Finding my tool!

[KnitePrince1]

I am attempting to look at the EasyUO script for Cyberpopes mining radar, and not having an easy time of it...
Basically, I am trying to determine HOW the script locates mining tools. For instance, it wont allow you to use a gargy axe, or a Smithers protector, Which is fine, EXCEPT that it will not even allow you to mine if either of these things are in your pack. taking that one step further, I used an appearance deed on a Kryss that i could mine with when equipped, and now it will not allow that item to be in my pack, or even in my MULES pack if I have its pack open.. The Idea, is to have a Pickaxe equipped, so when mining it is swinging, and LOOKS like someone using a pickaxe.. without having it Explode every three minutes because the script is using the equipped digging tool instead of the high use one in the pack.
I hoped, I could find how EasyUO located digging tools, so i could simply disable the pickaxe, since I use a high use shovel to mine with. I have found many things, but nothing that would identify the digging tools or how they are located, so am seeking help from those of you who are more experienced..
I would appreciate any feedback on this!! Thanks!

It's the line:

Code: Select all

finditem WWF_TWF_QPF_NPF c

The four 3-letter thingies are item type codes, attached to specific item types in-game. QPF is the code for pickaxes, while TWF is for shovels. I assume NPF and WWF are for the sturdy kinds of those tools, respectively. So if you wanted to disable the use of pickaxes you can simply change the line to

Code: Select all

finditem WWF_TWF_NPF c

I am not sure about the item appearance change though. If I had to guess it is still counted as the original item (dagger changed to pickaxe should still be counted as a dagger and unusable for digging). As far as I know appearance change is just setting another set of graphical representations without changing the underlying mechanics. But I may be wrong, I never had contact with app change deeds.

ps. Item TYPE change deed *will* turn a dagger into a pickaxe, for all intents and purposes.

I am pretty sure, but could be wrong, that if you have a digging tool in your hand, you'd be required to use that tool while digging, first.
