PoP Flag demystifying program
I wrote this little program because I always meant to do it when it would have helped me. Since people seem to still have problems figuring out flags, I decided to go ahead and write it now.

It is a .NET app, and you can get .NET here.

home.earthlink.net/~nilesn/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/popflagparser.exe

That's the link. Do with it what you will. Post glaring errors here, please.

There are still a lot of loose ends, but the basics are all covered. If I have time, I'll add some logic to tie the big picture together.

"[Mon May 03 10:56:38 2004] Your soul has formed a bond with the Plane of Time. You can now pass through the portal in the Plane of Tranquility safely."

Other things missing checks in the boxes that I have ...

Re: PoP Flag demystifying program
I've nearly written a program like this a few times in VB...just never got around to it...kudos to you for doing so. Tighten it up just a tad and this may become mandatory toolage for many guilds!

There's something wierd about that line. It should start with, "Saryrn has been bested...", I thought. I went ahead and added it though, and removed case-sensitivity all around, since that is what kept it from recognizing your hoh trial 3. The "Kill RZ..." line you got was from your sol ro line ("besting the burning prince..."). When I ran your text, it did recognize your Time flag, btw. The hints are mostly pretty generic at this point, but I think I might spend some time doing the higher level interaction stuff tonight (like what does it mean if you have this flag and that flag, but not that other one).

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, and new version available with the fixes above...

My text is:

[Sun May 02 22:34:13 2004] You say, 'guided meditation'
[Sun May 02 22:34:13 2004] Learning of Zebuxoruk's fate, the only way to save him is gather materials that will allow you to power up the machine to send you into the Plane of Time. Maelin has charged you with finding an elemental power source sufficient to activate Meldrath's time machine.
[Sun May 02 22:34:13 2004] The Cipher of the Divine Language appears on your arms for a brief moment then fades.

[Sun May 02 22:34:13 2004] The true route to the Plane of Fire is now clear in your mind.
[Sun May 02 22:34:13 2004] You remember Nitram's words - 'three small turns to the right on the bottommost rivet should open the door'.

________________________________________

However it still says I need a PoJ trial, Behemoth, TZ, VZ, Agnarr, and RZ kills on the little checklist. I know this isn't the case as I'm a Coirnav flag away from Time. But perhaps the flag messages have been replaced and your program doesn't pick that up, and it could cause some confusion for others. A few tweaks and it'd be really nice, though.

Re: PoP Flag demystifying program


That's what I got when I ran what you posted, Lenas. Unsure why it would come up different for you? Maybe you were using the older version which had some case-sensitivity issues.

Oh well, must just be me :)

Re: PoP Flag demystifying program
Version .100 posted. I ran the data from the first 10 or so pages of the big flagging thread above through it, and am satisfied with the output, mostly. The TO DO: list is vastly improved.

If anyone is stuck and the program doesn't list the steps you need (and they aren't easily identifiable from the checked flags), please post your log here and I will update the program.

Thanks,

Bruin

I get that same text on my warrior for Saryn flag. It looks like they changed the text for some reason.

I find this chart does it all for me.

Use your own memory and follow the chart....

Did you do x? Then after x did you remember to do y?
