The WoTMud Wiki Homeland guide

I just upload to this site when I was stat: http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/stats/

It's also easy enough to download the data and create a pivot table to calculate odds of whatever I'm looking for.

You don't happen to have a working zmud script for submitting to that do you Kait? I registered a few weeks ago and got my key, but couldn't find a script newer than three years old, and couldn't get that working...

EDIT nvm the zmud script here doesn't work for me: http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/scripts/.

Admittedly I tend to find excuses to use spreadsheets as I love them so much. So I just use a google doc spreadsheet and enter in my stats manually and have a formula parse the URL then click on it each time. (I just like having all my stats recorded in that sheet for quick comparisons. )

E.g.,
STR INT WIL DEX CON SUM URL
18 14 10 18 18 78 forumla is: =concatenate("http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/stats/submi ... con=",F781)

Substitute APIKEY for your own private apikey which you get when you register on that website.

lol you are all getting so fancy, and here I am with my word document lists. I feel so old school, cause it isn't even in an Excel sheet.

TL/DR: script didn't work so I modified it and pasted it below.
Figured I'd test the zmud code. Here are the steps I followed:
1. Copied the zmud code from here: http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/scripts/3/w ... ubmission/
2. Pasted it into the zmud command prompt (all at once) and pressed enter.
3. Logged into the wotmad.herokuapp.com website and then went here http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/stats/contribute/ and copied my API key.
4. In the zmud command prompt, typed 'WM_SETKEY mykey' substituting mykey with my actual key. And then I pressed enter.
I correctly received the message, "Setting wotmad API key to mykey"
5. Killed 3 saplings to get to level 3.
6. The script automatically detected I was level three, opened Internet Explorer (eww) and tried to use the generated URL but failed.

7. Looking at the URL I saw discrepancies from what I use in a spreadsheet to what the script generates:
-Script generates an extra '/' in it, e.g., http://wotmad.herokuapp.com//stats...
-Script generates 'ashtml=true' which is not what I use for my spreadsheet.
-order of variables in script is different than in what I use, e.g., name/homeland/sex... I use name/sex/faction/...

8. I modified the script to make it match the URL I use for my spreadsheet.

9. Tested it twice and it worked.

10. Deleted the script and then reinstalled my version. Tested it and it worked.

As the original script didn't work, here's my new version:

Code: Select all

#CLASS {WM_STAT}
#ALIAS WM_SETKEY {#SHOW Setting wotmad API key to %1;#VAR WM_API_KEY %1}
#VAR WM_API_KEY {}
#VAR WM_API_ROOT {http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/}

Close the browser window after submission.";#URL %concat( @WM_API_ROOT, "stats/submit/?apikey=", @WM_API_KEY, "&name=", @WM_STAT_NAME, "&sex=", @WM_STAT_SEX, "&faction=", @WM_STAT_FACTION, "&class=", @WM_STAT_CLASS, "&homeland=", @WM_STAT_HOMELAND, "&strength=", %1, "&intel=", %2, "&wil=", %3, "&dex=", %4, "&con=", %5);#VAR WM_STAT_DORECORD 0 _nodef WM_STAT}}}
#TRIGGER {You feel dizzy as time seems to spin backwards...$} {#var WM_STAT_DORECORD 1 _nodef WM_STAT}
#TRIGGER {Select a class:} {#var WM_STAT_DORECORD 1 _nodef WM_STAT}
#TRIGGER {^You were rented for %d.%d days.} {score}
#CLASS 0

Instructions
1. Copy/paste the whole script at once into the zmud prompt and press enter.
2. log into http://wotmad.herokuapp.com and then go to http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/stats/contribute/. Copy your API key.
3. In the zmud prompt type 'wm_setkey yourkey' and press enter (without the quotes) and substituting yourkey for your API key that you just copied.
4. Type stat and then enter. Then type score then enter.
5. At level 3 your stats should automatically be uploaded to the database. Go here to verify they were uploaded: http://wotmad.herokuapp.com/stats
6. Let me know if this doesn't work. (Worked fine for me.)

@Mantorok Excel is so old -- it's all about Google Drive now, man. It autosaves on the server so no need worrying about your computer corrupting files or the hard drive dying. It also includes version control. I LOVE google drive for docs/spreadsheets and dropbox for code.
