Warehouse23 • View topic - A Helper Window to increase loathing efficiency

I posted a smaller version of this thread in the mail KoL forum, but I'll be more complete about it here. This is not a bot, simply a play-aide.

You will need to do a few things to customize it for yourself. First of all, you'll need to open a text file on your computer, and copy the HTML below into it. Go ahead and save it somewhere handy, like the desktop, and name it anything you like (with a .html at the end for standard practice).

Then you'll need to fire up KoL, and do a bit of downloading. The way I usually do this is just right-click on a link in KoL, and select the "download to disk" option. This will vary from browser to browser, so you are going to have to figure out how to do it on your own if you don't already know. Then you'll need to open up the file you downloaded in a text editor, and root around.

First thing you'll need to find is your password hash. This is a string of characters that will look like a6209def97257a836ccb20aade9 and will be between the quotes in this little tag: name=pwd value=''. You should *never* share your password hash with anyone (that is not mine, above -- it is just a random string). A good place to find this is by downloading the page from the "shore" link (right-click on "shore" from the main menu). Now replace PASSWORDHASH in the HTML below with your very own hash.

The next thing you'll need to do is actually customize what links are available. I have a kinda expensive diet, so my food and booze links are mostly pickles and umbrella drinks. To make links to the stuff that *you* use all the time, you'll need to download the applicable Inventory page just like you did for the Shore above. Open up that file in a text editor as well, and find the relevant item. For example, here's an excerpt from my inventory.php:

Brimstone Chicken Sandwich</a></b><font size=1><br><a href="inv_eat.php?which=1&whichitem=570">[eat]</a>

The important bit is the "inv_eat.php?which=1&whichitem=570" -- the inv_eat.php tells the server which script to run, and the 570 identifies which particular food to eat. In my code below, I would turn that same code above into this:

<a href="http://67.18.115.2/inv_eat.php?which=1&whichitem=570" target=mainpane>BC Sandwich</a>

You have to add the http://67.18.115.2/, and the target=mainpane. For clarity, I rename the [eat] to just be the object in question.

Is that all clear so far? Forms are a bit more complicated. They are used for things like vacations and buffing. I'm not going to go into the details, because hopefully you'll be able to figure it by playing around with it. Download the page in question from KoL and compare it with my code below. Message me if you need additional help.

SO! Save your edits, and now you have your own HTML file on your own desktop, and your own links inside it! The way I usually proceed to use it is to open KoL, open a second window, and load my file into it (drag and drop for me). I log in, then hit a link in my helper window. For some reason it logs me out back in my main window, but then I log back in, and everything works like a charm.

The beauty of this is that you now have all your usual stuff all on one pane -- Eating, Drinking, Common Items, Buffing, and regular Adventures. It saves you time and hassle, and helps the server by requiring less page loads. Beautiful. And since you are still doing everything manually, it doesn't get into the "questionable morality" of bots.

Here is the helper pane that I regularly use:

<html><head><title>Quick links for Repeat Actions</title></head>
