I've kind of been tearing my hair out, really. I'm not sure where to ask about mafia *the application* as opposed to ash scripting. When I tried to ask questions before, my question got put in a scripting area where people didn't understand the question. I haven't found good documentation on what interface elements are called and terminology, so that makes it harder to ask a question. I'm hoping that it will be clear this time I am asking about the mafia interface and not ash directly.
As the subject says, I want to do certain things each day. Up until now I have had to do it all manually. I did end up bookmarking a bunch of urls to manually visit, which made it a little easier to remember what I needed to do, and recently I learned there were some cli commands which I now run, but none of this is what I really want. I do the same things every day on every character I have, so I am sure there is some way to do this. In fact I am absolutely sure not only that mafia can do all the things I want to do, but that it should be a pretty general solution since none of it is particular to my situation.
Unfortunately nothing "obvious" seems to work. I looked at the "Daily Deeds," for instance. That seemed like a good place to start. In the preferences I see things to put in Daily Deeds, some of them look interesting, but if I actually load the panel or whatever it is there is absolutely nothing there I can do. All I see is some meters and a log from the cli events, stuff that is shown elsewhere. NO actual tasks or anything to do with what I would have thought Daily Deeds were.
Then there is an automation tab in preferences. Lots of interesting boxes there, many of which I have no idea about. It doesn't necessarily have all the things I want to do, but there is some stuff there - so let's check it. It would be nice if I could find out what these things meant - some of them I found what they probably are by roundabout searches in the wiki, but whatever. It doesn't matter anyway, because no matter what I check in there nothing actually happens when I connect or really at any other time. The only automatic things I have got working are (to some extent) the autoadventuring/autorecovery and the check for ode/magnesium/field gar/overdrinking when consuming stuff.
While we're on the subject of drinking and eating, I also noted that there is something called breakfast. But I see no place to configure it or anything. In aftercore I generally have the same diet, so it would be interesting to look into how to do and control that.
I did find this page, which seems to suggest I am almost on the right track. But I guess it is waaay outdated because nothing it describes is actually in the interface. http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=KoLmafia_Guide:_Setting_Up_Breakfast
Can you help me? I am using version 17.6 and download the latest successful build to use pretty often. Mafia is a great program and there is a lot of depth. I'd like to learn as much about it as I can, eventually.
Thank you for your time and patience.
