telescope question

on my latest run I noticed the lack of stage and item reporting from the telescope routine

> ******************
> Ascending Starting
> ******************
> Doing a check for Telescope Items
> BCC: We have not completed the stage [lair0].
> BCC: You haven't completed the stage '' for the for telescope part 1

it turns out this is due to the following in BCA-0.34 (boolean bcascTelescope() )
//telescope["an armchair"] = new lair("Hidden City", "", "pygmy pygment", "macguffinhiddencity");


there are about 10 telecope[] lines comented out, does anyone have any idea why? (Is it due to BCA not being able to auto adventure there?)

uncomenting it gives the expected result
> BCC: You haven't completed the stage 'macguffinhiddencity' for the pygmy pygment for telescope part 1
but I do not want to uncoment if if there was a reason for disabling it.

best regards

The reason is that some of those are hard to script easily for and it is thus easier to leave those up to the player. The Hidden City for example is a problem because autoadventuring in the hidden city after it is finished takes you to the last square you used, which is quite often the temple and thus nothing happens.

Yeah, what Winterbay said. I couldn't be arsed to script the few of them that were a bit more complicated as I don't use the feature myself.

I have only been using it for the last week.
I have half an idea for a simple dummy wrapper function, will see if I can get it to work ready for 0.36/0.37

Random question, is there a particular setup that should be in the outfit "bumcheekascend"? I understand that it can be anything, but what is it's purpose (ie. +meat, +adventures, etc.?

I have only been able to test with one telecope piece. It would be nice to know it does the right thing for people with bigger telescopes (and no telecope)
the idea is just to display what is the missing item and where to get it, where the old code displayed nothing, not to backfarm stuff that was not backfarmed already.

The script hit a milestone for me today. It completed it's first 4 day run (975 turns). I manually played the first two turns and did most of the level 13 quest to make use of runaways and such for a little back farming. But other than that, the script did the rest. AWESOME!!

BCC, you should be proud! This script is pretty amazing.

I'm not sure if this is Universal_Recovery or bccascend, but I have two problems:
- bccascend stops and says "Cannot restore MP because fizzy invigorating tonic is disabled!" while I'm already short on meat and using that would be stupid
- it won't use the clan sofa (yeah, I've thoroughly given up on optimality, there)

any chance you can help?

Cheers,

Edit: now I realize that I've been repeatedly beaten up because I have the default "combat script" that is "attack and repeat".
I have no experience with mafia custop combat script and couldn't find the right stuff in the ccs forum (it's probably there, but I wouldn't be able to recognize it).

I don't want to be ungrateful or anything, but could you please remove that "zero setup" mention in the thread title? It frustrates me even more as I struggle to set it up... :-/

Are you moxie? I'm going back to pretty much a moxie-only script since the Valhalla change. This script DOES ascend a zero-skill no-IOTMs moxie character in HCNP with zero setup. I tested 0.33 with a new character for that purpose.

If you get beaten up, check your HP amd MP setting in Mafia. After each ascension, remember that it reset to never restoring HP.

Also, if you do not have any HP or MP restoratives set in the list in Mafia, it will use whatever it can.

I have a few questions. I'm sorry if they've been answered previously or are just really stupid, but it's too much to read through all those posts.

I started using this script for a new character I just made, muscle class (cause i didn't know this was mostly for moxie-classes).
Why does it keep on running away from battles? Plus, it also keeps on adventuring in places that are far too dangerous for me right now.
As of right now, it's stuck trying to enter the pirate's cove even though I don't have enough base stat to enter the place. It won't do much else.
I thought it based adventuring off of safe moxie.

Also, if I don't run it as HC, does it buy items when I need to use them?

I'm a pastamancer. Did you change things that make the script less usable as Myst than it used to be?
The restore problem is due to an excessive need for restores, because of getting beaten up so much.
I'm pretty sure that a decent custom combat script would allow the script to get through this. What do people use?

Also, I'm guessing the script won't manage Flavour in any way, right?
