Lich:Script Repository

Lich:Script Repository is a third party script and is not maintained by Simutronics. Simutronics is not responsible for the accuracy of the information presented on this page, nor is it liable for issues stemming from the use of the application on players' personal devices.

The repository, owned by Tillmen, is the most common location for downloading scripts that are not pre-installed with Lich.

How to Use the Repository

The repository has four basic commands:

;repository

;repository download <scriptname>

;repository info <scriptname>

;repository list

The first shows a Help screen and is the root command for all others.

The second, often shortened to ';repo down', lets you download a specified script.

Third, INFO provides information about whatever script is specified. If the author has been kind and thorough, this will tell you how to use the script and if it has any interdependencies.

Fourth, LIST will list all scripts in the repository.

Updating Scripts

The repository supports updates via prefedined scripts and the MapDatabase To see a list of scripts you currently have set to updatable, ;repo show-updatable. For users on Lich 5+, you want Lich: off to be displayed.

To add a script to be updated, ;repo set-updatable <scriptname>. To view scripts you have set to be auto-updated, ;repo show-updatable. It is only recommended to set scripts from authors you trust to auto-update.

If you want to remove, ;repo unset-updatable <scriptname>.

Popular Lich Scripts

Core components installed with Lich

Generally speaking, the below scripts should not need to be updated manually by the user, especially if the user keeps up to date on the current lich version.

• go2 - Go2 is an intelligent travel script that is synchronized to many of the more complex scripts. Go2 uses a Room Number system and can intelligently plot routes between most any two rooms in all of Elanthia. Use can be as simple as ;go2 town or ;go2 bank to head to the nearest town square or bank. Use ;go2 targets to see a list of pre-programmed locations broken down by towns. Or, use ;go2 save <new location name>=<new location room number> to create your own locations. Go2 is distributed as part of a default Lich installation.
• map - map (fork of Narost/XNarost) is an active map library that can display your location and allows Point-And-Click travel. Simply right click and choose a map, pick a room on it and click on it. map is distributed as part of a default Lich installation.

Sortable list

The repository script has an in game GUI available that allows sorting by date, tags, etc. ;repo gui

Jinx (Repository alternative)

Jinx is a project that is an alternative form of script installation from the default ;repository. It can serve up scripts for download similar to the ;repo however it is not dependent on a single server that may be prone to outages. Any one can set up their own script library, and then users can add it as a source for the ;jinx script to search and download from.

Jinx is installed in the default Lich5 package. Jinx can be downloaded and installed into your scripts folder from the Elanthia Online github

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elanthia-online/scripts/master/scripts/jinx.lic

Right-click the above link and save it into the scripts folder in your lich directory.

Alternatively, the following command can be issued in game via lich to attempt to download the script to the proper directory for you (this command is for when the repository is down and the script cannot be downloaded naturally):

;e require 'open-uri';begin;jinx_remote = open("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elanthia-online/scripts/master/scripts/jinx.lic"); jinx_local = File.open(File.join(SCRIPT_DIR, 'jinx.lic'), "wb"); jinx_local.write(jinx_remote.read);ensure; jinx_remote.close(); jinx_local.close();end

once installed you can issue: ;jinx help for basic usage information.

Jinx Lich Repository Mirror

In the event the main ;repository is unavailable, there is currently an actively maintained ;jinx repository that is a direct mirror.

https://github.com/FarFigNewGut/lich_repo_mirror

Scripts can be manually retrieved from this Github repository (they are all located in the lib folder). The repository is also packaged and published for use directly with Jinx:

;jinx repo add ffnglichrepoarchive https://ffnglichrepoarchive.netlify.app

(You can use something shorter instead of "ffnglichrepoarchive" for the repo name if you'd like.)

Once it is setup as a source for ;jinx you can install any scripts from the repo with:

# install script for the first time
;jinx script install <script name> --repo=ffnglichrepoarchive

# update previously installed script
;jinx script update <script name> --repo=ffnglichrepoarchive

For example if you wanted to download or update invdb.lic:

# first install
;jinx script install invdb --repo=ffnglichrepoarchive

# update if you had previously downloaded invdb.lic
;jinx script update invdb --repo=ffnglichrepoarchive

Do note, if a script is not available on the archive, it's likely because it belongs to Elanthia-Online and those scripts are not found within the archive, but under a default repo that is configured with jinx. To use it, you would do the following, using bigshot.lic as an example

# first install
;jinx script install bigshot--repo=elanthia-online

# update if you had previously downloaded bigshot.lic
;jinx script update bigshot --repo=elanthia-online

You can also leave the --repo=<REPO_NAME> off to see all available options for a script that is found.

Jinx Lich Repository Offline Update Info

At times the default Lich repository (accessed via ;repo) can go offline, below are some helpful commands to update core Lich related functionality using Jinx.

# ensure running latest jinx.lic for newest compatibility
;jinx script update jinx.lic --repo=elanthia-online

# update spell-list.xml for new spells, cmans, cooldowns, etc
;jinx data update spell-list.xml --repo=elanthia-online

# update gameobj-data.xml for proper classification of NPCs and items
;jinx data update gameobj-data.xml --repo=core

# update mapdb and associated missing map files for graphical use
;jinx data update mapdb.json --repo=core

# update infomon for proper ingame tracking of skills, stats, spells, effects
;jinx script update infomon.lic --repo=elanthia-online
