Well, to be fair, the script itself does still say 1.4996 inside, but the version checker is set to 1.4997 inside. It's sneaky like that. :)

Actually, the version in the first post is 1.4997, the first line just hasn't been updated to reflect the new version number (look at the call to check_version).

EDIT: Didn't see this page until after I posted >_<

Bad comment. Naughty comment. It's a holdover from the days before zarqon came up with the idea of automatic version checking and I should stop doing that since it is just another place to change a number with no advantage.

This has probably been answered upthread, but this script is interacting in odd ways with Mafia's natural wormwood safeties. Sometimes, but not always, it will abort with the message "wormwood counter expired" if adventures 9 and 8 on the counter are normal wormwood combats, or adventure 5 is. Is there something I can do to get more information about Mafia's internal state when this happens?

It had just gotten a tasty tart. I'm level 3 (primestat 8) in a bees run, with B items excluded from the validity check by this method:
Code: 
 foreach locale, rare in semi_rare {
  if(!canadv(locale) || !be_good(rare)) continue;
Not sure though why distilled fortified wine got eliminated, since it wasn't my last (tasty tart was) and it doesn't have a B in the name, unlike, well, everything else that was a valid option...

Since you've modded your version, could you post the whole thing in case you changed something and forgot about it. Thanks.

Interesting that I'm not the only one getting this... I had the same thing the other day (with the same mods as a couple of posts up in regards to available semi-rares set), for some reason the distilled wines disappear from the list sometimes.

I assume that's the modification you're talking about in #413, Winterbay? If so, I had a similar thing pop up during my last run. I really only started running this halfway through it, and commented out everything but tasty tarts and distilled fortified wine[sup]*[/sup] - I was looking for a very lazy, largely scripted HC/BHY run and wanted turn gen. I ended up getting similar errors a few times... But I also had some other, certainly unrelated errors[sup]**[/sup] pop up at nearly the same time, so I just ignored it and assumed it was something much larger and solely on my end of things. Seeing a few other posts like this, I wonder if there wasn't something more going on.

I'll try to remember to keep an eye on it this run, and see if it pops up again. This will be a very lazy, HCNP run - so lunchboxen have replaced tarts in the uncommented bits, fwiw.

*: a quick diff shows that the only things changed in my version are the // commented out bits in the 'item [location] semi_rare;' map
**: like GLOBAL_prefs.txt somehow swelling to over 580MB, causing Java to run out of memory and crash, even with "-Xmx 4096m" thrown in for good measure. Thankfully it was just 579.9 MB of garbage prepended to the file, and tail took care of it quickly.

Just did another check against the first post and that IS the only difference, but my copy is attached.

A thought in terms of what it might be... any chance that both the actual last choice (the one you just grabbed) and the old last choice (the one that WAS the last choice, before you grabbed your current one) are both being eliminated from the possibility listing? Wouldn't be an issue normally, because there are 3 level 1 options, but if you eliminate the lunchBox from the options, that means you only have 2 level 1-3 options and that bug would cause the bug above...

Next time this happens to someone, I would like to know what the Mafia "semirareLocation" preference is.

At the point where it failed to consider distilled wine as a possibility, it had already run its adventure and the last location was the pantry with its tart... I left that window open overnight and am just now resuming my scattered EatDrink ingredient muckings. Heh.

That's exactly it! Thank you! The reason for this is kinda weird, so I didn't notice. I'll spin off a new release later after I take some time to figure out the best way to fix it.

Well that wasn't really very hard to fix at all once Theraze guessed at the problem.


Released CounterChecker v1.4998​

This is the "limited semi-rare opportunities" release.

PS. I really better get around to adding that semi-rare list feature so I can hit release v1.5 already.

I made a tiny error that doubtlessly confused you. I'm sure you'll understand when you see...


Released CounterChecker v1.4999​


This is the "Fixed it Right" release.
