BatBrain -- a central nervous system for consult scripts

[zarqon]

Edit: Also, what does the first and second field of the monster-part in batfactors actually mean? And man is it annoying to add a new monster when they are sorted alphabetically, meaning you need to update all the index numbers after the one you're adding... (I intended to add the bat in the spat which is why the noskills predicate came up)

Did you read the batfactors ("ashwiki batfactors") Wiki page? I wrote a new section for the monsters category when I updated the format.

Also, you don't need to maintain alphabetical order. I did just for the transition, which took a lot of time (I entered everything in random order, then wrote a tiny ASH script to load the file into a map and then and resave it), but I kind of figured further edits would be chronological rather than alphabetical. On my last update of batfactors for r8 (which already added the Bat in Spats?), I just put the new monsters at the end.

A while back there was a discussion about to_int(data type with no clear integer association). It led to those functions being removed from ASH. This would be a case where, though the integer association is meaningless, it would provide us with a handy method of organizing data. But if we want it we'll have to write our own, which would probably involve either a data file or a gigantic switch statement, since any simple programmatic method will lead to numbers changing when monsters are added.

Something is still "off" in BatBrains/WHAMs handling of The Thorax. It went to WHAMs round limit and the combat was unwinnable.
I had enough clumsiness bark to win.

Maybe just bad RNG with how often The Thorax drew back to punch. I'll give it another try and see what happens.

For reference: KoL will let you encounter The Thorax even if you don't have enough clumsiness barks to win the combat. If you have less than ten in inventory it's best to walk away. Eight or nine might be enough to win but with ten it seems to be a sure thing.

Edit: Third time around BatBrain/WHAM handled The Thorax.

Using a fishy wand gives this error:

@Magus: The latest SmartStasis update ought to help out with The Thorax, as well as most other Dis monsters. I'd be interested to know if it uses the skills to farm extra items as well, or if I need to add some code to help persuade it to do that. Also, can you really cast both divine and arcane spells?

@Gawea: it seems the wand has been spaded a bit since I last looked at it -- now it says it only works underwater, so I just changed that keyword to zone(sea).

 

[Magus_Prime]

SmartStasis isn't but WHAM is using the appropriate "Dis" spells. Not sure what you mean by both divine and arcane spells? Dungeons & Dragons reference? It's been a LONG time.

Both The Thorax and The Bat in the Spats was successfully handled by BatBrain/SmartStasis/WHAM although it was almost at the round limit before The Thorax was beaten.

The Terrible Pinch and Thug 1 and Thug 2 were handled without issue.

Mammon the Elephant was handled without issue

The Large-Bellied Snitch was handled but used 13 dangerous jerksicles when only 10 are needed. Here's the combat:

A better strategy would be to use 10 dangerous jerksicles, funkslinging if possible, then plink until The Snitch impales himself.

This is a HUGE improvement. Thank you!

[Bale]

I've got a problem. I believe it is the fault of BatBrain, not WHAM, but I cannot be sure. It keeps trying to enqueue my V for Vivala mask after each attack. The result of this is that when WHAM tells me that it is undertaking a series of actions that includes attack, the macro will end with the first attack in that sequence, despite the purple text.

I used svn dec to reduce BatBrain, SmartStasis and WHAM to their state before the big "custom" keyword update. I figured that would be safe. That works, but I'm hoping this will be a simple fix so I can update them again.

 

[Winterbay]

WHy is the mask merged in together with the normal attack like that? I do not have a mask so may miss some integral feature of it, but it looks a bit odd to have that chosen as one integral action...

 

[Bale]

WHy is the mask merged in together with the normal attack like that?

Because it is a bug.

It makes absolutely no sense at all since the mask is NOT an action. Though now it is listed in batfactors as gear. I wonder why gear can get listed in opts.

 

[Winterbay]

Well it gets added on line 1105 but I'm not in any way sure why it needs to be there since the action "attack" being performed does not in any way get enhanced by the Mask it is the effect of a potential crit that gets enhanced.

That would be a batfactors problem I'd say.try running wham on verboaity 9to get a hint on what formula it is trying to evaluate.

 

[zarqon]

Several Updates!

Here's what happened in the last three SVN updates.

r10

• BatBrain now ignores profit from deleveling by default in to_profit(). Profit from deleveling is a look-ahead sort of profit, which BatBrain doesn't do for anything else, and secondly, for simulating an entire combat, the profit from deleveling would be double-counted. Although avoiding this issue creates others, they are issues a calling script can work out.
• Torment Plant, Pinch Ghost, and Tattle each produce an item the first time they are called against Dis monsters which drop that particular item.
• As discussed, just like the Bonerdagon, the Sorceress also does not destroy blocked items anymore, so don't consider the cost of multi-usable items against her.

r11

• Both The Landscaper and Vanya's Creature have non-stat-related damage formulae. Account for those in m_regular().
• Yellow rays were not always correctly flagged as "custom", so it appears that BatBrain was correctly delaying its automatic response casting, however it was then turning around and recommending YR as a stasis action (it is usually quite profitable to automatically get all the items, after all). I have crossed my fingers hoping that the latest tweak finally fixes yellow raying for fxer and whoever else may benefit from that functionality.
• With thanks to the friendly warnings, fix all the incomplete names for things so that we can see the end of them.

r12

• When merging advevents, non-action events (any event that doesn't use up a round, such as your familiar event, the monster event, the retaliation event, the critical event, etc.) should not have their ID's merged with action events. This can lead to the issue reported by Bale. It only recently manifested because I removed the code setting ID's to empty strings, figuring that more information is what the script is all about. This fix retains our superior information without breaking.

Enjoy!

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is something on my end but I keep getting this error now whenever I go to use a combat macro with 'consult SmartStasis.ash' in it.

Bad location value: "the battlefield (frat uniform)" (BatBrain.ash, line 914)
Consult script 'SmartStasis.ash' not found.
You're on your own, partner.

Any ideas? is it just the name thats wrong or is something odd happening on my end?
I tried taking out 'the' but it just spat out some other location errors like the penultimate fantasy airship etc.

[atrak]

Ah thanks, figured it would be something simple and my fault ;-)

 

[morgad]

That would be a batfactors problem I'd say.try running wham on verboaity 9to get a hint on what formula it is trying to evaluate.

I will try that on Thurday at the end of the new run. I was getting the error in multiple location that worked ok in-run, and failed in aftercore.
is WHam verbosity seperate from zlibs (I already had verbosity at 9 for the bug report)

best regards
Dave

 

[zarqon]

You need verbosity 10 to start printing formulas being evaluated. It will still skip formulas that are just numbers unless you set it to verbosity 11, but that's probably almost never necessary. Certainly not in this case as the erroneous formula evidently includes punctuation.

Tried it the last 2 days, but no luck it still yellow rays before puttying :/

using batbrain r12, smartstasis r5

 

[evilspoons]

edit: never mind. I had my WHAM roundcost set to a stupid value that just happened to work with my previous equipment, but the island war frat uniform made it too 'expensive' to use normal spells. Fixed the value, everything seems ok.
