Pattern Recognition Script

[X-Drop]

Yeah, I realize alot of you guys already know how to extract a pattern from a string. But since its not posted here, let me go ahead put this out for anyone wanting to see what Lua can do.

I think this is pretty powerful stuff! I am able to filter through chat lines and pull out very useful information that doesn't neccessarily have a unique FFXI.chat_GetLineType code.

Here is the barebones script. You can add your own block,

--PatternCheck.lua     12/3/2005     Xdrop

Chat={}
LineNumber={}
PatternCheck={}

for i=1,5,1 do                                                      --checks last 5 chat lines
LineNumber[i]=FFXI.chat_GetNewestLineNumber()-(i-1)
Chat[i]=FFXI.chat_GetLine(LineNumber[i])

PatternCheck[i]=string.find(Chat[i],"x")                --replace x with pattern to search for

if PatternCheck[i]~=nil then
--==============================================================================add block here
end

end

Whenever I try to use anything like this I get a microsoft send/don't send critical error about lunar.dll (abruptly closes FFXI)- ... not sure if its the plugin or my code that is screwing it up, but I pretty much used Leviathan as a base (which you have pretty much moved into here)

Leviathan gives me the same critical error sometimes. Sometimes right after I catch a fish, other times when it's asking me questions, so I'm pretty sure its the chat line recognizer.

This is definetely a known issue with the current version of Lunar. For me, I get the critical error on occassion. It just happens randomly. I used the same method in Leviathan and usually it works fine, but then once in a while out of nowhere.... *crash*!
