I'm more optimistic. Downloaded and running with my banked turns for muscle day.
I thought stats days didn't mean anything in run anymore. Am I missing something here?

No, I was more banking because I got home late and didn't have time to use my turns...didn't mean to imply I was saving them specially.

I decided to give 2.4 a try, since it sounded like most of the bugs have been worked out. I made it to level 11 before noticing any serious problems. For some reason, it's having trouble with ancient protector spirits.
After than, it continues to use mighty axing until I get beaten up. I have no source of elemental damage, so mighty axing only does 1 damage per attack.
I've been doing a lot of 100 turn basement runs and this script has been a big help deciding how to defeat those monster. 1.9.6 worked well, but was painfully slow because I've got way too many skills for it to consider. I'm excited about trying 2.4 and seeing how much faster it runs.

Heroic Belch works well there.

I'm a bit at a loss here since it really shouldn't do that, it should abort and let your figure out the best way to move forward. And also, I'm a bit confused as to why you do not have heroic belch at that point
The effect of heroic belch varies with fullness, right? I have seen WHAM not use it, wondered why and discovered the amount of damage done was pathetic. When I ate WHAM seemed to happily and correctly choose it.

My apologies, I always forget to include enough information. I had all 30 Boris skills and enough fullness for belch. I probably should have grabbed a more verbose log, but at the time I was just happy WHAM made it that far. Only later did I realized it might be nice to tell others. I just checked my logs and once I took over by hand, it only took one bellow and two belches to kill all the spirits.I'm a bit at a loss here since it really shouldn't do that, it should abort and let your figure out the best way to move forward.

I guess it doesn't really matter if it's Boris specific. Now that I've got the skill, I'm not planning on doing another Boris run. The new challenge path is a few days out and we'll all be distracted by that.
I tried 2.4 in the basement today and some monsters never solved. I waited for half and hour on one. Now, it's probably my fault, because I really should have been more buffed. The first long pause, I lost playing by hand. The second, I won, but it was so close, I'm going to say it was luck. On a few monsters, WHAM used inexpensive combat items to kick ass. Items I didn't even know existed!
I have to say, I really miss the days when I could just use snowclone on everything down there. Lucky for me, I got my full telescope before that bug fix.
I'm powerlevelling/candyblasting in space at the moment as a sauceror. Once the monster got weak, the script decided to bash its head in instead, which didn't work so well since I'm a myst class with a chefstave . Candyblast woulda killed him in time but it ran out of rounds since phys attacks weren't high enough. This only happened in 2.4. In 2.3 it said it would bash his head in, but kept using Candyblast anyway.
. Candyblast woulda killed him in time but it ran out of rounds since phys attacks weren't high enough. This only happened in 2.4. In 2.3 it said it would bash his head in, but kept using Candyblast anyway.
FWIW either WHAM or SS is not really sure how to deal with a Stab Bat as a familiar. I don't recall the mechanics of when it bites me but I'm not sure prolonging the combat is always the best or even a reasonable strategy.
WHAM seems to be going off into LaLa land for me, never actually initiating the combat. I think what is happening is that the only thing that can damage the monster is a spell (and I am a DB) but I only have enough MP to cast it once. WHAM never seems to give up the idea that there is something else it could do after the spell.
I have played with verbosity but I can't make any sense of what I am being told so a specific recommendation would be helpful, although not necessarily useful since the character is now high enough that the spell one shots and the MP restore, when set, allows for multiple casts.

Yeha, I need to play around with aborts and suchlike when it can't find a good way to kill the monster. I've got stuck in some infinite loops recently but am not sure exactly what casued them.
That said version 2.5 is uploaded with a bunch of additions for Bugbear-hunting and a very late fix for the banishing in Boris-core.

Yeah, I got that today as well. I have no idea why it happened, but it appears to be when it tried to delevel the enemy but failed. The interesting thing is that I don't modify a map anywhere near there so I've no idea what's going on.
I have a local copy that works, but it also contains some untested elements that I'd like to test out more tomorrow before uploading for "real". I'll attach it to this post so that there's at least a working version out there...
Edit: Attachment removed. New version has been posted in the first post instead.

I too have been having trouble and in both directions. I've been getting the crap beaten out of me by stasising high level monsters and I've been failing to stasis low level monsters. The middle seems okay. I've been trying to figure out how to make a decent bug report, but the system is very complex and I have trouble recreating things when I've the time to mess about.
Anyway, today I was basement diving and getting beaten up, so I tried turning up the verbosity (which fixed everything for a while, ha!)
I think I finally got a useful log. Here two rounds were spent in stasis, then on round three it was decided winning was impossible. Usually, I get beaten up. This time it aborted and I won playing manually (noodles and harpoon).
My work around is to just buff more, but I'm hoping I can be helpful. I really wish I could catch a log when it's failing to stasis on monsters I totally outclass, but that's always day one ascension when I barely have time to keep up with the game.

there seemed to be a correlation with me about to get the crap kicked out of me, and only with Goth Giants

Yeah, the new version in 134 should abort properly when it can't figure out a way to kill the monster without you dying and also should not crash on deleveling. I'm not sure about what is happening at the lower end.
It also sets unknown_ml for the bugbears to levels which appeared to work for me yesterday (that's the experimental part) as well as sorting the printout of skills and damage in falling damage order when it aborts.

Apparently if you successfully steal before the recalculation, it repeats it, a bunch...I mean, I'd take the triple-toasting. But for some reason, I can't find the other two...
I do feel that that is more of a batbrain issue than a WHAM issue...
However version 2.6 has been released which should no longer enter infinite loops when running out of MP. yay!
It also tries to set unknown_ml dynamically for the new bugbears which workd out fine for me during my latest run and so I hope people are somewhat happy with the numbers I've chosen.

And here I was thinking it was because, on failing to kill successfully, we do this:
Evaluate_Options, of course, has this:
and Calculate_Options has:
but... maybe repeatedly calling act() is irrelevant?
TLDR: Can probably scrap the act() in failing to kill because it gets called in Evaluate_Options anyways.
Code:
if(finished() || contains_text(page, "WINWINWIN")) { //Exit the script if SS ended the fight
vprint("WHAM: SS has finished the fight. Aborting script execution. ", "purple", 9);
exit;
} else {
vprint("WHAM: SS did not finish the script off, continuing with script execution. ", "purple", 9);
[i] act(page); //Re-initialize all variables to be sure we are in a correct state[/i]
}
vprint("WHAM: Starting evaluation and performing of attack", "purple", 8);
//Debug info
vprint("WHAM: We currently think that the round number is: " + round + " and that the turn number is " + my_turncount() + ".", "purple", 9);
[i] page = Evaluate_Options();[/i]
Code:
kill_it = Calculate_Options(monster_stat("hp")); //Set up the damage dealt
Code:
reset_queue();
act(page);TLDR: Can probably scrap the act() in failing to kill because it gets called in Evaluate_Options anyways.
