SmartStasis -- a complex script for a simple CCS

Well, that's the thing that zarqon was asking for a mafia FReq for, but I'm not sure how to word properly... when a KoL macro aborts, hand control back to the script instead of aborting. Let the script be responsible for making it work.

That indicates that mafia only aborts for macro errors after the consult script is done -- SS finishes, and mafia sees the page contains a macro error, and aborts.

I've been thinking -- adding the BALLS "haveskill" check around skills might resolve this issue, but it's not immediately evident where this should be added -- when building skills or when enqueueing them. During enqueueing makes more sense, since if a skill is in your list, you definitely have it. Probably I will only add it for skills which are enqueued with repeat conditions, but that means the insertion of batround between actions needs to be reworked as well.

Even better, it would be possible to put !hasskill as a conditional for using the second best stasis option instead. That way the script will simply keep going if the skill runs out!

I'm not sure SS is making the best use of my OP shield.

Code: 
consult smartstasis.ash
attack with weapon

Does not seem to be throwing the shield at all.

Code: 
consult smartstasis.ash
skill throw shield
attack with weapon

Has been casting entangling noodles then throwing the shield. I'm not sure but I think that critical noodles would be better. I'm plinking in this case, so I think I'd want the longer stun more than extra damage.

Code: 
skill throw shield
consult smartstasis.ash
attack with weapon

Would cause trouble with things like Pick Pocket, yes?

Winterbay, your sig applies again! That's certainly easier than wrapping all skills (and eventually items) in if checks. Will add this to enqueue(action,repeatconditions) since it really only applies there -- the default condition of haveskill n/haveitem n will be added if applicable, checking the id for multiple items/skills as well.

Bale, your proposal would complicate the macro considerably, considering that there are numerous repeat conditions. It should only move on to another stasis action if it stopped due to running out of an item/skill -- the other conditions should still cause an abort. It's possible, foreaching over the sorted options and adding the top n valid stasis actions with initial conditionals and the usual repeat conditions, but it's not high on my list of things to do -- if you figure it out and post it I'd be happy to work it in, however.

@redwulf: I'm sure the shield isn't in batfactors yet.

If you want mafia to abort the script rather than automation when it encounters KoL combat macro errors, that would be a feature request.

Perhaps a better solution would be to only abort automation for KoL combat errors if they happen outside a consult script, allowing the consult script itself the option of handling the error. That would actually completely solve all of these issues, albeit in a fairly ugly way. SS could submit a limited-use action with a "repeat" and KoL would execute it until it ran out -- then print an error. Since mafia wouldn't abort, BB would rebuild options and combat would continue as though an actual smart availability check were built in. It's rather inelegant to use KoL errors effectively as repeat conditions, but it's arguably better for users as it allows automation to continue.

I may actually make this feature request if you don't.

Do we still want this FReq, or are we satisfied that it's fixed for now since the haveskill enqueueing in BatBrain? The problem I can see is that if someone has an unintelligent macro consult, it could request the same impossible macro forever and KoL wouldn't abort it since it hands control back to the dumb-macro. That being said, they can currently do the same with a dumb non-macro-ed consult, so it's not really an added problem, just one we're porting to the new (macro) system.

I have a loop condition happening when I'm poisoned by Killer Bees in the Dungeons of Doom.

After end of combat, a loop starts, printing "You're dangerously poisoned! Will try to remove if possible." When I hit the Abort button, an anti-antidote is automatically purchased and used.

I can't find this piece of text anywhere in my scripts directory, or in the KoLmafia source code. Or anywhere on my hard drive, with the exception of my KoLmafia log files.

Does anyone know where this message comes from, and how I can make it stop?

(Hmmm. Maybe I should post this in Universal_recovery? Oh well, too late now. I just hit the Post button.)

Thanks,

Does look like it's a BatBrain bug, since that's the BatBrain poison message... shouldn't have come up after the fight though, since after the fight's over, the consult should be done...

This is my first attempt at using a CCS with a consult script and I'm a little confused by what's happening. I've followed the instructions on the first post to set everything up but when I adventure in the Icy Peak with my Hobo Monkey it will stasis for the Snow Queen but not for the Yetis or Rams. I was expecting it to stasis for all monsters as it's under [ default ] in my CCS. Any advice or pointers to where I might have gone wrong would be much appreciated.

Actually just tried the CCS in the Castle and really think I've done something wrong.

And on and on until I aborted it. Again any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Set your verbosity to 8 or 9 (type "zlib verbosity = 9") and try again so that we may see better what is happening. You appear to have a very low verbosity since there are no messages whatsoever about what is happening.

You appear to have no good stasis options. Try to get hold of a seal tooth or similar which will make a lot less damage, as yes I think your problem is that since you don't have anything other to stasis with than your attack you will not stasis for long since your attack kills the monster in one blow.

I'm not sure that's it. For the Snow Queen it successfully used the facsimile dictionary. I also already have a seal tooth which should do the job. When I unequipped the cup of infinite pencils it seems to stasis correctly.

Is there a reason noodles are being cast after stasis has finished? I'm well over the safe moxie and should kill in one hit so is it just being extra cautious?

Thanks for your help with this.

It will only use noodles if it thinks it will help you avoid damage. Since it expects you to survive for 654 rounds, it appears that it doesn't think you're ever going to get hit, so it doesn't ever make sense to run noodles during 'normal' stasis. Once it gets down to you though, it's still possible that you're going to do something that goes for long enough for a critical hit to happen, so...

The reason why your stasis stopped is because your hobo monkey stole its meat in round 2. As such, there was no reason to continue stasis longer than that... unlike the stocking mimic, cocoabo, NZPR, the monkey's meat-gathering happens only once per fight...

I know the stasis was right for the second example, for the first though I think it must have been the cup of infinite pencils stopping me starting to stasis.

I'm not sure I follow why the noodles are happening though. The noodles aren't selected in the special actions section in Mafia and my CCS is just:

Code: 
[ default ]
consult SmartStasis.ash
attack with weapon

Thanks for all the help with this.
