There is a KoL setting to change how Manuel stats are displayed, which might make a difference for parsing that.

Track number of free fights had today.

There are quite a few areas where turns spent today is relevant. Maybe that should just be added as a proxy field for locations.

Something to note for free fight tracking:

If you lose a "free" snowman combat, then it costs an adventure, but does not reduce the number of available free combats.

To put it another way, you always get 10 free combats per day, but losses cost adventures.

Bale · Jan 5, 2016

That's really interesting!

Yup, which is what will make it possible to calculate based on number of snowman pieces when you win.

This information brought to you by darkcodelagsniper being bad and dying to snowmen

You can examine a similar effect in place with Machine Elf fights. This was probably a hotfix for a bug I discovered and reported last June, now that I think about it.

This isn't that, though. This is wins vs Snowmen in that zone. Where are there others, I'm not sure there are that many? (post war farm, machine elf free fights?)

Darzil · Jan 7, 2016

Daily free fights and progress by stat now tracked in r16598. Snokebomb tracked in r16599.

darkcodelagsniper · Jan 7, 2016

There's already a location proxy field for "turns_spent"

Or is that the joke?

That's actually closer to "visits to this location, in this ascension".
- it counts free adventures (which don't count for snojo free fights tracking)
- it only resets on ascension (snojo tracking should reset on rollover)
- it counts losses (which don't count for snojo free fights tracking)
- it doesn't discriminate based on a setting, so it can't track progress towards rewards

darkcodelagsniper · Jan 7, 2016

Ah rereading lost's post, the distinction is "turns spent today".

The SMOOCH Army HQ is another example. Probably other stuff somewhere in charters. Maybe more stuff in other areas. Maybe it needs to track monsters defeated today in each area instead of turns spent there today to cover all the stuff like that.

The reason I'm spending so much effort talking about implementing things differently than what you've got going so far is that it reminds me of the discussion and eventual implementation of turns_spent tracking. First people asked for turns spent to be tracked to keep track of delay. I pointed out that there were more areas than the requester realized were relevant for the request, and I didn't think it was a good idea to have lots of settings for that, so I rejected the request. Several years later, a bunch of those settings started being made anyway. Thanks to roippi's queue tracking code, I had a way to replace those settings and still track that information.

So that's where my thoughts about this are coming from.

Darzil · Jan 7, 2016

I understand the thought, I'm just uncertain that all the zones count the same sort of information in the same way. I also think there is quite a lot of spading needed on some other zones - eg, which count monsters killed, which count monsters fought, which ones count wandering monsters or not, whether copied monsters from those zones count, etc.

If there is an easy way to make it work, go ahead.

In this case, the easiest way was to just count the snowman pieces, which also recovers from bugs and stuff done outside mafia, and this can't be done in a generic way.

Bale · Jan 8, 2016

Is snojoSetting being reset on ascension? I'm not sure of the answer, so pardon me if I am saying anything unnecessary.

snojoSetting should be reset to NONE when ascending. If the Snowman is approached before the control console it tells me that it is deactivated and I need to visit the console to activate it. When I visit the console it tells me that it is set to my current primestat. Only when I visit the console and the result is parsed should snojoSetting be set to a stat. That way a script can know if it needs to activate it from the console.

Also, the default setting for snojoSetting should be NONE instead of blank. For the reason in the above sentence. Although mostly because $stat[NONE] is a thing which won't throw an error.

Darzil · Jan 8, 2016

Ok, can do that. Always a likelihood of changing things as spading progresses.

Darzil · Jan 8, 2016

r16604

Bale · Jan 8, 2016

Thanks. I thought it was darn weird that I had to visit the console and do nothing before I could start training.
