It seems like my Mod maximiser is stubbornly refusing to consider the mall for some reason?

I've tried most combinations of the radio buttons in the settings, and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Could someone be kind enough to explain what exactly I'm messing up?

Have you tried a non-zero max purchase price?

I might have already, but I definitely have now. A sufficiently large number to buy a dead guy's watch, and all three of 'don't check' 'buyable only' and 'all consumables'. No change.
 
Hmm. How about maximizing adv, 2 dump

Also, is there anything unexpected in the session log, or the DEBUG log? Debug log might be unexpected just by existing...
 
DEBUG log would be one level back from session logs, and only exists if something goes wrong (or you ask for one).

2 dump keyword puts data in the gCLI.
 
Ah,
Maximizer: adv, 2 dump

Just doesn't seem to be seeing the mall for some reason. Is there something I need to do to turn that on? My account has access to the mall, of course.
 
have you tried to use historical prices and deleted your historical prices (to force new price checks?)

You should have a file in your data directory called mallprices.txt
Mine has 7508 lines of data that matches item number, other item number, and 5th lowest mall price.
Michaels-MBP:data mcroft$ wc -l mallprices.txt 7508 mallprices.txt Michaels-MBP:data mcroft$ tail mallprices.txt 10778 1634769672 156 10784 1634769672 3000 10785 1634769673 301 10786 1634769674 900 10787 1634784169 100 10788 1634786043 555 10796 1634702834 45000000 10798 1634770249 2920000 10801 1634702834 43000000 10802 1634698584 17996

Would my data directory have files named [Playername]_queue.ser, [Playername]_turns.ser, itemflags, and svnrepo?
If so, it does not seem to have a historical prices file.

Is the Maximizer interacting with autoBuyPriceLimit ?

I'm unsure what that is, how would I check that?
 
mallprices.txt has the historical prices but it will not be in data unless you have enabled the preference to share prices. Otherwise it is not updated and is whatever got bundled in the KoLmafia jar.

autoBuyPriceLimit is a preference which you can set via the command line. In many places mafia will refuse to do automated buying if the mall price exceeds the limit. We question was aimed at people who know the code better than I do.

In a hurry. I'll revisit later if I need to be less terse.

How do I enable the preference to share prices? That sounds like it could be my problem.

Go to the preferences tab or window. Select General (on the left). Scroll down on the right and check Share recent Mall price data with other users. Restart mafia.

While you are there you might also look at General->Item Acquisition since the Buy Items from Mall whenever needed might be affecting the maximizer.

If Share is already checked and there is no mallprices.txt in data then something is not working as expected and we should probably explore that even though it is probably not the total cause of of what you are seeing.

I now have a mallprices file, but the Maximizer's behavior is unchanged.

Aha! Turning on 'Buy Items from Mall whenever needed' fixed my problem. Thanks so much for your help, everyone!
