Farming script for a high level char

This is a very bad CLI script i made myself XD
It is designed for a high lvl seal clubber (as it pulverises etc) and the character should have a sum of meat before farming (as it buys things)
However simple this script is, i have made 350k, 50 twinkly wads and loads of other stuff in one day by using this script.

but there is one problem. even though i use csend, it changes the 1 meat (or 23 meat, dunno which one) i send to a buffbot into an 80 meat. this SHOULD do the same job but for some strange reason, it doesnt, and i keep getting refunded. any help here?

My understanding is that the "pricelist" if you will, is in most cases modified and maintained by the buffbot user or clan and referenced by Mafia. So if there is a problem it could mean a couple of things, it could mean the buffbot itself has changed prices and not changed the xml file that mafia keys off of to get its prices, it could also mean that there was some change to the location of the xml file, and the version (of Mafia) you are using is referencing one that is out of date. So my two questions to help fix this would be;

Which buffbot is this happening with?
Are you using the latest version of Mafia?

IocaineBot seems to be having trouble getting enough MP to cast its buffs. I get refunds fairly often stating that fact. That's probably what's going on.

You can find out what other buffbots kolmafia recognizes on your machine (and how much it thinks the prices are) by opening the "Purchase Buffs" interface (in the "People" dropdown menu, or by using the box of sunshine icon) and playing around with the menus. I thought lucky888 offered philanthropic buffs, for one.

But if you are farming and making 350k/day (per the first post), you don't need philanthropic buffs. Those buffbots offer philanthropic buffs to help out the poor and new player base, and their philanthropic activities run at a loss. It is probably the abuse of their philanthropy that is causing Iocainebot to be short on MP. Buy a farming package from one of them, or change the script to pay their regular tariff. Buffbots still offer a good value, since they have access to cheaper MP than most of the player-base (due to powerleveling and MMJ).
 
I wasn't implying you buy Ode in bulk. Most buffbot operators seem to recognize that would be silly, and many sell it in single cast increments, usually for less than 100 meat. I guess we're just using words differently. I was responding to your use of "philanthropic," when it looks like you meant "single cast."

Anyway, try KolaBuff, the Professor, or Niten along with lucky 888. I think they all offer one shot Ode buffs.

For scripting, you might find it worthwhile to overbuff (by which I mean, pay more than one bot), since you can never rely on 24/7 uptimes with the bots. It may be worth it to you to spend another 200 meat to guarantee the extra Ode adventures, since you probably make more than 200 meat per adventure.

There is no problem that I see, other than maybe you have 1 too many AT buffs already..
1: You may only have 3 AT buffs at a time unless you have something that says differently.
2: When you "csend 23 meat to iocainebot" KoLmafia (I am sure) sees that you request ode and therefore sends 80 meat instead of 23 to cut down on the scripting of retrieving philanthropic buffs....

=P btw i only get 350k when i already have 200 adventures and something else i cant remember. normally its more 100k/150k max. its still pretty impressive for such a simple script, and soooooo much more efficient with the time/meat ratio when using an NPZR. =D
