There doesn't seem to be a good way to filter by type for the festival toys like the Disposable Juggling Knives. The Item Data gives Type: Trophy sType: 111

Thanks for the great addon! I keep using it and like it more and more!

Found two small bugs:
1) Setting "Task start message" does not hide start message in chat
2) Function "Level" does not work correctly for jewelry craft materials (I did not test other). I use Russian game language.
I have rule
I expect that material Copper Ounce (level 26-50) and all CP materials match this rule, but only CP materials matched.

Is there no motif equivalent for needlearninorder?

Just wanted to thank you for it. I am now swapping gear and no annoying messages about my previous items going to the junk (yet not going there).

cheers!

Uhm yes.
I'd want something like the following psuedocode:
I'd do something similar for laundering raw materials and unknown/valuable recipes/motifs.


Ugh. Okay, well, try to find something, please. It's fairly annoying. Is there at least to get an option where I can manually drag it to make it larger?

Sounds like you might be a fan of Leos's Trainer, which I've played with some, but not a lot. But it will make the L1 items for you. :-)
In the end, I think you're right, and RBI would only tangentially be involved in any auto-research process.



Yep, and I'm keeping it, at least until I find something better.

Yea, I wouldn't advise the Task per Mark path, since then you have to deal with the eventuality of people renaming some of the marks, and then you have to figure out what to do with the old tasks.... and it would look like a royal mess for a limited set of use cases.
Having the function within seems like it could work.

I think I had it set up like:countstackMax is 100 for these. I had 100 in bag, 146 in bank. Talked to merchant, and it sold 100, not 46. Went to bank, withdrew 100 (ok), then talked to merchant, and it sold all 100 again. At which point I just dismantled the selling rule, and went back to only selling junk.

Yea. One of the cases I also have is when I'm training an alt up on blacksmithing, I want that alt to do a bunch of decon work, sacrificing the extra profit of having the main crafter do the decon, (but getting the profit back long term with better daily writ rewards). Writing all the logic for "oh this alt is training, so they decon before main crafter, but once they hit 50, stop" is possible, with the right functions, but a lot of bother. If I just say "decon with a keypress", then I get the control I want, with minimal hassle. Once they are all trained, I can go back to full auto, at which point a filter for the passive would be nice.


Hmm, so I could have my "main profile" instead be a ruleset, and then have several profiles based off that ruleset, only with each profile storing a few additional task->rule mappings? Hmm. Okay. I'd have to play with that. That's not at all clear from the wiki.


Yea, I think that to get what I really want here, I'd have to write my own addon. I think the logic I'm looking for would get beyond what RBI would ever be capable of without a complete re-write. So I'll see if I care enough about it to go that far. :-)

=====

One thing that has really been bugging me of late is a UI issue. When I enter a new rule, the textbox for editing the rule will grow in size (number of visible lines). Some of my rules get a bit lengthy, like 8-9 lines. When I then go back to edit the rule, I get a three line window, which makes it really hard to read and edit. I don't know the ESO LUA UI options enough, but can we get a resizeable text box here, or at least have it open with more lines for large text blocks?

A man can dream....

And yea, I figured several of these ideas were long shots, just letting you know some of the things I think of, that I'd use if the opportunity arose.

I've used Research Assistant before, when I was working on nine traiting my main crafter. It works amazingly well, as long as you focus on one character at a time. I've since mostly decided I'm not that invested in researching on my alts, so likely won't pursue this much more.

For the container part of "using", I just found the addon Unboxer, which seems to work quite well at having me not think about boxes of things anymore.

I just have reservations of having too many addons operating in a similar space, since they can interfere with each other, and get really nasty to debug. Hence mentioning them here, to see if I could further integrate things.

Yea, I've thought about it some more within the confines of your model. Selecting the items and having a task would be really easy... right up to the point where you say which mark to apply, especially since there are dynamic markers as well. The "best" idea I've had is completely inelegant, and pure cheese, which would be to read something from the name of the rule to get the mark. So you could have a rule like "Mark Covetous Treasure [Covetous]" which then sees the "[MarkName]", telling you what mark to apply. I warned you it was pure cheese.

I played with this some, and kinda got it working, but it was pretty clunky in practice, and was starting to be a solution more painful than the problem, so I stopped caring. I ran into issues with getting the amount to sell be correct (it would at times oversell), and then realized that the rules would get really complicated with some of the potions... like the Essense of Stamina, which my Argonian Tank drinks like breathing air, but nobody else touches.... point being this is a place where I use Quickslotted... which greatly complicates the selling rule when a character only sometimes wants it in inventory. I'll just continue periodically manually selling the overflow stacks in the bank.

Cool. For reference, it's multiple skills, once per line. Metal Extraction, Unraveling, Runestone Extractions, Jewelry Extraction, Wood Extraction. Each of these have three levels. A helper function of "for this station's skill line" would be handy, of course.
I could also see the Refine/Extract/Deconstruct tasks being triggered by a bound key instead of automatic, just so there's more control over it firing.



I really haven't tried using the stored rulesets yet, because I didn't see a big win of using them over loading one profile, making some changes to mapping, and then saving it as a profile with a different name. Unless there's something I'm missing here.

I know that when I update a Rule, it updates across all profiles and characters who use it.
As things settle in, it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm still debating how best to handle my "destroy cheap stolen stuff when over capacity" issue though. That's an actual problem, as I'll head out and steal all of Wayrest at times, and that can be a lot of loot. I'm unaware of any addons that come close to managing this part of things.


In the end, thanks for all the work. RBI is already solving >90% of my loot management problems, which is way more than I had before.

At the moment, I'm in a pretty good spot on much of the things. With the LUA error gone, and the withdraw/store cycle resolved, most of my previous tasks have been adapted. For many of the remaining interactions with DLWC, I have an FCOIS marker "WritWork" which gets applied, and I have integrated into rules to limit the insanity.

The remaining bits are "nice to haves", but here's a list, so you can think about ways to handle the scenarios:

The auto-reading of recipes and motifs, as mentioned before.
The auto-looting of containers upon receipt, as mentioned before.
The auto-researching of traits, with rules about order of traits to learn, and who needs what (from Craftstore)
[though, since I have my main crafter 9-traited, this is less of a topic]

In Thieve's Guild, there's the Covetous Countess quest, which is a great way to speed level your Thieve's reputation... once you get a starter stockpile of appropriately typed treasure. In the past, I've made use of a task which I could toggle on, and when out looting the planet, (my main character is a complete kleptomaniac), treasures which could be used for that would get a FCOIS marker for the purpose, and be excluded from being fenced, instead getting laundered, etc. But I only do this one in a while, and fence/sell all of it the rest of the time. Having them marked in inventory also added a nice visual indicator of how I was doing.

I have some "commodity" items, where I want to keep a certain number of in character inventory, and then and stockpile in the bank. This currently works fine, with the CountBackpack functionality. However, what I'd like to add is another layer of logic, which is that if the bank has a full stack of the item, then overflow should be sold at a merchant. So let's talk Soul Gems. I want to keep 25 in inventory, and 200 in the bank. If my current character has 100, and there are 150 in the bank, and I then open a merchant, I'd like it to sell 25 of them. (keep 25 in inventory, and have 50 go to the bank, sell the remaining). I haven't figured out how to do that three way math yet.

Related to the above, I'd like to lump crown soul gems in with filled soul gems, and say things like "give my 25 total in inventory, but prefer crown ones when available". Thus, if I had 25 filled gems in bag, and 10 crown ones in bank, then rbi should put 10 filled gems into the bank, and take the 10 crown ones out.

When I'm out thieving, I reallocate to my possession treasures of various qualities, white/green/blue. As any good thief knows, there a daily fence limit, and so if you have lots of reallocated possessions, you can't fence all of them (this saddens Khajiit). Thus, one wants to sell the expensive stuff first. I have a rule auto-fence any blue or better treasure. However, there limits on inventory, and how many whites I can hold in the meantime. How might I make a rule where I auto destroy white treasure, but only if the sum of `Stolen() and Quality("normal", "fine", "superior", "epic") and type("treasure")` would put me over the remaining daily fence cap? Note that this might include such oddities as looting a blue treasure, thus triggering a white treasure getting destroyed.

I typically use Grand Repair Kits, with a different addon which repairs what I'm wearing whenever it gets under 5% (tunable) durability, on exiting combat. This is fine, and RBI now keeps my characters stocked with Repair Kits, without my thinking. However, I also have a small pile of Crown Repair Kits which I leave in my bank account, gathering dust. I'd love to have a threshold of average gear durability, and if when I hit the bank I'm below that level, I withdraw a crown kit and apply it.

Currently, I have a separate profile for my main crafter, since she has the advanced passives to get more out of refining and deconstructing, so I steer all of that work to her. If, instead, I had a function to check for the presence of such passives, I could collapse those profiles.

Alternatively, I'm noticing that I have a "base set" of rules that I use all the time, and form my main profile, but then have have some auxiliary profiles (like the crafter above, but also one for when I'm running surveys, to pull them out of bank, instead of stuff them in) which are just adding a couple extra rule/task mappings over that base profile. However, when I edit the base profile, it seems I have to go edit all the others. Would it be possible to mark a profile as "additive" or "on top of" a different profile? That would remove the need to have the crafter levels in previous idea.

It likely won't help you as you'd like, since I'm mostly just telling people to add a certain set of rules and task mappings. Many of them are not CS backgrounds, and thus wouldn't figure it out.
