Oh, right. I haven't played in a while!

I bought 5 chewing gums on a string and tried to find the sewers just now. Heh.

Thanks for your quick response and hardwork (Y)! I'm looking forward to the fix.

EDIT: another newbie question..

why is it that when I try to use 5 hair spray, kolmafia gives me this response? Same with soda water and fortune cookies, it's almost as if it does not realise that I have access to the market... I'm using r8803

> use 5 hair spray

You need 5 more hair spray to continue.

I have the settings to open the Ballroom to True like this:
Code:
//Set this to true if you want the script to do the Bedroom for you after the Bonerdagon, automatically 
opening up the ballroom. 
//If you have few skills, you may want to do this manually. 
bcasc_bedroom = true;

EDIT1:
Also, I am now halfway through lvl9 and no chef or bartender in a box yet. It seems the script did not even get the Fernswarthy's key from the cemetary, so no access to the Ruins and the brains. No beer lenses either, and yes it is set to True in the settings.

EDIT2:
I also wonder if it is optimal to skip getting the advanced cocktailcrafting kit and oven? Without them I cant even make reagent potions..
Btw, are those something that Mafia should get on its own as in "buying thinsg from an NPC to create the items"?

EDIT3: Just now after lvl9 i seem that the script have started to actually cast the buffs in the mood, such as the +noncombats etc. I'm no AT now so it is not due to access to MMJ.

The script gets tenders using clovers after the bonerdagon, by clovering the cemetary.

The script doesn't buy the advanced cocktail kit and oven, I should add that in.

The script will apply buffs if you're over level 9, have the KGE outfit or have over 5K meat or have over 100MP

Then I have a problem.
Code:
Level 7 Starting
BCC: We have completed the stage [manor2ndfloor].
BCC: We have completed the stage [cyrpt].
BCC: We have completed the stage [innaboxen].
I have manually done the innaboxes and opened the 2nd floor using another script, but the Bonerdagon is still alive and is shown as completed in the list.
Or is the Bonerdagon a separate flag? If so, I am about to start the lvl11 quest and Bonerdagon is still alive.
Safe Adventuring on the Wiki show the Haert to need 101 moxie though, and considering I have 180 buffed moxie atm, then even with ML+10 I should have no trouble taking down the bonerdagon, but the script dont seem to want to do it.

In 0.11, levelMe still appears to be broken when the goal is to hit a buffed level of moxie. "goal set +XXX moxie" just sets the goal for "0/0/0 substats" and adventures forever. Here's the fix:

Code:
boolean levelMe(int sMox, boolean needBaseStat) {
	[b]if (needBaseStat) {
		//print("Need to Level up a bit to get at least "+sMox+" base Moxie", "fuchsia");
		if (my_basestat($stat[Moxie]) >= sMox) {
			//print("It turns out I have enough base moxie anyway.");
			return true;
		}
	} else {
		cli_execute("maximize moxie");
		setMood("");
		cli_execute("mood execute");

		int extraMoxieNeeded = sMox - my_buffedstat($stat[Moxie]);
		//print("Need to Level up a bit to get at least "+sMox+" buffed Moxie. This means getting "+extraMoxieNeeded+" Moxie.", "fuchsia");
		sMox = my_basestat($stat[Moxie]) + extraMoxieNeeded;
		if (extraMoxieNeeded <= 0) {
			print("I had enough buffed moxie anyway.", "fuchsia");
			return true;
		}
	}
	cli_execute("goal clear; goal set "+sMox+" Moxie");[/b]

	if (have_effect($effect[Beaten Up]) > 0) {
		cli_execute("uneffect beaten up");
	}

You can manually set the settings/prefernces to false by using:
Code:
set bcasc_stage_cyrpt = 0 (or any number lower than your current ascensions)

Yeh just though that it might be the same issue as with the Goblin King, where the Complete flag is set before the boss is actually killed.

Here's an automatic mining function. I tested it a fair amount and just used it successfully on my current run. It's smart about Unaccompanied Miner and can also be called to burn teleportitis turns. (I have a patch for teleportitis too, but I'll post that separately.)

Code:
boolean bcascMining() {
	if (checkStage("mining")) return true;

	string trapper = visit_url("trapper.php");
	if (my_level() >= 8 && !contains_text(trapper, "I reckon 3 chunks")) {
		print("Looks like we're done mining.", "purple");
		checkStage("mining", true);
		return true;
	}

	string goalString = get_property("trapperOre");
	item goal = to_item(goalString);

	if (goal != $item[asbestos ore] && goal != $item[chrome ore] && goal != $item[linoleum ore])
		abort("Can't figure out which ore to look for.");

	// Seed ore locations with what mafia knows about.
	int[int] oreLocations;
	string mineLayout = get_property("mineLayout1");
	int start = 0;
	while (true) {
		int num_start = index_of(mineLayout, '#', start);
		if (num_start == -1) break;
		int num_end = index_of(mineLayout, '<', num_start);
		if (num_end == -1) break;
		int end = index_of(mineLayout, '>', num_end);
		if (end == -1) break;

		if (contains_text(substring(mineLayout, num_end, end), goalString)) {
			int spot = to_int(substring(mineLayout, num_start + 1, num_end));
			oreLocations[count(oreLocations)] = spot;
		}
		start = end;
	}

	boolean rowContainsEmpty(string mine, int y)
	{
		for x from 1 to 6 {
			if (contains_text(mine, "Open Cavern (" + x + "," + y + ")"))
				return true;
		}

		return false;
	}

	boolean canMine(string mine, int x, int y, boolean onlySparkly)
	{
		if (x < 0 || x > 7 || y < 0 || y > 7)
			return false;
		int index = x + y * 8; 
		boolean clickable = (index_of(mine, "mining.php?mine=1&which=" + index + "&") != -1);

		if (!clickable || !onlySparkly)
			return clickable;

		return contains_text(mine, "Promising Chunk of Wall (" + x + "," + y + ")");
	}

	int adjacentSparkly(string mine, int index)
	{
		int x = index % 8;
		int y = index / 8;

		if (canMine(mine, x, y - 1, true))
			return index - 8;
		if (canMine(mine, x - 1, y, true))
			return index - 1;
		if (canMine(mine, x + 1, y, true))
			return index + 1;
		if (canMine(mine, x, y + 1, true))
			return index + 8;
		return - 1;
	}

	int findSpot(string mine, boolean[int] rows, boolean[int] cols) {
		foreach sparkly in $booleans[true, false] {
			foreach y in cols {
				foreach x in rows {
					if (canMine(mine, x, y, sparkly))
						return x + y * 8;
				}
			}
		}
		return -1;
	}

	cli_execute("outfit mining");

	while (item_amount(goal) < 3) {
		if (my_hp() == 0) cli_execute("restore hp");
		string mine = visit_url("mining.php?intro=1&mine=1");

		if (contains_text(mine, "You can't mine without the proper equipment."))
			abort("Couldn't equip mining gear.");

		boolean willCostAdventure = contains_text(mine, "takes one Adventure.");
		if (have_skill($skill[Unaccompanied Miner]) && willCostAdventure && have_effect($effect[Teleportitis]) == 0 && my_level() < 12) {
			print("BCC: No more mining today.  I'll come back later.", "purple");
			return false;
		}
		if (my_adventures() == 0 && willCostAdventure) abort("No Adventures");

		int choice = -1;
		string why = "Mining around found ore";
		// Ore is always coincident, so look nearby if we've aleady found some.
		if (count(oreLocations) > 0) {
			foreach key in oreLocations {
				choice = adjacentSparkly(mine, oreLocations[key]);
				if (choice != -1)
					break;
			}
		}

		// Prefer mining the middle first.  It leaves more options.
		boolean[int] rows = $ints[3, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6];

		// First, try to mine up to the top four rows if we haven't yet.
		if (choice == -1 && !rowContainsEmpty(mine, 6)) {
			choice = findSpot(mine, rows, $ints[6]);
			why = "Mining upwards";
		} 

		if (choice == -1 && !rowContainsEmpty(mine, 5)) {
			choice = findSpot(mine, rows, $ints[5]);
			why = "Mining upwards";
		}
				
		// Top three rows contain most ore.  Fourth row may contain ore.
		// Prefer second row and digging towards the middle because it
		// opens up the most potential options.  This could be more
		// optimal, but it's not a bad heuristic.
		if (choice == -1) {
			choice = findSpot(mine, rows, $ints[2, 3, 1, 4]);
			why = "Mining top four rows";
		}

		// There's only four pieces of the same ore in each mine.
		// Maybe you accidentally auto-sold them or something?
		if (choice == -1 || count(oreLocations) == 4) {
			print("BCC: Resetting mine!", "purple");
			visit_url("mining.php?mine=1&reset=1&pwd");
			oreLocations.clear();
			continue;
		}

		print(why + ": " + (choice % 8) + ", " + (choice / 8) + ".", "purple");
		string result = visit_url("mining.php?mine=1&which=" + choice + "&pwd");
		if (index_of(result, goalString) != -1) {
			oreLocations[count(oreLocations)] = choice;
		}
	}

	if (have_effect($effect[Beaten Up]) > 0) cli_execute("unaffect beaten up");
	visit_url("trapper.php");

	checkStage("mining", true);
	return true;
}

Here's the changes to call it along with opening the goatlet. I check the return value from mining because it's smart about using Unaccompanied Miner and so may not have actually finished getting all the ore when it returns.

Code:
boolean bcascTrapper() {
	if (checkStage("trapper")) return true;

	visit_url("trapper.php");
	
	while (index_of(visit_url("trapper.php"), "reckon 3 chunks of") > 0) {
		if (i_a("miner's helmet") == 0 || i_a("7-Foot Dwarven mattock") == 0 || i_a("miner's pants") == 0) {
			bumAdv($location[Itznotyerzitz Mine], "", "hebo", "1 miner's helmet, 1 7-Foot Dwarven mattock, 1 miner's pants", "Getting the Mining Outfit", "", "consultHeBo");
			visit_url("trapper.php");
		}
		[b]if (!bcascMining())
			return false;[/b]
	}
	while (contains_text(visit_url("trapper.php"), "6 chunks of goat cheese")) {
		[b]// It's possible somebody could have opened this manually, but there's
		// no way to determine that before adventuring.
		if (!checkStage("opengoatlet")) {
			cli_execute("outfit mining");
			cli_execute("set choiceAdventure162 = 1");
			adventure(1, $location[Goatlet]);
			checkStage("opengoatlet", true);
		}[/b]

		cli_execute("friars food");

Change it so if I have a Dance Card counting down, that it will spend the 4th adv in the Ballroom and then continue with what it was doing, rather than aborting?

It would be too complicated to have it check for counters every time an adventure is spend. Do you use a counterScript?
 

Theraze

If you do have a counterScript, just make sure that it's doing !adventure instead of just adventure. If it's properly !adventuring, it should fail to abort when conditions aren't met after its one adventure.

Well, Mafia do keep track of it so I guess it would not be that hard, but I can see that it would be a lot of extra work from the script to after every adventure check every counter.

No, not using any such script. On the other hand, Don't Mafia already show this counter in the char pane? It show me the Semirare Window counter, it show me the dance card counter, etc.
 

Theraze

Active member
The point is that mafia's functionality for this is through using a counterScript, not by doing
PHP:
while (my_adventures() > 0) {
adventure(1, <current location);
if (counter("dance card", 0, 0) (!adventure(1, $location[haunted ballroom]));
if (condition met) break;
}

With a counter script active, you can just do
PHP:
adventure(my_adventures(), <current location>, conditions);
and it'll check your counters on each turn, before you adventure...

You need 5 more hair spray to continue.
This can happen if you do not have enough meat.

@tianshi - The hair spray thing is not having enough meat. I'm not particularly fussed about fixing that. Autosell some stuff and play manually for a while, get more meat, then crack on with the script.

@Ferdawoon - I'll keep an eye on the innaboxen thing, but haven't had it come up myself. The counters thing is beyond the scope of a script. I don't use, but have heard great things about, Bale's counterchecker script. Have a look.

@picklish - As always, thanks for your additions. I'm actually removing the unaccompanied miner part from your entry - as I'd like to do this all at once, and I tend to find the 5K meat makes things easier for later, but that's brilliant. I really hoped someone would write that part for me :D
 

picklish

Member
I don't find that I need the 5k meat at that point (usually because the 23k meat happens immediately afterwards) and there's no hurry to get the 6k meat for the wand before level 9. Rather than removing it, would you mind putting it behind an option instead?

It start well with equipping the didgeridooka, but afer the mood it go for the cane and boybottoms and other notverygood items.
After doing the Orchard manually with no problems, and starting the script again afterwards, it let me use a ranged weapon again.

EDIT2:
The lvl12 quest settings seem a bit funky.
I have
Code:
switch (my_name()) {
	case "Ferdawoon":
		bcasc_100familiar = "";
		bcasc_doWarAs = "frat";
		bcasc_doSideQuestArena = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestJunkyard = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestBeach = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestOrchard = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestNuns = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestDooks = true;
	break;
but it seems I had:
Code:
		//Indicate whether or not you want to do each of the sidequests.
		bcasc_doSideQuestArena = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestJunkyard = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestBeach = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestOrchard = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestNuns = false;
		bcasc_doSideQuestDooks = false;
	break;
Now, if the first setting say it should do all the sidequests, but the script go after what the 2nd setting says, why have the first there at all? Atm I am 768 Hippies through the Battlefield and no Nuns or Farm =S
Setting the 2nd setting to all True and restarting the script, It started the Nuns.
