[ POLICY | what is a script | Directions on installing scripts | Running Scripts ]
Please be aware that Simutronics has a policy on scripts; you cannot run a script while you are Away
From the Keyboard for any reason! There is some discussion that only scripts that gain your hero
experience are illegal to run AFK, but I would rather be safe than sorry. To read it for yourself, click on
POLICY to the left of the HX homepage. Remember, if you are caught scripting AFK, and yes, they
have ways of finding out, you stand the chance of being locked out of all Simutronics games and possibly
banned for life. So don't hold me responsible if you get snagged, I warned ya.
For those of you who don't have the faintest clue to what a script is...
A script is a type of mini-program that you can use to get certain tedious and repetitive tasks done while
you are using the Wizard front end program to play the game. They can be most useful in travelling long
distances, among other things. There are two kinds of scripts that the wizard supports: Those that you
can start with the push of a button or by using the drop down menu, denoted by the .wiz tag, and those
that you enter in the command buffer (the box that you type in at the bottom of the screen) which are
denoted with the .cmd tag. The main difference between the two is that with a .cmd script you can enter
multiple parameters at once, thereby reducing the time it takes to run a .wiz script over and over for
every different parameter you need. If you're still confused, perhaps it will become clearer when I
describe the .cmd scripts individually.Additionally, you can't really do much else when scripts are running. The most you can do safely without
messing up the script is talk, so advise whoever is with you that you will be "running" or somesuch towherever the script will be taking you.
Directions on installing scripts:
You don't need to be online and in-game to install scripts.Select the script you wish to install. Right click on the link and choose Save Target As.. on MS
Internet Explorer browsers or Save Link As... on Netscape browsers. Those of you on a Mac
hopefully should know how to save links to your machine ('cause I sure don't!).The only thing you'll need to do is to save it to the Scripts folder of the wizard.
The default location should be:
C://Program Files/Simu/Wizard/Xena/Scripts
Due to constraints of the host's file manager, I had to upload the scripts as .txt files. When you Save
as..., make sure the File name ends in the appropriate .wiz or .cmdMake a note of the name of .cmd scripts so you will be able to use them through the command buffer.
To run .wiz scripts, simply choose the Scripts drop down menu and then Execute a Script... . Choose
the script you want to use and off you go! If you are using a travelling script, make sure you're in theproper room to start or you may end up hopelessly lost!
You can also run .wiz scripts with the touch of a button! First, you need to find out which symbol on
your keyboard has been dedicated to running scripts. Click Configuration at the top of the wizard, then
Options. Towards the bottom theres a parameter that says "Prefix CMD scripts with:". The default
setting is a period "." If you would rather have another symbol instead of a period, change it. Decide
how you would like to enable the script either with a <ctrl> or <alt> plus a letter. Use something you'll
remember ( I use <ctrl><b> for a bundling script ). Go to Configuration, then Macro Keys... . Pick
the folder and letter you want and type: {=nameofscript} where "nameofscript" is the name of the .wiz
script you wish to start.With these .cmd scripts you MUST replace the text that is in BOLD inside the script itself, or the script
will not work. To access the script to edit it, click Scripts at the top of the wizard, then Edit A Script.
Choose the script to edit. Highlight the words in bold and replace them with the proper terms. For
instance, if you use a machete, highlight the word WEAPON and type machete.These scripts assume you are using one weapon and a shield. If you use two weapons at once, highlight
the entire phrase for shield users ( either "wear my shield" or "remove my shield" ) and replace it with the
appropriate phrase for your weapon, such as "put my machete in my knapsack". Leave the rest of the
line intact. Two-handed weapon users can simply take out the entire line or lines referring to shield use.To run .cmd scripts you always need to display the script name in the command buffer and enter it. You
can also run a .cmd script from a macro, but it will require an <enter> afterwards, unlike a .wiz script.
To run a .cmd script, simply type in the symbol dedicated to running scripts ( usually a period ) then the
name of the script. Follow the script's name with the parameters you wish the script to go through, hit
<enter>, and you're off.
If for any reason you need to stop a script while its running,
simply hit the ESC key.
