New Content - Implemented Support multi-casting of Calculate the Universe / changing Manual of Numberology cost

[Pineapple of Despair]

With the reappearance of the Manual of Numberology at the Swagger Shop today it has become possible to cast Calculate the Universe more than once per day, with the limit being apparently the number of times you have read the Manual. It would be good to extend Mafia to support this. Unfortunately at least for now the skill description keeps saying "usable once per day" even when it can be cast more often than that.

On a related note, the cost of the Manual of Numberology at the Swagger Shop changes similarly to e.g. that of the ROM of Optimality - the second time you get it it costs you 2,000 swagger.

Setting "manualOfNumberologyCost" tracks that correctly, near as I can tell.

 

[heeheehee]

That might not be a correct solution, since manual of numberology is tradeable, IIRC.

 

[Veracity]

We read the price from the Swagger Shop when you visit and update the setting. That's the only time we set it. What would be "not correct" about that?

 

[heeheehee]

If you purchase and use a copy of the manual from the mall, and KoL doesn't adjust the price from the swagger shop, then Mafia might think that you have fewer casts available than you actually do.

There are two separate things brought up in this thread, and despite what Pineapple of Despair says, they aren't really related (at least as far as mafia's support goes). One is the swagger cost of buying a manual. The other is the number of Calculate the Universe casts allowed in a day. The first is handled fine, the second has no handling so far.

 

[heeheehee]

Oh, I see. Yeah, Lost is spot on. I was talking about the potential mismatch between casts per day and cost in swagger shop, while Veracity was just talking about cost in swagger shop.

Need to catch the text from using the second one, so we know it was used successfully. I missed it, unfortunately.

17039 tracks this in skillLevel144. That setting won't automatically update for people that already used a second Manual of Numberology (set skillLevel144 = 2), but anyone that updates, then casts the skill, then uses a second manual will have things tracked properly.

Have bug reported the fact that it still (at least after casting) says it is castable once per day, when it is no longer. If that gets changed then maybe we can update from that when the skill page or description is visited.
