The skill says "usable once per Life".
Is it upgrade if you learn the skill multiple times (i.e. have a skillLevel, like 12 other skills)?
Does it auto-perm?

We'll find those things out soon enough.

This looks amusing enough that I'll probably try it out tomorrow. Since their's a whole path focused on the Tower Door, perhaps we should create a TowerDoorManager out of what is currently part of SorceressLairManager. I think I'll do that and then we'll have a lot of subsequent work in that class.

Veracity · May 15, 2020

Revision 20102 does that: TowerDoorManager has all of our current support for the Tower Door.

Veracity · May 16, 2020

Revision 20103 adds the remaining six keys. TowerDoorManager now has all the data from the spreadsheet.
I'll look at the door later today after I ascend to get the actions needed to activate the 23 new keys.

Veracity · May 16, 2020

I saved the form for the Tower Door in Low-Key. Every lock - the 6 old ones, the 23 new ones, and the doorknob has a different action than on the normal Tower Door. It's a different "place", as well.

Revision 20105 saves all the scraped info in data structures and comments.
I'm clearly going to have to refactor how things work. I'm glad I moved the Tower Door stuff into a new package.

FYI, here is the page HTML (formatted slightly). I love how the divs are sorted numerically: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Veracity · May 16, 2020

Revision 20106 adds the "tower" or "lowkey" command which will print a table describing each lock on the Tower Door (6 for a normal run, 29 for a Low Key run). It will tell you if you have the needed key and/or have already used the needed key. For Low Key locks, it will tell you where to find the key and what the enchantments (as an accessory) each key has.

Note that we do not yet record when you have used a key in the Low Key path; the PlaceRequest for the tower door in that path is not yet supported.

Veracity · May 16, 2020

Revision 20107 mostly (should) support the Low-Key tower door.

I need the text you get when you use the 6 regular keys, the 23 special keys, and the doorknob in Low-Key.

For comparison, here is what we have when inserting keys in the regular tower door:

Code:

		// Boris's Lock: You place Boris's key in the lock and turn
		// it. You hear a jolly bellowing in the distance as the lock
		// vanishes, along with the metal plate it was attached
		// to. Huh.

		// Jarlsberg's Lock: You put Jarlsberg's key in the lock and
		// turn it. You hear a nasal, sort of annoying laugh in the
		// distance as the lock vanishes in a puff of
		// rotten-egg-smelling smoke.

		// Sneaky Pete's Lock: You put the key in the lock and hear the
		// roar of a motorcycle behind you. By the time you turn around
		// to check out the cool motorcycle guy he's gone, but when you
		// turn back to the lock it is <i>also</i> gone.

		// Star Lock: You put the key in and turn it. There is a flash
		// of brilliant starlight accompanied by a competent but not
		// exceptional drum solo, and when both have faded, the lock is
		// gone.

		// Skeleton Lock: You put the skeleton key in the lock and turn
		// it. The key, the lock, and the metal plate the lock is
		// attached to all crumble to dust. And rust, in the case of
		// the metal.

		// Digital Lock: You put the digital key in the lock and turn
		// it. A familiar sequence of eight tones plays as the lock
		// disappears.

		// You turn the knob and the door vanishes. I guess it was made out of the same material as those weird lock plates.

I would not be surprised if Low-Key has the same messages - but I would also not be surprised if it had different messages, since the "action" is different.

I'll collect all the messages myself by doing the door in the Relay Browser, by and by, in a few days.

lostcalpolydude · May 18, 2020

I'm thinking it would be nice to have a way to easily identify which keys haven't been picked up yet (the information is in the table, but it requires more careful reading). Sorting to top/bottom, a parameter that excludes obtained keys, I'm not sure what would make most sense.

This please. I found myself wishing for just this feature this morning.

Veracity · May 18, 2020

Revision 20111 adds "tower needed" which will not list keys that you either have or have already used to open a lock.
It also fixes the HTML "action" fields for each lock so that it properly detects when you've used a key.
That means you should look at the Tower Door again in order to properly set the "nsTowerDoorKeysUsed" property.

Lock Picking skill redirects to choice 1414

Encounter: Lock Picking
choice 1: Pick Boris's Lock
choice 2: Pick Jarlsberg's Lock
choice 3: Sneaky Pete's Lock

You cannot walk away from this!

I tried this after I had cleared all the locks on the tower door.

Results:

Code:

A strong pick.

You acquire an item: Boris's key

Looks like this skill will save me 5 turns per run, as long as it is in style...

Veracity · May 19, 2020

Revision 20117 teaches the Tower Door script how to use Lock Picking.
Untested. I just ascended again into Low-Key and will try the script in a few days.
If it works, support for this path might be finished.

ckb · May 20, 2020

I have all the keys. Using tower_door() I get this:

Tower Door: Boris's Lock
Tower Door: Jarlsberg's Lock
Tower Door: Sneaky Pete's Lock
Tower Door: Star Lock
Tower Door: Digital Lock
Tower Door: Skeleton Lock
Tower Door: Polka Dotted Lock
Failed to open lock using clown car key

The LKS keys need to be added to tower_door() for this path.

Veracity · May 20, 2020

ckb said:
IFailed to open lock using clown car key

The LKS keys need to be added to tower_door() for this path.

That message tells you that it attempted to open the door with the clown car key but it failed for some reason.
Perhaps the attempt actually failed because of an incorrect URL.
Perhaps we failed to recognize that the attempt succeeded.

If you can get me a DEBUG log, I will look at it.
Otherwise, I will try it myself tomorrow.

Tower Door: Polka Dotted Lock

This also tells me that you were using a revision prior to 20117, since that revision would have said:

Failed to open Polka Dotted Lock using clown car key

What version were you using? I expect 20113 or later to work, anything prior to not work.

I was using r20116. I will update.

Also, I used the clown car key manually, then tried again, but the next key (bat key I think?) failed with a similar message, as did the one after that.

Sorry, no debug log or URLs to copy as I just did all the keys manually in the relay browser then continued. I will try to get that in my next run if still needed.

Veracity · May 20, 2020

OK. I will adjust the script to try only the first low-key lock (for debugging) and will try the script and get my own debug log.
I was hoping to just run the script tomorrow and have it work, but obviously it's not ready.

Veracity · May 20, 2020

We need to submit the request using GET.
Using 20118, the script successfully opened the Polla Dotted Lock.

Veracity · May 21, 2020

I am not ready to go through the door, since I have unfulfilled quests, but I had all the keys - or ingredients. I only had two fat loot tokens, but I have Lock Picking.
The Tower Door Script used Lock Picking, constructed the 2 other legend keys, the digital key, the star key, and the skeleton key, and unlocked every low key lock.

Quest Hint says "Get through the door at the base of the Naughty Sorceress' Tower."
So, I expect it failed to go through the door, because of unfinished quests, but the door is empty of locks.
The L13 quest is still at "step5", so I expect I have to run the script to advenace it to "step6" by opening the doorknob.

I'll try that later. Until then, the tower door script is looking good.

Magus_Prime · May 21, 2020

I just tried the tower door script and it opened all locks and the door.
