AllMine is a Lich script that guards a placed All Mine item (a basket, bowl, or similar placeable object like Dhu Kittens) against being accidentally left behind. All Mine items can only be picked up by their owner for a set window after being placed, but players who wander off or log out without retrieving one risk losing it once that window lapses. AllMine hard-blocks movement and logoff commands while the item is on the ground, and raises repeating alerts if it is left behind anyway.

Overview

Once armed, AllMine intercepts outgoing movement and quit/exit commands and refuses to send them to the game while the configured item remains on the ground in the current room. Sending the identical command a second time within 10 seconds overrides the block, so a deliberate decision to leave the item behind is still possible — the script only guards against accidental departures.

If the item is left behind regardless (for example, if the block is paused, or the player disconnects), a background watchdog raises a repeating alert describing where the item was placed and when. The watchdog never attempts to retrieve the item automatically or move the character — it is alert-only by design.

Features

• Detects when the configured item is placed or dropped, and arms automatically
• Also arms if the item is already on the ground when the script starts, or if a held item transitions to the ground without a recognized message
• Hard-blocks compass movement, all documented GemStone IV movement styles (crawl, limp, march, sashay, skip, sneak, stride, stumble, trudge, prance, and normal walking), and QUIT/EXIT, while the item is on the ground
• 10-second identical re-send bypass, so a deliberate departure is one extra keystroke rather than a separate confirmation command
• Repeating alert (default every 15 seconds) if the item is left behind, silenced with a single command once acknowledged
• Recognizes when the item is recovered and lifts the block automatically
• Persists its state across a Lich restart, so a crash or disconnect while the item is deployed is not silent — the script announces the item's last known location on the next launch
• Works with any All Mine item by noun (bowl, basket, etc.) — not hard-coded to one item

Requirements

• Lich 5, with Ruby-based script support
• GemStone IV, any supported front end (tested on Wrayth)

Installation

Save the script as allmine.lic in the Lich scripts directory. No dependencies beyond core Lich5.

Getting Started

Configure the noun of the item once, then start the monitor:

;allmine set bowl
;allmine

The monitor must be running for the movement block and watchdog to be active. If the item's noun is changed while the monitor is already running, restart it so the detection patterns rebuild.

Commands

Command	Description
;allmine set <noun>	Configure the item's noun (for example, bowl)
;allmine (no arguments)	Start the monitor
;allmine arm	Manually arm on a matching item already on the ground in the current room
;allmine status	Show current configuration and state
;allmine ack	Silence a left-behind alert without clearing the deployed state
;allmine clear	Manually clear the deployed state (for example, if the item was recovered by other means)
;allmine pause	Disable the movement block; the watchdog continues to run
;allmine resume	Re-enable the movement block
;allmine debug	Toggle echoing of raw upstream command lines, for troubleshooting
;allmine verb add <verb>	Add a custom movement verb to the block list
;allmine verb remove <verb>	Remove a previously added custom movement verb

Default Blocked Commands

• Compass directions: n, north, s, south, e, east, w, west, ne, northeast, nw, northwest, se, southeast, sw, southwest, u, up, d, down, out
• Movement verbs: go, climb, swim, jump, leap, dive, vault, enter, board, ride, walk, crawl, limp, march, sashay, skip, sneak, stride, stumble, trudge, prance
• Logoff: quit, exit

Additional verbs can be added per character with ;allmine verb add <verb>.

Notes

• The watchdog does not automatically return the character to the item's location or attempt to retrieve it. This is intentional — the script only alerts.
• Known Issue: Script-generated movement from scripts like go2 (as opposed to typed commands) are not intercepted by the movement block! The watchdog's left-behind alert serves as a backstop regardless.

Script Source

=begin

  allmine.lic - All Mine item guard

  Prevents accidentally leaving a placed All Mine item (basket, bowl, etc.)
  behind when moving rooms or logging off. Hard-blocks movement/quit while
  the item is on the ground, with a 10-second re-send bypass. A watchdog
  thread fires repeating alerts (no auto-return) if the item is left behind
  anyway.

    ;allmine set <noun>     configure the item noun (e.g. bowl)
    ;allmine arm            manually arm on an item already on the ground
    ;allmine status         show current state
    ;allmine ack            acknowledge/silence a left-behind alert
    ;allmine clear          manually clear deployed state
    ;allmine pause          disable the movement block (monitoring continues)
    ;allmine resume         re-enable the movement block
    ;allmine verb add <v>   add a custom movement verb to block
    ;allmine verb remove <v>
    ;allmine help           show help

  Run with no arguments to start the monitor. Subcommands may be issued
  while the monitor runs; they modify shared settings and exit.

  NOTE: It is unverified whether script-generated movement (e.g. go2's
  fput) passes through UpstreamHook. If it bypasses the block, the
  watchdog alert still catches the left-behind item. Test live.

       version: 0.3.1

  changelog:
    0.3.1 (2026-07-13):
      Fix mojibake in bold alert text (replaced em dash with plain hyphen;
      file is now pure ASCII). Added full GSIV movement style verb list
      (crawl, limp, march, sashay, skip, sneak, stride, stumble, trudge,
      prance) plus walk -- previously only compass verbs like sashay
      passed through unblocked.
    0.3.0 (2026-07-13):
      Fix movement block never firing: hooks no longer touch CharSettings
      (unavailable in hook context); state mirrored into module ivars.
      Tolerant upstream command parsing (optional <c> prefix). Added
      ;allmine debug to echo raw upstream lines.
    0.2.0 (2026-07-13):
      Arm when the item is already on the ground at monitor start, when a
      held item transitions to ground loot (missed place message), or via
      manual ;allmine arm.
    0.1.0 (2026-07-13):
      Initial release. Deploy/pickup detection, hard-block with 10s
      re-send bypass, alert-only watchdog, crash persistence.
