EFF Stats & Advice v0.20, updated November 02nd, 2024
EFF Advice

Tracks total blocks, misses, and knockdowns of your wizard or witch EFF floater. Once installed, type "eff stats" to show your block-rate, or "eff reset" to reset the numbers to 0.

For wizards, type "eff check" for suggested shield weights at your bonus. Witches can use "gshg check" for an equivalent utensil suggestion (accuracy may vary for witch utensil suggestions!).

Also provides an easy means to hide, or show, the lines of text of a successful EFF shield block (to help reduce screen spam) with "eff hide" or "eff show".

Installation:
Download the zip file, extract somewhere sensible (such as your Discworld or Mushclient folder), and then "Add" the .xml within Mushclient's plugin window (from File->Plugins->Add).

Once installed, type "eff stats" to see any current on-going blockrates and knockdown rates, or "eff reset" to clear it. Type "eff suggest" for the plugin to advise you on shield-weights you could try to use for your defensive bonus.

Version History:
v0.20:
* With the addition of the new spell "LLEB", an extended syntax has been added to the "eff check" (or "eff suggest" or "eff recommend") command - you can now give an optional extra number from 1-1000, which will multiply all shield weights by that value, then calculate a suggested shield with that % of extra weight. For instance if you knew you could add 20% weight to a shield, you might do;
"eff check 20"
And be given shields your current defensive bonus could handle if they were made 20% heavier.
* Added new "black iron shield" as default suggestions between oval bronze shield, and three star shield.

v0.15:
* Addition of "eff help" to list all commands of the EFF helper (including eff hide, eff show, eff reset, eff stats, eff suggest, eff suggest witch).
* Addition of "eff version" command gives version info and date of current version.
v0.14:
* New witch utensil, coal scuttle, added in to the witch list of suggestions for floaters, filling a previous gap in witch defensive bonuses.
* As well as the old "gshg check" and "gshg suggest" for witch results, for the sake of simplicity you can now also "eff check witch" and "eff suggest witch" for witch results ("eff check" and "eff suggest" will return wizzard floater results).
v0.13:
* Changed triggers to support "absorb" and "absorbs" to cover all possible known floater names.
v0.12:
* Parsing of defensive bonus in "eff check" and "gshg check" now supports "options output skills=list".
* Removed forced-black backgrounds on plugin output texts.
v0.11:
* New giant turtle shell added from the SS Unsinkable missions.
v0.10:
* Two new shields and a new utensil added based on new Copperhead town items seen so far.
v0.08:
* Slightly changed output of shield recommendations. Users who also have the CowBar v3.00+ plugin will get clickable links to the item database, for suggested shields.
v0.07:
* A selection of witch utensils of various weights have been added to the plugin, and a new command "gshg check" can attempt some suggestions of utensils to try to float at various defensive bonuses.
v0.06:
* Weights and formulas updated due to game-change to shield weights (end result for shields to use per bonus still the same) - thanks to Aerralin for updating the values.
* Bone Shield added to the list (from Dave the Necromancer).
v0.05:
* New commands added - "eff hide" and "eff show", to have the plugin hide all lines from successful EFF shield swoops from your output, for easy spam reduction. Will not hide failed swoops or knockdowns.
* Minor optimisations - only saves stats to state file on plugin/client close, rather than every shield swoop.
v0.04:
* Minor optimisations to triggers, to reduce plugin overhead (by microseconds only, but it all adds up).
v0.03:
* Added ability to type "eff suggest" to get shield recommendations based on your defensive bonus.
v0.02:
* Supports witch floating objects.
* Better formatting of values.
v0.01:
* Initial Release.
