Nomad Moogle - Version 1.2

Another quick update to the program. I forgot to mention version 1.1 here, so I'll go ahead and mention what it does in addition to version 1.2.

version 1.1
I went back and edited the commands to make them channel only (you can only use them in channels). I also changed the way !character lookup works, slightly.

The new command for it is:

!character lookup (character name) [(info, jobs, crafts, all)]

If you don't use any of the parameters after the character's name, it will display all the information about that character (info, jobs and crafts). Else you can specify what you want to know. There's also !character info and !check character that work exactly the same way.


version 1.2
You can now link multiple nicks to one character. This is handy if you use multiple nicks on IRC (like a few of my LS mates) and would like to be able to update your character with any of them.

The new command for it is:

!link (check, add, remove) (char name) [(nick to add/remove)]

!link check (character) will display all the nicks that are currently linked to that character.

[01:30] Iyouboushi> !link check Iyouboushi
[01:30] Moogle> [Names linked to Iyouboushi: Iyouboushi, Kiisuke]

You can add as many nicks as you want (or at least as many as mIRC will still process) but you must have at least 1 linked to the character. Oh and I also made sure Goldsmithing was showing up on the list (previously it wasn't).


The only thing that I really have left for a future version is a search command. Well, and maybe adding in some of the other skills (combat, magic, etc). Otherwise, I think I'm finished with it. :)

Nomad Moogle - Version 1.0

A few days ago I had an idea for a new bot: an FFXI character tracker. Kinthoras of Esper.net and I talked it over and he decided to create one in Java. I decided to create my own, based on his Java bot, in mIRC's internal scripting language. I have just finished my first version and it does everything his does except searching (and that may be forthcoming in a future version).

Current commands:

!help
Displays this list in a private message

!stoneskin [enhancing/BLU skill level] [MND]
A Stoneskin/Metallic Body calculator that shows how much it will absorb

!create character [name]
Creates a character

!delete character [name]
Deletes a character you have created (cannot erase other people's characters**note they are GONE after you use this command. There is no retrieval)

!update job [character name] [job] [level]
Updates a character's job

!update craft [character name] [craft] [level]
Updates a character's craft

!update race [character name] [race]
Set a character's race

!update gender [character name] [male/female]
Set a character's gender

!update nation [character name] [nation]
Set a character's home nation

!update rank [character name] [rank]
Set a character's rank

!character lookup [name]
Display's a character's info



Where do you download this beauty you crazy FFXI/mIRC addicts? You can download it by clicking here. The loading information is inside the file itself as well as a command list. If you are unfamiliar with loading mIRC scripts, it's best to create a seperate folder (C:\moogle\ or C:\ffxi\ will work) with a copy of mIRC in the folder (version 6.16 or greater should work just fine). Once you do that, unzip the .mrc file in that folder, load mIRC and type /load -rs ffxi.mrc and it should load just fine. Now sign into your server, join the channel and (with a seperate client) try some of the commands.

This tracker is really only useful if you run an FFXI-based channel and want to have a little tool to help out with keeping track of characters. Hopefully it will continue to grow and include more and more functionality.


Here's a sample of what the bot may do. This is after I have input all of my information:

Iyouboushi> !character lookup Iyouboushi
Moogle> [Name: Iyouboushi] [Server: Quetzalcoatl] [Race: hume] [Gender: male] [Nation: Bastok] [Rank: 3-3]
Moogle> [Jobs: WAR: 32 | MNK: 11 | WHM: 8 | BLM: 8 | RDM: 17 | THF: 15 | PLD: 20 | DRK: 1 | RNG: 9 | NIN: 23 | DRG: 1 | BLU: 32 | COR: 18]
Moogle> [Crafts: Fishing: 2 | Alchemy: 0.8 | Bonecraft: 0.0 | Clothcraft: 4.2 | Cooking: 35.5 | Leathercraft: 0.0 | Smithing: 2 | Woodworking: 13.5]


My version is currently running on irc.esper.net in #Vanadiel. Please note that Esper has a pretty strict bot policy. If you choose to run your version on Esper, connect it to bots.esper.net or risk being banned. Also, if you do choose to run your own please don't run it in #Vanadiel as that will just be confusing.

If you have any suggestions or improvement ideas, please post them in a comment here.

More to come...
