autoBasement.ash - Better basement automation

Ah, but as you get more muscle, you might have a different outfit that maximizes your HP (e.g. lawn dart vs brimstone bludgeon), or what have you (maximizer doesn't support more complicated functions like effective HP, taking into account resistance / DA).

Yeah, that's extremely niche and was never relevant for me, since I always started basement diving late enough that was a non-issue.

We also cache familiar and familiar equipment which is normally not included in the outfit, which is the reason I didn't do a "once per day if we are above 200" caching.

It doesn't start caching until your stats reach 200. I don't think things will change very much after that point. I'm hard pressed to come up with anything that would change once you reach 200 stats, so I really believe the difference would be tiny.

EDIT: Okay, familiars sure.

This was also posted, inadvertently, in the WHAM thread:

WHAM_killit seems to be working. It's expensive but it's working. To beat a beast with N ears it buffed my Pastamancer's muscle with a pressurized potion and then used a divine noisemaker. Something like Fearful Fettucini would have been much easier and less expensive choice.

I'm grateful for the existence of WHAM and Autobasement but would you be willing to do some tweaking of WHAM_killit / Autobasement to be a bit more sensible?
 
What is your autobasement_combat_stat set to? As a myst class I would expect it to be Mysticality and if so it shouldn't buff Muscle (it buffs that stat so if it is set to Muscle then that is what it will do).
 
It's set to Muscle. This is the first time in quite a while that I've run the basement as a Myst class. Was this variable always hard-coded in the script? Would it be better to auto-set that variable based on class?
 
I just committed a pretty good update (if I may say so myself). From the changelog:
Code: 
If max_potion_price is larger than autoBuyPriceLimit, raise the latter to the former (and reset at the end of the script)
Make sure we equip the cached outfits before we do the test for which it is intended
Don't abort due to being Beaten Up if we can remove it
Make sure we honor the combat-equipment setting when maximizing
Make sure that we continue to honor the disallowing of precentage based and absolute potions
Fix several bugs with the maximize_wrap function and the elemental_test function that would lead to either overbuffing or failure
Move the debug printing to verbosity levels 7 and 9 respectively

I'm pretty positive about this version and if no one comes up with a glaring error in the next 24-48 hours I'll release it to the world and move the script officially to SVN updating.

I have no idea what's going on. Often there's something in the maximizer window to indicate what's going on but not this time.

Well, the obvious thing to check is what your elemental resistance outfit looks like. If you go to edit outfits in the relay browser how many components does the outfit "Elemental Resistance" contain?

Fewer is correct, though I've been out of elementary school so long I don't remember why. Anyway, same issue as magnus prime. There is no Elemental Resistance outfit for me. Mafia 12211 and svn autobasement.

Passed outfit (Elemental Resistance) contains less than 3 items. Please recheck your inventory.
 
The way it's sometimes taught is that 'fewer' is for countable nouns ("fewer glasses of milk"), and 'less' is for uncountable ("less milk"). This is not, however, a hard rule, and "less" is also correct, having been used with countable nouns before, during, and after the fewer/less distinction was even made an issue. It's pretty obviously not a strict rule when you consider how common "At least" is relative to the almost-never-seen "At fewest".
 
Well, what do you know. There is actually no code to set up that cached outfit. Since I had one and it seemed obvious to me at the time that it came from this script I set the script to equip it. I'll add that to the caching function then...

Edit: r8 should fix that.

Editx2: And r9 "fixes" the grammar :) (At least I hadn't written "less then" which is a lot more common error in my writing...)

I liked it. :)

PS: Certain grammarians predict the imminent death of "fewer", as it is gradually being superseded by "less" in most modern writing.
 
After updating to the latest SVN version of the script with r12211 I get the following error during the caching of outfits:

Sticker 2: scratch 'n' sniff wrestler sticker (20)

Unrecognized keyword: elemental resistance

It's the maximizer throwing the error. Here is the string it is being handed:

Code: 
Elemental Resistance, switch Disembodied Hand

It seems that "Elemental Resistance" is not a valid choice. Is "all res" what should be there?

Edit:

Yes. Change line 420 to:

Code: 
maximize("all res" + maximize_familiar, false);

And it works as designed.


Another thing I just noticed is that now that Autobasement is looking at a wider range of possibilities for buffing stats the choices could use some tweaking. Here's an example:

To buff Moxie autobasement chose to use a Mer-Kin Cooljuice. That's fine.

The very next test was a Mysticality test. Mer-Kin Cooljuice imposes a drastic penalty on Mysticality and to overcome that Autobasement spent a lot of meat on Myst buffing potions, including a pressurized potion. The off-stat debuff of the juices is so drastic that I can see this resulting in an outright failure to pass the test at lower levels of the basement.

Another edit:

Seventy-some levels later Autobasement did uneffect the "Juiced" effect to pass a test.

Yet another edit:

Ouch. WHAM just used a BRICKO reactor to kill an x-dimensional horror on level 298. Saucegeyser is my normal go-to killer for that beastie. Off to edit WHAM_don'tuse.


Editing again:

You don't know the name of that demon.

I'm assuming it was trying to summon the demon using the name from the Strange Cube for a stat buff. That's one of the two demon names I haven't bothered to learn.

What's very strange is that all that was necessary to pass the test after all the buffs that preceded the failure was to cast Cannelloni Cocoon.

At that point I was WAY over-buffed with 13.5K HP when I needed:
Code: 
Putting on outfit: Gauntlet
Equipment changed.
You gain 9,328 hit points
Checkpoints cleared.

[2485] Fernswarthy's Basement (Level 352)
Maximum HP Test: 13,445 current, 39681 * 0.10 (1100 DA) = 3,968 needed
You lose 3,646 hit points

After three more failures of this type I looked more closely at each event. Autobasement seems, at least in this case, to consider what the max HP is. The Gauntlet outfit was successfully equipped and max HP was far greater than necessary to pass the test while current HP was less than needed.

A full heal was all that was needed to pass the test.


Any thoughts?


More editing:

Autobasement just spent an A.W.O.L and FDKOL commendation for buffs. How do we keep it from expending irreplaceable items? I'm closeting the currency for now.

Yet more editing:

I'm impressed. WHAM successfully handled combat until level 489.

I think I've fixed the overbuffing issue for the gauntlet. A wrongly placed calculation (outside the loop meaning it never updated and thus we never passed the test...).

I've also run into the issue with the demon name, and I can't see a way to avoid it. I guess a feature request to Mafia to not suggest demons if the associated preference is blank should be made.

I guess the BRICKO Reactor is an effect of WHAM_killit being set to true and WHAM thus promptly ignoring the 27k cost of the reactor...
 
I think there's a problem with the Travoltan Trousers.

This will run in an infinite loop until stopped manually. I can't figure out exactly what it's doing, but I think there's some interaction between the sugar shorts and the trousers.

I should mention that I also run Universal Recovery, but I don't think that's the problem because I only get the loop with autobasement.
 
You've told mafia to allow for changing gear on buffing and also that you want it to restore you to full health and/or mp. Changing gear to buy at a discount drops your health/mp to where it no longer heals with the prior level. This is a longstanding mafia FReq/Bug that was last touched upon... a year ago? More? Still hasn't gotten fixed, because it only affects people that cause this to themselves: having the travoltan trousers and poor healing decisions. :) Not an autoBasement bug in the slightest though. Nor an UR bug.
