Crossing Training Settings

Description

Trains your non-combat skills in town. You list the skills in crossing_training, and each time round it picks the one with the lowest mindstate and trains it, usually by running that skill's own script (;appraisal, ;athletics, ;locksmithing and so on). When every skill is at crossing_training_max_threshold, it waits in your training room, playing your instrument, until one drops. It keeps going until you stop it. Training Manager runs it between hunts.

Before each skill, it casts the town-training set in your waggle_sets with ;buff town-training, if you have one.

When it starts, it opens your storage_containers and releases any cyclic spells. Each time round, it throws away any trash in your hands that isn't part of your gear.

Some routines use Crossing rooms: hiding for Stealth, and the default safe_room, compost_room and outdoor_room. Set your own rooms if you train elsewhere.

Settings

YAML Settings

What to train

crossing_training:
- Appraisal
- Athletics
- Locksmithing
- Scholarship
- Augmentation
crossing_training_max_threshold: 28
training_rooms:
- 851

Setting	Default	Purpose
crossing_training		The skills to train, spelled as the game shows them. The order doesn't matter: it always trains the ready skill with the lowest mindstate.
crossing_training_max_threshold	28	It leaves alone a skill at this mindstate or above. When every skill is there, it idles (see When everything is trained).
training_rooms		Rooms to train in. It picks one at random when it starts. Without it, your safe_room.
safe_room	851	The training room when you don't set training_rooms.

How each skill is trained

Skill	What it does
Alchemy	Remedies work orders, with Remedies in train_workorders (see Work orders). Otherwise it says "*** NOT YET IMPLEMENTED ***" and drops Alchemy.
Appraisal	;appraisal, in your training room. From 250 ranks it plays your instrument as well.
Arcana	;sanowret-crystal run, or research (see Research).
Astrology	;astrology.
Athletics	;athletics.
Attunement	;attunement, or research.
Augmentation, Warding, Utility, Debilitation	Casts the skill's spell from training_spells, once you have 40 mana. With train_with_spells: false, uses the skill's training_nonspells instead. Or research (see Research).
Life Magic, Holy Magic, Lunar Magic, Elemental Magic, Arcane Magic	Research only. Only list these with use_research: true, or it says "Tried to use spell research to train skill with it disabled, please correct YAML." over and over.
Empathy	PERCEIVE HEALTH in your hometown's rooms for it, from base-town.yaml. The average of your Empathy and Attunement ranks must be at least 75, or it says "***UNABLE TO TRAIN EMPATHY DUE TO LOW RANK, REMOVING IT FROM THE TRAINING LIST***".
Enchanting	Artificing work orders, with Artificing in train_workorders. Otherwise ;craft enchanting.
Engineering	Shaping or Carving work orders, with either in train_workorders. Otherwise ;craft engineering.
First Aid	;faskinner if you set fa_skinning_trainer, then ;first-aid while First Aid is below 30.
Forging	Blacksmithing or Weaponsmithing work orders, with either in train_workorders. Otherwise ;craft forging.
Instinct	;scouting.
Locksmithing	;locksmithing, in your lockpick_room_id (or training room). If that took more than 15 seconds, it runs ;sell-loot afterwards.
Outdoorsmanship	;outdoorsmanship, in your training room. Or ;mining-buddy, with mine_for_outdoorsmanship: true.
Outfitting	Tailoring work orders, with Tailoring in train_workorders. Otherwise ;craft outfitting.
Perception	;outdoorsmanship perception, in your training room.
Performance	Plays a song and waits for it to end. If it can't play, it says "***UNABLE TO TRAIN PERFORMANCE, REMOVING IT FROM THE TRAINING LIST***".
Scholarship	In Crossing, unless you're a Necromancer: ;study-art scholarship. Anywhere else, it studies pages 1 to 14 of chapter 6 of your blacksmithing book until Scholarship is 30. Without the book: "***UNABLE TO TRAIN SCHOLARSHIP, REMOVING IT FROM THE TRAINING LIST***".
Sorcery	;sorcery. It needs crossing_training_sorcery set, or a runestone while Sorcery is 50 ranks or less; otherwise "***UNABLE TO TRAIN SORCERY, REMOVING IT FROM THE TRAINING LIST***". See Sorcery Settings.
Stealth	Hides and unhides in five Crossing rooms: 851, 850, 764, 5992 and 992. Only below 30 ranks. After that only train_with_burgle trains it.
Summoning	Summons a weapon and breaks it. From circle 4 it also uses PATHWAY FOCUS DAMAGE.
Theurgy	;theurgy.
Thievery	;steal. With hide_to_steal: true, it stops playing first.
Trading	Work orders in whichever of your work_order_disciplines has the lowest crafting mindstate. With sell_pouches_for_trading: true, it first runs ;sell-pouches while Trading is below 5.
Mechanical Lore	It's no longer in the game: it warns and drops it.

• A dropped skill is gone for the rest of the run, and back the next time it starts.
• Any other skill: "skill not implemented yet", then a 15-second pause.
• With train_with_burgle: true, it runs ;burgle start before Athletics, Locksmithing, Stealth and Thievery, and skips the skill if the burglary got it to 30.

Skill timers

exp_timers:
  Attunement: 130
  First Aid: 400
  Locksmithing: 600
  Stealth: 300
  Theurgy: 720
  Thievery: 600

After training a skill, it waits this many seconds before training that skill again. Skills you don't list wait 14 seconds. These are the base.yaml defaults. Your own exp_timers replaces the whole list, so copy any you want to keep. The timers are saved between runs. T2 reads the same setting.

When no skill is ready, it idles the same as when everything is trained.

Work orders

train_workorders:
- Tailoring
- Shaping
work_order_disciplines:
- Tailoring
- Shaping
sell_pouches_for_trading: false

Setting	Default	Purpose
train_workorders		Disciplines to train with work orders instead of ;craft: Tailoring (Outfitting), Shaping or Carving (Engineering), Blacksmithing or Weaponsmithing (Forging), Artificing (Enchanting) and Remedies (Alchemy).
work_order_disciplines		For Trading: the disciplines to do work orders in. Any of Blacksmithing, Weaponsmithing, Armorsmithing, Tailoring, Shaping, Carving or Remedies. Without it, each time it tries Trading it beeps and says "SELECT DISCIPLINES FOR TRADING TRAINING WITH work_order_disciplines:".
sell_pouches_for_trading	false	For Trading: sell gem pouches with ;sell-pouches first, while Trading is below 5.

• Each work order needs 5,000 copper on hand (20,000 for Artificing). It withdraws it from your bank if it has to. If it can't, it says "Low on funds, removing skill from training".
• It runs ;workorders <discipline>, then ;sell-loot, then walks back. See Workorders Settings for the work order settings.

Anything else: "You have skill listed as a research skill, which is not a valid research option".

• It starts a project only while the skill is below 18 (Arcana and the magic skills) or below 9 (Attunement, Augmentation, Warding and Utility).
• It keeps Gauge Flow up, casting GAF until it has more than 20 minutes left.
• While a project runs, it only trains skills that won't break it: Summoning, Attunement, Outdoorsmanship, Perception, Empathy and Theurgy, leaving out any you research. With crafting_training_spells set, Outdoorsmanship and Perception wait too.

• When Training Manager stops it, it finishes the project first.

• It plays your instrument while it idles, while it trains Performance and Scholarship, and during Appraisal from 250 ranks, but not once Performance is at 28 or while researching. If the game says "Play on what instrument", it stops trying for the rest of the run.

When everything is trained

When every skill is at crossing_training_max_threshold, or none is ready (see Skill timers), it walks to your training room, plays a song, shows your TDPs, and checks again 30 seconds later. With exit_on_skills_capped: true, it quits the game instead.

Argument Settings

Argument	Purpose
name	Also load <character>-<name>.yaml on top of your setup file, so you can keep a second training setup. ;crossing-training town loads Mychar-town.yaml. You can give more than one.

Usage

;crossing-training

;crossing-training town

For debug messages, ;vars set crossing_trainer_debug=true. Setup Aliases' ;ct alias starts it, or stops it if it's running.

Training Manager

Training Manager runs crossing-training between hunts and stops it when your skills are trained or it's time to hunt.

T2

Don't put it in a T2 training_list. It never finishes on its own, so T2 would wait forever. T2 runs each skill's own script instead.
