SmartStasis -- a complex script for a simple CCS
- Thread starter zarqon
- Start date
Thanks muchly for the quick fix. A little Mafia restart after the new versions shows that the item/skill/int/name works now. Of course, I'll have to wait until tomorrow for BB (via zlib's check_ver()) to recognize that I'd rather not "upgrade BatBrain from 0.8.4 to 0.8.3" (even though I *tried* to edit my _prefs.txt file).
vars_tragus is the file you need to edit for that, not tragus_prefs.
Ummm, which zlib var in vars_tragus should I edit to let the world know I actually have the most current BatBrain? I note that the _version in tragus_prefs appears to get overwritten with "0.8.3" sometime after I try *that* edit.

That was aftercore so I had plenty of MP -- my restoration settings ensured it. I had even more MP after the burrowgrub was used. MP was not a problem. As for expected damage --- once again I'll plead aftercore.

Sorry tragus, I was wrong. Just checked zlib and it's actually in the prefs file... open it up, look for _version_batbrain=0.8.3 and change either remove it or change it to _version_batbrain=0.8.4 and you should be fixed up... Remember though that editing the prefs file works MUCH better when mafia is closed. Or use set_property (or a relay script) to do it...

The best way to do that as a CLI command is: set _version_batbrain =
That clears the setting so that BatBrain can realize it is up to date.
===================================
I just found something that SS does in the wrong order.
I set duct tape as a goal because otherwise it would not use rave concentration. Curiously, now it will use Rave Concentration and then use Rave Steal. this is funny because if it gets the duct tape from the Rave Steal then it had no need to use Rave Concentration. Shouldn't that be in the other order so that it can skip Rave Concentration if the steal is successful?

You reported this before, Bale. Making Rave Steal account for a 100% chance of an unconditional drop (rather than a normal pickpocket chance) is still on the to do list.
I've been thinking that there should be a tweak to item_val() -- prompted specifically by duct tape, in fact. In the case of duct tape, trophies and nice gear aside, at the least it can be made into duct tape wallets, which are quite profitable. However, item_val() evaluates duct tape -- a nontradeable item with no autosell value -- as worth 0. I think if an item can be made into a more valuable item, the ingredient should be considered as worth (createditemvalue/ingredientsnumber - cost of all other ingredients). But this gets into very convoluted territory -- making items sometimes takes adventures, sometimes not, and those are situationally valuable. Plus, knowing whether making something is going to take an adventure is ugly to code and would involve user preferences about using Inigo's or installing servants.
I'm thinking presently to ignore the cost of crafting (leave that to the user to figure out after getting the item, since BatBrain is certainly not going to be actually creating items). More excitingly, the same tweak could be made to ZLib's has_goal() -- if an item is an ingredient of a goal, it should count as 1/goalitemingredientcount of a goal. I'll have to foreach over all items in the game to figure this out though, ugh.
This would also mean -- even more so than currently -- that in order to get the most out of SS you really need to have the "share mall prices" option clicked, since mall_price() is not available in combat and it's unlikely that you would have searched a bunch of items in the mall prior to starting your combats for the day. I'll add something to that effect to the first post.
I also meant to update check_version() with StDoodle's crazy "integer > integer means OK" tweak but haven't gotten around to it yet. In the meantime, you'll need to edit your _prefs file when this happens, as was pointed out above.

I have a question. I'm a Turtle Tamer with a shield and sufficient muscle to adventure safely. I'm curious why SS is using clobber which costs 1 MP instead of toss which uses 0 MP or a seal-tooth which would stasis better because it does less damage:
Code:

This would seem to impose a new version description format on scriptwriters. Unless I am completely misunderstanding the code, it currently would work if I called my version "Beta" and then chose to update it to "1.0". Perhaps rephrasing the message so it says that "You are running version Beta but version 1.0 is hosted at kolmafia.us"? That says nothing about which one is newer.
Since the calling script passes its self identification to check_version I wonder if an alternative might be to compare the passed version to the property. If they are not the same then there is clearly something going on. Under the circumstances I would override the property with the passed value before doing any checking against kolmafia.us. That is because I consider the version information embedded in the script to be more authoritative than the version contained in the property. Indeed, as near as I can tell, the only reason for the property is to limit the version checking to once a day so that it doesn't annoy people who refuse to update (for sometimes valid reasons).

@frono: If and when I do change check_version(), rest assured no functionality would be removed. In cases like this where one integer simply advanced, it would simply not put up a fuss if the version in the property appears to be older. If the version name changed entirely, the current behavior would remain.
@Bale: Please include the little profit per round table in your CLI results. That is there for all of us.
You're asking a question which you're nearly as qualified to answer. To stasis, SS sorts your actions by profit, and then by -damage. So, which actions do the least damage? Then, of those, which one is the most profitable? Is it at least BatMan_profitforstasis profitable? If so, it will perform that action.
If there are superior actions which are skipped, then somehow BatBrain is being misinformed. First, is the action you think to be superior listed correctly in the data file? Second, is the inferior action listed correctly? If it's not in that file, SS won't know it exists. If that checks out, is anything wonky with your meatperhp/mp values? If UR somehow set your meatpermp to 0, for instance, SS thinks all your skills are free to cast!
What I'm saying here is basically that I have far too little information to answer this question.

I can't just add "hippy" to the ftf_yellow zlib variable ... can I? I usually (I'm lazy) yray the first *hippy I come to after I open the island for the hippy disguise, and then when I go to start the war, I usually just wanna yray the first hippy I come to in the hippy camp for the war outfit.
I'll test the war hippy outfit once I get there, but I figured I'd ask.

Ahem, with BB 0.8.4 and virtually the same environment as I reported above, I now get gCLI output as:
My minibrowser shows the error:
Skill #7021 is, of course, "Ask Richard for a Bandage" -- which is available and usable manually.
I thought things were working for a day or so, but now this is quite repeatable.

I found the problem in Batfactors!
Code:
skill 1022 Clobber 0 physicalAccording to the wiki it deals damage, according to this formula:
[(10% to 20% of Weapon Power + 0 to 1) or 1 if barehanded ] + ceiling(sqrt(Bonus Weapon Damage)) + ceiling(sqrt(Bonus Hot Damage)) + ceiling(sqrt(Bonus Cold Damage)) + ceiling(sqrt(Bonus Stench Damage)) + ceiling(sqrt(Bonus Spooky Damage)) + ceiling(sqrt(Bonus Sleaze Damage))
I haven't figured out how to express that for batfactors yet.
