Just started with this script and gave it a try...seems great thus far! [mostly]. I was hoping to plug n play with minimal effort...but noticed on one of the combat adventures w/ physical resistance...the script just tried to clobber and didn't work. Is there a way that the script chooses between physical and spells depending on the monster or did I just miss something? I'm hoping to be lazy...and in fairness...I tried using the script at level 24...so perhaps my physical attacks aren't strong enough to allow for near automation.

The script doesn't run your combats for you, you should setup Mafia to deal with monsters like you want.

See posts on page 9 of this thread for a few examples (and the KoLMafia Guide if you don't know how Custom Combat Scripts work.

Just started using this script and it is awesome! Thanks! My struggle? I am a seal clubber with no elemental attack skills... I guess I need to go get the SC spookyraven skill? I have entangling noodles and tons of elemental combat items, but how do you script for that? Is there a way to make a KoLMafia custom combat that stops combat and brings it up on the mini browser so I can fight the battles myself?

See the post *just* above yours. And if you want to run your fight in the Relay Browser, set the zlib variable autoBasement_break_on_combat to true by typing: zlib autoBasement_break_on_combat = true in the gCLI.

Also buying one of the Hobopolis 120MP-elemental skill books can work as well, assuming you have enough MP to actually use them efficiently.

If I may request, please don't break the Universal Recovery Script if I have consuming Dr. Lucifers turned off. Having to manually recover MP after combats is really irksome.

string mp_recovery = get_property("mpAutoRecovery");
string mp_recovery_target = get_property("mpAutoRecoveryTarget");
set_property("mpAutoRecovery", "-0.05");
set_property("mpAutoRecoveryTarget", "-0.05");

This seems to be the problem. Can it not be set to only activated if the script is set to consume Dr. Lucifers? That would enable me to have my MP restore normally after battle, a real necessity as I'm using the 120 MP hobo skills.

If you'll notice the script sets the variables back after it's finished running as long as it doesn't abort from a combat or you stop it manually.

set_property("mpAutoRecovery", mp_recovery);
set_property("mpAutoRecoveryTarget", mp_recovery_target);

I have to do this regardless of whether or not you use lucifers because it will restore mp to your target when it's recovering hp, and since there's so many effects flying around it typically wastes a ton of mp.

That's not terribly unlikely in the basement, is it?

How can I run this script after level 30? I get this message when I try and run the script:

Current character level (34) >= autoBasement_break_on_level (30), quitting

Is there some way I can set that to be false?

autoBasement sets a ZLib variable (autoBasement_break_on_level). Easiest way to change this variable is to type into the CLI: "zlib autoBasement_break_on_level = 30"

Alright, that worked pretty well. It seems to work now but I'll occasionally lose a fight. Is it not potting for me? Should I just use a bunch of muscle pots in advance? Thanks.

Presumably it's running out of an effect right when you hit a combat, and then you die because your muscle isn't high enough to hit the monster.

You think so? I'd think it's just silly to try to kill a Basement monster with weapons. You should use divine favors or love songs to do them in. Much better and less dying.

He's still at a low enough basement level that (since he's over level 30) he can probably beat up the monster with just philter of phorce.

Hmm... just took a look a the code and it is set to buff your combat stat to the required level to hit the monster provided that your combat stat is set properly.

Is autoBasement_combat_stat set to muscle?
