bumcheekcend.ash - A zero setup semi-automated ascension script!

[illarion]

First, let me say I love this script, with a deep and abiding passion. It allows me to do something useful with my character in the frequent periods when RL doesn't allow me time to play, leaving me free to concentrate on an occasional real speed attempt, with the prep and skill-acquiring runs handled for me.

So please take my thoughts as constructive criticism, not whining! Also please note that I have interfered somewhat, running the odd bit manually when I didn't like what the script was doing, so this may well have affected the order things happened in and so on.

1 - Although I only had one useful accessory (shiny ring), the script chose to get the crown rather than the cape from the goblin king. The cape's moxie would have been far more useful.

2 - The script chose to do the 8-bit, followed immediately by the friars. It did (sensibly, given that I still had On the Trail on) choose not to do the Neck first, as I normally would - but I presume it would have gone there once the Elbow and Heart were complete, potentially missing sniffing Hellions (with attendant food problems).
Looking at the script, it seems like this is partially just bad luck (that I happened to hit L6 exactly then), but you do choose to delay the 8-bit until very late due to the transfunctioner. Assuming Madrigal and a Curdflinger, I'm not sure this is necessary.

3 - I don't actually have a better suggestion, save manually opening the Ballroom, but I wince every time I see it burning adventures in the Hidden Temple. It might be overkill, but I'd consider sewer levelling if a Sauceror/with Bander, or with appropriate skills and stickers. I do realise you're not aiming for optimal here though.

4 - It seems very keen on Mojomuscular. Don't get me wrong, it's a great skill - but when I have enough base MP to cast Ode/Olfaction, and no source of mp regen - shrugging Sonata while doing the Friars to cast Mojo is probably not ideal

I had more, but they've either slipped my mind, or been corrected in recent revisions (I started on 0.5) Will post more if they come back to me.

Anyway, awesome script, and huge thanks for writing it!

I guess that's an alias you have.

You should maybe throw some other handling for having a full 3 songs already just in case. It may also be worth having some more intelligent mood handling to make sure that aborts elsewhere doesn't lead to mood creep where more and more stuff builds up which never got deleted due to aborts. At one point today I was both casting and uneffecting Cantata/Sonata.

 

[bumcheekcity]

The script just aborted on me while trying to do the trapper quest. It seems to have forgotten that you need to use the miner's outfit for one turn at the goatlet and thus couldn't get anywhere. The abort message was probably not the most clear.

I'm pretty certain this isn't a problem with the script.

This script is amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with it in the future, but it is already fantastic.

Yes, it is. This statement will be immediately disproved by the number of bugs appearing below.

I cant help but notice that the post is turning out to be really, really long. Srry 'bout that. not sure what the custom is on this forum, to make one big post or to make many smaller.

While going for the three quest items at the f'c'le I got this (pardon the really long text, just want to be sure I dont miss anything that might be important to troubleshoot it):

It have now cast and removed Sonata between each adventure after that.
Not to mention, the buffing have cost me around 10k meat in Soda Waters today and I have spent 31adv so far..

EDIT: Also, atm the script is maintaining both Sonata of Sneakiness and Musk of the Moose, which kinda negates each other. A misstake somewhere where it was ment to use both +combat or both + non-combat buffs maybe?

The buff thing will be fixed in 0.9. It IS a problem with going from + to - combat or vice versa.

EDIT2: apparently, I already had the items I needed as well, as once I decided to check my Inventory, I had two of the items already and when I used them I got the fledges. It seems I stopped the script while it was using the three items and it only got to use one, and when i restarted it it thought one item was missing and started to adventure for it again.

The script doesn't do that, it just uses mafia to work out whether you've used the items or not. It's not even a mafia error, it's a problem that it can't know whether you've used the items or not.

EDIT3:When checking for the keys, it check them all 3 times, and is making 12 skeleton keys really needed? Sure, usefull in the daily dungeon I guess..
The world peace at the end is not my doing, the script aborted on its own.

I just did a restart of the script, and it keep aborting at the same place, after checking for a wand, the fledges after checking the keys 3 times in a row.

It dont seem to keep track of the skeleton keys it just created, and it dont check for teeth before the script abort as it did the first time.

Manually doing the Daily Dungeon, the CLI show me a World Peace after each and every adventure though. Lets see what happen if I run the script before and after a restart of KoLMafia..

I'm not able to replicate this error. Did it happen after a mafia restart? And the skeleton bone and loose teeth are useless outside of keys anyway, so it doesn't matter.

EDIT4: When starting the Giant Castle during lvl10 quest, add a checker to make sure that the choice adventure for the wheel is set to Map Position (via Moxie).
Also, just struck me that I should mention, the script no longer add and shrug off Sonata of Sneakiness =)
Is it possible to let the gear optimizer check if it can create something useful from the trapzor skins if I have Armorcraftiness?

I'll check for the wheel/moxie thing in 0.9. And no. They can be created yourself and then the script will automatically equip them if they add more moxie.

EDIT5:When it want to go to the Ballroom to levelup for me to handle the Castle (Mafia say I have 100% hit and 100% Evade though so dunno why), that zone appears to be closed, and the script abort rather than to try to open it. Restarting the script yield the same result.

I solved it by getting Serum of Sarcasm, but now I got into the Hole in the Sky while under the effect of the serum. Now that it have run out, I take 35;ish hits per round. Add a "Will I survive" checker when an effect is lost? Or will that be too spammy? =S

The script will unlock the ballroom in 0.9.

EDIT6: When leveling in the Ballroom (at least I think that is what it was doing, it kept looking for Dance cards) I ran out of adventures and got stuck in some infinite loop. I cant find out what happened earlier as the whole CLI history is filled with this:

If you're out of adventures, it can't do anything, so it's not that much to be worried about.

lolwut?

Also, after this it refused to switch familiars from the hebo despite having the effect "everything looks yellow." And the script knew that everything was yellow, because it told me so in every round of combat.

Also also, I'm pretty sure that high-skill characters, like myself, can get enough +item that the ketchup hound is a 100% drop. Maybe it should be an option to force it with +item instead of the hebo?

I have absolutely no idea why it would do that. Genuinely. And it will continue to use the HeBoulder regardless of whether you're under the Yellow effect, because it's too much effort to change it. It'll remain he-boulder though, THEN items.

1) Weird. It shouldn't do that. I actually always kill the GK manually for the +7Mox boost early on.
2) Yeah, that's the order. You should be out of blooper olfaction by the time you're getting the margarita. I don't struggle with hellion bits.
3) Yeah, the temple sucks. I'll use the barrr from 90+moxie, but it'll be temple before then.
4) It'll cast mojo until level 6 and then stop in 0.9.

I hit the problem with the goats myself in 0.8 and fixed it in 0.9. And I fixed the alias. And the mood thing.

There is something really weird with yellow ray handling around the Palindome.

My last try, salient points:
1) Trying to make a pumpkin bomb since I must be on a 100% run (I'm not) and then using the HeBo anyway.
2) Changing its mind about the monsters being right or wrong
3) Not changing off the Hebo once the ray has been shot. Really, it should never have your Hebo out when you have "Everything looks yellow".

[picklish]

This is fabulous. Out of curiosity, do you use any public source control repository for your scripts (e.g. github) or is this the only place you post them?

I only ask because being able to automatically pull the latest version makes it so much easier to stay up to date, rather than having to come back to the forum thread and manually download scripts.

Keep up the great work. <3

 

[picklish]

Also, I just started a new ascension, and the script spent all 40 adventures in the outskirts of the knob, despite getting the encryption key within a few turns. Is that to be expected or was there something I needed to do before running the script?

 

[bumcheekcity]

This is the only place you'll find them. And that certainly isn't to be expected. You're the first person to have reported that particular bug :S

I would definitely recommend watching the script while it executes, by the way.

I'm not up to coding at the moment (too many things going on today to unravel it myself -- though I did take a look at that section of code...I also didn't search too thoroughly to see whether this problem has been encountered before)... On the upside, it is a different problem than before!

I'm getting rid of the Cyrus way. I can't figure out the logic. It'll be GMoB from 0.9 onwards.

 

[Theraze]

Should just be some form of:

      if (item_amount($item[empty agua de vida bottle]) > 0 || contains_text(visit_url("questlog.php?which=2"),"Primordial Fear")) return false;
      if (item_amount($item[memory of some delicious amino acids]) == 0) {
         set_property("choiceAdventure349","3");           // swim down
         obtain(1,"memory of some delicious amino acids",$location[primordial soup]);
      }
      if (use(1,$item[memory of some delicious amino acids])) {}
      set_property("choiceAdventure349","1");              // swim up
      if (get_property("cloverProtectActive" == "false") && retrieve_item(1,$item[ten-leaf clover])) {}
      obtain(3,"memory of some delicious amino acids",$location[primordial soup]);  // get acids/unlock the zone
      if (use(3,$item[memory of some delicious amino acids])) {}
      if (!obtain(1,"choiceadv",$location[primordial soup])) return false;  // fight Cy
      return (get_property("flyeredML").to_int() > 9999);

That's a tweakish version of the Cyrus test from Wossname...

For the record: I hate the GMOB at the moment
Or rather my bad luck. I got 1 gmob calling today in ~190 adventures but 25 don't hold a grudge and 19 having a medicine ball. Annoying is the word for that, however I don't think we can blame the script for that.

That said: If the player has managed to for some reason collected an antique hand mirror could the fight with the gmob take this into account?
I've changed my script with the following, but I'm not very familiar with combat filters so...

if (bcasc_doWarAs == "frat") 
{
	if(item_amount(to_item("antique hand mirror")) == 0)
		return "item rock band flyers";
	else
		return "item rock band flyers;item antique hand mirror";
} else
{
	if(item_amount(to_item("antique hand mirror")) == 0)
		return "item jam band flyers";
	else
		return "item jam band flyers;item antique hand mirror";
}

Having a Medicine Ball is the adventure where you should be saying Guy Made of Bees, so RNG is not the issue.

Maybe at runtime you should have it read the mafia "buy from NPC stores" preference and whine if it's off. It would stop a lot of the error reports you're getting.

edit: Gremlin stasis seems to only work for one round -

The gremlins would probably benefit from a bespoke maximize command and mood too - casting Absorption and/or Pointiness if you have them, and the maximize focussing more on DA/DR/HP than Moxie. Forcing MCD=0 might be nice too.

 

[Ferdawoon]

I just completed all Island sidequests up to, and including, the Orchard, but the script did not complete the Arena. I only killed the GmoB and went on to the next sidequest.
In the Battlefield I killl 8 hippies per adventure and the Island had no big red F on it. Once I clicked the Arena and handed it in, it got marked as completed with the F and I now kill 16 hippies per adventure.

I also got this problem when I wanted the script to do the Nuns:

BCC: Starting SideQuest 'orchard'
Maximizing...
648 combinations checked, best score 205.0
BCC: Starting SideQuest 'nuns'
BCC: doSideQuest(Nuns)
BCC: Your familiar is set to a 100% stocking mimic
You don't have a stocking mimic for a familiar.

and at this point the script abort instead of using another familiar boosting Meat. After checking the script now I see that I got that setting when I edited the case-setting for the IsleWar

switch (my_name()) {
	case "ferdawoon":
		bcasc_100familiar = "";
		bcasc_doWarAs = "frat";
		bcasc_doSideQuestArena = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestJunkyard = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestBeach = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestOrchard = true;
		bcasc_doSideQuestNuns = false;
		bcasc_doSideQuestDooks = false;
	break;

Probably best that you kill the boss yourself. I've taken the liberty of turning in all the war gear for you.

I noticed that it did not say that it got me any items so I went to the Coin Masters window in Mafia and all the items were greyed out as they are when I do not have enough quarters and the list of items for me to sell was empty. I checked the KoLMafia list of my inventory for quarters and found nothing, so I manually went to the Frat House to check and I still had all the hippy items. Apparently the script only make KoLMafia think that it have sold the items when in reality it have not sold anything.

We do not have all the items for the gates. This script cannot yet get them.

First, what is this dod item? I assume Dungeon of Doom but as the other items are named properly, do the same with the DoD potion?
Also, how come it can not get the items? The script got me the wand so I have Dungeon of Doom opened, I have the Junkyard adventurable and I don't see why I should be prevented from adventuring at the South of the Border. Manually adventuring in each 3 zones work fine.

The bat hole logic can get stuck in an infinite loop. If I don't have enough myst to equip the air freshener, then it won't let me adventure in guano junction, and it just loops infinitely trying to use a clover.

Having a Medicine Ball is the adventure where you should be saying Guy Made of Bees, so RNG is not the issue.

Hmm... There are three settings in the Mafia tab for choice adventures when it comes to the bathroom. One for the grudge-one, one containing a lot of different options for the medicine ball and one for the GMOB. The GMOB was set, by the script, to "say guy made of bees" and the medicine ball was set to "skip adventure". Did these two in conjunction somehow make me miss out on this?
And if so, how did it manage to say the name once?

 

[Theraze]

No clue how it said the name once, but according to http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/The_Haunted_Bathroom you should have had the medicine ball set to GMOB as well as the GMOB option...
