New Content - Implemented March 2016 IOTM - Witchess Set

As I pointed out in this post in the still open "New Content" thread for the Witchess set (it is, after all, the currently available IOTM), we really don't handle Witchess fights correctly yet.

Therefore, I am going to merge this Bug Report into the aforementioned still-open New Content thread.

Fair enough, though in my defense, I didn't know it was solely a Witchess thing :)
 
Before this is marked implemented I would like to see:
  • Proper handling of chess fights
  • Counter for how many chess pieces have been fought today
  • Preference to indicate if you have gotten the Puzzle Champ buff today.

Is there anything else this needs?
 
Added the rest of the missing piece stats. Two are guesses (cap of 7000 and 8000 on Witch and Queen), one has huge variance (Ox HP is +/- 33% of of given value). Can't test those things myself at present.

Thank you. I've added it to the script I use for automatically getting all my free fights and it works perfectly. I've got so many such things now that I'd otherwise forget about them in aftercore.
 
Since this is still open...

in the last 5 days, i've had 4 times where I fight my 5 witchess pieces, but _witchessFights gets stuck on 4. I'm not getting any errors, and I'm not automating the fights; I go in, beat a Bishop, rinse and repeat until I no longer have access to the shrink ray, and _witchessFights is still at 4. Does this happen to anyone else?
 
last night I fought a rook and 4 bishops. I just checked, my _witchessFights is at 5.
I'll check again tomorrow.
 
I wish I saw this thread earlier. Is it too late to request a CLI command to do the witchess fights automatically?

Also, in reply to the procedural puzzle solver issue--If done in java it should be sped up a lot with an intelligent A* search.

Can you give the property name/put it on the KoLMafia wiki?

Or just use prefref, in this case "prefref witchess" gives a single result.

A command that dumps you into a fight (which will need more automation seems weird). I think a command to automatically grab the buff (as long as puzzleChampBonus is 20) would be good though.

There isn't going to be a built-in puzzle solver.

Is there a pref for whether you got the buff today? If not, I'd like to humbly request that. Even though my puzzle champ is not yet 20, I could use it for a daily reminder to /goto witchess.php and get it.
 
Ok, it happened to me again that _witchessFights doesn't get fully updated to 5. I just don't know how to reproduce it, because it doesn't happen consistently. Here's what I did today, using r16871 (though it's happened over a few builds). All the witchess fights were done manually, only using the "script" button to execute a macro each fight:

Afterward, I did a check:

> get _witchessFights

4

=====

Like I said, I don't know how to reproduce the issue, mostly because I burn through my manual fights once a day and only notice it with my relay scripts later on. I'll try to remember to use Ezandora's Guide next time I run through them to see which fight it chokes on, if it happens again.
 
Just stopping in to say that I've also experienced the problem that Eric describes, where _witchessFights == 4 after 5 fights. It's happened to me twice in the last two days, running r16859, and again, running fights manually except for the "script" button.

I don't have any debug details to add, but thought a note was worthwhile just as a sanity check.
 
Will probably be worth adding a command (and tying into maximizer) to get the buff when someone has completed all the puzzles. I'm still a good way off this, though.
 
I've been trying to jerryrig a custom daily deed button to gain the Puzzle Champ buff with one click, and in my total scripting noobishness, I've gotten this far:
Code: 
$CUSTOM|Command|Witchess Puzzle Champ|_witchessBuff|ashq visit_url("campground.php?action=witchess");run_choice(3);run_choice(2)|1

When I click on it, I do get the +20lbs familiar weight buff, as intended, but it also opens a Request Sync window with my character pane and a stretched-out puzzle, and both of which are in Times New Roman, for some reason.
It's really only a minor annoyance, but is there a better way to make this?
 
There was nothing you could have done to avoid that happening, I think. 16886 adds "witchess" as a command to grab the buff for you (as long as you have solved all puzzles already).
