Unfortunately, the arguments object is still a thing. function main() { print("I got " + arguments.length + " arg(s)"); } In this case, should KoLmafia ask the user for the argument(s)? If so, it would have to statically analyze the code for uses of "arguments"--which is probably brittle.

What you're looking for is probably difficult to achieve. Between default parameters, the arguments object, and rest parameters (...args), it's practically impossible to guess the answer to "how many arguments does this function need?" If you want to accept multiple arguments, you could try...

That would be neat. I'll have to figure out how an operation like this (select multiple & edit) could be implemented. Please understand that my backlog is getting somewhat long, so a change would take some time to arrive.

First, what do you mean by "mysticality farming"? If you're looking to power level, just set up the noncombat choices and use KoLmafia's auto-adventuring feature. No scripting needed. Second, why would someone want to spend their valuable time for you when you're hesitant to spend yours? Had...

That sounds tricky to describe without knowledge of KoLmafia's internal mechanics. Suppose I want to prevent my code from aborting. Is there a rule of thumb that I can use to decide which functions to capture?

KoLmafia version: r20783 When starting the Nemesis Quest by visiting your guild's "same class guy" (guild.php?place=scg) NPC as an Accordion Thief, the quest property (questG04Nemesis) is not set to started. Looking at QuestManager.java, it appears that some checks are missing or handled...

I recently learned that some built-in ASH functions behave like assertions when their return values are not used: // Abort the script if it fails to retrieve the item retrieve_item(1, $item[ mae west ]); // Don't abort the script even if it fails to retrieve the item boolean result =...

Looks like the section was added a long time ago by @Bale. Is there a list of "assertive" functions that exhibit this behavior (i.e. sets interpreter state to RETURN)? Or would I have to dive into LibraryFunctions.java and check each method? I appreciate your idea, but I believe exceptions make...

I actually tested using r20781, but the following code now sends two kmails instead of one: js const { kmail } = require('zlib.ash'); kmail(myName(), 'test1', 0); kmail(myName(), 'test2', 0); Your fix didn't include heeheehee's patch, but somehow killed two birds with one stone.

Thanks. I just checked r20780 and it fixes both the original issue (skipping function calls) and the throwing-instead-of-returning-false problem.

I tested your patch and it makes the code in #1 work correctly. It also made sending multiple kmails possible: const { kmail } = require('zlib.ash'); kmail(myId(), 'test1', 0); kmail(myId(), 'test2', 0); I ran my daily farming script and Philter--both are JavaScript scripts that rely on many...

@heeheehee Thanks, I'll try the patch tomorrow when I have the time. @Veracity Thanks for the info. I already suspected that there was a reason why ASH was implemented so. I already knew that a change is impossible since plenty of code depend on the current behavior. Looking back, I regret that...

Huh. @gausie recently pointed out that function calls in ASH have different semantics depending on their position (standalone expression vs rhs of an assignment). E.g. retrieve_item(a); will abort immediately on failure, but boolean stuff = retrieve_item(a); won't. I personally dislike this and...

Shorter-Order Cook is marked as combat0,delevel in familiars.txt. Since it also deals prismatic damage and drops items, could we add combat1,drop to its type?

KoLmafia version: r20777 When calling a custom ASH function from JavaScript, the function call is "skipped" when the ASH function meets certain conditions. I have an ASH script named test-lib.ash that defines a function: // test-lib.ash void speak(string message) { int unused...

You're supposed to run the cleanup command. Enter ocd-cleanup in the gCLI. (The new command is philter, but it's under development)

Request: Can we deprecate (and eventually remove) equals(str1, str2)? It's supposed to case-sensitively compare two strings, but is now redundant because the == operator became case-sensitive in KoLmafia r16180. This was 6 years ago, and I doubt anyone is using equals() now. I'm submitting a...

I used autoBasement last year, so there's one data point. The topic of maintaining old scripts would probably belong to this thread. Abandoned projects could be moved to Github under the LASS org to allow multiple people to contribute. Admittedly, contacting people who no longer play is often...

Looking at other package managers... Cargo (from Rust) supports git URLs, optionally with branches or tags: cargo install --git https://github.com/my-org/project-foo.git cargo install --git https://github.com/my-org/project-foo.git --branch my-branch cargo install --git...

Awesome work! But we should first review why everyone wants to check out/clone subdirectories, and why some projects are using release branches. It's because KoLmafia enforces a strict rule on the directory structure. We can't have READMEs, package.jsons, or even .gitignore files. This could...
