When looking at the skill description:

# Skill Comprehensive Cartography: You know how to find things
--------------------

After winning a combat I, periodically, got five turns of a buff:
Code:
After Battle: "Source of Health," you remember reading on the map, and follow the mental route to a spot somewhere.

--------------------

Effect	Cartographically Aware	Initiative: +30
--------------------

It also seems to grant periodic items after combat. Here's what I found today:

Code:
After Battle: You remember that the map shows a pirate grave <different location description> nearby and find a bottle marking the spot.
You acquire an item: bottle of rum

Where <different location description> was one of the following:
Code:
underneath the rollercoaster tracks
in an angry tourist's pocket
inside one of the line stanchions
in a half-eaten bowl of rice
somewhere

According to GD there are also meat drops and new non-combats in certain locations.

I added the item and the effects and the skill.
I probably won't actually try out the skill or see the new non-combats until the next time I ascend.
Once the NCs are known, we should presumably make the choice options configurable.
Are they zero-turn choices, a la the Wiener Dog?

Not consistently.

Checking my logs:
* Oh Yeah! -- took a turn, outfit
* The Hidden Junction -- didn't take a turn, screambat took a turn (meat took no turns)
* Your Neck of the Woods -- gathering, took a turn
* No Nook Unknown -- didn't take a turn (eyes)
* Ghostly Memories -- didn't take a turn, baron took a turn
* Here There Be Giants -- didn't take a turn, nc took a turn
* Mob Maptality -- didn't take a turn, bench took a turn
* Billiards Room Options -- took a turn, ool took a turn

I added support for Map the Monsters in r20449 which includes: making the skill available if you have Cartographically Concerned (or whatever it is), tracking daily casts with _monstersMapped and tracking if you currently have the flag set with mappingMonsters

Veracity, I'd be interested on your thoughts on something remaining with this. At the moment parseChoice doesn't work on the Map the Monsters noncombat, and thus it fails attempts to verify choice selection.

This is because

Code:
			if ( !form.contains( "choice.php" ) )
			{
				continue;
			}

in ChoiceUtilities fails on

Code:
 <form method="post">
     <input type="hidden" name="option" value="1" />
     <input type="hidden" name="pwd" value="" />
     <input type="hidden" name="whichchoice" value="1435" />
     <input type="hidden" name="heyscriptswhatsupwinkwink" value="156" />
     <input type="submit" class="button" value="a big creepy spider" />
  </form>
  <form method="post">
     <input type="hidden" name="option" value="1" />
     <input type="hidden" name="pwd" value="" />
     <input type="hidden" name="whichchoice" value="1435" />
     <input type="hidden" name="heyscriptswhatsupwinkwink" value="157" />
     <input type="submit" class="button" value="a completely different spider" />
  </form>
  <form method="post">
     <input type="hidden" name="option" value="1" />
     <input type="hidden" name="pwd" value="" />
     <input type="hidden" name="whichchoice" value="1435" />
     <input type="hidden" name="heyscriptswhatsupwinkwink" value="158" />
     <input type="submit" class="button" value="a drunken half-orc hobo" />
  </form>
  <form method="post">
     <input type="hidden" name="option" value="1" />
     <input type="hidden" name="pwd" value="" />
     <input type="hidden" name="whichchoice" value="1435" />
     <input type="hidden" name="heyscriptswhatsupwinkwink" value="159" />
     <input type="submit" class="button" value="a rushing bum" />
  </form>

  <form method="post">
     <input type="hidden" name="option" value="2" />
     <input type="hidden" name="pwd" value="" />
     <input type="hidden" name="whichchoice" value="1435" />
     <input type="submit" class="button" value="The Exit (1)" />
  </form>

as there is no appearance of choice.php in the separate forms.

I'm not sure exactly what types of form this is trying to defend against but the most basic fix is to add something like

Code:
&& !text.contains( "name=\"whichchoice\"" )
to the check.

It's weird because it will show you two choices regardless of the number of monsters you can fight and it will always be named after the first available monster.

It is a good workaround though because you can then do something like

Code:
set choiceAdventure1435 = 1&heyscriptswhatsupwinkwink=159

and successfully automate the adventure

It would be nice if there was choice adventures options for the Comprehensive Cartography skill in mafia. Currently, it just breaks automation when you run into CC choice adventures (such as being able to advance the quest by 1 or 2 steps in dark neck of the woods).

So they're not avilable in drop down lists, but I do believe if you find the adventure number (by going to the wiki page for the adventure where it's in the top right corner, or searching the wiki list(s) of choice adventures by number - eg. https://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Choice_Adventures_by_Number_(1400-1499) ), you can set your own choice for it by entering "set choiceAdventure[number] = [value]"

for example, if you wanted to advance the quest by 2 in the dark neck of the woods, you could "set choiceAdventure1428 = 2"

I'll work on doing that, then. That would be a huge help. Thanks for the advice.
