Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

[Theraze]

Sadly (for customization) I'm still using the default WHAM settings, namely:

WHAM_AlwaysContinue false
WHAM_hitchance 0.5
WHAM_maxround 30
WHAM_round_limit 10

That does make sense as to why it thought it was good though, and why it failed to continue onwards.

Edit: Would be appreciated. Just hit round 279 on another character, same thing with the PADL phone. Least I caught it only a few minutes after this time. Heh.

2.8.3 uploaded with that single change (well and the windchimes as well).

 

[Magus_Prime]

One thing I'm noticing with the current version of WHAM is that it seems to favor stasis actions even when I'm losing large amounts of hit points and it's favoring physical attacks when I'm a sauceror with a full mana pool.

This wasn't the case in earlier versions of WHAM. I set verbosity to 9 and got the following. It looks like WHAM is almost completely discounting spellcasting if it doesn't think it can result in a saucesplash.

[fronobulax]

Disco bandit with a lot of Sauceror and Pastamancer spells perm'd. Maximizer suggests (and I accept) a weapon that it turns out can't hit anything. WHAM blissfully keeps attacking rather than pick a spell so I end up beaten up or two spelling manually. Switch to ranged weapon - that can hit - and WHAM manages to kill monsters as expected although not always using spells. It's possible that Smartstasis and/or BCC Ascend is a player instead of WHAM but in light of the report above, I figured I'd say something.

 

[Winterbay]

One thing I'm noticing with the current version of WHAM is that it seems to favor stasis actions even when I'm losing large amounts of hit points and it's favoring physical attacks when I'm a sauceror with a full mana pool.

This wasn't the case in earlier versions of WHAM. I set verbosity to 9 and got the following. It looks like WHAM is almost completely discounting spellcasting if it doesn't think it can result in a saucesplash.

Odd... I've never had it do that. That said, the code for saucesplashing needs to be looked over (it will execute a splash if it can no matter if it'll kill you or not), but I don't think I've ever had that problem,. The fact that thrust-smack is chosen so many times even though it fails to hit makes me wonder what your hitchance was calculated to. If possible could you run one fight at verbosity 10 to get a printout of your available skills and hitchances?

 

[Magus_Prime]

Unfortunately I've cleared the ducks and am out of turns for the day. I'll try it tomorrow against a frat warrior.

Edit: Here's a combat with verbosity set to 10

So... 67% hitchance for lunging thust-smack. I'm guessing you've gained one or a few muscle points since the duck perhaps?, so that the hitchance may have been slightly smaller than that then. It may have been that you were very unlucky with your missing, either that or the hitchance formula in BatBrain is off which I doubt.
But as we can see hrust-smack is the skill with the most potential damage and as such will most likely be picked more often than the spells. That said, I'm not sure why it tends to do things like clobber times 4 and then a thrust smack rather than the other way around (or as it often is in my case stringozzi serpent, clobber times 3 and then another serpent...).

Not by much. I only did eight adventures on the battlefield before I went to the lighthouse. I noticed this change in behavior with 2.9.

You're on your own, partner.

One thing that I notice is that there are a lot of spell attacks to choose from but WHAM chooses none of them. Another thing I've noticed is that if WHAM does choose an action in a fight it's often to spam Saucy Salve, even if I'm not low on HP, until I've run out of MP and then it will one-hit the monster with "Attack with Weapon".

 

[Winterbay]

Spamming saucy salve is most likely a SS bug (it's been reported that that seems to happen from time to time and some people have had to delete that skill from batfactors to get it to stop.
I don't think restoration during actual combat is actually functioning yet in WHAM so...

Are you running in Softcore or Hardcore? Also, could you copy the content of WHAM_damageandcosts.txt and WHAM_sortedbyprofit.txt (if there is a difference) from your data-folder?

 

[fronobulax]

Vague, and possibly useless report but...

WHAM seems to want to use Pool Torpedoes when the adventure location is not underwater.

These things only work underwater.

If SS is trying to use them as a stasis item then I have no idea why stasis is deemed relavent or profitable at the moment.

WHAM doesn't always use a second item when Double Handed Funk Slinging is available and it seems to make sense to use two.

 

[Magus_Prime]

I'm in Hardcore and the two WHAM data files were identical:

-1	0.0	0.0	0.0	
0	0.0	0.0	0.0

 

[Winterbay]

Hmm... That was less helpful than I had hoped. I need to take a look at the code generating them to make them more useful for actual stuff...

 

[Crowther]

Spamming saucy salve is most likely a SS bug (it's been reported that that seems to happen from time to time and some people have had to delete that skill from batfactors to get it to stop.

This is due to intended behavior in BatBrain, where extending combat is always given priority over total profit. Saucy salve is an expensive way to extend combat and it's probably the best. I no longer delete it from BatFactors. In BatBrain, I've replaced

   sort opts by -to_profit(value);
   sort opts by -min(kill_rounds(value),max(0,maxround - round - 5));

with

   sort opts by -(to_profit(value)*min(kill_rounds(value),max(0,maxround - round - 5)));

and I've been having great results. This fixed multiple problems I'd been having. However, there really should be some additional profit per round added for "huckleberry" monsters, where extending combat really is worth any cost. So try this change at the risk of killing gremlins too fast.

Anyway, this certainly isn't a bug in WHAM.

Thanks for catching that. I've fixed that in the now uploaded 3.0, which should also try to sling another item if the last one was an item (but not if the last two was). I also fixed the debug generation of datafiles which should hopefully gives some better info when things doesn't work out as expected.

 

[fronobulax]

Thanks.

I'm having issues with 3.0 (though it may be batbrain). Getting the following error

WHAM: Failed to enqueue Gnomitronic Hyperspatial Demodulizer. There's more detailed information in the gCLI.

Ultimately, it looks like it's queueing up 4 Gnomitronic Hyperspatial Demodulizer actions. A quick dry run in combat shows that it can only be used once per combat (twice with funkslinging if in same round, which I have). I can't really tell if this is WHAM, Batbrain, or the combination of the two. Though it seems odd, since they both utilize the same happened function, it seems.

 

[Catch-22]

I'm having issues with 3.0 (though it may be batbrain). Getting the following error

WHAM: Failed to enqueue Gnomitronic Hyperspatial Demodulizer. There's more detailed information in the gCLI.

"Feed" fails for the same reason, it can only be used once per combat. This is really a BatBrain issue but it's a pain to track things like this currently. I made a feature request to have a proxy record to signify if something can only be used once per combat, this feature request could apply to items too. Whether or not anything will be done about the feature request that actually makes things easier for BatBrain to figure things out, remains to be seen.

 

[Theraze]

BatBrain is supposed to use the "once" in batfactors to only queue those items once, and it uses "happened" to decide it that once has already occurred... there are issues with the "happened" though, depending on how you have macros set, and whether you're using relay combat v. automated combat. It's on Zarqon's to-do list.

 

[Winterbay]

I think it may have been at least partly my fault. Try 3.0.1.
