@MHoP: Thanks! Give it a try in-run; I've found it to be a huge timesaver -- I'm free to spend more time scripting! (?)
@frono: You give me an interesting idea. Perhaps, if you have not used your noodles for the fight yet, SS could do that as its final action before handing off the combat to the rest of your CCS? The conditions of use would be:

- You have Noodles available.
- You can't one-shot the monster with your regular attack (being able to read the next CCS action would be sweet here).
- You have a chance of getting beaten up in the next few rounds.
OR
It is projected to be profitable -- min(3,monsterkillrounds) monster attacks would cost you more in HP loss than the MP cost of Noodles.

Maybe instead I'll nag Theraze or someone else who knows how to spin mafia patches to make a patch adding bounty info to the proxy records -- especially considering the format was already suggested by Veracity. The proxy record feature requests are already second-page material, so who knows when the devs will have time to get through to those? As I'm aware, priority is given to a) things which personally affect the devs' gameplay, and b) saving server hits. This doesn't match either of those. 
As a bribe, I promise to post an updated bounty-hunting script right away.
I'd look into doing it myself but I'm afraid that after taking the not inconsiderable time needed to brush up on Java and familiarize myself with the mafia source, I might start to blur the line between mafia and ASH -- if I couldn't fix it in ASH I'd fix it in mafia, and then people would have to be using my patches to be able to run my scripts. That seems somehow dangerous.
Interesting Side Note
This script has very recently established itself in my mind as "my best script." For quite a long time, I considered my clan's treasury script to be the best I'd written, and it's still pretty friggin' nifty, but I believe it has finally been eclipsed. Years in the making, SS 3.0 is an accomplishment I feel pretty dang proud of. I'm so proud of it I don't even give a tangle of rat tails about ending sentences with prepositions. Or using sentence fragments. oR caPITaLizAtioN wTf

CCS, combat macros and consult scripts are all mafia features that I am content to know very little about and use sub-optimally.

Unfortunately not certain of how it would be implemented... if it's just a matter of having the file in the 'data' folder when it compiles, that's easy... if it's a matter of actually changing the systems, that would involve everyone using a different system for non-override bounties.

"It's a completely different kind of combat script!"
(Surely I wasn't the only one who wanted to say that?)

This aborts on the positive effect "Squirming Like a Toad" in addition to the intended negative effect "Toad In The Hole"
I am still getting a CLI full of "Evaluator syntax error: unexpected end of expr" when using the hatrack and Spooky Putty mitre,

Thanks lazy_fire, I think these should be fixed now. I wasn't checking for hats that don't do anything. Also included the cost of player death in calculating action profit, and don't include HP/MP which will be regenerated. Also reworked macro() slightly due to a suggestion by Bale.
I haven't forgotten. I've just been Really Busy with my Job recently.The proxy record feature requests are already second-page material, so who knows when the devs will have time to get through to those?

The issue with the bounties is that we have a couple of internal maps regarding bounties, and with some effort, the location -> bounty item proxy fields are doable, but the item -> bounty location fields require a new data structure - and if I'm going to do that, I don't really like ANY of the internal bounty data structures, so it's time to refactor, so, it's not just a quick little "patch".
I'll try to get to it on Monday (at the earliest), but if I don't, it will be the following week...

No worries and no Pressure intended -- I was just explaining that this upcoming mafia change will obsolete any efforts I may make to fix the bounty bug, since once that is done I can use proxy records rather than a map file. I am excited to streamline that part of my script, but there's no hurry.
And if it saves you time, I don't actually think the item => bounty location field is necessary. If location => bountyitem and location => bountyamount are available, then all of the information about bounties is available.

First of all, thanks for this script. As a long-time fan of your scripts, I agree that this probably is your best work.
I've been babysitting a low-skill account, and it keeps dying due to slimeling starfishing. Problem is, the slimeling isn't even fed, so there's no point to draw out the combats. Would it be possible to see if the slimeling (and by extension spirit hobo and GGG) are running on empty, and to modify expected profit accordingly? Or perhaps treat them differently altogether. Sorry, I come bearing problems, rather than solutions.
