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.

Popular Lich Scripts

The following are a list of scripts that enhance or extend basic functions of Gemstone IV and can improve or streamline your gaming experience to a point where you can't think of ever going back. It's not all inclusive but contains a good starter set or some of the most popular scripts in use.

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.
• Xnarost - Narost 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. Xnarost is distributed as part of a default Lich installation.

Use the ;wander add command to add the room you are currently standing in to the Wander List. Note: Wander will NOT enter your boundary rooms. For example, adding Town Square East to the list and then executing ;wander from within the confines of Moot Hall will send your character exploring every room in Moot, but unable to leave as TSE is a Boundary.

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.

[Click to Expand For more information]

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

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.
