Feature: Possibility to specify run order

[Kongolan]

Currently runs can't be ordered, while this can be useful, if chickens occur more likely in some areas then i want to play the safe runs first and later go to the risky ones, so i ensure it doesn't skip early.

This is limited because in Config.js the scripts are in a set order and the char config only sets the values if it should be run or not, so order there doesn't matter.

It would be really helpful if the loader could somehow check, what scripts to run first just by the order in my char file.

Not sure what you mean but you can change order of scripts in Character Config file.

I have cows / chaos at the end because for some reason my sorcs like to chicken at cows and chaos a alot, if i had it is some of my runs would be like 3 mins short.

Can you post your Charfile please, for me it's not working somehow... For Example i want ChestMania with Lower Kurast chests first before every run.

I'm not sure about ChestMania it should work as well though I would think

I found this issue when I started - the problem is the scripts do not execute in order written in the config. You can re-order boss scripts but you cant override the order of other scripts (like chestmania). they are hard coded to run before/after other scripts.

A good example is clearanyarea: the bot will run act 1-5 then go back to catacombs to clear.. which is a waste as the bot was in the area before!

I realise I would have to hard code the scripts to execute what I want or add some logic to do some checks, but that's a lot of work, especially for chestmania (e.g. compare chestmania areas with bot areas and execute in order. even then it wouldn't be seamless unless you edited furter to make the bot do chestmania whilst in the area, instead of tele to town, do chores, then wp-->tele to chestmania area...)

[krazy03]

I just test it, it works no problem

        // *** sorc ***
    Scripts.ChestMania = true; // Open chests in configured areas. See sdk/areas.txt
        Config.ChestMania.Act3 = [79]; // List of act 3 areas to open chests in
    Scripts.Eldritch = true;
        Config.Eldritch.OpenChest = true;
        Config.Eldritch.KillShenk = true;
        Config.Eldritch.KillDacFarren = false;
        Scripts.Countess = true;
        Config.Countess.KillGhosts = false;
    Scripts.Andariel = true                     
        Scripts.Pit = true;
        Config.Pit.ClearPit1 = true
        Scripts.AncientTunnels = true;
        Config.AncientTunnels.OpenChest = false; // Open special chest in Lost City
        Config.AncientTunnels.KillDarkElder = false;
    Scripts.Summoner = true;
        Config.Summoner.FireEye = false;
    Scripts.Travincal = true;
        Config.Travincal.PortalLeech = false; // Set to true to open a portal for leechers.
    Scripts.Mephisto = true;
        Config.Mephisto.MoatTrick = false;
        Config.Mephisto.KillCouncil = true;
        Config.Mephisto.TakeRedPortal = true;
    Scripts.Nihlathak = true;
        Config.Nihlathak.ViperQuit = false; // End script if Tomb Vipers are found.
    Scripts.Cows = true;
    Scripts.Diablo = true;
        Config.Diablo.Entrance = false; // Start from entrance
        Config.Diablo.SealWarning = "Leave the seals alone!";
        Config.Diablo.EntranceTP = "Entrance TP up";
        Config.Diablo.StarTP = "Star TP up";
        Config.Diablo.DiabloMsg = "Diablo";
    Scripts.Baal = true;
        Config.Baal.HotTPMessage = "";
        Config.Baal.SafeTPMessage = "";
        Config.Baal.BaalMessage = "";
        Config.Baal.SoulQuit = false; // End script if Souls (Undead Soul Killers) are found.
        Config.Baal.DollQuit = false; // End script if Dolls (Undead Stigyan Dolls) are found.
        Config.Baal.KillBaal = true; // Kill Baal. Leaves game after wave 5 if false.

There you go, just tested it and it works. Make sure TO NOT HAVE ANY DUPLICATES!!!!! Meaning the original Lines

    Scripts.ChestMania = false; // Open chests in configured areas. See sdk/areas.txt
        Config.ChestMania.Act1 = [13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19]; // List of act 1 areas to open chests in
        Config.ChestMania.Act2 = [55, 59, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72]; // List of act 2 areas to open chests in
        Config.ChestMania.Act3 = [79, 80, 81, 92, 93, 84, 85, 90]; // List of act 3 areas to open chests in
        Config.ChestMania.Act4 = []; // List of act 4 areas to open chests in
        Config.ChestMania.Act5 = [115, 116, 119, 125, 126, 127]; // List of act 5 areas to open chests in

Remove them otherwise IT WILL NOT do ChestMania first, it'll just skip it. Why? I don't know`even though its set to false it will skip the first one, and just not do it at all.

True it works, when you comment lines out, still not good that all lines are generally uncommented, so it's harder to sort them 🙈 I'm closing this post.

[iamhaymc]

I think the config files are adding key-value pairs to an initially empty object "Scripts", then we iterate over the keys in the object to determine the sequence of script execution. I think it just so happens to work out that the order of the scripts in the config correlates with the sequence of execution, but if true, that is not a very robust solution.

I think to change that, you can do a one of a handful of small tweaks in Loader.loadScripts() to sort the script list before they are executed.

[DarkHorseDre]

@krazy03 you confirmed one aspect (boss scripts) but not ALL scripts (rusher, rushee, chestmania etc) - the TYPE of script seems to be iterated through in a specific order then the scripts within that type; so yes, boss scripts can be rotated, but you will still run other scripts type in an order you cant control from the character config

@lrgstu very likely - I stopped short of this as it wasnt that important, but overriding the default sequence at that level is what would be needed.
