Destroy All Monsters

[Bale]

Destroy All Monsters 0.4.2 beta

This script is designed to fight monsters regardless of their type or your character's skills. If you want a script that can easily switch between killing huge ghouls and Feast of Boris monsters, then you've found it! It knows when monsters can be out-moxied and when to shieldbutt or cast spells.

The emphasis is on flexibility and speed of execution. There is already an excellent script that determines the optimal combination of spells to cast (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?5234-Spam-attack-and-save-servers&p=58624&viewfull=1#post58624), but it was too darn slow if you have all the skills in the game so I began work on this. This script is less optimal, but still reasonably smart.

I know that a lot of people expect me to produce fully realized and fool proof scripts. This is not one of those. This script is more of the "throw stuff against a wall and hope it sticks" variety. It is very solidly in beta and I appreciate constructive criticism from anyone who can help to make this script better. I don't expect this script to be perfect, but I do hope it becomes better.

This script makes heavy use of BatBrain. I'm not really interested in improving it in ways that move away from BatBrain. A secondary purpose of my writing this was to figure out how to make maximal use of BatBrain's power, so if I miss a BatBrain trick, please point it out and help me improve this script.

Please notice that the script starts out by calling SmartStasis. SmartStasis does many clever and important things. After that it will announce when DestroyAllMonsters attempts to kill the monster. Anything disagreeable that happens before this script announces "DestroyAllMonsters starts now!" is probably a SmartStasis bug so report it in that thread, not here.

This script requires the user to download the latest versions of the following scripts to the KoLmafia /script directory (http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=Mafia_directories). If you dislike clutter, you can create a subdirectory called /automation and put all four scripts in that directory. KoLmafia will automatically detect scripts in subdirectories of the /script directory.

Nice good to have a thread in which to discuss this.

I will most likely still use my own spamattack-script while in HC runs but in aftercore it is, as you say, way too slow taking 2-3 minutes per fight :)

Anythign I can do to help debug this one?

I am currently a level 30 TT with a melee weapon equipped (even though it is a whip so not very powerful). Current stats are 2628/1617/1634 if that matters and verbosity is currenlty on 7.

Edit, edit: Having attacked the darn thing manually I noticed that, as it says up there, it was a mine crab. Batbrain does not like attacking mine crabs so when DAM tried to do that nothing happened since that option wasn't available. I think you need special handling for mine crabs if you are going to get that to work. I tend to funksling two toy soldiers to kill them.

[kain]

ooh, I've been waiting for a thread for this for a while now. Are you going to add versioning?

[Bale]

I should probably add some nice vprint("",8) lines for debugging purposes. Right now all my debugging lines are in the code, but commented out in case I decide to enable them for some special purpose. Obviously that's less useful to people other than myself.

I see. BatBrain was trying to avert disaster. It will definitely require special handling to deal with them.

Yup.

[IceColdFever]

Not sure if this is by design, but Destroy All Monsters just used a yellow ray to kill a Knob Goblin Madam. Kind of a lame use of a yellow ray, but I guess if the purpose is to have DAM use the most likely method to successfully make a kill, then it completed it as it should. Just made me tear up a little when I realized my yellow ray was done for the day. :(

Holy crap! I have never seen that before!! Why the heck did BatBrain think that was a good option for killing? Technically this is a BatBrain bug, but I'll make darn sure that it doesn't happen again!

Fortunately it is easy to fix. I'll just add "skill 7082" the list of skill that are not ok. First post updated with the new version.

Versioning has also been added in this build.

[Theraze]

Any chance DAM can aim to finish fights in 25 rounds instead of 30? It's really depressing when it calculates out that, if their HP is exactly the right one, it can finish off the fight using spaghetti spear in 30 rounds. Problem is, with the 5% HP variance, it feels like more of these end in failure than success.

DestroyAllMonsters starts now! (using Spaghetti Spear -- killrounds: 30, dierounds: 69)Fully brimstoned pastamancer is apparently just enough to barely kill procrastination giants.

Suppose that may actually be a BatBrain request, since DAM is just using maxround from BB. I'll think through how I can best request it in a way that's more modular. :) But since HP always has that 5% variance, if you ever calculate out that you'll have exactly enough to kill them, that's almost a 50% chance for failure.

[Rinn]

I'd rather it always just assume the monster has that extra 5% hp.

[Theraze]

True... if BB just put the extra 5% on the monster when it was initializing, that would take care of it. But if it's reading the current HP, how does it track that there's always the extra 5% over what mafia is reporting?

I guess on round 1 you'd do something like:

extra_hp = monster_hp(last_monster())*0.05;
then add extra_hp to each calculation involving HP.

That sounds like a very good idea and not terribly hard to implement.

extra_hp = monster_hp(last_monster())*0.05;
then add extra_hp to each calculation involving HP.

That has definitely turned into a BatBrain discussion. That has little do with DAM, other than to discuss how to work around BatBrain's possible flaws. DAM does no HP calculation.

If a monster cannot be killed by round 25, abort and let the player deal with it.

[Catch-22]

I'd say it's more of a discussion as to the way KoLmafia represents a monsters known HP than a discussion on shortcomings of BatBrain.

I've created a pessimistic monsters.txt file, which multiplies all known HP values by 1.05, see the attached file.

Bale, any chance we can get the maxround abort as a variable at the top of the script, instead of a hard-coded "maxround - 5"?

I'm going to be experimenting with my pessimistic monsters.txt and skip the current fix. We'll see how things go :)

Edit: So parts of this monsters.txt aren't formatted correctly on monsters lacking a Defense stat (due to my laziness), KoLmafia seems smart enough to get around the formatting mistakes. I'll update this when I figure out a better way to edit the file en masse and post it again if anyone's interested.

[lostcalpolydude]

The 1.05 variance is capped at 5 HP I think. Can't really check from my phone.

[Bale]

Bale, any chance we can get the maxround abort as a variable at the top of the script, instead of a hard-coded "maxround - 5"?

How would you want that expressed, considering that not every fight is limited to 30 rounds? Several monsters let you go 50 rounds. Should the variable be failsafeRounds?

I only changed a few lines of code, but I believe it is a fundamental improvement in DAM's effectiveness. I hope that I'm not wrong.

First of all, I discarded use of the enqueueSafe() function. I no longer use the safeKill item, although it is still being reported. Now all monsters are killed with the enqueueDanger() function.

Next, I changed the sorting algorithm for opts. All attack skills are sorted according to this shockingly obvious algorithm:



int meatval(advevent a, int stun, float mdpr) {
int rnd = kill_rounds(a);
int cost = rnd * (a.mp * meatpermp + a.meat);
if(rnd> stun)
cost+= (rnd - stun) * mdpr * meatperhp;
return cost;
}

Honestly I don't know why I didn't just do that in the first place! It's so bloody obvious! It simply figures out how much mp an attack will cost you and how much damage you will receive. It then multiplies that number by the rounds that it will take to kill the monster with that attack. What could be simpler?

[Theraze]

Unfortunately, DAM 0.3 is failing to attack Procrastination Giants at all now...

Attacked, and killed in one hit:
You swat him on the knee, doing 240 (+10) damage. KERBLAM! WHAM! BAM! KAPOW! SMACK! ZAP! BARF! BONK! POW! SPLAT!

[Winterbay]

It does not attack Procrastination giants because it does not want to attract the annoying effect it can give you if you do, and so it falls back to other options which are apparently no good at the moment. I guess it could iterate down to a skill that will work for a low cost, but 0 is probably going to be hard to beat... (and leads you into SpamAttack's territory of being slowed down by too many options).

[Theraze]

0 is fine if it works. Using Weapon or Fettucini to one hit it would have been fine as well. Deciding that 0 is best value and then eliminating it and quitting is not optimal behaviour. :)

[fewyn]

Wow, this sounds awesome! Going to give a whirl soon.

[Catch-22]

How would you want that expressed, considering that not every fight is limited to 30 rounds? Several monsters let you go 50 rounds. Should the variable be failsafeRounds?

Yeah, basically so the hardcore testers like myself can set it to zero and entrust the full amount of rounds to DAM or for people who want to be a bit careful, you can allow a specified amount of rounds at the end. Maybe cushionRounds or safetyMargin, I dunno :)

[Bale]

Done. (Already added to my local copy.) Next time I update the version it will include a variable at the top called safetyMargin. I'm not making it a zlib variable, at least for now.

[Catch-22]

Thanks Bale :)

So I did a bit of reading (http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Monsters#Monster_Level_Variance) and as lostcalpolydude has said, the HP variance is sort of capped at 5.

Although "Variance has a triangular distribution (that is, you are much more likely to see 0 than -5 or 5)." seems to suggest that it should more often than not be a pretty good estimation of HP, which doesn't really explain Theraze's woes, perhaps she was just extraordinarily unlucky. If there's only a difference of 5hp at most, then you'd think it very unlikely that the battle would end exactly within that 1-4 HP remaining range. Perhaps DAM or BatBrain is just being too optimistic elsewhere and the ±5 HP is just a bit of a red herring.

In the example given, Spaghetti Spear (http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Spaghetti_Spear) is being used, the damage formula for this is 2-3 damage (my guess is 50/50 chance to deal 2 or 3 damage), bonus damage capped at +5, for a total of 7-8 damage. Even if we assume that Procrastination Giant has exactly 225HP you'd still have to deal 8 damage as often or more often than 7 damage each time you use Spaghetti Spear, so perhaps it's more that Theraze's troubles were the cause of optimistic damage prediction as opposed to monster HP variance.

Better noodling.


So much left to do regarding my recent abandonment of safe vs dangerous combats.

Plus I still have no good implementaton for deleveling. Anyone have any idea how deleveling should be implemented? It would make me happy if anyone had a good suggestion for that problem.

[Winterbay]

I guess the delevelling question is dependent on if you want it to go as fast as possible, or as cheaply as possible and so on. Do you have any base assumption that you want to be there as a start someone can build on?

[Bale]

Do you have any base assumption that you want to be there as a start someone can build on?

Just that it should delevel if that will enable you to hit with your basic attack and it will cost fewer mp than using attack skills. Obviously mistletoe should be accounted for.

At least that is what I do when I'm running a bit more ML than I can handle as a moxie class. I suspect that softcore people never delevel since the ML they can run is insane.

[Winterbay]

So, in a flow:
1) Calculate cost of killing with attack skill (without you getting spanked)
2) Calculate cost of delevelling to where you can hit the monster (also without you getting spanked)
3) Perform the cheapest option of the two

Not having looked intently at the current script I am guessing the first calculation is done somewhere already? That leaves doing the second step and then comparing it.
Should we use a short-list of delevelling skills/items or do we want to use all (which will slow down the calculation I guess)? I might take a look at it (I mean my spamattack is also lacking this functionality so...), if I find the time.

[Bale]

Not having looked intently at the current script I am guessing the first calculation is done somewhere already?

Nope. I don't do that calculation at all! :D

The wonder of BatBrain is that I don't have to do it! Okay, maybe that isn't something to be so proud about. Still, BatBrain has kept track of that so I can probably check adj.mp for the answer.

I've currently got an attempt at a function to delevel the enemy. It's called enqueuePlink(). I'm not proud at it, but it is in the script. It's very messy.

[StDoodle]

The "to delevel or not to delevel" question was what eventually made me give up on writing a combat script back in the day, so good luck! :p

There's no problem with it. You just need to define your target audience first and all others that use it do so on their own risk :)

[StDoodle]

Problem is, I had already defined my target audience as "people who want the script to run optimally." :p

[Winterbay]

Well, yes. Then you would have a somewhat bigger problem :)

[Crowther]

I had a couple problems yesterday, with yesterday's version.

The first involved Half-Eaten Brain. I was fighting zombie waltzers. Destroy chose to noodle, then spam stream of sauce. That worked great, except on two different occasions, I was hit with Half-Eaten Brain. Then stream of sauce stopped and attack was used instead. I couldn't hit and died quickly. I really should put an abort into my CCS after your script, but I think the script was still running. I think the macro was still running. I've got logs if that helps.

The second was with Quiet Healer. Stasis value was zero, Destroy took over and decided to sing until all rounds were used up. Obviously she's an odd monster (dierounds: 1260000).

All in all, this script (and batbrain) are really amazing. I hope someone can figure out a simple, nearly optimal deleveling scheme.

[Bale]

I've got logs if that helps.

Logs always help. "I think" makes me wonder.

This is a BatBrain bug. I reported it to zarqon in his thread. You can fix it pretty easily. For some reason zarqon thought that the Quiet Healer never attacks. You can remove that mistake by changing line 565 of BatBrain.ash to this:


if ($monster[naughty sorority nurse] == m) return 0; // these monsters have no attack

Logs always help. "I think" makes me wonder.Ha! Yeah, just didn't want to clutter things up if it was my fault, like me not remembering the nurse fix. ;)

Feed (http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Feed) would be a good addition for SmartStasis. It certainly falls under that purview. Zarqon, what do you think?

The other problem that you point out is also SS related since it happens after "Run SmartStasis" and before "DestroyAllMonsters starts now!" (The script never made it to DAM in your example.) I wonder why it thought that there was so much advantage to Stasising a Hobo. What familiar, effects did you have that might have granted your HP/MP/drops per round?

Fixed killing of slimes at the Convention Hall Lobby to get their vials of slime!

Note to self: Someone complained in a mail that it won't use Chilled Monkey Brains to stun and injure monster for 0mp. Figure out how to make that seem good to this program.

Note to others: Please post your comments in this thread, not my PMs!

[Theraze]

Problem with Chilled Monkey Brain is that it's a 50/50 stun. That means if you're using the stun to keep yourself alive, it's not as good as noodles or most guaranteed stuns...

[Bale]

Thanks. Not as awesome as my anonymous correspondent wanted me to believe. (I figure if he's too shy to post in the thread, he doesn't want me to broadcast his name? Maybe?)

[zanmatoer]

Not shy, but thanks for your consideration!

Only reason I didn't post is because I realise this is a case that won't come up very often. Almost no-one gets Chilled monkey as it's after World punch AND the challenge path is now over. Anyway, the wiki (http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Chilled_Monkey_Brain_Technique) doesn't think it's a 50/50 stun and neither does my testing. It's never failed to stun an enemy for me.

Assuming I'm not being an imbecile, shouldn't the code be similar to entangling noodles, except you know it's 1 round only?

Thanks!

[Donavin69]

Its obviously not a problem with destroy all monsters, but I'm not sure where to comment on it:

Mafia is recognizing the FOB monsters as hobo's (in hobo town square)

I'm not sure if it should be something resolved in Mafia, or if I need to just modify all of my CCS to do something specific with the holiday monsters.

I think the problem is that your "hobo" matches not only the monster "hobo" but also the area "hobopolis" which means that it will use that part as long as it thinks you are in that zone (which you obviously are with the FOB monsters). If you change [ hobo ] to [ Normal Hobo ] you should be fine I think.

Edit: Which of course means that you need a section for each elemental hobo as well if you don't want DAM to take care of those as well.

[Donavin69]

Moxious Maneuver wasn't even considered (it works fine)

[Theraze]

Ah... this is the part I was missing on why it wasn't a good continual choice:
Stuns for one round, first time only.So it works fine as a single stun, don't pick it as a continual attack though based on hoping for more stunning.

I was dying too frequently as a Pastamancer. It turns out that Entangling Noodles needed some tweaking. I tweaked it and stopped dying. :D

[Winterbay]

Isn't the n-dimensional horror immune to physical attacks? BatBrain returns 0 for attack on that monster so it's a bit confusing that DaM choose to attack.

[Bale]

This is a KoLmafia bug (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?6184-collapse-basement-monsters). (Lack of feature?) Mafia thought you were fighting a 5-dimensional horror, not an n-dimensional horror.

Despite having stats for basement monsters, mafia does not distinguish them so consult scripts will not work in the basement.

[morgad]

Thanks for the answer Bale :)
I will just run the Basement manually instead

Dave

[zarqon]

Yay you finally made your own DAM thread! :)

Your script choosing a yellow ray was not a BatBrain bug. The yellow ray kills monsters dead, and BatBrain accurately delivered that information to your script. Zombo's eye is likely to be preferred as well if it available, with no special handling for its usage limitations. It would not be useful for BatBrain to report other than the actual consequences of an action.

Re: deleveling. There are three reasons to delevel, so you'd probably also need three separate calculations: 1) You want to delevel a monster so it can't hit you, II) you want to delevel it so you can hit it, or c) you want to delevel it a little to reduce the overall cost of the combat if you can't one-shot or stun-kill it. I'd say the first -- also the easiest to implement -- happens more commonly, so even if you just add one out of three you'll be making people happy. I'd suggest making a calculation of the cost of the rounds a given action would take to delevel the monster to a safe point (fairly easy using the delevel parameter of m_dpr). From there all the calculations aren't too hard.

In case it helps, here's a little snippet from my fight.php override, which provides special macrofied links for deleveling skills (a is the advevent being displayed in the table):


res.append("<small><span style='color:gray' font-size:0.8em; font-weight:900>");
if (a.att != 0) {
int tillsafe;
if (monster_stat("att") > my_defstat() - 6) tillsafe = max(1,round((my_defstat() - monster_stat("att") - 6)/a.att));
if (tillsafe > 0) res.append("<form name=macro"+random(999999)+" style='display: inline' action=fight.php method=post><input type=hidden name=action value='macro'>"+

else res.append("<img src='images/itemimages/nicesword.gif' title='"+rnum(m_dpr(a.att,0)-m_dpr(0,0))+" DPR.' border=0 height=16 width=16>"+rnum(a.att)+" ");
}
if (a.def != 0) {
int tillhit;
if (monster_stat("def") > buffed_hit_stat() - 6) tillhit = max(1,round((buffed_hit_stat() - monster_stat("def") - 6)/a.def));

This is a KoLmafia bug (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?6184-collapse-basement-monsters)

Also this.

[Bale]

I'd suggest making a calculation of the cost of the rounds a given action would take to delevel the monster to a safe point (fairly easy using the delevel parameter of m_dpr). From there all the calculations aren't too hard.

Wait, what?! So you suggest testing multiples of the different deleveling skills until m_dpr() is safe? Or is there an easier way that I am completely missing?

[zarqon]

I was thinking you'd make your own function with which to sort opts, which would contain (among other things) something like this:


roundsofpain = max(1,round((my_defstat() - monster_stat("att") - 6)/a.att)) - 1;
float accumulatedpain;
for i from 1 to roundsofpain accumulatedpain += m_dpr(a.att*i,0);

When foreaching over the sorted list afterwards, if accumulatedpain > my_stat("hp"), it's not a valid option. Likewise if it's more than the total damage taken from just using your best survivable attack skill.

Perhaps better would be to use enqueue() and to_profit() since those have a lot of stuff built in. Something like:


float delevelprof;
while (my_defstat() - monster_stat("att") > 6) {
delevelprof += to_profit(a);
enqueue(a);
}
reset_queue();

And that would be your total cost/profit of deleveling the monster until safe using that action, including everything that BB knows about -- fewer calculations needed afterwards that way. You'd need a few more conditions in the while loop but that's a start anyway.

[Bale]

Could you explain exactly how to_profit() works and what it returns. I don't really understand it. I believe that the concept is to turn an action into a meat value, but what does that mean?

[zarqon]

It returns how profitable a given action is at this point in the combat (keeping in mind that "at this point" is at the end of the queue).

This includes stunning and blocking (25% chance of stunning a monster that normally deals 8 damage is a profit of 2 HP), meat cost, deleveling (the profit is the average HP you save by weakening the monster), mp and hp gain/cost, familiar actions, passive damage effects -- everything. It's along the same lines as what you posted in post #19, but much more thorough.

One caveat: to_profit() assesses the profitability of any action only for the rounds that the action is performed (in the event that you pass it a compound action like a disco combo). It is blind to any effects which outlast performing the action, since it cannot guess how many rounds the combat will last. So a multi-round stunner would not be seen as more profitable than a single-round stunner, likewise the profit of deleveling is simply the reduction in the monster's next attack (not the HP you save for the remainder of the combat). It does consider existing stuns however, so if your previous action was Noodles, a stunning action will not be seen as having any profit from its stun.

[Bale]

Thank you. That helps, a lot.

[Donavin69]

I keep having the issue of SmartStasis using Lasagna Bandages until I get beaten up, but I'll post over in the SS thread on that.

The current issue I'm having is in the basement, DAM thinks that against a 5th Dimension horror (Physical resist) that attacking with my weapon should be good enough. I typically will use love songs against most of the basement monsters. Is there a way to automate the usage of love songs, or should I keep manually doing it?

I typically will use love songs against most of the basement monsters. Is there a way to automate the usage of love songs, or should I keep manually doing it?

You can do a sepcific entry for the horror (or the entire basement should you be so inclined) in your CCS which says "use love song of ..., love song of ..." (replace ... with whatever love song you want to use).

[zarqon]

It's only consult scripts that don't work with basement monsters. Regular CCSs work fine.

The "beaten up by hobos" issue is probably because BB doesn't know about elemental hobos' special attacks. This line has been in m_event() for quite a while:


// TODO: add elemental hobo special attacks

I suppose I could ask again: does anyone have accurate info on how much damage they do, and how often? I added completely approximated "close enough" numbers for the normal hobos because once I was farming the town square and kept getting beaten up, but I never went in any of the other zones and so I didn't add anything for them.

[Bale]

zarqon just released new versions of BatMan and SmartStasis. Naturally they completely break this script, but never fear...

Download 0.3.2.0 beta from the first post.

Updated for compatibility with BatMan 1.12 and SmartStasis 3.8

[Magus_Prime]

With the new versions of Batbrain, SmartStasis, and Destroy All Monsters I had two combats in the Castle where Destroy All Monsters gave up. One combat was a Goth Giant and the other was a Possibility Giant. Here is what happened:

I had plenty of mana and HP when Destroy All Monsters gave up and once in the relay browser I was able to one-shot the monster.

I tried to continue in the castle with zlib verbosity set to 8 but the problem did not reoccur.

I got it to reoccur in the Haunted Bedroom with zlib verbosity set to 9. Here is what happened:

Totally reasonable time to kill the thing, but it doesn't seem reasonable to funksling the once and then single-use for the other rounds given that it was a zero cost action.

[Bale]

Sigh. Unfortunately BatBrain has a problem with ambidextrous funkslinging. I manually added in the option, but BatBrain has changed. Now it rebuilds the options after each enqueue so my work around got broken. I guess I'll have to fix my workaround until zarqon fixes funkslinging.

[roippi]

I don't think I've said it yet, but major thanks for maintaining this script. Is mighty useful.

[Bale]

You're welcome. I'm glad that people find it useful since I know it is absolutely full of flaws.

[Winterbay]

In case you're interested I've set up this little snippet to automatically use "Release the boots" if it's available and the monster I'm facing doesn't have the goal I'm currently after. It seems to be working fine (it even fired after I got the last goal item in a pickpocket attempt which was nice).



string special_action()
{
if(my_familiar() == $familiar[Stomping Boots] && get_property("bootsCharged") == "true" && m.phylum != $phylum[none] && has_goal(m) == 0) {
enqueue(get_action($skill[release the boots]));
return macro();
}
}

[Donavin69]

I know I have a bad singing voice, but today DAM thinks that I can sing the monsters in the castle to death:


Run SmartStasis! (0 profit to stasis with Sing -- low)
DestroyAllMonsters starts now! (0mp option Sing -- killrounds: 66, dierounds: 1300)
Round 2: Pawn69 executes a macro!
Round 2: Pawn69 casts SING!

this goes on for my 30 rounds, and then I have to manually kill the monster...

It seems to have started doing this with the new BatBrain update.

This character is a lvl 33 AT with no combat spell skills

[Donavin69]

Ok, after a few more times of this occurring with the procrastination giant, I finally went into the code for and simply 'removed' the check for the Procrastination Giant


boolean no_cunctatitis() {
return TRUE;
//m != $monster[Procrastination Giant] || weapon_type(equipped_item($slot[weapon])) == $stat[Moxie];
}

I have power nap, and would rather get the cunctatitis and remove it than not be able to complete the fight. I'm not sure if there is a good way to combat this problem. But clearly, picking a skill that calculates to 60 rounds to kill isn't a good skill...

[Bale]

Sigh.

No. No it isn't a good way to do that... Perhaps if the player has power nap and no good way to kill a procrastination giant then it should take the chance... sigh... I'd have to refactor a bit to even make that work sanely.

[Theraze]

Probably if the 'best' result is >maxrounds, exit, don't guarantee failure. :)

[bsander]

Is there a limit of one use per skill per fight? DAM only fires off a couple of pasta spells before switching to a failing attack strategy while I still have 200+MP (which is over 60%) left for spell usage. I even have the Feed skill which means most spells hardly cost me any MP after combat. Any thoughts?

Also, I noticed DAM mentions it starts twice during the same combat? Is that normal?

You've had the crap beaten out of you... attempting to find some more crap.

[Winterbay]

It is normal such that the first Macro ran out and thus a second round needed to be performed so it restarted. What is a bit odd is that it clearly states that stasising with the scepter is low on profit but it still does it for whatever reason.
Also, it decides to use "attack" even though you clearly can't hit the monster which is a bit odd isn't it?

[bsander]

Wait. I just noticed my CCS had an "attack with weapon" statement after the DAM consult. Could it be that DAM somehow ended (without notification) and the attack statement handled the fight from round 6 onward? Though if that is the case, it's still strange that DAM silently failed, right?

[Theraze]

Not so much... when it would have aborted with a message telling you that it couldn't figure out a good way to guarantee success and that you should be careful, it instead went to the guaranteed failure of attack with weapon. That's a you thing, not a DAM thing. :)

[bsander]

Thing is, I've seen that message many times over the last couple of weeks (since i started using DAM), with the same CCS, and it always aborted properly without switching to the weapon attack. Also, I don't see an actual abort message being printed in the combat log.

[zarqon]

BB-based scripts (should) use exclusively macros. Since all those attacks were not macro'd, and they also lack any other non-mafia print statements, it's safe to say that DAM was somehow done and mafia proceeded with your CCS from the then-current round number, which you had specified as "attack".

[Theraze]

Would it make sense for DAM to automatically recalculate stasis values after round 10 (or so) if using a meat-dropping familiar like the Cocoabo, Mimic, Fuzzy Dice, Hipster, or NZPR? Since their meat stasis value goes to 0 there, there's no sense in hoping to get more meat for 15 more rounds... HP/MP is still valid, but...

[zarqon]

BB already caps familiar meat profit on the high end at 0 after round 10.

I was thinking about seeing it. Right before the song copyrights? Sure... Is this going to go by quickly or is it obvious?

[zarqon]

It's pretty obvious if you're looking. I chortled.

[StDoodle]

Thanks for the heads-up, the wife and I are seeing that on Xmas. </offtopic>

[Winterbay]

Also Bale, if perchance you take in the new Sherlock Holmes movie, stay for the closing credits, then pay close attention towards the end, just before they show all the song copyrights.

I've never understood people that doesn't do that. I quite like looking at the closing credits especially to get to the song thingies since I often will wonder what one of them were.

[Bale]

Thanks for telling me to pay attention to the credits there. I was wondering if I'd spot this strange thing you were referring to. No worries though, there's no way I could miss that! I laughed from the amusing surprise.

[zarqon]

I think you can now verify that none of our posts (including StDoodle's) were off topic. :)

[maximillian the red]

will this, or will anything else, handle releasing the boots when it's available? or would that need to be added to a CCS somewhere?

[zarqon]

I believe that would probably be appropriate for SS to handle in custom actions. I'll make a post about it over there.

[garbled]

I'm having a wierd problem with this script. For no apparent reason, it just gives up in combat.

Why does it just give up?

Actually, examining a few more failures.. It seems to give up 100% of the time if the first fearful doesn't kill the mob. Shouldn't it just cast it again? no?

[garbled]

So, one of the problems I've noticed, is that it will sometimes pick Volcanometeor, when I don't have any volcanic ash in inventory. This leads to it automatically bailing out after doing absolutely nothing. (I don't have any ash in inventory, because it just kept picking volcano for really easy fights over and over, and used like 30 of them before I caught it and closeted them all). Given my preference, I would rather it picked some big "bomb" attack, like geyser, and just spammed that at the end if things get hairy.

[Winterbay]

If you have no ash BatBrain should mark that skill as unavailable. At least it's coded that way...

[garbled]

I'm at least assuming that was what was going on. Occasionally it would enter DAM, do absolutely nothing, then enter it again, then give up. I'm guessing that prior to that, those were the combats where it was using up all my ash.

[Theraze]

This is a bit odd, but... noticed today that DAM was using options that guaranteed failure for some reason:
DestroyAllMonsters starts now! (0mp option spectre scepter -- killrounds: 90, dierounds: 154)With a 35 pound purse rat as my familiar, not sure why it would be guaranteeing failure. Don't think there's a single fight in the game that will work with 90 rounds... Is this one of those cases where I need a 9 verbosity log-dump, or is this just because, when looking at crippling failure, it will take the best of a bad selection that at least does damage?

[StDoodle]

I thought DAM just listed the cheapest option for reference, not actually used it unless it worked ok.

[Winterbay]

I thought DAM just listed the cheapest option for reference, not actually used it unless it worked ok.

That is indeed how I thought it worked as well.

[Theraze]

Well, it followed that up with 29 rounds of using the scepter, giving me one round to try to do 200+ damage as a no-combat-skill AT. Rather depressing.

[maximillian the red]

I'm using DAM as my consult script and I'm in the middle of the giant castle quest (using bumcheekascend) and it just olfacted a goth giant when my only remaining goal is a giant needle. I assume this is not DAM, but maybe SmartStasis or BatBrain but I'm not entirely sure how to tell which is why i'm mentioning it here. Is there a setting to have goth giant only olfact in aftercore, or to tell the suite of scripts to olfact based on goals (ie: sniff a raver giant in this case since my only goal is a giant needle?)

[slyz]

SmartStasis will always olfact if:

1) The monster drops the bounty item you are currently hunting
2) The monster is in your ftf_olfact zlib variable
3) Mafia would have decided to olfact the monster as a 'special action' because of the way autoOlfact has been set.

This means that you should remove goth giants from your ftf_olfact zlib variable, and you (or, in this case, BCCAscend) should do something like "set autoOlfact = goals" once you have only one goal left.

[maximillian the red]

This means that you should remove goth giants from your ftf_olfact zlib variable

thats kind of what i figured, but then it's not there for aftercore where i would want it. it almost seems like there could/should be a distinction drawn between monsters you'd want to olfact in run and those out of run. for another example i'd always want to olfact dairy goats in run, but probably not outside of a run. vice versa for goth giants.

[Theraze]

So add that logic into your Between Battle Script.

[slyz]

The removal/addition can happen in your postAscensionScript and your kingLiberatedScript.

[Theraze]

That would also make sense. :) Probably more, since it only checks once and does the change exactly when he wants it.

[maximillian the red]

i'll see if i can figure that out. how does one change a zlib variable inside of a postascention or kingliberated script assuming i can figure out what/if i use.

[Theraze]

Similar to this, pasted from my preAscension script for setting up the next 100% familiar run:
import <zlib.ash>

void next_familiar() {
vars["is_100_run"] = normalized(my_familiar(),"familiar");
updatevars();
}

[slyz]

Or just do


cli_execute( "zlib ftf_olfact = zlib ftf_olfact = Blooper, Dairy Goat, Shaky Clown, Some Zombie Waltzers, Goth Giant, Knott Yeti, Violent Fungus, Spectral Jellyfish, Gnarly Gnome, Gnasty Gnome, Fruit Golem, Quantum Mechanic, C. H. U. M., Rotund Duck, Pufferfish, Wealthy Pirate, Skeletal Sommelier, Endless Conference Call" );

[maximillian the red]

thanks very much for the assist guys. appreciate it.

That was DAM. As it said, DestroyAllMonsters starts now. It just didn't think that NSN healed themselves, so that Sing was a valid attack mechanism...

[Bale]

Yeah, that version of DAM has a problem with low damage attacks. I'll update a more recent version. It works betterer. Mostly. Still has some problems though.

[Bale]

Sounds like SmartStasis is making the decision that it can gain more by letting your stocking mimic restore hp/mp and kill the monster for you.

As you noted, it never moves on from SS to DAM because SS is happy. If you see a problem with this, please report to SS since this is not related to DAM. You say it usually kills the monster like this, so SS probably isn't very wrong although it should give up a few rounds earlier just in case.

Here's a guess... had you consumed bazookafish gum, making the shark flip out? If so, mafia is unaware of flipped out monsters and the fact they have higher stats, and so any 'intelligent' consult script is going to fail...

Why isn't the copy showing that the shark took damage? I didn't think that was toggleable, but I may be wrong :)

Heh, in best complaining luser style I am of course prepared to deny that I have ever fiddled with any settings, just dumped the script in /scripts and stuck it in a CCS. And I've been using the previous version without any similar issues for a week or two, and this happened immediately after I replaced it with 0.3.3.0 on getting the update nag messages.

This is a level 15 after core char decked out with plenty of goodies.

are moar details needed?

[Theraze]

I believe it's because DAM is hoping to finish the fight using your familiar, which failed to complete. New DAM appears to punt if it doesn't complete in the expected rounds, instead of recalculating, to help you be able to figure out what exactly went wrong... but it means that when the low combat is supposed to finish, it has a tendency to fail.

[charred]

DAM used 2 torpedos and a frigid ninja star today in a fight when i needed them for my telescope :(

[Theraze]

So... closet them if you know you need them? Or can DAM and/or BatBrain be aware of the telescope1-7 values?

[Bale]

I just made a quick fix for the problem and ensured it won't happen again simply by refusing to use a non-reusable item unless you have 2 of them when you are in ronin/hardcore. This will stop DAM from using your last item of a type, even when you don't need them for the telescope, but that might not be a bad thing.

First post updated with the new version.



Or can DAM and/or BatBrain be aware of the telescope1-7 values?

Shouldn't be too troublesome... whipped this up in a few minutes. Should work, but then again, not having gotten any telescopes yet, I have no good way to test it. :) Anyways, this goes into the boolean ok section, in aid.find, just before the switch. I included both the find and switch to give it boundaries. Just says that if an available item is a telescope item and you only have 1 left, skip it.
if(aid.find())
if (get_property("telescopeUpgrades").to_int() > 0) {
for tUpgrades from 1 to get_property("telescopeUpgrades").to_int() if (aid.group(1).equals("use") && aid.group(2) == get_property("telescope"+tUpgrades).to_int() && available_amount(aid.group(2).to_item()) == 1)
return false
}
switch(aid.group(1)+aid.group(2)) {

[charred]

bale, youre awesome. i wasnt upset. love your scripts!

[Bale]

Thank you.



Shouldn't be too troublesome... whipped this up in a few minutes.

You are confused. That will not work at all. If you had a telescope you'd know that the value of telescope3 is not "fancy bath salts", but "see a slimy eyestalk" so I'd need to write a lookup function to convert the later into the former. That's the troublesome part, though I can crib that from my campground.ash so it wouldn't be too hard.

Anyway, it might be for the best to stop the script from automatically expending anything you only have 1 of, so I'm not likely to "fix" this.

[Theraze]

Ah... sorry. Yeah, not having a telescope, I have no clue what mafia saves to its preferences. I suppose I should probably have ripped into the code, but... meh. Found out I didn't get a job I wanted today, so I'm feeling lazy-ish. :)

Looked and TelescopeCommand is where all that lives. Is it worth requesting that SorceressLairManager.findGateByDescription, SorceressLairManager.gateName, SorceressLairManager.gateEffect, SorceressLairManager.findGuardianByDescription, and SorceressLairManager.guardianItem actually get exposed so we don't need to keep static lists, or... are static lists good enough?

Yeah... it means that SmartStasis tried to stasis for too long for DAM to come up with a guaranteed safe solution. Unfortunately. The only real fix, currently, is to manually edit your SmartStasis script to abort and hand control back to DAM sooner, but...

Often, it's related to the bug where, despite reaching full health/mana and being beyond round 10 so that the only benefit to stasis is a minor damaging of the enemy, SmartStasis likes to continue onwards. All of this is, however, related to SS, not DAM. So you're likely to get better results on that thread... :)

[Bale]

I'm aware of the problem and you're correct about the cause. I've been giving the solution some thought, but so far I haven't come up with any potential answers other than asking zarqon for new BatBrain features or working outside of BatBrain since it won't do much if it is convinced the monsters has no HP.

[Theraze]

Since someone said the maximum swing is +-5, any chance DAM can try to overkill all monsters to -5 hp?

[chown]

Hmm. That explanation sounds good, but I'm not 100% convinced. It looks like I neglected to copy the last bit of the battle, but all I had to do to finish the battle was attack a single time! Other cases aren't always that extreme, but generally the combat can be completed with a small number of attack-with-weapons. So, although I can definitely believe that SS ought to have stopped earlier, I'm still surprised that DAM was unable to figure out how to finish the battle in 5 rounds.

[Bale]

Since someone said the maximum swing is +-5, any chance DAM can try to overkill all monsters to -5 hp?

BatBrain actually makes that hard for me to do. You could say it is too helpful so I'd need to work with less help from it.

[Winterbay]

You could loop until you have a win I guess because if the monster is still alive after the run it probably have quite little health left and as such a small trivial skill may be able to kill it (WHAM usually finishes the monster off in such cases by toss or salsaball or something similar).

[Theraze]

Yeah... my only request there is that hopefully DAM would request something that actually overkills, because especially in the case of casters, I've repeatedly died when it thought it could finish things off using spaghetti spear because it was free and would just finish things off, and it ends up being JUST a tiny bit too little. I'd much rather have ravioli and stream as the go-to spells over spaghetti and salsaball, if I'm not in any sort of meatflow/manaflow problem.

[garbled]

Yeah, I would prefer that when DAM gets to the point where it's going to give up, it instead just start spamming big attacks. My char has saucegeyser, fearful fettucini, etc. Why not just start bombing those until combat ends? I like using DAM in automation, but it sucks if occasionally it gives up an easily winnable combat and I have to fix it. (especially if it's running on a day when I'm not home, and can't fix it)

[Theraze]

Well, when it stops, my current strategy is a "use_skill ravioli" or something similar. Love that use_skill alias.

[alexsqian]

DAM seems to like using saucegeyser a lot, even when it's perfectly safe to just regularly attack.

DestroyAllMonsters starts now! (0mp option attack -- killrounds: 3, dierounds: 237)
Destroy with: Saucegeyser
Destroy with: Saucegeyser
Any way around this? Other than lowering your mp threshold to around 10%

EDIT: Oh, actually, the next few monsters it fought it attacked normally. And then it went to Saucegeyser again for a couple monsters.

[Winterbay]

What monster was it? Were you perhaps in the Giant's castle? If so DAM will avoid using attack on the giant that gives you that annoying cuncatitis-effect.

[Theraze]

Just a quick note regarding using DAM with Boris: You'll probably want to add Mighty Axing and Cleave (11000 and 11001) to the Cunctatitis avoidance. Makes the Giant Castle ever-so-much less frustrating. :)

[Bale]

Does this script actually work in BorisCore? I honestly haven't tried since so many of the skills have unspaded to-hit bonuses.

[Theraze]

Works decently well, especially if you end up getting Belch and Cleave. It doesn't use Broadside often (ever?), since that's more similar to noodles which gets special handling, but for spaded monsters (which could read, not Mountain Men, which are spaded but not in mafia yet because Darzil's post got lost in the shuffle), it does decent. Not as good as manual, but it gets the job done.

[Winterbay]

WHAM is sort of modified for AoB support. When it comes to Broadside I've had WHAM use it when SS needs to stun before IDing things and changed the code to the entangling-noodles stuff in SS to:


if (round < maxround && !is_our_huckleberry() && (get_action($skill[entangling noodles]).stun > 0 || get_action($skill[broadside]).stun > 0) &&
m_dpr(0,0)*2*meatperhp > mp_cost($skill[entangling noodles])*meatpermp)
{
if(have_skill($skill[entangling noodles]))
{
macro(get_action($skill[entangling noodles]));
}
else
{
macro(get_action($skill[broadside]));
}

}

[zarqon]

The beta release of the new BB accounts for as much as it can at the moment, and I'm seeing mostly useful results in my current Trustycore run. Its use (or lack thereof) of Broadside is its biggest failing at the moment, since BB is still not particularly useful for predicting combinations of actions without adding them to the queue to do so. I'm going to give Winterbay's code a try.

[Winterbay]

It basically says that if you would've used Noodles and have Broadside, use that which seemed to work fine last round when I had Broadside. Doing a more song oriented run this time so have not got that skill now :)

[Crowther]

Works decently well, especially if you end up getting Belch and Cleave. It doesn't use Broadside often (ever?), since that's more similar to noodles which gets special handling, but for spaded monsters (which could read, not Mountain Men, which are spaded but not in mafia yet because Darzil's post got lost in the shuffle), it does decent. Not as good as manual, but it gets the job done."Decently well" has been my experience too. A few times it under hit, using the zero-MP skill, when bellow would have been better (pirates?) and a few times it said I couldn't defeat the monster when bellow-cleave was available and that combination massively over killed the monster. Basically, I let DAM go until it fails, then switch to a fixed CCS for a while, then back later. I'd say I was running DAM at least 95% of the time. It does better than I would, because I'm seriously lazy about clicking.

[Crowther]

Ha! I messed up my setup, and well, it seems I can't play "decently well" as Boris without DAM. DAM and SmartStasis are impressive even there.
I made a bunch of mistakes and now understand that knowing exactly when to use intimidating bellow is tough to calculate. For example I wasted a lot of meat on healing today. Lots.

[Weatherboy]

How would I go about adding special handing to DAM? Say, I wanted to set up a condition where if I have a star chart for each star item still in goals, I want to banish the astronomer? ;) Or, basically, any monster that doesn't drop a goal up to 3 per location, cuz, well, that's the way I'm rolling with Banishing Shout. :D

[Bale]

It's just a warning that mafia will eventually become less tolerant of certain coding practices. I suppose I'll at least update the script not to get those warning before it becomes a problem.

[FortyCakes]

Is there a fallback of "cast Wave of Sauce" anywhere? I keep seeing DAM try to cast Wave although I don't have it; this seems to only occur when DAM has left a fight that it could easily win (e.g. monster has ~5% hp left and I have enough mana for Weapon of the Pastalord) with the message

I was gonna tell you that. I don't know how many times I have forgotten to change my CCS when I switch between classes on Ascension so at least you know you are not alone ;-)

[Weatherboy]

I noticed that DAM wasn't removing Bifurcating Blow from the queue during the cooldown timer. There is an associated effect, Foe-Splattered, lasts 20 turns, but reported can be soft-greened/hot tubbed away.

[Bale]

I think that should be reported in the BatBrain thread. It shouldn't provide Bifurcating Blow as an opt if you are Foe-Splattered.

[zarqon]

Got it -- will add that to the upcoming BB update (out today I hope).

[kain]

With the new BB/SS updates, I'm getting:

[Bale]

Script is updated for current version of BB/SS. Thanks to a new SS feature it now attempts to kill the monster in a single macro submission to save page loads. As a result there is no longer a clear division between SS and DAM. It now announces all DAM decided actions before submitting the macro, everything else is SS's fault.

This script needs so much work to take advantage of new BatBrain features! I really wish I had the time for that right now, but I do not. Once I have the spare time I will make this script wonderful.

[Theraze]

Regarding DAM giving up on easily winnable fights as per above, I find part of the problem is objects like the spectre scepter, which have a 50/50 chance of causing damage, but the other actions are considered to be profit. However, there's a 50% chance when using them of being hit, which isn't considered in the cost benefit analysis by BatBrain (or maybe it is, and DAM picks it anyways, not sure). But yes, if you get hit, it will hurt more than the paltry healing or delevel will benefit you.

Solution? Closet your spectre sceptre. Maybe closet your gnomitronic hyperspatial demodulator, if you have one and it keeps getting picked. Once the 0 mana minimal damage items were closetted, DAM moved on from flinging the scepter to using Mighty Axing (I'm in an AoB run) to mightily overkill the enemy, but also giving me some extra muscle substats, which is nice.

Is this a DAM bug or a BB bug? Probably. :) I'd guess that it's BB's fault for not considering that, if the damage fails or isn't quite enough, I'm taking a full hit. But DAM is the one that picks spaghetti spears and gets my casters killed, so it might fall under the DAM bug-side. Eh.

[Bale]

Just updated version 0.3.5.1 with support for intelligent bellowing to be a better Avatar of Boris.

Theraze, the new version will never again try to kill a monster with your spectre scepter so you can stop worrying about keeping it in your closet. Please tell me more about how you die while using spaghetti spear.

[Theraze]

Awesome! I can remove those from the closets, since all my characters closetted their scepters after that post. :)

When spaghetti spear killed me, it was because DAM believed that BB was telling it accurately how many HP the monster had and it was actually a TINY bit healthier, so while DAM exactly 'killed' the monster, the monster was strong enough to kill me in actual fact. :)

Edit: Something odd with the new 0.3.5.1 version:
You acquire an item: Knob Goblin pants

[Bale]

It would have known that the fight was finished if finished() returned true, so I guess it counts as a batbrain bug. I could work around it though if I had the text for escaping from a clingy pirate.

[Bale]

It is supported. If it didn't say "Destroy will attempt to use Saucesplashing" then it didn't believe that it would work. That could be caused by a number of things, but is mostly likely because your bonus spell damage is less than +25.

[Bale]

version 0.4

This is an important update! I'm finally making real use of BatBrain's predictive abilities to compare and contrast different strategies. It should even figure out if the MP cost for using Broadside is worthwhile to keep from being hit.

Also, I am forcing Boris to use Mighty Axing instead of Attack to workaround a currently existing bug in BatBrain.

Please let me know if it is working well.

Edit: One thing to note is that DAM is no longer distinguishing between actions it chooses and actions SS chooses, so I'll just deal with the increased influx of confusing bug reports. The two things are just too tightly entwined now.

[Theraze]

Haven't checked, but does DAM 0.4 have awareness that attack is better than Mighty Axing on the Bonerdagon and NS, due to not being blocked?

Edit: Unrelated to above, but... might want to increase the SS function's stasis safe round amount. I was finding that with relatively weak enemies, it would stasis until round 25 or 26, because I could kill the mob in a single round... however, DAM aborts if you have less than 5 rounds remaining. Easiest fix would be setting the round - 3 to round - 5 or so, to guarantee at least a single round. Personally though, I turn it to round - 15. :) Once I've got the meat, I don't really care about stasis-ing to make up the MP I'm spending stasis-ing. It just seems rather stupid to keep using saucy salve when I have full health and full mp just to try to get back up to full health and mp.

[Bale]

I thought I had successfully tested it on Pirates... sigh.

Actually, I just copy/pasted that "maxround - 3" from SmartStasis so it is exactly the same! I should probably change that to "maxround - safetyMargin" like everything else in DAM. Just for consistency.

[zanmatoer]

Got an issue: adventuring without Trusty equipped so I can use a Frosty Halo, but Mighty Axing doesn't work if Trusty isn't equipped. This means DAM (and WHAM, actually) try to use Mighty Axing repeatedly even though it's doing nothing.

Maybe add in another exception to your "force Boris to use Mighty Axing instead of Attack" rule?

Item bug does still appear to be around, unfortunately.Any chance custom actions are being displayed when it's speculating, not just when they're selected as the final action?

That's because your verbosity is turned up. Assuming you're talking about the first section.

[Theraze]

Verbosity is only set to 5, which gives minimal additional debugging information. Normally. Things like estimated profit per round, the fact you don't have any stasis items, and... that's it, according to what I see added between default (3) and mine (5) in my copy of DAM.

Looks like the issue is that you're repeatedly calling enqueue_custom() instead of calling it once, as happened before DAM 0.4, and every time you call that, it gives the full list of custom actions that WILL happen.

The only spot where... hmm... looks almost like that's backwards in SS. I'll query it there, but... basically, before DAM 0.4, I don't think anything would repeatedly call enqueue_custom as a speculative consideration.

Edit: My current fix is copying the enqueue_custom function from SS into DAM, renaming it to enqueue_custom_dam, and removing the vprint line completely, since I have no way of knowing which of the 4 versions of EC will actually get called, making it a useless report. Removes the incorrect custom-promise, at least.

You're on your own, partner.


I have the latest versions of DAM, BB and so on, and the latest .jar. I'm not having issues in other zones, just in using the rat tap.

[slyz]

Try erasing the batfactors file, to force it to be updated.

[Theraze]

I get the same error. It happens with specific monsters throughout the world, I reported it back on post 727 in the BatBrain thread (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?6445-BatBrain-a-central-nervous-system-for-consult-scripts&p=73725&viewfull=1#post73725), but it hasn't met with any response. It happens for specific monsters in the world, the monsters themselves might vary depending on the day (but remain consistent that day), and will always happen when that monster is regardless of character. However, the specific number varies sometimes for different monsters... the Knob Goblin Madam might be -6, but Cubist Bulls might be -7. To throw out example monsters without being sure they actually cause specific error. :)

But updating batfactors didn't help.

[xKiv]

Could that E-# come from a badly converted floating point number? (i.e. 0.00000001 = 1E-8)
Hard to tell, since the error doesn't display the entire expression (and offset) for context.

[Theraze]

Looks possible...
> ash (0.000001)

Returned: 1.0E-6But without the whole expression, it's really hard to guess...

[Magus_Prime]

I keep forgetting to report this and it only seems to happen with Goth Music Students in the Haunted Conservatory. I haven't had a chance to track it down to where it's happening yet either (scriptwise)

Is there any chance you could make the script always save at least 1 of possible tower items (eg photoprotoneutron torpedoes)?

[Theraze]

That's actually a BatBrain change that zarqon already has planned, not something that Bale needs to add to DAM.

And Magus_Prime, that's the same large-number bug that's actually a BatBrain bug, not a DAM bug (due to it using modifier_eval, which zarqon uses repeatedly but Bale doesn't... specifically, zarqon has an 'eval' function that gets called a LOT in BB), reported and talked through in posts 206-210. Yours was 211, and reported the same thing...

[Bale]

Is there any chance you could make the script always save at least 1 of possible tower items (eg photoprotoneutron torpedoes)?

The feature already exists. It actually saves 1 of every item, just in case.
