New Content - Implemented Bounty Hunter Change

Sounds a lot easier to get than the two bookshelf skills I'm missing! (Well, unless I just donated real money)
 
Oh, now I may actually bother to get the BHH familiar then... (I can never remember to do the bounties when I'm in aftercore...)
 
I have a feeling the revamp won't be relevant for people that already have everything there. Being able to get multiple lucre in a day and splitting Olfaction into two separate skills for 100 lucre each are both ideas I've seen seriously discussed.
 
If they give everybody who has Olfaction those two skills and retire Olfaction, I suppose that will work.
If they just add two new skills and keep Olfaction, I can just see the spittle spattering as Skill Completionists go into a rage.
 
Olfaction would go away (or keep the name and become weaker, maybe), it being too powerful is part of why things would change.

I really hope so. I dread Jick adding a tome of banishment which would force me to get more lucre. After doing 300 days I have never wanted to do it again outside of Bad Moon.
 
I occasionally think to see if a bounty is relevant to something I want to do anyway and, if so, I accept it - and occasionally take some extra turns while accomplishing my intended task to end up with an extra lucre. After doing that for however many years have passed since I got all the current lucre items, I have 330 lucre in my display case.

I am probably OK, no matter what Jick decides to do, but, as I mentioned, I expect screams of rage from others who have not done that, should new items - especially new skill tomes - be released.
 
Bounty Hunter changes

A few changes. First, it's moved from bhh.php to bounty.php as its new location. Additionally, the available bounties have changed wildly, and the location names aren't necessarily the same as the zone name anymore. For me today, it's offering:
Today's Easy Bounty:
8 crumpled pink slips from unemployed Knob Goblins in the Typical Tavern




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's Hard Bounty:
13 spare abacus beads from pygmy witch accountants in the Hidden City




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's Specialty Bounty:
8 glittery skate keys from roller-skating Muses in the Stately Pleasure Dome
(You can reach this area by using a tiny bottle of absinthe.)

You can pursue all three bounties in a day. The items collected are no longer "real" items, and appear in the combat text like this:
You acquire a bounty item: crumpled pink slip
(2 of 8 found)

HTML is <td align=center>You acquire a bounty item: <b>glittery skate key</b></td></tr></table>(1 of 8 found)

When you return to the hunter you get :

You're on the trail of a Specialty Bounty! Come back when you've collected 8 glittery skate keys from roller-skating Muses in the Stately Pleasure Dome
(You have collected 1 out of 8 so far.)

This could be interesting to support. We can scrape the plural name, monster plural and number required from the bounty page, as well as current progress for each. We can get the single names, monster, progress and number required from the "you acquire a bounty item" page. Over time we could build up a list of plurals and singles for monsters and bounty items, assuming they aren't all simple plurals like they are today.

I guess we just track that information and add a bounty link when completed in relay browser or pick up automatically if automating?

Message when returning with a bounty gives :

Am going to take a look at this. Currently planning to create a new datafile/database for it which includes the type, items (which aren't real items), their plurals, their image, the numbers required and the monsters they drop from. We can then build it over time.
 
r13527. Initial support of new Bounty Hunter. Adds preferences currentEasyBountyItem, currentHardBountyItem and currentSpecialBountyItem, which contain the currently hunted item and the number found so far. Adds bounty.txt to contain bounty information, which will need to be updated as new bounties are found.

Things still needed : Updates to AdventureDatabase where there is a lot of code. Link back to Bounty hunter when all of a bounty is collected. Rewrite code for Bounty Hunter Hunter menu.

I won't be able to do any more today, so if others want to work on it, feel free.
