That's a good idea. I was wondering if there was a page somewhere with the data on it. But I don't have much experience with parsing pages like that. I could do something very cumbersome with string handling (looking up the indices for characters and adding/subtracting based on that...

Yep, that's what I'm planning on doing. I'll whip up an ash function for Harvest, but I'll need to do things like construct a data file for the monsters that FaxBot supports and the commands it recognizes to get them, and then have the function check that the monster is available, and that...

Awesome! I've been waiting for this :D. Any plans for an ash command or two? Just curious, the "simple-minded" CLI command you've implemented will be enough to accomplish everything I want to at this stage.

Did you guys ever make any progress on getting ED to use spleen clearing items like the jar of fermented pickle juice? I remember a discussion a while back, but I didn't follow the results too closely (at all). Also, feature request: Given a budget of X meat, have ED obtain the absolute maximum...

Nope. No idea sorry. Does it still run, or does it abort? Also, do yourself a favour and set eatdrink_pause to 0 in /kolmafia/data/vars_CHARNAME.txt EDIT: Ninja rabbit! No wonder he's stealing cookies! EDIT2: Good news everyone! Mafia now has a FaxBot command so I'll be able to put support for...

Chosen doesn't appear to work in Safari (my favourite), and automatic scrolling (i.e.: scrolling when you put your mouse at the top/bottom of the drop down) doesn't work in Chrome for Standard Select, but otherwise, yes, looks really nice. I especially like Multiple Select.

Oooh. Sounds good. Before that though, is there a way to fix the alignment on the checkboxes in the webkit browsers? I tried fiddling, but no matter what I did they ended up left-alligned in either Firefox or Safari and Chrome (they're supposed to be centre-alligned). It's a tiny thing but it's...

OK, I'll remember that when I go over it again. The biggest headache for me was getting the JS to work (I had to resolve one problem by storing a cookie in the browser – I forget exactly why – but it had the added bonus of remembering which tab the user was on when they last ran the script). I...

Oh yeah, the strips. When I originally did it it was just an experiment and I never went back and fixed it up. I was going to get rid of the map file, but in the end I decided to keep it because it removed a whole lot of clutter from the script and allowed me to fix up typos and improve...

Really? Well done! Tell me, is the relay script as bad as I think it is? Or has it, like a monster under a child's bed, grown more and more terrifying by feeding on my fears? Ever played that game Topple? Writing the relay script was a bit like that. Oh and if you ever get your magical...

So basically I'm saying that the BBS should be responsible for adding Mafia properties, not Harvest :P I'll put it together, won't be very difficult, and I don't know if you'd really want to mess with the relay script anyway. I know I'm always nervous when I edit it! One day I'll rewrite it I...

Here's an idea for you. Your BBS is essentially overriding Harvest's default behaviour for familiars and equipment. Regardless of what your BBS does Harvest will continue to equip items and familiars before passing control to the BBS which will then decide on the best item or fam to equip. But...

So you mean things like this snippet from equip_gear()? switch (current_activity()) { case "puttyfarm": outfit = PUTTYFARMING_OUTFIT; fam = PUTTYFARMING_FAM; fam_equip = PUTTYFARMING_FAMEQUIP; break; case "bountyhunt": outfit = BOUNTYHUNTING_OUTFIT; fam =...

Are we talking about the same thing here? By "sugar sheets setting and such" do you mean the settings set using the relay script? If so why would you rather access a Mafia property than the original zlib variable? Sorry if I'm being slow, sleep deprived remember ;).

The per-task equip settings? Can't you access those directly from the user's vars file?

@Winterbay: Wow, I wasn't sure if you were joking or not. Bet you didn't expect to end up with that job! :D @Coderanger: Yeah, a single script was the only way I was considering implementing it. But at that point we're just looking at a script which is called immediately prior to combat, which...

Haha, well, the thought only occurred to me as I typed the acronym for "Banana Feature Requests" so it had the same effect on both of us. Now, your profession... *Shakes magic 8-ball* You are a firefighter! No? An environmental activist working in a professional capacity! Still nothing? OK, then...

Euch. Are not. In my experience probability's either too easy to be interesting, or tedious and difficult (although I have no problem with the latter, in normal circumstances). I did hear a good suggestion today though, we could calculate the probability of a student determining the Talyor...

Thanks for chasing that down. On to it as always :).

Ah OK, thanks. I was going to be learning C this summer (southern hemisphere), but I ended up doing maths instead, which has been great up until now because, while it may be useful, does anyone actually ENJOY studying probability? Currently my only formal education in computer science has been...
