SRL Archive - Senior Scripts and Snippets

Have you ever wanted to know all the monsters between 30-60 cmb that always drop bones and are weak against magic? I do. So I wrote a script (attached below) to dump most of the data in the RuneHQ database into an INI (also attached below, take off the '.scar'). Now you can search it to find the best place to train. Have fun.


Edit:
Example of searching

program New;
var tmpstr:string;
count,time:integer;
begin
  time:=getsystemtime;
  for count:=0 to 586 do
  begin
    tmpstr:=ReadINI(inttostr(count),'100% Drop',AppPath+'\MonsterDB.ini');
    if pos('bones',lowercase(tmpstr))>0 then
    begin
      tmpstr:=ReadINI(inttostr(count),'Combat Level',AppPath+'\MonsterDB.ini');
      if strtoint(tmpstr)<70 then
      begin
        if strtoint(tmpstr)>20 then
        begin
          tmpstr:=ReadINI(inttostr(count),'Weakness',AppPath+'\MonsterDB.ini');
          if pos('mag',lowercase(tmpstr))>0 then
          begin
            writeln(inttostr(count)+' '+ReadINI(inttostr(count),'ID',AppPath+'\MonsterDB.ini'));
          end;
        end;
      end;
    end;
  end;
  writeln(inttostr(getsystemtime-time));
end.

Took 2094 ms.

Hmm. Looks interesting. Although why did you have it drop into a .ini?

Isn't it just a configuration file type?

Yea, could be whatever you want, I'm just used to INI.

Oh, I thought you may have had a reader for it or something that made it a bit more formatted.
It's still sweet though.

Looks nice. Thanks Boreas!

The formatting is just SCARs ReadINI/WriteINI.

BTW, add this line

OpenWebPage('http://runehq.com/database.php?type=monster&id='+ReadINI(inttostr(count),'ID',AppPath+'\MonsterDB.ini'));

after the last If in the searcher. Just make sure you don't have like 100 results, or firefox will go crazy :p

Edit: Thanks Method.

I wrote a program a couple of years ago that dumped the runehq monsterdatabase to an ini file, but it seems yours has a few html tags left in there =/

Still got it somewhere? Yea I put the html removing loop in the weakness section, but forgot to put it everywhere else. Doesn't really matter though as pos>0 works anyway.

It was several years ago, so I dunno if it's still compatible anymore at all, it's in VB, I'll try to find it, but I can't promise anything… If I still have it it's burried somewhere in my backups

EDIT: Found it http://freddy1990.com/files2/MonsterGen.rar
Note that the code is a mess, seeing it's over 2 years old from back when I still used VB, lol, dunno if'd still work though… I wrote it for a new version of my Fredd-e-scape client which I never finished…

What was Fredd-e-scape going to be?

It was Fredd-e-scape Revolution or something like that, the follower of Fredd-e-scape Reloaded which was the follower of Fredd-e-scape which was one of the things that are at the base of my reputation… Fredd-e-scape was a VB-based RS webclient: http://freddy1990.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fredd-e-scape Haven't gotten around to writing the wiki page though, but the logo and screenshot are in there… The screenshot explains it better than I could :)
