This script was originally created by flypapermonk and posted here. I have taken over development of this script in the absence of its original writer.

[SIZE=+1]The Neo-Cow Farming Script 2.0[/SIZE]
This is an extremely flexible and easily customizable script that will farm anywhere, for anything, however you want it to. It can be configured to use advanced techniques for improved optimality.


Development of this script has moved. If you would like to use the latest version of the script please look here.


Features
  • Highly customizable: Can be configured to farm in any location, for meat or items.
  • Will bounty hunt for you, using items such as spooky putty to speed up the process.
  • Will eat fortune cookies and get semi-rares for you.
  • Gets buffs and uses skills for you.
  • Uses dj_d's eatdrink script to ensure that your diet is always optimal.
  • Uses any excess mana generated while farming to summon libram items

Requirements
* Not necessary, but highly recommended

A short installation guide is included with the script package (NCF Documentation).


Acknowledgements
Both the_great_cow_guru and flypapermonk are almost entirely responsible for the production and development of this script. As they have ceased to develop it, I have taken over ownership of the script in order to update it for new items, patch the few holes that remain, and keep the script up-to-date with fixes and improvements (if you have such an update feel free to save me some work and post it in this thread :)). Mad props to Slyz for spending so much time helping me add new features and fix bugs.

IMPORTANT: The files attached below are outdated. Version '2.0' can be found here under the name "Harvest.ash".

The Neo-Cow Farming Script 1.3.4

This is the farming script you have been waiting for! Based on the_great_cow_guru's work (so it is extremely flexible and easily customizable) this thing will farm anywhere, for anything, however you want it to. And on top of that, it is able to use some of the more advanced tricks around to speed things up and make things as optimal as possible.

Quick rundown of features:
  • Can be fully customized to farm anywhere, meat or items, wearing anything you want, with whatever familiar you want
  • Uses dj_d's eatdrink script so you always have the most optimal diet, customized just for you
  • If you want, it will also do your daily bounty, and attempt to get it done in as few turns as possible
  • Takes advantage of spooky putty to either speed up bounty hunting, or if you have a valuable monster, will farm that
  • If you have a tome of sugar shummoning and you want it to, it will use sugar shields (this requires, for the moment, a daily mafia build)
  • Will eat fortune cookies to keep track of semirares for you
  • Will summon the Hoom Hah demon if you know its name
  • Will farm semirares if you want it to
  • Will summon whichever libram items you want it to as mp allows
  • Completely and easily customizable

This script requires that you also have dj_d's eatdrink script as well as Zarqon's zlib scripts.

If you wish to see the original script, go here: script of eXtreme farming

As both the_great_cow_guru and I have put a lot of time and work into this, the script will ask you at the end of you farming if you would like to donate a small percentage of your daily profit. This is not required in any way, shape, or form, but is greatly appreciated.

Updates:
1.2.0:
-Fixed some bugs in the eating/drinking/spleening code
-Will now attempt to get ode from a buffbot if you don't have the skill
-Will now make sure to get the most profitable semirares if your counters are set (if they aren't, just allow the script to eat cookies)
1.2.1:
-Fixed a small bug with version tracking
1.3.0:
- includes fixed semirare farming script
- includes libram summon script
- updates puttyfarm to zlib
1.3.1:
- fixed some minor consumption logic problems
1.3.2
- sorry, got cocky and released an untested version, fixed a typo
- minor fix to the logic for puttying monsters
1.3.3
- added a workaround for a bug in mafia related to puttying bounty monsters
- changed how meat gains from farming was tracked to be more accurate
- stopped the script from removing ode at the beginning of the day
- made support scripts able to be chosen in the settings
1.3.4
- will now keep track of which buffs we got from which buffbots (saves time waiting for it to timeout when asking for a buff you can't get)
- fixed a bug with one of the bounties (replace puttybountyhunting.ccs and bountyhunting.ccs)
- updated the buff_prices.txt file

I ran it today and it worked without too much tweaking, couple things I found though:

I noticed that you converted farming script and the bountyhunting script to use zlib, is there a reason you didn't convert the puttyfarming one as well?

I also saw that you hardcoded the value of adventure being sent to eatdrink as 750, this will cause it to ignore whatever the user put in their vars file.

And did you remove the part where it gets ode to booze from the buffbots? eatdrink.ash only gets it if you have the skill, so i would leave that part in.

Wasn't able to get an accurate number for comparison to my original version today. it crashed the first time i ran it after drinking, so the profits were a bit skewed. i'll try it again tomorrow
 
Glad it worked out well for you cow_guru! Thanks a lot for pointing out those bugs to me, I did not realize that eatdrink didn't use buffbots for ode (I have the skill so it worked fine for me). Poking through the code for eating and drinking also made me realize what a quick hack it was and I fixed it up a bit and caught a problem before it happened. As for the new ode from buffbot code... I haven't had a chance to test it but it should work. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll fix it asap.

Oh, and as for the puttyfarming script, well... I haven't really used it myself yet so I haven't felt a need to revamp it. Next version I put out I will at least put zlib support into it. Yeah, I can be lazy...

Hmm.......I get this when it gets to the stage of disposing of stuff at the end....

CCS set to castlefarming
Array index out of bounds (utils.ash, line 361)

Ah it was my mistake when adding something to the cleanup file.

I use a combat macro while farming, what is the best way for me to get the script to use it?

Code: 
scrollwhendone
icon hobomonkey

if !match giant
    abort "Not fighting a meaty beast!"
    repeat
endif

pickpocket

while !match "climbs up and sits" && !pastround 24
   use spectre scepter
endwhile

if hasskill summon hobo underling
   skill summon hobo underling
endif

if hasskill ask the hobo for a drink
   skill ask the hobo for a drink
endif

if hasskill ask the hobo to tell you a joke
   skill ask the hobo to tell you a joke
endif

while !pastround 26
    attack
endwhile
skill stuffed mortar shell
repeat
 
Set that script as your autoattack and it should be used I think, but that would be KoL/Mafia an dnot the script :)
 
Yes but unfortunately then it interferes with my bounty hunting xD I can't save it as a CCS either, Mafia doesn't seem to like "repeat" (swaps it for attack with weapon). There's no way of calling a macro from within a CCS is there?

One other thing, the script seems a bit over-zealous about getting buffs, especially considering I have cantata permed.

EDIT: For now I'm using an old hobo monkey consult script called from farm.ccs. It's less than ideal because it can't be submitted as a macro, but it'll do the trick for now.

Hmm, the script ran into difficulty after using up all my putties for the day (macro/ccs aborted).

I'm also getting an error from the included between battle script:
Code: 
You called this script but there are no librams to use. Either you misconfigured me or you don't have any.
Libram summon #24 will cost 277 MP. Will summon when MP > 572.
That's while my MP>2600 (and I have a libram).

No but you can use macro commands in a CCS - see the wiki for examples.

The rather scary "documentation" which comes with the script explains about how to list buffs you want to cast yourself in farm_buffs.txt.

I've seen this occasionally but it seemed to go away of it's own accord.
 
Just one thing about the way the script handles buffing... If I have 15 000 turns of polka do I really need to bother a buffbot for more? :D

Also, how do I stop the script from auto-selling and sending wads to wadbot? I handle all that sort of stuff with Bale's fantastic OCD Inventory Control script.

And finally, the script failed to report my earnings for today, even though I have that setting enabled in my vars file.

After a very quick look at teh script code I guess emptying out "farm_cleanup.txt" would be the way to go to stop it from doing anything with the items found.
