missingManuel.ash - Yet Another Manuel Script!

[Veracity]

"Béarnaise" SHOULD be "Béarnaise" anyway; use HTML character entities, just like KoL and KoLmafia use, rather than system-specific character codes.

You'll see the same thing, come El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos (from memory; don't ding me if I got my Spanish wrong) with the "Cadaver" monsters.

El Novio Cadáver
El Padre Cadáver
La Novia Cadáver
La Persona Inocente Cadáver

Sorry, I seem to have not noticed the new posts before my edit. Thanks!

Thanks, Veracity! This will be fixed in the next version of the script.

And thanks for the tips, Erich. I'll remove Servant of Flameface (which I thought I had already removed).

I have an idea on how to fix the Slimes (Ed has the same issue). I don't know if I'll be able to do much with the ancient protector spirits or the Vibrato monsters. I'll try to figure something out.

Looking at my solution to a similar problem might spark an idea: http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?11...anuel-Improved

Hi, couple things:
First, the Servant of Lord Flameface appears not to have factoids, much like the other brushfire encounters. I've tried to get them from faxing twice now (once towards the beginning, and again today) with no factoids dropped.

This is what I got when I ran your script:

You have casually researched 7 creatures.
You have thoroughly researched 10 creatures.
You have exhaustively researched 940 creatures.
You have not researched 22 creatures.

However, this is what my manuel in-game says:
You have casually researched 7 creatures.
You have thoroughly researched 10 creatures.
You have exhaustively researched 946 creatures.

So it appears you're missing some monster data. I'd guess 3 of the 6 missing are the grey goos, but have no idea what the other 3 could be. I'd be happy to help you figure that out in whatever way is necessary, if you would like to contact me in-game.

Cheers

Also, I think El Vibrato has 2 separate sets of monsters, depending on if you have a translator. I'll get back to you on that.

I can confirm that they do.

Also, the El Dia monsters don't have leading articles in the Manuel, so they're just Novia Cadáver and so on.

Fortunately that doesn't prevent this script from detecting them perfectly

[Yendor]

After checking against a different monster list, I think I've accounted for the inaccurate count:

*Ed the Undying and the Slime Tube monsters are being counted multiple times.
*There are multiple entries for the animated nightstands, four of the gremlins, the ancient protector spirits, the El Vibrato constructs, and the clingy pirate.
*The monster Mafia names Ninja Snowman (Hilt/Mask) is really two different monsters, distinguishable only by their drops (and factoids).
*Rene C. Corman and the fudge poodle are missing from the list.
(Gray goo should be fixed as of the latest Mafia version.)

I think the Mafia build 11651 ("El and La are not usually part of a monster's name. Another Manuel potion.") which fixes the Cadaver monsters to match with the Manuel entries broke this script. When I ran it using build 11651, I immediately got this message: "Bad monster value: "El Novio Cadáver" (missingManuel.ash, line 72)" I sent back to 11649, and it ran just fine.

Help?

Delete all occurrences of "El " (or wait for a new version of the script).
