Off hand, i'd say your rule looks good. How long have you been running with it?


What you can do to Proof your rule here is find any old "Heabrean Pauldrons", obtain the color of it's "Ornaments" from the "/VT PropertyDump", change your rule to look for this other color and do a "/VT TestItem" on the test pauldrons. Remember to re-select your loot profile in VTank after making changes to it.


On a side note: Do you or this guildmate have Heabrean Pauldrons with this color of "Ornaments"? Where did you pull that color from?


Try raising the "MaxDiff (S/V 0-1)" value a bit. (or as I do, put it to 1, then reduce it back down slowly as you start finding closer matching colors.)


If you've never seen this item with that exact color, it may not exist. I don't think colors are produced from a random number generator, I think there's set colors for different things. But that's just my theory based on my own searchings for specific colors.

Thanks.

I have several pieces of this color, they are all different numbers.

However, it looks like that is set to only pick up the pauldrons.

Would you give an example where any armor piece for any coverage of a specific color? That is, if my color is XXXXXX, any piece of armor it will pick up of that color.

The rule was supposed to find everything, I guess that is just for the pauldrons.

Thanks again.

Yes, the sample rule you gave me is indeead looking only for "Heabrean Pauldrons".


I need you to answer the following questions:

1) This color your after is only for the trim right?

2) You are only wanting "Heabrean" armor right?


To get all possible slot coverage of a certain color trim you'll need multiple rules at the moment. This is due to the Color Palette/Slot #'s for Trim being different per armor coverage.


Your lucky your armor "style" has been added to the "Armor Type Similar Color" requirement, so what you need to do is make more rules and for each new rule, choose a different one of the "Heabrean" armor coverages from the list.

I would have to experiment here, figure out if "Chest" and "Base" are the dyeable portions of the armor. I'm guessing so. And am going to proceed as if i'm right here. It looks like Heabrean BPs have 3 zones, 2 are likely not-dyeable. So I think you'd want 4 rules:


Rule 1 = Heabrean BPs

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean BP (Ornament)" "203A6D" "20" "1"

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean BP (Trim)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Rule 2 = Heabrean Girths

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean Girth (Trim)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Rule 3 = Heabrean Helps

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean Helm (Mask)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Rule 4 = Heabrean Pauldrons

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean Pauldrons (Ornament)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Then, after you find plenty of vairous shades of the color your looking for on each of the coverage types. You can try them all on and decide which RGB value for which coverage type you want and go back to edit your rules. Change the RGB value to the one you want, set "Max diff (Hue 0-255)" to 0, and also set "Max diff (S/V 0-1)" to 0. This will make the rule SUPER PICKY about that RGB value.

Ok, I was playing around with the Heabrean armor I had on a mule, For the BreastPlate, you don't need that 2nd requirement. Best I can tell, Ornament is the belt of finger looking things that goes all the way around the middle. Trim is the little dots at the lower end of these finger looking things (like finger nails or something). On my 4 Heabrean BP's, the Trim was always a lighter shade of the same color the Ornament was. So go with the following:


Rule 1 = Heabrean BPs

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean BP (Ornament)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Rule 2 = Heabrean Girths

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean Girth (Trim)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Rule 3 = Heabrean Helps

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean Helm (Mask)" "203A6D" "20" "1"


Rule 4 = Heabrean Pauldrons

"Armor Type Similar Color" "Heabrean Pauldrons (Ornament)" "203A6D" "20" "1"

Did you ever get those Blue Heabrean rules working?

Nope, never found anything. I was just trying to help a friend out anyway and they didn't care about the trim, just that color red. I've never had any luck with finding colors, and I tried setting up the rules, but probably didn't do it right.

LoL, they didn't care what color the trim was? why don't they just run around the swamp then and gather red plants for dye? (I think it's the swamp where red plants are found...? I've not looked for red before.)


The rules I had been talking about focused only on the non-dyable parts of Heabrean armor...


Now I'd suggest making just 1 rule using the Any Slot Color req, and pair it with a String - Name = Heabrean req. Then let the dice role and see what you get. =)


They do care about it being Heabrean right?

Nope, they really wanted platemail armor, single slot of that color, but they asked for people to pick up any armor of that color. That's why I was asking for a rule that would pick up any piece of armor where I could just plug in a color I like from vtproperty dump.

I appreciate the help.

203A6D is Blue, not Red. And if they really want all pieces (aka:coverage) of all types (aka:styles) of armor, then try this:


Blue Armor Looter


0;1;7;14

3

2

22

32

58

109

10

0.1


If they want Red instead of Blue, find something that has a RGB HEX looking more like: 6D3A20 (but I wouldn't use that exact code, I made it up using your code)

Armor of this color


0;1;14;1
19
62
3
7
10
0.1
14
Platemail
1


So I added this to the profile. If I wanted it to just be a specific type of armor (platemail, amuli, etc) is that right?
