Chart? What chart? There's a chart of colors? Where? You have a link?


The Coverage on the body rule is supposed to be a LessThan or Equal, you made it the same as the Extremities rule.


You can put an additional coverage requirement in the body rule to exclude hauberks by using != (NOT Equal) and the value: 15360


Have you tried dyeing a complete suit of platemail black yet? do you not like that shade of black this gives you?

If the shade is not to your liking then I understand using the rules the way you are. But if you like that shade then you can make things a lot easier on yourself by having 1 rule that loots girths based on belt color, and 1 rule that loots everything else by name regardless of color.


Like in my screen shots. Do you like that shade of black? Those suits were all dyed.

Oh wow. Thank you. That has a lot of colors in it for sure.

I don't know how correct that is, but it was the newest guide I could find on the DCS chart.

It's all about steps for me. I'm going to add the girth rule next, but wanted to make sure I had these right first. It's also the way that I learn.

There's nothing wrong with dying it, I just want to do it organically. I already found over six pieces in the few hours I've tried these rules, except for the body which was wrong. I picked a color that I like, that may also be dyed. Using these rules, I also picked a color you cannot dye, so that's the reason I'm making it more difficult that it needs to be in this case. In the future, I know I can get whatever color/armor I will like. I didn't want to try tailoring without knowing I could do that.

Thanks again. I'll see what I can do with the girth rule and post it next.

@PicaroLC

For the 33 rules you posted, I could not copy these 2 in. They failed. I don't know if it is me or the rules:

TWs
Heavy Axes Sgl-Strike

All the others I was able to paste into a new file.

It looks like you used 95% of max damage?

Hmm, I'm able to copy past both of those rules into VTCL, my profile and a new blank one. I also swaped VI's editor back in and tested (since i'm using Magnus', works there too. Try again? Watching where you start/end your selection...


And i wasn't doing any math in my rules, don't know if i'm 95% accross the board. Was pulling dmg numbers from the next lower wield tier. Like I said "My rules are not very picky about max anything. Use at your own risk!" hehe. As I start filling up on almost perfect weapons, I begin to adjust the rules to trim out the weak stuff.


P.S. If it still won't work for you, you could also download my entire loot profile from Virindi's site where she has the other Sample Loot Profiles.

Yes, if your after a shade of a color that dyeing won't provide, then you have good reason to go through that extra trouble.


Also, now that i think i understand more of what your doing, (using that "OneSimilarColor" requirement), My use of 262626 is only for the non-dyeable trim belt color slots of platemail. That same exact color code is not necessarily found in any of the other color slots of platemail.... nor any of my other color code findings that I mentioned earlier. Those were all focused on just the Belts of platemail. In all the pieces i've looted I don't recall a single time where the belt code matched any of the other codes on the same piece. I beleive the other codes pull from a entirely different collection of colors from those charts. Too bad those charts don't have more info like what slot of what style of what coverage armor they're found on.

Well, I guess that explains why I haven't found anything platemail since using those rules. Every piece was from the other rules I set up. I'll change it back to what I had. It drops like crazy for other armor types, hopefully it will for platemail It's actually a relief to know. I kept going over the rules thinking I messed something up. Anyway, thank you for the heads up.

@ those having issues with copy/paste with VTCL....


I think I have discovered what may be going on. I reproduced a failure to paste when I pointed the mouse at the line above the rule name and selected down to the end of the rule.


It appears that where the copy selection begins is the biggest requirement for a success or failure. Take great care to aim at the line with the rule name and not the line above it nor below it. I also found you don't have to get the entire name, I was able to paste a blank rule name by only selecting from the end of the rule name down to the next rule. So it must be only needing to have a name line (empty or not) followed by a blank line followed by the requirement data.


I have further found that it does not matter how much garbage you select at the end of the rule, or even if you select two or more complete rules at once, it will always only paste that first complete rule. So as long as you get the ending of that first rule, you should be good. If you stop before the true ending of the rule it will also fail. But at least here, if your in doubt, just select extra stuff from the next rule down since it appears to not matter.

I uploaded a new version of my sample loot profile. There were bugs in the non-covenant armor looting rules before.


I changed the following requirement:

Long Value Key Has Flags

Unenchantable

0


to:

String Value Match

Name

^((?!Covenant|Olthoi Helm|Olthoi Breastplate|Olthoi Girth|Olthoi Pauldrons|Olthoi Bracers|Olthoi Gauntlets|Olthoi Tassets|Olthoi Greaves|Olthoi Sollerets|Shield).)*$
