Assembling the misshapen familiar

So seeing how so very awesome that new familiar is, I want to get another one for my DC. But I really want to improve my ascension record, so I don't want to farm there for another 3 days. Only other option is to buy the pieces in the mall. Sigh. searching for 100 different items by hand? I don't think so.

Luckily, all of the dusty bones are concentrated together on the item number range of 1800 to 1899 (both inclusive).

The only question is how to use that to write a script? Do I just write buy($item[1800],1) to search for item number1800 in the mall? For some reason it seems wrong... How DO I do that?

Once I know the right syntax all I need is just nest it inside a for loop. Right?

I am sure many people would find this script mighty useful.

Thanks, Itamar

instead of $item[1] use int_to_item(1)
[/quote]

so:
buy(int_to_item(1),1) ?

Thanks a lot. Would finish the script in a sec.

EDIT:done. On the other hand, will it work? Or do I need a newer version of KolMafia which supports the new items? I am sure that the create function won't work seeing how the recepie isn't programmed yet, but will a simple purchase work?

Unless a daily build came out in the last hour or two then there isn't a version that supports the new items by name, but that int_to_item might work? Try it with a few before you write the whole thing.

Ah. I was afraid so. Oh well. I was about to wait for the prices to drop anyway.
I am pretty sure all of this stuff would be implemented in a week or so.


EDIT: Ach! I thought I could run the script on the 9.0 build, but apprentally the dusty bones are not all there! Only about every fifth bone was added to the database. Sigh. Guess I am still waiting for the next build.

Actually zero bones were added to the item database.  The ones that you're seeing are the ones that KoLmafia automatically registered based on your inventory.  Knowing this, you can theoretically determine the item IDs for all the ones you're missing by checking against $item[none].

Code: 
for i from 1800 to 1899
    if ( int_to_item(i) == $item[none] )
        print( "Have not yet seen item #" + i );

I don't get it... what exactly is $item[none] is? And what is the loop suppose to achieve? Also, aren't for loops in ash are of the form for x to a1 upto a2...?

To answer your question, $item[none] is the null item value.  In other words, if int_to_item() determines that the item does not exist, it returns $item[none].  And you may be right about me being wrong about the loop construct ... the accurate loop is:

Code: 
for x from a1 upto a2

I had the "from" right, but it should be "upto" instead of "to". Adding a simpler "to" which automatically counts up or down based on where the endpoint is relative to the start point has been weighing on my mind for awhile, and it leaked into my thought process here on the forums. :)

Fair enough. So I now understand how this thing works, but how can I get KolMafia to get all those item gaps I am missing? How can I introduce temporary items to the database? I now know that having them in the inventory does that, but it kind of beats the purpose on this current script... Will seeing them in a mall store/DC do the same thing? (Using the relay browser that is). If not, what will?

Or as I said before, I can always wait for the next build...

No, doing things in the relay browser will not result in KoLmafia recognizing new items. Sometimes, doing a search using the internal mall interface will do it (but it's not easy, since sometimes KoLmafia refuses to do searches if it thinks no item matches those search parameters). So, for full reliability you'll have to wait until the next build.

Just saying seeing how the new items are in the database I can now get as many skeletons as I can. hoorah! eh, I mean muhahahahaha!

Hey, itamaram, that script you posted was wrong, and dangerously so.

The buy command goes buy (quantity, item), and the create and use commands are inside the for loop. I was fidding around with getting buy to work (without reading the directions), and I very nearly bought 1800 of item 1. Well, not nearly actually, since buy doesn't take ints as arguments. But anyway, a better script for purchasing the bones looks like:

void main()
{
for i from 1800 upto 1899 {
buy(1,int_to_item(i));
}
}

The paste/use script is fine as an exercise for the reader, since I just wanted to script the purchasing. The assembly, I want to see!

EDIT: Oops, it turns out I DID purchase a number of "1-ball" items when I was messing around with this. Zoiks! Luckily I had the foresight to closet most of my meat before fiddling with looped purchase orders.

EDIT EDIT: Double-oops. It's actually because the 1-ball is item 1900. so the script has been modified from going to 1900 to 1899. Difference in range bound semantics, I suppose. Upto != <.

I know this is a bit old but this was the easiest script I found for this so I thought I'd add my improvement in case someone else stumbles upon this topic like I did.

Using angeredtusuki's CLI script, I added a command to use any piles of dusty animal bones you may have first then I changed the buy commands to acquire instead since this will pull from your inventory, clan stash and I think your closet first before buying the missing bones from the mall.

Here's the edited CLI script:
Code: 
use * pile of dusty animal bones
acquire 1 Dusty animal cranium 
acquire 1 Dusty animal jawbone 
acquire 1 Dusty animal pelvis 
acquire 1 Dusty eighth caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty eighth thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty eleventh thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fifth caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fifth cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fifth lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fifth thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty first caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty first cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty first lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty first thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fourth caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fourth cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fourth lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty fourth thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty left clavicle 
acquire 1 Dusty left eighth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left eleventh rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left femur 
acquire 1 Dusty left fibula 
acquire 1 Dusty left fifth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left first front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left first rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left first rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left fourth front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left fourth rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left fourth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left humerus 
acquire 1 Dusty left kneecap 
acquire 1 Dusty left ninth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left radius 
acquire 1 Dusty left scapula 
acquire 1 Dusty left second front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left second rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left second rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left seventh rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left sixth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left tenth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left third front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left third rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty left third rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left thumb 
acquire 1 Dusty left tibia 
acquire 1 Dusty left twelfth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty left ulna 
acquire 1 Dusty ninth caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty ninth thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty right clavicle 
acquire 1 Dusty right eighth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right eleventh rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right femur 
acquire 1 Dusty right fibula 
acquire 1 Dusty right fifth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right first front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right first rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right first rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right fourth front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right fourth rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right fourth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right humerus 
acquire 1 Dusty right kneecap 
acquire 1 Dusty right ninth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right radius 
acquire 1 Dusty right scapula 
acquire 1 Dusty right second front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right second rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right second rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right seventh rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right sixth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right tenth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right third front claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right third rear claw 
acquire 1 Dusty right third rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right thumb 
acquire 1 Dusty right tibia 
acquire 1 Dusty right twelfth rib 
acquire 1 Dusty right ulna 
acquire 1 Dusty sacral vertebrae 
acquire 1 Dusty second caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty second cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty second lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty second thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty seventh caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty seventh cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty seventh lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty seventh thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty sixth caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty sixth cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty sixth lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty sixth thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty tenth caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty tenth thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty third caudal vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty third cervical vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty third lumbar vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty third thoracic vertebra 
acquire 1 Dusty twelfth thoracic vertebra 
make 1 Dusty animal skull
use 1 Dusty animal skull
use 1 Misshapen animal skeleton

This way you don't buy duplicates of bones you may already have.

Other than that angeredtusuki's script was spot-on with the item names and worked great once I just did a search-and-replace to change buy to acquire.

FYI, I was using KoLMafia 11.6 when I last used this. YMMV

Erm, first post. Hello all.

I have just been messing around with the above code and just to test it out I converted it to an .ash script (I'm sure there are easier 'for loop' ones around but I feel safer seeing the correct names in there in case Jick or someone moves items around.)

Code: 
#use any unused piles of animal bones before you go off to buy stuff

use (item_amount($item[pile of dusty animal bones]),$item[pile of dusty animal bones] );

#then check inv,storage, clan stash etc for item before buying it from the mall

#combines the correct 2 bones to make the skull then uses it to create the hatchling.
# then use the hatchling to put the new animal in your terranium

retrieve_item (1 , $item [Dusty animal skull]);
use (1 , $item [Dusty animal skull]);
use (1 ,$item[Misshapen animal skeleton]);

Again, i hope it helps somebody. I had fun messing with it :)

#edit# Oh and the whole thing cost me around 35,000 meat.
