MSI Alcher counting off

Just noticed now that the counting for amount of spells is off for the alcher. I think it's because it's clicking a little too fast, and it's counting each click as an alch rather than the alchs themselves. I think the animation needs to be redone (I still have to properly make a tutorial on the new animation system, but in the meantime you can look at the chopping animation as an example).

I'll get to it eventually, but if someone would like to have a go at it that would be great. :)

Cheers,

Why even use clicks or animations to count off? Just store the number of nature runes when the script begins. natureRunesOnStart - natureRunesNow = howManyAlchs??

Good point. :p I'd hate to decrease the speed of the alcher anyway. Right now its really fast. We already calculate how many spells can be cast based on the runes found, so passing the variable shouldn't be difficult.

Can't believe I didn't think of that!

or:

CurrentEXP-StartEXP/65 := alchs
:p

Yeah. :p

I wrote a new function for this, and so far it's working perfectly. I'm alching well over 1k/hour (I checked the actual amount with the script amount), which is quite a bit of magic experience. I'm working on fixing the random detection issue with the alcher, so once I solve that I'll commit both fixes. Here's the function if anyone is curious:

Progress Report:

(*
MSI_CastsDone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: pascal

  procedure MSI_CastsDone();

Calculates the amount of casts the player has done for each spell and adds the
difference from the previous amount to the progress report/stats variables.

Example:

.. code-block:: pascal

  MSI_CastsDone();
*)
procedure MSI_CastsDone();
var
  i, j, castsDone, castsDiff: integer;
  castsLeft: TIntegerArray;
begin
  if (not loggedIn) then
    exit;

  castsLeft := MSI_CalculateCasts();
  for i := 0 to high(castsLeft) do
    with MSI_Players[currentPlayer].Scripts[currentScript] do
    begin
      if (castsLeft[i] <= 0) then
        continue;

      castsDone := (maxCasts[i] - castsLeft[i]);
      MSI_SubDebug('Number of casts[' + intToStr(i) + ']: ' + intToStr(castsDone));

      with MSI_Players[currentPlayer].ReportInfo do
      begin
        castsDiff := (castsDone - Casts[currentScript][MSI_CurrentSpell]);
        incEx(Casts[currentScript][MSI_CurrentSpell], castsDiff);
        MSI_AddToProggy(PROG_ADD_CASTS, -1, -1, castsDiff);
        stats_IncVariable(MSI_Spells[Spells[MSI_CurrentSpell]].StatsName, castsDiff);
      end;

      MSI_AddToProggy(PROG_ADD_EXP, -1, -1, (Round(MSI_Spells[Spells[MSI_CurrentSpell]].Experience * castsDiff)));
      MSI_SubDebug('Casts left[' + intToStr(i) + ']: ' + intToStr(castsLeft[i]));
    end;
end;
