SND Saucy Integration

Saucy Integration for SND

This skill covers integration with the Saucy plugin for Gold Saucer mini-game automation.

Source: https://github.com/PunishXIV/Saucy

Status: Verified - Saucy has NO IPC API

CRITICAL INFORMATION

Saucy does NOT expose any IPC API for external control.

After reviewing the official Saucy repository source code:

• No IPC providers found
• No CallGate registrations
• No public API surface for inter-plugin communication
• Only user-facing interface is the /saucy command

What Saucy Actually Does

Saucy is a Gold Saucer mini-game automation plugin, NOT a fishing plugin.

Supported Games:

• Cuff-a-cur - Mini-game automation
• Triple Triad - Card game automation

Source Code Analysis:

• Repository: https://github.com/PunishXIV/Saucy
• Main plugin file: Saucy/Saucy.cs - No IPC exports
• Global config: Saucy/Global.cs - No CallGate setup
• Framework: Modular architecture via IModule interface

Integration from SND Macros

Since Saucy has no IPC API, you cannot control it programmatically from SND Lua scripts.

Available Control Methods

1. User Command Only

-- The only way to interact with Saucy
yield("/saucy")  -- Opens the Saucy UI

2. Plugin Detection

-- Check if Saucy is installed
if not HasPlugin("Saucy") then
    yield("/echo [Script] Saucy plugin not available")
    StopFlag = true
    return
end

What You CANNOT Do

Since there is no IPC API, you cannot:

• Start/stop mini-game automation programmatically
• Check if Saucy is currently running
• Configure Saucy settings from Lua
• Query mini-game state or results
• Trigger specific game automation

Recommended Alternatives for Automation

If you need fishing automation (which Saucy does NOT provide), consider:

AutoHook Plugin - Ocean fishing automation

• Repository: https://github.com/InitialDet/AutoHook
• Used in ocean fishing scripts (see Reference/FishingRaid_original.lua)
• Provides actual fishing automation

For Gold Saucer automation, Saucy must be:

• Configured manually via /saucy command
• Started by the user through the plugin UI
• Cannot be controlled from SND macros

Common Misconceptions

❌ INCORRECT Documentation (Previously in this skill)

-- THESE DO NOT EXIST - Saucy has no IPC API
IPC.Saucy.IsRunning()      -- DOES NOT EXIST
IPC.Saucy.StartFishing()   -- DOES NOT EXIST
IPC.Saucy.StopFishing()    -- DOES NOT EXIST

✅ CORRECT Usage

-- Only valid interaction with Saucy from SND
if HasPlugin("Saucy") then
    yield("/echo [Script] Saucy is available")
    yield("/echo [Script] Use /saucy command to configure")
end

Workflow Integration

Since Saucy cannot be controlled from macros, workflows requiring Gold Saucer mini-games must:

1. Manual Setup: User configures Saucy via /saucy UI
2. Manual Start: User starts mini-game automation manually
3. Script Waits: SND macro can wait for user confirmation
4. No Automation: Cannot automate mini-game start/stop

Example: Waiting for Manual Saucy Completion

-- Script acknowledges Saucy exists but cannot control it
if HasPlugin("Saucy") then
    yield("/echo [Script] Please start Saucy manually with /saucy")
    yield("/echo [Script] Type 'continue' in chat when done")

    -- Wait for user confirmation (manual pattern)
    -- Note: This requires custom chat monitoring implementation
end

Summary

• Saucy: Gold Saucer mini-game plugin (Cuff-a-cur, Triple Triad)
• No IPC API: Cannot be controlled from SND Lua scripts
• Manual Only: Configuration and start via /saucy command
• Not for Fishing: Use AutoHook for fishing automation
• Source Verified: Confirmed by reviewing official repository
