Automated Going Postal

This script will finish the moxie sign quest "Going postal", requiring one click instead of 25.

Requires Zlib and CanAdv

It checks in advance if you can complete the quest, and aborts if not.
Currently checks:
  • If you have completed the meatcar quest
  • If you are in a moxie sign ascension
  • If you are falling-down drunk
  • If you can adventure in all the locations needed (using CanAdv)
  • If you are wearing the Filthy Hippy Disguise (only checks if you haven't already done the hippy camp encounters)
  • if you have enough adventures (this doesn't take in account every-location encounters)

Can continue already started quests, and will handle every-location encounters (nemesis assassins, Feast of Boris monsters) with your combat settings (the drop-down in the adventure tab).

Nice, but I'd like to make some tiny requests. Y'know how if you have the hippy outfit equipped, it automatically aborts, saying you can't complete this with the hippy outfit equipped? Have this check later, so then you can say that if you haven't given that hippy whatever item she wanted, then abort. Also, you could easily add a visit_url() to the end to actually complete the quest (i.e. retrieve the reward).

Also, a couple of pointers:
Line 15 says "while (done==false)". This could be expressed, simply, as "while (!done)".
Line 26 says 'if (have_equipped($item[Filthy Corduroys]) && have_equipped($item[Filthy Knitted Dread Sack]))'. Simpler way to express this: 'if (string_modifier("Outfit")=="Filthy Hippy Disguise")'

Sorry, im not a scripter so i don't know how to fix it myself so any help would nice, thanks :D (and yes i can actually adventure at the grove so thats not the problem)

Quite possibly could be because the location's name is so horribly misspelled that Mafia can't recognize it. Based on the code, I'd imagine that the script couldn't figure out what location "Whitheys Grove" was supposed to be. (fixed version uploaded to Zarqon's site, so it should work now)

(edit: You might have to reset the map-checking preference via this CLI command: "set map_postal_locations.txt =")

sorry took me a few days before i had a chance to try what you recommended, and it worked (sorta), now it says this:

Determining current quest advancement...
Match found.
You currently are at step 1
You cannot currently adventure at Hippy Camp. You cannot complete the quest

this might be due to the fact that my Hippy Camp is Stone Age now, though i don't know. I tried resetting it again but that didn't fix it, anything else i can do?

Would probably require an actual fix to the script.

Add these lines before "if ((!can_adv(locations[a].to_location(),false)) && (a!=5) && (a!=21))":
PHP: 
buffer m = visit_url("questlog.php?which=2");
if(locations[a])=="Hippy Camp" && (m.contains_text("led the Orcish frat boys") || m.contains_text("led the pirates")))
    locations[a] = "Hippy Camp (Stone Age)";

i did like you suggested (i think, not sure really) like this:

{
buffer m = visit_url("questlog.php?which=2");
if(locations[a])=="Hippy Camp" && (m.contains_text("led the Orcish frat boys") || m.contains_text("led the pirates")))
locations[a] = "Hippy Camp (Stone Age)"; if ((!can_adv(locations[a].to_location(),false)) && (a!=5) && (a!=21))


and when i run it, it replies with this:

"if" requires a boolean conditional expression (postal.ash, line 50)

im assuming i did something very wrong here, sorry not a scripter so im not sure exactly where to put it

Ack, I had an extra parenthesis, sorry. Should be:
PHP: 
buffer m = visit_url("questlog.php?which=2");
if(locations[a]=="Hippy Camp" && (m.contains_text("led the Orcish frat boys") || m.contains_text("led the pirates")))
    locations[a] = "Hippy Camp (Stone Age)";

okay that seemed to work, but now im back to getting my original error

Determining current quest advancement...
Match found.
You currently are at step 1
You cannot currently adventure at Whitheys Grove. You cannot complete the quest

which would be the spelling error i assume, im guessing that's an error from canadv.ash though and not postal.ash

Technically not an error from canadv, but rather with the datafile. Go to your \data folder (same root directory as the \scripts folder) and edit postal_locations.txt so that Whitey's Grove is spelled correctly. Reuploaded a copy of the datafile, but I'm not sure why it reverted to its previous (incorrect) state in the first place. (Or why it seems to have done so again, huh. It's apparently now flip-flopping between the two states.)

Make sure the spelling is right for both entries (10 and 16). Also, I had to change Misspelled Cemetary to post-cyrpt cemetary to get this to work (entries 5 and 21).

I also added this line
PHP: 
print("Determining current quest advancement..." + locations[a]);
just after the stone age patch above to give visibility into where it was in the process.

Before
Code: 
 call scripts\totry\postal.ash

Worked slick as a whistle after making the cemetary change.
