Feature - Implemented Fancy and Candy items

[slyz]

Among all the item attributes we record in tradeitems.txt, it looks like the two "secondary use" attributes users don't have access to is "fancy" and "candy".

Here is a patch that adds those two boolean fields to item proxy records:

> ash $item[ coconut shell ]

Returned: coconut shell
plural => coconut shells
descid => 330145487
image => coconut.gif
levelreq => 0
quality =>
adventures =>
muscle =>
mysticality =>
moxie =>
fullness => 0
inebriety => 0
spleen => 0
notes =>
combat => false
reusable => false
usable => false
multi => false
fancy => true
candy => false
bounty => none
bounty_count => 0
seller => none
buyer => none

The patch also adds two ASH function:

boolean is_fancy( item )
boolean is_candy( item )

I didn't commit straight away because I'm not sure we want to use both methods: should I stick to proxy record, or ASH functions?

I'd say just proxy record fields.

Proxy record fields it is then. r10122.

Here is a little ASH script that gives you price info on candies:

item [ int ] candies;

foreach it in $items[]
{
	if ( it.candy )
	{
		candies[ candies.count() ] = it;
	}
}

print( "Considering " + candies.count() + " candies..." );

int get_price( item it )
{
	if ( !it.is_tradeable() ) return it.autosell_price();
	if ( it.autosell_price() == 0 ) return it.mall_price();
	if ( it.mall_price() > max( 2 * it.autosell_price(), 100 ) ) return it.mall_price();
	return it.autosell_price();
}

sort candies by value.get_price();

for i from 1 to 30 print( candies[ i ] + " - value: " + candies[ i ].get_price()+ " meat ( autosell: " + candies[ i ].autosell_price() + " - mall: " + candies[ i ].mall_price() + " )" );

On the topic of candy, would it be possible to have the Modifier Maximizer also maximize candy drops?

 

[Theraze]

It's counted "candy drops" as a valid maximization field when I tried it this week... Can't just maximize candy, but candy drops works.

 

[werefrog]

That's not in the dropdown menu, though. how do we get it added?

 

[Theraze]

Type it in? Beeosity isn't in the list either, but it's a valid keyword, and one I heavily suggest using if you ever go back into a beecore run.

Eh, I just wanted to feed my mimic optimally, it looks like this is going to be a lot more helpful than I expected.
