Are you using the most recent version of BatBrain? That was a bug zarqon fixed at the beginning of the month... the entire round was calculated as a single unit, rather than healing happening first. If BatBrain is incorrectly calculating how much damage the hobos will do to you on average, that would be a BatBrain bug (or miscalculation) as well...

In theory. I DL'd BatBrain on 18 Jan. It identifies itself as 1.30 and I am pretty sure I am using the Zarqon version and not the WHAM fork. If it really shapes up to be the cause I'll get latest versions of every BatBrain and my diff utility to verify my source.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to do a verbosity 9 or 11 hobo combat log where it's trying to heal (fine to abort, just important to see the downward spiral) and then it should probably get posted in the BatBrain thread, since miscalculations in it are things for zarqon to magic away. :)

Edge case, but...

SS keeps allowing me to get beat up. Level 94, never ascended Pastamaster in Hobopolis. Hovering Sombrero. I had switched to using WHAM (which includes SS) in Crimbo because of unknown and scaling monsters. SS decides I need HP. It casts Lasagna Bandages. Hobo hits me. Repeat until Hobo beats me up or SS gives up and I one shot the hobo. Problem is that bandages restore double digit amounts of HP but getting hit inflicts triple digit amounts of damage. So I am losing more than I gain. The irony of this is that I can pretty much one shot anything and can cast Cocoon outside of combat and so in a global sense there is almost no reason to stasis at all.

I can almost certainly run at a requested verbosity if this is worthy of investigation.
Click to expand...
Is it possible that BatBrain is underestimating the damage done by Hobo? One way to detect that is to look at how many round WHAM thinks you'll survive compared to how long you really do survive. Some of the Hobo's have special attacks which might not be counted. I've been having the problem with the frustrating knight's special attack, which is, well, frustrating.

BatBrain doesn't know anything about elemental hobo special attacks, nor does it have an accurate number for regular hobos -- back when I looked into that I couldn't find any spading for that anywhere. I was farming the Town Square for nickels at the time and added a complete guess for normal hobos (10% of your maxhp per round), but BatBrain views all the elemental hobos as having no special attack at all, which would certainly affect its view of your survivability. If you have a suggestion as to a number for elemental hobo special attack damage/rate, I'll be happy to add that in. For now I'll just include elemental hobos in the normal hobo special attack code, which is inaccurate but better than nothing.

ETA: I'll add the frustrating knight's special attack too. Every round? That does sound quite frustrating.

ETAA: As I was adding these just now, I found a really nasty bug that crept in there when converting HP to be represented as a spread. In die_rounds(), BatBrain was only considering physical damage, not elemental damage. Update posted.

@frono: When BatBrain configures itself for your particular monster, it also displays the monster stats in the CLI at verbosities of 5 or higher, and the line for monster attack ought to be particularly handy here ("X% x Y damage, death in Z rounds"). What was it saying for you?

3.17 Double Post Update

I'm happy to finally announce support for copying monsters using black boxes and 4-d cameras, not just putty. SS will make the decision to copy using the same logic as previously, but if all available daily putties are used (or you don't have putty), it will move on to using your available black boxes. Finally, if you set the new ZLib setting cameraPutty to true (default is false), SS will also consider throwing a 4-d camera if you are out of putty and boxes for the day.

SS will only use one copy item per fight, since in most cases you will want to fight the monster you just copied, at which point you could copy it again.

I am using this new feature to kill two birds: 1) farm mime soul fragments in my logout script, and b) work toward a trophy. I just create a 4-d camera, set mafia's autoPutty property to the monster I want to farm, then use monster copies (starting with my photocopied monster) until I'm out of them. Voilà -- 7 mime soul fragments per day!

One other small thing: SS will throw a seal tooth at hellseal pups if you have one, and it will consider them huckleberries until they wail. This should guarantee a wail out of your hellseal pup fights.

Enjoy!

I updated BB and SS as per posts today. verbosity was set to 8 because I thought WHAM didn't do anything except display if verbosity >= 9. Problem seems to be spooky hobos although what else would I find in the Ancient Burial Ground. (Could not reproduce the problem yesterday in the Town Square).

I stopped the fight manually which seems to be the instant SS gave up and switched to WHAM. My suspicion is that SS is overvaluing the profit from using Lasagna Bandages and failing to account for damage from the hobo.

A couple things stick out from this:

1) 1 HP costs 1.422μ. ( 6,898 / 7457 )

That seems a very high value for HP if you have Cocoon. Are you using UR to restore HP?

2) repeat hasskill 3009 && (!hpbelow 6910.0 && hpbelow 7457 && !mpbelow 3506.0 && !pastround -7049973)

Well, I don't know, I'm pretty sure we are past round -7049973.

It seems like that round number might be the clue to the whole thing, but I haven't found an answer yet.

What I have done, though, is add support for Siphoning Spirits. Yay?

No. Does this mean there is some setting I am supposed to make manually in order to appropriately use SS? If so I'll whine at WHAM since I'm not using SS, WHAM is :)

You could try manually setting your meatperhp to a more appropriate value. With a meatpermp of 0.685, restoring 4000 HP with Cocoon would work out to less than 0.0035 meat/HP, so try entering "set _meatperhp = 0.0035" in the CLI and see if that eliminates the problem. I'll wager it does.

Since it's a daily property, for now you'll have to enter this in daily. I'll add Cocoon to BatBrain's extremely simplified meatperhp calculations, but the whole BatMan family of scripts really was intended to be used along with UR.

I don't believe lack of an accurate meatperhp value is the root cause of your problem, since HP loss outweighs HP gain from Bandages, meaning the profit would be negative regardless of the value. However, in the event that the script is somehow ignoring monster damage in your situation, having a more accurate value would at least make the script consider the action's profit to be considerably lower -- probably too low to stasis with.

EDIT: I also tracked down that pastround -7049973 issue to something in WHAM and reported it, but don't believe that's the cause of the issue either.

See message in BatBrain update post explaining updates on the way right now.

1.18 Update

First, monster damage is now handled as a spread by BatBrain, a change which was late in coming but is finally here among us. This update is needed for SS to work with the new BatBrain.

Secondly, I've added initial support for Siphon Spirits. I wrote it to be fairly good at using your siphons, yet also somewhat conservative. If problems are found with certain playstyles, changes can be made or settings added as needed. For now, this is the logic:

  1. First, if the drink is a goal, siphon it.
  2. Next, there are two behaviors depending on whether you are in or out of HC/Ronin.
    • In aftercore (or post-Ronin), siphon red-aura drinks indiscriminately to maximize both daily siphons and quality of alcohol.
    • In HC/Ronin, siphon drinks which grant mainstat, and then only if you are not within 2 levels of the next higher grade of drink -- in which case it will wait for the aura to advance.

Please note before reporting dissatisfaction that some of the possible issues you may have can be overcome by setting goals as desired.

Enjoy!

Fixed in SmartStasis. WHAM is now broken because it copied so much SS code but that is not a SS problem. Didn't mean to sound impatient but with the various time zones involved I could not tell whether "an hour" had elapsed or not.

I'm in a Turtle Tamer class act run with a haiku katana equipped and SmartStasis is trying to cast spring raindrop attack over and over and just looping on the you don't have that skill message. It's running through WHAM if that makes a difference.

Edit: Yeah this is completely unusable, every combat is getting stuck in an infinite loop.
Edit Edit: I think it's probably WHAM, I changed it to only consult SmartStasis and it seems to be fine.

Hi. I recently upgraded to the latest release of SS and BB and now I'm getting the following error message whenever I try and use SS:

"Bad monster value: "frustrating knight" (BatBrain.ash, line 620)"

I have noticed similar errors reported in this thread, but I couldn't see any suitable fixes suggested. I have Re-downloaded both scripts with the same results. I am running the most recent versions of both Mafia and Java, and I do not use any other scripts related to combat.

Thanks.
