Well I feel as if this should of been hooked a long time ago, becasue it deals with so many different elements in the game, and can be used for so many different uses! I don't feel it's fair to users who don't have the knowledge of hooking it themselves by denying them a myriad of script possibilities, not to mention the time needed to update your script every revision update. Also by adding this hook, it could improve already functioning script, allowing the writers to do more specific actions, or dynamically checking info.

 

For people who don't know, Settings are essentially Player Variables, which can include anything from Quests, Farm Status, being poisoned, just pretty much dealing with your character. They are stored as int[] with about 2000 different fields, each field contains a int which is associated with a particular item in the game.

 

The possibility of hooking Settings:

(This was all gathered at once, while standing in Seers Bank, meaning no need to be close to check fields)

How would you hook them:

(Well I don't want to make your job that easy but...)

Revision #41

"playerSettings": {
     "fieldName": "c",
     "refactored": "playerSettings",
     "owner": "fn",
     "multiplier": 1
},

I would love to see this added, as long as a few other (isItemSelected(), getSelectedItem()), but I feel as this one could prove to be a huge improvement to the API!

client.getConfig(index)

It also says on the javadocs

int getConfig(int id)

Also known as varpbits or settings.

They're all the same thing, just a different (bad) name for it

Ahh thank you! The naming convention drives me crazy, well I purpose a change of name at least, getConfigs is unclear, I guess to even me :\

But thanks for clarifying that

settings is also a bad name for it :p

Variable permanent bits.

settings is also a bad name for it :p

I know, its just it seems more commonly known by other names. At least when I ask around, more people know about Settings opposed to when I ask them about Varps(Which I personally like to call them).

yeah, it's more known by that due to previous bots giving it those kind of names

Are they documented anywhere? When I had to use them for getting whether the data orbs were enabled or not, it took a while to figure out that the config int was actually a bit register from which I only needed a single bit
