Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

[Winterbay]

WHAM 2.4

This script is a developed version of the SpamAttack script that exists in this forum in several different places. It is a somewhat robust way to handle most monsters (and those it can't handle it'll tell you and potentially also print some nice helpful info for, requires a verbosity of at least 3).

The script tries to calculate the cheapest way to kill the monster by smart use of your skills and items. As such the script is pretty calcuation heavy and may take a few seconds to run. The recent update to 2.0 has sped up the script immensly when having access to lots of skills and items and it is thus a usable solution for sub-optimal gameplay of any kind. Since this update was rather big, I may have broken something so just in case 1.9.6 is still downloadable as well.

This script also relies heavily on vprint() and the output is regulated with Zlib's verbosity-setting and it is possible to get it to output nothing with useful info starting at a verbosity level of 3. If you set the verbosity to 10 the script will
a) Print information regarding all the skills and items it thinks you have available and the amount of damage your might do with them
b) Output a bunch of text-files to your /data folder for debugging purposes and
c) Abort execution before it actually does anything with the monster

Please post feedback and suggestions since I'm always interested in making the script more useful.

In order for the script to run properly you will need the following support scripts:
Zlib (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?2072-ZLib-Zarqon-s-useful-function-library)
BatBrain (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?6445-BatBrain-a-central-nervous-system-for-consult-scripts)
SmartStasis (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?1715-SmartStasis-a-complex-script-for-a-simple-CCS)


You also need to set your Combat Action to "custom combat script" and create an entry containing:


[ default ]
consult WHAM.ash


In case you want to you can also finetune a couple of things in the script:
1) The amount of rounds you're willing to attack as a non-moxie class (defaults to 10)
2) The hitchance you are willing to risk (defaults to 50%)
3) The max number of rounds you are willing to let the script automate skill-slinging before it reverts control to you (defaults to 50)
In order to change them use commands like this in the CLI:


zlib WHAM_round_limit = <wanted number>
zlib WHAM_hitchance = <wanted fraction>
zlib WHAM_maxround = <wanted number>


Since these numbers are set upon first execution it is advisable to run the script from the script-menu once before entering combat if you want to change them. If you do so, you can abort at the first pop-up (or set verbosity to 10 teh first time).

Version History
1.0: Initial public release
1.1: Change all printouts to WHAM, Lower the verbosity requirement for printing useful info to 3
1.2: Add has_happened() to work around happened() being off by one turn if SmartStasis ended the fight before we got there
1.3: Remove has_happened and use round > maxround instead.
Make sure the script aborts if you acquire temporary amnesia.
Make sure we don't automate queued skills longer than the user specified maxround (defaults to 50)
1.3.1: Add a parenthesis so the script won't crash when it shouldn't...
1.4: Set the unknown_ml for specific monsters in the Cyrpt in order to be able to handle them sanely in case of high
unknown_ml
1.5: Make sure to reset the unknown_ml-value no matter how we exit the script (unless the user aborts manually)
You can always perform at least one attack/skill in a round, take advantage of this
Fix some cases of the script not exiting properly when a fight ended suddenly
Don't open the Bag O' Tricks since the script isn't aware that you can only use it once.
1.6: Update to work with new version of BatBrain. Also fix some silly return values.
Small adjustments for Avatar of Boris
1.7: Don't use attack if an Avatar of Boris, fix error in OK().
1.8: Yet another adaptation to Batbrain changing
Start re-implementing HP/MP-restoring options
1.9: Add some extra debug-printouts at verbosity 9
Add a new zlib-variable WHAM_AlwaysContinue, default to false, that will try and execute a 5-skill combo even if it
won't kill the monster
Modify the useage of Broadside and Entangling Noodles as well as Intimidating Bellow to make them slightly less wasteful
1.9.5: Fix the modifications for Broadside and Intimidating Bellow
1.9.6: Don't try to use Mighty Axing as an attack-skill if we have temporary amnesia
2.0: Refactor code to use BatBrain predictive abilities and thereby also to use items and gain an enormous speed boost (and
also allow the script to plan 25-shots of monsters)
Banish some foes in Boris-runs if we can, please suggest more potential banishes.
Currently banishes: A.M.C Gremlin, Flaming Troll, Procrastination Giant, Sabre-Toothed Goat, Senile Lihc and Slick Lihc.
2.0.1: Fix some small things, mainly with printouts
2.0.2: Don't use Trusty-specific skills if you're not wielding Trusty
2.0.3: Add missing ) and modify the attack-repeat-macro for a potential bug-fix
2.1: Update to be up to date with latest SS also don't enqueue items as skills, it won't work.
2.1.1: Add missing macro()-call from the SS-function
2.2: Fix bug with using more items than we have (hopefully)
2.3: Fix bug with failing to enqueue some things due to the script (and thus BatBrain) being out of sync with KoL
2.4: Fix some bugs with attacking and hitchances

[roippi]

I firmly believe in judging a script by the cleverness of its name, so I am highly looking forward to trying this one out.

[Winterbay]

I willingly admit to having waited a couple of days longer than strictly necessary to post this because I wanted to come up with a suitable acronym... :)

[zeroToNine]

As a first general recommendation, I suggest you to remove the notify:

Hmm... I was under the impression that would only fire if you ranit from the script-menu. I appear to have been wrong. I shall rectify that :)

Edit: Also, I should perhaps note somewhere that "n bottles of beer on a golem" is one of the monsters the script will have a hard time with due to the skill blocking properties of it.

[fronobulax]

Just tried this. Thank you. Some message that flashed by on the screen referred to "SpamAttack" when I would have expected it to say "WHAM". I'm not sure what the WHAM_round_limit means in a practical sense but I had to raise it before WHAM was willing to run the fight. It stopped several times and told me it couldn't do what I wanted and suggested I run the combat manually and rerun with a higher verbosity. I'm not sure I understood everything but with the higher verbosity it told me what attacks would be best so that I could perform those manually. If that is true then it would be easier on the user if the information appeared, before the script stopped, with normal verbosity (3). Then I could just fight the good fight. The script seemed to have great difficulty when I was Beaten Up. It would consistently stop all automation in this case.

My primary reason to use it is as part of automation. With a multi-skilled character I suspect using it will be easier than tweaking my CCS every time I ascend. With that vision in mind, as long as it can complete the combat I don't care how long it takes. Indeed, if I cannot defeat the monster in 30 rounds then the logic that sent me to fight that monster needs to be reassessed. But in a perfect world I would want WHAM to never stop or abort automation unless it was as certain as it could be that the character would not survive. That may be the case now with WHAM_round_limit set high enough or there may be a feature request implied in that.

In any event just having something that tells me Saucestorm will be better than Lunging Thrust Smack for the current circumstances is fun. Thanks.

[Winterbay]

Currently that information is at verbosity 7 which may be a bit too high. I've set it to 3 in my local copy, which might be better since it is rather vital information in that case.
The WHAM_round_limit is for when you're a muscle or mysticallity class. It controls how many rounds it will consider just attacking for (without you getting killed of course) instead of going over and try with skills. One thing I'd like to do is manage to get attack in as a potential thing to use together with your skills.
The script will halt if you cannot kill the monster, without getting killed, with your attack before WHAM_round_limit or in five rounds with skills.

There is a small problem at the moment where the stun from Noodles from SS isn't taken into account in the later consideration which I'm not really sure why (so you could in fact survive 4 rounds instead of 2 but for some reason the script doesn't see this.

[fronobulax]

I'm guessing WHAM doesn't realize SS has already banished the monster?

At this point I had already finished the fight. Only a concern because it stops automation.

[Winterbay]

Yes and no. It should recognize all autostops but batbrain has a bug where that doesn't work (it sets the turn number incorrectly so the detection won't work).

[fronobulax]

Yes and no. It should recognize all autostops but batbrain has a bug where that doesn't work (it sets the turn number incorrectly so the detection won't work).

To confirm then, if I actually understood what happened ;-) I would report this as a BatBrain 'error'? I infer, however that BatBrain (zarqon) already knows the error exists so my response is to be patient.

[Winterbay]

I've reported it already (i.e. the last post in the BatBrain thread currently where I had the exact same problem as you did and was confused because the code I had set up should've handled it...).

[Winterbay]

Version 1.2 uploaded with a fix that should make the script successfully detect if the fight ended in a sneaky way and not abort automation when that happens. Untested, but the theory is sound and the basis for it is tested :)

[fronobulax]

Version 1.2 uploaded with a fix that should make the script successfully detect if the fight ended in a sneaky way and not abort automation when that happens. Untested, but the theory is sound and the basis for it is tested :)

FWIW, I saw this abort two or three times yesterday, with the previous version, and none today with the new version so my experience supports the "It is Fixed" hypothesis.

[Winterbay]

Version 1.3 has been released which includes some fixes for fights aborting incorrectly (more specifically free runaways) as well as detection of temporary amnesia if you are fighting with skills.

Edit: Updated to 1.3.1 since I forgot a parenthesis which didn't show up until after the script was run in a fight (it verified just fine).

Wham problem, or somewhere upstream?

best regards

[Theraze]

Relay browser is mafia's knowledge, not WHAM.

[roippi]

I assume he means all the "the string 'foo' is not an integer" messages?

[Theraze]

Possible... that just looks like WHAM had a major datafile bork. If it keeps happening, I'd suggest deleting your batfactors.txt file and letting it get a new one, if you haven't changed it yourself. If you have, knock it off... or at least, knock off editing it with an editor that screws up tabs. :)

But WHAM not being able to calculate which of the available commands were best able to complete because it had 0/0/0 monster stats would be a mafia datafile thing, not a WHAM issue.

[Winterbay]

Yeah, ghoul whelps have no stats in Mafia and are thus controlled by the zlib-setting unknown_ml, setting that too high may lead to unexpected results at lower levels like this. I usually have mine somewhere between 120 and 200 depending on where in an ascension I am.

When it comes to the "not an integer"-part it does appear like a broken data-file. I would suggest starting by deleting (or renaming) your batfactors.txt and see if that helps. I've had no such problems today at least and line 479 is where the script is excising the skill-ID from batfactors.

[morgad]

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
I have never intentionally touched the data files - but have now deleted batfactors.txt (dated 2012-01-16 19:41) . Will know if it works in 5 days :)

Dave

[Winterbay]

I've uploaded v1.4 which sets the unknown_ml to specific values for the Cyrpt-monsters that Mafia (and the wiki) have no data for meaning it will hopefully not abort as much for those even if you have your unknown_ml set to values more relevant for higher level monsters. And yes, it resets the value afterwards :)

[Theraze]

I'm sure you're aware, but since you don't have the resetting of unknown_ml put into a try/finally loop, if WHAM can't finish the combat for any reason and it aborts (or if the user manually aborts), their unknown_ml value stays set to your override instead of getting put back to the user's request...

[Winterbay]

Hmmm true. Didn't think of that. Shouldn't be too common though, but I'll keep it in mind for my next update.

[Theraze]

Depends mostly if you add more monsters. Long as you keep it limited, you'll probably be fine. :) Expand it to the alcove where people might abort more often as they notice they're done with shysters or other bits, and...

[Winterbay]

As far as I'm aware all the monsters in the alcove have stats in Mafia already (I did a check for monsters with hp = 0 and found the four cyrpt-monsters I added and some level 11-12 monsters and a lot of holiday monsters).
However, I've fixed the issue locally so next update will fix the potential problem.

[Winterbay]

Version 1.5 uploaded. This fixes a number of things and should hopefully not abort as often if you need to kill the monster quickly.
Entangling noodles-support is still slightly broken.

What does a bad monster value "" mean?

[Winterbay]

What about Boris versus the NS/Bonerdagon - would attack be better here than axing (not blocked)?

best regards
Dave

Good point. I'll have to look at that I think.


What does a bad monster value "" mean?

It means that Mafia, for some reason, has failed to parse the monster name. It happens from time to time to me as well, but I have never been able to pinpoint any specific reasons for it.

[Winterbay]

Version 1.8 updated. It'll now no longer default to Mighty Axing against skill-blocking enemies such as the NS and the Bonerdagon, it is also compatible with the upcoming version of BatBrain (special link is included in the first post). The special copy of BatBrain is required until zarqon updates the main branch of BatBrain.

[fronobulax]

Alas the version posted in the first post does not work. It fails the verify command because there is at least one extra ")" circa line 216. The other errors could be because I am confused as to which versions of BatBrain and SmartStasis I am supposed to have. Variables macro and stuncount (or something like that) are referenced, for example, but not defined depending on how I max and match BB and SS versions.

[Winterbay]

Oops. Sorry. That's what I get for doing last minute changes after I've logged out. The version in the first post should be working now, as long as you have the "experimental" version of BatBrain linked to at the top of it.

Hmmm... Somehow SS did not set the roundnumber to maxrounds when the fight ended, but continued to parse the round-number so that it was set to 3 when control was passed back to WHAM. That sounds like a SS-bug. I'll re-post it over there I think.

[fronobulax]

Characters are sober and latest versions ran fine.

I prefer a high level of automation and will gladly trade optimality in play for increased automation. I get impatient when WHAM turns over control to me and then when I finish combat have to restart bccascend and have it (re)check everything. I actually think about using the "a" word (as in it "a"s me) when I get manual control and then one hit the monster. I get confused when neither SmartStasis or WHAM casts entangling noodles. I do note that sometimes I get hit pretty badly before control is given to me which makes me question some of the upstream decision making - upstream all the way back to the decision to adventure in that place ;-)

So, if my goal is to maximize automation and only stop to avoid Beaten Up what parameters should I be paying attention to? What verbosity is going to be helpful to help explain why decisions are being made? Is there any automagic way to detect that BatBrain and KoL have different ideas about monster stats or is that something I need to check manually if it seems to be the same monster that stops automation without any other obvious reason.

Thanks for the work. I always feel a little impressed when WHAM decides to two hit a monster with a lower cost spell.

[Winterbay]

Getting the script to not abort is easier the more skills you have available, as the script will have more options to analyse and build a potential solution with. However a general tips is to make sure you have enough MP to cast some somewhat heavy skills, as this will make sure the script has at least one option available. Another is to make sure you have enough HP to survive a few hits from the monsters in question since that will also increase the amount of available options.

An idea I just had was to add an option to let the script execute the best 5-skill combo and then recalculate no matter if it thinks it'll kill the monster in 5 turns or not, iff you will survive more than that number of hits. The script also has a slight problem parsing stunning done before the calculations take place meaning that even if you may survive for more than 3 rounds because you have stunned the monster the script won't always realise this.

[zanmatoer]

I think this is WHAM rather than BatBrain related, but WHAM seems to be massively over-using Broadside.

It is an amazing skill (4 round stun is kinda ridiculous), but it does cost 10mp. WHAM appears to use it in 90% of combats, which is causing significant meat drain! Usually a single Mighty Axing will do the job, especially as WHAM (almost) always opens with a bellow.

Other than that, WHAM is awesome, so thanks!

[Winterbay]

Yeah, I've been noticing this as well. It's not been a big problem for me as I've gotten used to using a double-ice cap as headgear for most of the round so I generally have way too much MP anyway, but it can be a problem. I'll see if I can move the check for that further along (when we know how we will end the fight).

[Theraze]

What probably needs to happen (and I was starting to test on my local copy of DAM) is something like
if (round < maxround && !is_our_huckleberry() && get_action($skill[broadside]).stun > 0 &&
m_dpr(0,0)*(kill_rounds(attack_action() < 5 ? kill_rounds(attack_action() - 1 : 4)*meatperhp > mp_cost($skill[broadside])*meatpermp)
macro(get_action($skill[broadside]));
That's using the code I'd left in SmartStasis... I actually completely removed it from my DAM and let it decide when to use it, no custom code at all, and it generally only uses it when it seems to make sense. :) Usually. There's still some of that "why did you want to delevel and stun them if you're going to one-hit them anyways!" pondering, but...

[Winterbay]

I've added a stun()-function to my local copy and will be tweaking that to something that may or may not be similar to the above. The problem is that kill_rounds(attack_action()) won't give me very much useful information since the entire point of WHAM is to pick a combination of skills for most of the time, so I'll have to find another solution.

[Theraze]

Yeah... but if you have access to how many items are on the enqueue stack total, you should know how many rounds you're taking, right? Not sure... does BatBrain allow access to total stack size yet?

[zanmatoer]

Very true about the double-ice cap. Broadside becomes a big problem in places like the pirate cove pre-fledges and the war (although less-so). Anywhere where you can't wear the massively overpowered ice cap, basically :D

WHAM also seems to underestimate the damage a single Mighty Axing will do on my main (who now starts with full Feasting and most of Shouting), but calculates it more accurately on my multi with much less banked skills. Not really sure as to the actual reason, though.

EDIT: What's the most effective way to disable Broadside completely until the issue is fixed (assuming Winterbay isn't so awesome that it'll be fixed up real quick)?

[Winterbay]

The quickest way is to not learn it :)
Apart form that you can search for the function-calls to stun() and comment them out with //.

That said 1.9 has been uploaded which, hopefully, should not stun as much with broadside (or intimidate as much) as 1.8. Let me know if it's working or not as I just got Broadside today so won't be able to see any effect of it until tomorrow.

[zanmatoer]

Awesome!

It still appears to be overusing Broadside, but to a much less extreme extent. I think the problem might lie with BatBrain's estimation of how much damage Mighty Axing does.

I can't really comment on WHAM's usage of Bellow, as I'm doing the war currently, where bellowing makes perfect sense every battl- scratch that, WHAM just killed a dook in the barn without bellowing first! I think the new incarnation is a significant improvement that'll be perfected when Mighty Axing's damage is better spaded.

Thanks again.

[Donavin69]

I'm having a problem that when a monster is stasised for long enough that it ends up dieing before Wham tries to kill it, I get an abort.

Sorry for the really long code, but that's how the fight goes. It doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough for me to turn up Verbosity to capture this:

Any advice as to what I should change to make this not abort?

[Winterbay]

I see two problems : 1) Batbrain failed to set the round number to 31 when the fight ended and thus WHAM did not abort correctly and 2) SS tries to Stasis even though your Hobo Monkey has already handed you its meat (probably because that happened before WHAM/SS was called) thereby prolonging the fight more than strictly profitable.
I've actually got no idea how to solve any of those...

I guess changing all if(finished()) to if(finished() || contains_text(page, "WINWINWIN")) may work for the first issue though.

[Donavin69]

I guess changing all if(finished()) to if(finished() || contains_text(page, "WINWINWIN")) may work for the first issue though.
I modified my version of BatBrain to have the boolean finished() return true if the page contained WINWINWIN and I didn't have any problems today :)

Thanks!

[fronobulax]

Nit - WHAM considers Lunging Thrust Smack even when the weapon is ranged.

Observation - "WHAM: The fight has gone on for longer than your WHAM_maxround setting. Reverting power to manual." gets pretty consistently printed when WHAM loses a fight. No message or one indicating that WHAM knows the fight is over and lost would be more useful, IMO.

Tangent - Would someone please remind me why "KoLmafia thinks it is round 3 but KoL thinks it is round 2" is a useful message and not just clutter that has been OBE and could be removed?

Thanks.

Edit: "considers" above as in lists it as a possible option when WHAM reverts to manual control in the relay browser.

[Winterbay]

1) Hmm... It shouldn't do that. It goes over iterateskills, which in turns comes from allMySkills which in turn is encapsulated in ok()-calls and LTS should not be OK if your weapon is ranged. ANy specific weapon or all ranged weapons?

2) Yes, I noticed that today as well and will have a look at it.

3) Ehhm... I don't think it is. That said the reason for the message coming up so much at the moment is that SmartStasis submits an empty macro for one round which makes KoL and Mafia get out of sync in regards to the round of the battle.

[Theraze]

The "rounds don't match up" bug was one that... hola? jason? were going to fix with a combat refactoring. But we do have a bug thread with 36 posts in it (http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?3805-KoLmafia-thinks-it-is-round-but-KoL-thinks-it-is-round-1) as well, which wasn't the one where they'd talked about their plans, so I really can't remember which of them had that plan about a year ago or so.

[Veracity]

Would someone please remind me why "KoLmafia thinks it is round 3 but KoL thinks it is round 2" is a useful message and not just clutter that has been OBE and could be removed?
Arrogant, a little? Not that I know what "OBE" is supposed to mean; the first two google hits - Order of the British Empire and Out of Body Experience - are, possibly, the only ways I've actually seen that acronym used.

We don't depend on things by round number any more, so tracking round number is primarily cosmetic: for us to display in the gCLI and session logs, the title of Fight! pages. We also pass the round number to consult scripts, for them to do with what they wish. It would be nice if our tracking were accurate.

However, since KoL itself tells us in an HTML comment what it thinks the round number is, it seems to me that we could just extract that and save it and use it for the above purposes: logging, the title bar and consult scripts.

KoLmafia's message HAS proven useful: RoyalTonberry told me that he discovered that such-and-such an action did not consume a round specifically because KoLmafia told him about losing synch when he did it. Does that make it a spading tools? :) Regardless, synching up with KoL's round number would still let you notice things like that.

The tricky thing is to make sure that logging continues to look the same, in my opinion.

[fronobulax]

Overtaken By Events.

I could have phrased the round question better but I did remember a lot of discussion and I thought it was one of those things that could go away. Since it had not gone away I figured my memory is faulty. I was thinking it was primarily cosmetic but if it is useful for spading (and I now understand how) I can live with it. Either way my curiosity behind the question has been addressed.

17-alarm Saucepan which is not the ranged weapon that I thought it was. Would someone please pass me my crow sandwich?

[fronobulax]

Well after my faux pas concerning ranged saucepans, I hesitate to say anything but...

Sauceror. In Junkyard.

Since I have adequate MO and several combat damage spells available this is not the list I was expecting. Operator error again or something else?

[Winterbay]

... good question. Do you with MO mean MP? Because if you have enough MP to cast things it should show up... It'll only show things you have enough MP to cast though.

[fronobulax]

I did mean MP. So much for my proofreading skills

No idea where to begin. I didn't notice the problem yesterday. Today is Festival of Jarlsberg and I updated BarBrain but otherwise...

100% NPZR.

[fronobulax]

Me again. I set the verbosity to 10 and ran. gCLI output attached plus some of the character status information. After WHAM stopped I manually cast entangling noodles and then one shotted the monster.

Observations - SmartStasis apparently didn't think there was anything to do even with a NPZR. WHAM failed to consider spells. No one thought it was worth casting entangling noodles.

I have one or two more days before ascending so if I can try something let me know.

Thanks.

[Winterbay]

The fact that SS didn't do anything is because at verbosity 10 it doesn't get called. It's set up that way in order to ensure that verbosity 10 is only for debugging purposes without changing SS (you can see this by the fact that it never printed "Running Smart Stasis").

That said, it should still consider spells. My only guess at the moment is that the sword makes batbrain confused (that is if you had that on during the fight), but that is not substantiated by anything really. I'll be getting out of my Boris run in 3 days or so and will be able to test some then (unless I need to go to the hospital first to welcome my child to the world, estimated date of delivery is Friday).

[fronobulax]

Congratulations on the impending birth. My son is the person who introduced me to KoL, so you have much to look forward to.

Windsor Pan of the Source was the weapon equipped when adventuring. The log entry was the rollover gear that I did change out of.

[Winterbay]

I actually just had the same thing happen to me in my Boris run. The macro for basic attacking works fine (and adds broadside and mighty axing as asked) but as soon as it moves over to other types of attacking (say a procrastination giant) it fails and has no skills available.
Odd...

Edit: It appears that damage from all skills that are calculated in any way other than "normal" way get set to 0 in the new Batbrain. I have no idea why and will take this over there...

[Winterbay]

Ok, so it appears that there is something that could be a bug in BatBrain that's causing this. Attached to this thread is a version of BatBrain with the, I think, missing code added back in. Please use that instead of the "official" release until this can get a better fix.

That seems to have worked better although switching from a high level spell caster to a low level moxie class might also explain the improvement ;-)

[Winterbay]

I saw a lot but I'm not sure whether it is WHAM, pre-WHAM or related to the round counting observations.

That is, I think, a Bumcheekascend bug that I hope to have fixed in an update I did this morning so the SVN-version shouldn't do that anymore (basically I miscounted the number of arguments in a BumAdv-call and the mood-information ended up as an adventure filter which obviously didn't work).

[Winterbay]

Version 1.9.5 uploaded that makes the script use Broadside and Bellow in more reasonable places. I'm also working on a complete re-write since the script is stupidly slow if you have loads of skills (which I after a bunch of Boris-runs appear to have and so noticed this). It may take a whiel due to me being somewhat busy at the moment.

[Chef_Rannos]

I've noticed things like this, where sometimes WHAM aborts the running script when the combat is finished unexpectedly.

Anything I can do to help? :D

[Winterbay]

You could run a fight at a higher verbosity which should give some more info on what is happening (7 is the upper limit for "information" after that it is increasing amounts of debug info until at 10 it will run the script and print a lot of debug info but won't execute anything).

The first case is that finished() apparently didn't report correctly that the fight ended, which is a bit hard to check for, while the problem in the second case, I do believe, is the acquisition of Temporary Amnesia and you being in a Boris run, since it's trying to bash the monster in and Boris is the only place where that would be done with a skill... That would definitely be fixable.

Edit: 1.9.6 fixes the second problem.

I'd imagine if I have over 90% hit potential that should be good enough to spam some mighty axings, right?


EDIT: My normal attack did 227 (+10 spooky from snarl of the timberwolf) so that's quite a bit more than the 150 calculated when it stopped...maybe that's a minimum damage?

[lostcalpolydude]

It's trying to avoid cunctatitis, and Boris doesn't have any good ways of doing that. Except Banishing Shout (my preferred method, even during a speed run where I don't care what Items the giants drop because I'm not opening HitS), but I wouldn't expect a script to automatically decide that Banishing Shout is the way to go. There doesn't seem to be much downside to it for Procrastination Giants, so maybe it should anyway.

[Bale]

It's trying to avoid cunctatitis, and Boris doesn't have any good ways of doing that.

"Throw Trusty" works pretty well for that, but I always prefer to banish the Procrastination Giants which is so much more effective.

Yeah, the script currently doesn't use any kind of banishers that SS doesn't use for it. I guess it could try banishing things in the upcoming 2.0 version if I find a nice set of rules for it.

Edit: Actually I already have a function just for that sort of thing. Which monsters would it be a good idea to banish apart from the procrastination giant?

[Theraze]

Boris does well avoiding those giants using belch, if your stomach is full. But that takes filling up before your adventures, along with the feasting tree.

[Weatherboy]

Banishing Shout = any monster that doesn't drop a goal.

You know, this may be why I'm always so meat poor until I sell the dictionary post orc chasm.

:)

[Winterbay]

So...
Procrastination Giant
A.M.C Gremlin

Any other that would always want to be banished? Banishing everything that doesn't drop a goal sounds a tad bit too expensive, but is probably the most optimal thing to do. ALso, banishing more than 3 monsters in one zone would also be rather ineffective since the first one would come back again then.

[zanmatoer]

sabre-toothed goat?
slick lihc, slick lihc?
Flaming Troll?

There must me more than that...

[Winterbay]

Version 2.0 uploaded with a pretty large re-write. I hope I didn't break anything but instead made the script more awesome by better usage of BatBrain's features.

Known bug/problem: If you have 1 of an item that it is optimal to throw more than one of the script will probably crash. This is a Batbrain-bug/oversight that'll hopefully be fixed in an upcoming release.

Setting verbosity to 9 will give printouts of what turn you're on for help with the debugging of that problem (as discussed over in the BatBrain-thread).

[Winterbay]

Version 2.0.1 uploaded due to someone having downloaded the uploaded version and me having to change some small things.

Known bug/problems:
* If you have 1 of an item that it is optimal to throw more than one of the script will probably crash. This is a Batbrain-bug/oversight that'll hopefully be fixed in an upcoming release.
* If you're in over your head the script may abort due to not being able to delevel enough. This may be a feature, I'm not sure :)

Thanks. I'll fix that and reupload.

I have however no idea why it aborted there, well I know why it aborted the 2nd time (verbosity = 10 does that) but that's beside the point. 2.0.3 fixes the parenthesis and possibly this issue as well. I changed the way that "attack" is enqueued to a macro at least.

[acedwhengrim]

2.0.3 still has 2.0.2 as the version number and still displays the update message.

[Winterbay]

SO it did. Reuploaded with the correct number (change the 2.0.2 to a 2.0.3 yourself if You don't want to redownload).

[Winterbay]

Version 2.1 uploaded to be compatible with latest version of SS and also to not enqueue items as skills since that won't work.

I did run into an issue at time when it tried to enqueue an item or skill and failed, but I have no idea why. If you run into it let me know so that I know I'm jus timagining things :)

[Donavin69]

I keep having the enqueue issue with the snow queen, so I bumped verbosity up to 8 in case that would help with troubleshooting.

[fronobulax]

Latest versions of everything - WHAM does not seem to be getting pirate insults. Zarqon suggested in the SmartStasis thread that it might be a WHAM issue rather than SS. Perhaps related, WHAM didn't really figure out what to do with any of the pirates and dropped me into the relay browser for every fight.

[Magus_Prime]

I'd also add that automatic usage of fliers isn't working either and I got dropped to the relay browser whenever I encountered a Procrastination Giant.

I'd also add that automatic usage of fliers isn't working either and I got dropped to the relay browser whenever I encountered a Procrastination Giant.

Procrastination giant has dropped me for quite a while. I suspect bad or funky data although I have not bothered to investigate. zarqon also noted the fliers and again, the hypothesis is that is is WHAM and not SmartStasis or BatBrain.

[Bale]

DAM does use the fliers, so that is another nail in the coffin.

[illarion]

I'm also having problems with flyering and insults, latest versions of WHAM, SmartStasis and BatBrain. Tried DestroyAllMonsters, which I hadn't heard about before, and that IS working (well, flyering - I'm past the pirates now).

I am sorry for my lack of being here, but I've been stuck at the hospital with my newborn daughter since Monday. Will probably be home on Sunday but will be, for obvious reasons, a bit absent.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience :)

That would be because BCCascend has special code for the GmoB :)

Regarding the errors:
1) Any problem with flyering, insulting and so on must lie within the smartsstais-function. It is possible it needs an extra "macro()"-call at the end of that function. I've uploaded version 2.1.1 which should fix that...
2) Regarding queueing up odd stuff: The script uses BatBrain's attack_action() (well a slightly modified version of it to remove some of the pessimism of said function since it would otherwise way too often fail to do anything and to change what is being considered slightly) and if that reports "cocktail napkin" the script'll try and use that. I have no idea why it fails though...
Could those experiencing that problem tell me how many of the item they have in inventory when it fails to enqueue them and also run one fight on verbosity 10 to get the printout of your options?

(I'm back home with the baby but not fully active yet... :) )

[fronobulax]

The new release, combined with a recent ascension means that things are behaving as expected but I don't feel like I have tested the "bad" cases. In the case of failing to enqueue the napkin, I wonder if the fact that I have one napkin and double funk slinging was an issue? I seem to recall problems with ducks and feathers over the weekend as well. Glad baby is home...

[morgad]

Definately getting better :)
not sure why it tried to cleave when not enough MP left over after the broadside, a couple of axe blows were all that was needed ...

That's a good question. Also, I had the error with the cocktail napkins today (it tried to enqeue 4 while I only had 1). I think I've fixed this now... Try 2.2... :)

Nope, same issue trying to kill a knob goblin accountant.

Nope, same issue trying to kill a knob goblin accountant.

Did it try to attack it and failed or did it try to throw two items at it that you didn't have?

[Winterbay]

Definately getting better :)
not sure why it tried to cleave when not enough MP left over after the broadside, a couple of axe blows were all that was needed ...

Part of the problem there is that the stun from Broadside isn't being propagated to the rest of WHAM. That knowledge stays with SS which means the script does no longer know that the monster is stunned and that you can kill the monster without resorting to heavier stuff.

I think the enqueueing of a skill you no longer can cast could be because the script got out of sync with KoL since the variables were set up before anything had happened and then SS did it's stuff. I've added an extra act()-call in 2.3 which may or may not fix this... :)

Also, sorry for the rush of updates today. I'll wait until tomorrow, at least, to do any more :)

[Rinn]

The output was basically the same as the stuff I already posted. I'm pretty sure it was trying to attack but was submitting an empty macro.

[Winterbay]

Hmm... I'll have to look at that when I get out of my current Boris run.

[Chef_Rannos]

Not sure if this was covered, but does anyone know why I'm getting this on the cyrpt monsters? I updated to 2.3 after fighting the huge ghuol and it died again.

That would be because the Bonerdagon and the Sorceress has a base block-chance of 50% and the default value of WHAM_hitchance is set to 0.5 which is compared strictly larger than, which is a bug. 2.4 fixes that. It is also a problem that it wasn't considering attack at all due to me removing some code for that a while ago, 2.4 puts that back in again.

Also, 2.4 fixes the bug Rinn had with attacking (the problem was that attack was not an option because the setting-up of options was after the call to try and use it...).

With that I think that all the reported issues are solved. I'm slightly optimistic about that :)

[Chef_Rannos]

I'm more optimistic. Downloaded and running with my banked turns for muscle day. :)

EDIT: Ok, ran into a problem, I think that it's not re-calculating after really quite poisoned is removed:

I'm more optimistic. Downloaded and running with my banked turns for muscle day. :)

I thought stats days didn't mean anything in run anymore. Am I missing something here?

[Chef_Rannos]

I thought stats days didn't mean anything in run anymore. Am I missing something here?

No, I was more banking because I got home late and didn't have time to use my turns...didn't mean to imply I was saving them specially. ;)

[Winterbay]

Hmmm... Since the uneffect happened before running SS it would appear to be Mafia doing the removal for you. As such the problem is most likely with batbrain since that should really pick up that we are not poisoned any more...

What's your verbosity set to?

[Crowther]

I decided to give 2.4 a try, since it sounded like most of the bugs have been worked out. I made it to level 11 before noticing any serious problems. For some reason, it's having trouble with ancient protector spirits.
Encounter: ancient protector spirit
Round 0: Crowther wins initiative!
> BCC: Run_Combat() being used normally.
> WHAM: Running SmartStasis
Round 2: Crowther executes a macro!
Round 2: Crowther casts INTIMIDATING BELLOW!
> WHAM: Monster is weak. We are just going to bash its head in. It'll take 1 rounds.
Round 3: Crowther executes a macro!
Round 3: Crowther casts MIGHTY AXING!After than, it continues to use mighty axing until I get beaten up. I have no source of elemental damage, so mighty axing only does 1 damage per attack.

I've been doing a lot of 100 turn basement runs and this script has been a big help deciding how to defeat those monster. 1.9.6 worked well, but was painfully slow because I've got way too many skills for it to consider. I'm excited about trying 2.4 and seeing how much faster it runs.

[Chef_Rannos]

Heroic Belch works well there. :)

I'm a bit at a loss here since it really shouldn't do that, it should abort and let your figure out the best way to move forward. And also, I'm a bit confused as to why you do not have heroic belch at that point :)

[fronobulax]

heroic belch

The effect of heroic belch varies with fullness, right? I have seen WHAM not use it, wondered why and discovered the amount of damage done was pathetic. When I ate WHAM seemed to happily and correctly choose it.

My apologies, I always forget to include enough information. I had all 30 Boris skills and enough fullness for belch. I probably should have grabbed a more verbose log, but at the time I was just happy WHAM made it that far. Only later did I realized it might be nice to tell others. I just checked my logs and once I took over by hand, it only took one bellow and two belches to kill all the spirits.

I guess it doesn't really matter if it's Boris specific. Now that I've got the skill, I'm not planning on doing another Boris run. The new challenge path is a few days out and we'll all be distracted by that.

I tried 2.4 in the basement today and some monsters never solved. I waited for half and hour on one. Now, it's probably my fault, because I really should have been more buffed. The first long pause, I lost playing by hand. The second, I won, but it was so close, I'm going to say it was luck. On a few monsters, WHAM used inexpensive combat items to kick ass. Items I didn't even know existed!

I have to say, I really miss the days when I could just use snowclone on everything down there. Lucky for me, I got my full telescope before that bug fix.

[hesuchia]

I'm powerlevelling/candyblasting in space at the moment as a sauceror. Once the monster got weak, the script decided to bash its head in instead, which didn't work so well since I'm a myst class with a chefstave ;). Candyblast woulda killed him in time but it ran out of rounds since phys attacks weren't high enough. This only happened in 2.4. In 2.3 it said it would bash his head in, but kept using Candyblast anyway.

[Winterbay]

Could you run 1 such combat at first verbosity 10 and then 9 and copy the result here? That'll help me debug the issue a lot better.

[fronobulax]

FWIW either WHAM or SS is not really sure how to deal with a Stab Bat as a familiar. I don't recall the mechanics of when it bites me but I'm not sure prolonging the combat is always the best or even a reasonable strategy.

WHAM seems to be going off into LaLa land for me, never actually initiating the combat. I think what is happening is that the only thing that can damage the monster is a spell (and I am a DB) but I only have enough MP to cast it once. WHAM never seems to give up the idea that there is something else it could do after the spell.

I have played with verbosity but I can't make any sense of what I am being told so a specific recommendation would be helpful, although not necessarily useful since the character is now high enough that the spell one shots and the MP restore, when set, allows for multiple casts.
