Not sure if this is a bug or not, problem with CCS

@Camber: I don't think he means that he's using an older version of Mafia, he just prefers to use a .exe instead of a .jar.

@Braska: If you use windows, as long as you put the new .jar next to your old .exe in the kolmafia folder, it will use the same settings and scripts. If double clicking the .jar doesn't open Mafia, follow Theraze's advice.

(and yes, I do think)

Heh.

And from the bit of description, if he's not sure where his data files live, it sounds possible that his wrapper is actually unwrapping his JAR in either the temporary folder, or just A temporary folder, and running it there. Either way, if the data files aren't obviously running out of the folder where the EXE is being executed, something's wrong...

Alright, I downloaded the .jar from here, made sure it was in the same folder, and all of my settings moved over just fine. That being said, my CCS is still not working. I have, however, realized what an idiot I am. I cannot right click to copy and paste the debug, but, I can copy with shortcuts. You may all slap me right now.

Basement sucessfully automated for 0 out of 1 adventures.

Those are the results of my calling autoBasement.ash. And to answer other questions, I am using 8809 jar, and running Windows 7.

The generated macro is basically what you get if you've set Mafia to restore MP in battle and have the only combat action "attack with weapon".

All the combat items listed are MP-restorers. This is not what I would expect if the CCS you posted was used.

Just to add a bit of background, combats in autobasement.ash are managed by running:
My guess is that, when using visit_url(), the monster and location aren't initialized in FightRequest.java, so the [ default ] section of the CCS is used. If this is the case, maybe SmartStasis.ash isn't called because Mafia thinks you are on round 2 when run_combat() is called.

If this is the problem, it would probably have been reported earlier so this is probably a bad guess (I still have problems figuring my way around the code when requests are created and posted...).

@Braska : can you try creating a new CCS that contains just this:
and try again?

Yes, I'll try it tomorrow, drunk now, but I'll post the results. Btw, I took SmartStasis out entirely. The only difference in my CCS right now from the recommended one is that I have mine set for [ basement ] instead of [ default ].

Here are the results, after simply changing [ basement ] to [ default ] :

Basement sucessfully automated for 1 adventures

As you all can see, that fixed the problem of not being able to automate the basement, the question now though, is why does it not work with the [ basement ] requirement? I would rather not fight all of my adventures with that ccs, just the basement...

My CCS looks like so:

[ basement ]
1: skill entangling noodles
2: skill spectral snapper

[ default ]
1: consult SmartStasis.ash
2: attack with weapon

[basement] isn't a standard CCS category. The categories are monster names, or parts thereof. You can make it one by breaking out the monsters by name that then call that section. This preserves the Default section for other combat. Change your CCS thusly:

Actually, CSS section *do* match on zone names too ... well, the comment in code says "against the adventure location", but it checks against the lastAdventure property, which I don't know if it is location name at that point (it's set to adventureName in KoLAdventure.run(), then to location in KoLAdventure.recordToSession()).
What I know is that I had to change [ boss bat ] to [ the boss bat ] when I wanted it to fire on the boss bat only ( [ boss bat ] fired on all bats in his lair ).

So ... what's in lastAdventure during/after a basement battle?

Also, is lastAdventure set when run_combat() is used after a visit_url()?

There's definitely something screwy going on here - an automated combat should have a "Strategy:" line near the top (in the CLI), telling you what battle action or CCS section was used.

Ok, what can I do to help? I may not understand a lot, but I'm pretty good at following straightforward instructions.

Also, has anyone tried to replicate this problem, or is it only being weird for me?

Just you.

How exactly are you running your basement combats?

He is using autobasement.ash, which handles the fights like this:

So why does it work 'normally' normally? Or is the standard thing with autobasement to just change your default?

The confusing thing to me, is that I used autoBasment.ash just fine about 8 months ago, ccs worked perfectly then, no problems. Now, this is my first real amount of time spent playing since May, and it is acting all wonky. I just don't know what changed in the course of 8 months that would make [ basement ] not work like it used to.

Could that be because the combat is initiated with the following? And if so, is that a bug?

Here's something odd I've noticed changing in the last week or three... run_combat() no longer appears to pause other actions while it's happening. The Spooky Forest/Tavern handler that I'm using that uses visit_url, parses the page, and does run_combat() if it's a combat page... no longer waits for combat to finish before launching a new page. It completes one action, then runs the next CCS step when the next page is visited. I manually put a waitq(5) in there, and that makes it finish properly because my combats don't take that long normally... but it's a change and one I'd prefer not to have to kludge past. Guessing this may be what changed for Braska as well.
