With 50% mastery, I've definitely gotten words from scrolls.
(0 of 4 is not enough statistics... ever)

It convinces me that I want to learn my vocabulary.
I think we can agree that it should only be attempted with merkinVocabularyMastery > 0.
Oh, usually I don't bother learning very much vocab at all -- I just brute-force half or so of the dreadscroll (I've never bothered with the worktea, and only occasionally do I learn all the words from the choices and scrolls) -- since I'm still hunting for noncombats long after I find the dreadscroll, I have plenty of turns to burn Deep-tainted.
I would be interested to see a more clever "solver", though. This variant of Mastermind is harder than the usual :|
I never use worktea, but finding all of the other clues seems worthwhile. Did you know that every failed use of the dreadscroll costs a turn?
Yes, that would agree with the turns remaining of Deep-tainted after each use.
edit: The tradeoff really depends on how much you value turns. For reference: 30% mastery costs 3 cheatsheets and either (a hallpass and 1-2 turns) or 3 wordquizzes, which at current mall prices costs around 24k. At that rate, it'll cost about 80k to max out vocabulary.
On the other hand, on average, with a naive approach (changing one option at a time until you get the right answer) each guess takes two tries to get the right answer, but let's be a little conservative and say 3 tries -- you do have to confirm the ones you had right initially. If you only use the knucklebone and Deep Dark visions, let's say, you'll end up spending 18 tries, with 162 turns worth of Deep Dark Visions (144 after subtracting wasted turns), which you can spend elsewhere.
(note: 162 is just an estimate using n^2/2; it's a bit on the low end, but my point still stands)

My TT alt keeps getting an error ("This skill is useless out of water.") that I think is related to SmartStasis. From the output, it looks like SmartStasis is trying to use Summon Leviatuga which doesn't make sense given I am not underwater. Any advice on how to troubleshoot or fix this would be appreciated.
My CCS is:
The output from gCLI with verbosity set to 10.

I think that makes sense. Now I'm trying to figure out why it felt the need to use a stasis skill in the middle chamber of the pyramid. I think it may be because I had the cocoabo equipped and it was trying to wait to give the cocoabo time to heal me. Does that sound about right? I can't think of any other reason it would have needed to prolong the fight.

Since there are starting to be quite a lot of Sea-only items and skills, I'll be adding an "underwater" keyword to batfactors. If an action is flagged as "underwater" and you're not currently in the Sea, the action will be removed from consideration and will not be present in opts. This keyword should only be used on actions like Summon Leviatuga which fail or accomplish absolutely nothing out of the Sea -- there are plenty of actions (items in particular) which work, though less powerfully, outside the Sea.
Hello!
I'm having some problems using this script: it seems it's trying to use the indigo cup twice. Sometimes mafia goes on, but sometimes it stops.
This is the quotation with verbosity=8
I don't know if the problem is the raindoh or something else...
My CCS is
Tell me if you need more informations. Thank you in advance!
EDIT:
Not knowing much about how this works I tried editing the batfactors.txt:
I changed the line
I don't know why, but now it stopped using it twice. I hope this can be useful to someone.
EDIT2:
nope. He decided to do it again.

SS won't automatically stomp for boring old gooey paste, under the premise that under most circumstances you'd want to save your stomps for better pastes. So if you're in a zone with only monsters that squish into gooey paste it won't ever stomp. I think we can add some code to BBB to skip switching to that familiar in the event you're in a zone without squishworthy monsters.
I've also discovered another possible catch with familiar drop farming. If you're in a non-adventure.php location, the hipster combats will never fire. The next update will skip the hipster for those locations.

r10 Update
The first thing you'll notice with this update is that your settings have changed names! As mostly foretold in the BatBrain thread, the following settings have changed names:
In the case of the first three, ZLib was already prepared and will automatically migrate the contents of your previous settings over to the new settings, then delete your old ftf_ settings. No hassle!
SS now also uses BatBrain's new custom actions categories rather than hard-coding specific actions. It uses the "copy" category (which also includes rain-doh black boxes and 4-d cameras) where it once specified Spooky putty, the "attract" category (which also includes the Jarlsberg creamstaff) where it once specified Olfaction, the "banish" category (which includes several challenge path skills and a wide range of combat items) where it once merely specified Creepy Grin, and the "yellow" category where it once specified Point at Your Opponent. In the case of "yellow", it will not throw items if you have a He-Boulder with you, but otherwise, it will attempt to yellow ray your opponent using any actions flagged with "yellow", such as unbearable lights.
Of these changes, the one that merits further warning is the change to BatMan_banish. This setting is now intended as a general-purpose list of monsters you always want to banish. BatBrain will use banishing actions such as Banishing Shout or jiggling the Cheesestaff, and even including temporary banishers such as crystal skulls or divine champagne poppers, unless you blacklist them.
Enjoy! I'm particularly excited about this update to SS because it paves the way for a really cool BatMan RE update -- combat queue manipulation! Going to post that now.

Getting this error when attempting to use WHAM, coming from SmartStasis.
Code:

Multiple matches against degrassi knoll.

You're on your own, partner.New Degrassi update throws a spanner in the works at line 60.
I've just replaced that with this for now until someone comes up with a more elegant solution (I know nothing!)
