is there a code?

[jozmon]

Okay I finally got 3.5.0 working thanks to kaypy!!!
My question is i wanna try the debug mode with 'ctrl a'
im not intrested in the high scores or anything. I am trying to make artifacts appear at my feet but if i type them in using 'ctrl a'+'shift C' it always says no artifact by that name is there a code i put in or just the name of the artifact? if theres a code to put in can you link me a page or post them if not teach me how to do it right? thank you for your time.

This is one of the more awkward things in the wizard UI. I think what you have to do is use the 'repetition' command to feed an integer into the artefact creation command.

In Sil, the command to repeat things is R. I'm not sure if it's the same in Vanilla. However, the idea is the same regardless.

Let's say you want the Necklace of Dwarves. If you look in lib/edit/artifact.txt, you'll notice the amulet has an id of 6 (N:6 line at the top). So, if you do R, pick '6' as your repetition count, and then type Ctrl-A C, that will create the Necklace for you.

Make sure to shout 'hadoken!' when you've successfully punched in this command chain.

Vanilla 3.5.0 is a bit simpler. It asks you for a number, rather than needing to go through the repeat command.

So Ctrl-a C 1 [enter] gets you the Phial and so forth

The number you need is still the one from the artifact list, though.

Can't you also type in the name of the artifact? So e.g. you'd type "Galadriel" for the Phial or "Dwarves" for the Necklace of the Dwarves.

i typed in all names i could

Poking around a bit more, the system uses a substring search (of minimum length 3), so eg whacking on the home row for
Ctl-a C asd [return]
will get you the first artifact in the list with "asd" in the non-case-sensitive name ie Careth Asdriag

Using a short length means less chance of a typo if you don't remember the name exactly. (Although you may get a different artifact if two match the substring)

If course the confusing thing here is that the item type is not considered part of the name, so "phial" wont get you the phial. And of course if you are using randarts you have to play guess the name (or just go back to numbers)

[kaypy]

Hmm. Randomly searched for wer and got "The Ring of Power of Power (The One Ring)". It's like the Ring of Power (The One Ring), but it goes up to 11?

Is this just cause of playing with debug, or is it a lurking randart bug that hasn't been noticed because no-one ever finds the one ring of power (of power)?

[jozmon]

okay, well rolling around on the ground crying!!! your helping me but by looking at the artifact txt i punch in the numbers and it gives me something different and trying the words random three letters works but doesnt help me get what i want, so unless i go through the numbers one at a time im screwed.

[Derakon]

Could you tell us the exact steps you're performing, and the item that you're getting, and the item that you expected to get instead? Something's going wrong, but it's hard to know what without more information.
