Festival shopping script (updated by Paul to work with different currencies). I am not using the full output (just containers and signs, not the room info) since the format of this page has a pretty long history now, and all containers should be compared to determine need for archiving. If you have no experience with the shopping script, it's hit and miss, and a heavily scripted item can cause a very long delay. If you can't copy with the current security settings, let me know.

Sending you an updated version that should speed the checks up in general. You can also run ;festshop speedy, ;festshop quick, or ;festshop fast, which will set the checks to only wait a half of a second each. (They all do the same thing.) I'd run that first, and then fall back on the non-speedy option if lag is eating you up. PFLATS (talk) 23:29, 22 April 2016 (CDT)
The version I sent you doesn't have your village-specific tweaks, btw. I didn't even think of it til now. Sorry 'bout that. PFLATS (talk) 23:33, 22 April 2016 (CDT)
The only tweak was replacing all instances of "silver" with "Duskruin Arena bloodscrip." I'll make the change in the new script and check it in a shop, then repost in the doc. VANKRASN39 (talk) 23:47, 22 April 2016 (CDT)
Something is wrong with the version Paul sent me, retaining current version until at least tomorrow. VANKRASN39 (talk) 00:07, 23 April 2016 (CDT)
Paul is awesome. I didn't want to bother him with the new baby, but he took the time anyway to help out. General fest script updated for multiple currencies, UAC gear, etc. VANKRASN39 (talk) 22:50, 23 April 2016 (CDT)

Instructions

Go to link above, copy/paste text into notepad, change file extension dropdown .txt to all files, and save as festshop.lic in the lich script folder. Run ;festshop in a room. If the script stalls at all or doesn't give any wiki output, you can try ;festshop (in/on/under/behind) (container noun) and the script will try a single container. After the script runs, make sure the script got all the containers in the room, it misses obscure ones, also search every room for any hidden passages.

After running the script, copy/paste the signs/containers somewhere else, and check the containers with the old inventory to determine what needs to go in the archives. I have not been using the full output with room descriptions and blockquotes, but it's not the end of the world if they get pasted in. VANKRASN39 (talk) 09:46, 23 April 2016 (CDT)
