Bitburner – All-In-One 3GB: Gang Script with HUD

This is a 500+ line, all-in-one Gang script that I created. Here are the main features

 

• Only 3 GB memory footprint
• SINGLE script contained (no additional scripts necessary)
• All Gang actions handled (comment me to get more details).
• Great HUD to quickly see the status of gang stuff
• Assists with recruitment, ascension, and other tasks
• Automated Equipment Purchases with a Budget
• Territorial warfare is handled using custom parameters
• You can make your play-style completely customizable

The comments should make it clear how the code works. You can also see the DEBUG lines in the comments. Feel free to delete them. All comments are welcome

Introduction

To maintain a 3.0 GB memory footprint, the latest update uses external script-running code (adapted by Alain Bryden). Gang Ops can now be run quickly!

 

* Gang members are automatically named from 0 to 11. This is for ease of programming, reference, and listing. However, you can program in custom names if desired.

* I have also tried the concept of

‘ranks’

 

It allows you to determine when your members should ascend. This is done by tracking their stats levels (even after factoring).

* Warfare can be managed automatically and will stop when territory reaches 100 percent (don’t underestimate warfare, as the cashflow gains are very exponential).

*

 

There are many theories, discussions, and ideas about how to manage gang members

. I hope you find the code useful and flexible enough to allow you to customize it.

Log Window can be used to view the current events in a small HUD. You don’t have to scroll through Gang menus all the time. The log HUD can be minimized and moved to the corner of your screen when it is not being used.

 

Personally, I like to keep the log window that covers the Health status line (as it isn’t important, healing costs scale linearly). You can expand it whenever you need it.

 

The HUD displays:

 

1. Each

member number

What and how?

 

current task

They are engaged in

2.

 

Member stats

For Strength, Defense, Dexterity and Agility. Ascension rank

3. #

 

Times looped

,

Buy stuff setting

 

, $

Money spent on equipment

,

 

Current money

4.

Minimum money setting

 

,

,

 

Needed level

5. W

Penalty percentage

 

, Wan/Resp:

Respect ratio

6.

Conclusion

As time passes, I will be updating the script. Already, I have received some comments about some of the things that may not be optimal. Feel free to comment and cannibalize my code for your own scripts or functions!

We wish you a lot of success and a warm welcome!
