Bug CCS for photocopied monster fights

This could be just "user error", but I can't seem to get a ccs to work right for a photocopied monster fight.

In my between battle script, I've got something like this:
Code: 
use_familiar($familiar[obtuse angel]);
cli_execute("ccs obtuse");
use(1, $item[photocopied monster]);

The entire obtuse.ccs looks like this:
Code: 
[ default ]
skill fire a badly romantic arrow
skill fire a boxing-glove arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
skill fire a poison arrow
attack with weapon

...but when I run the fight, I get this:

Code: 
Receiving a fax.
You acquire an item: photocopied monster
You receive a photocopied Blooper from the fax machine.
Successfully got a Blooper fax.
Putting Kwisatz Hatrack the Baby Sandworm back into terrarium...

Casting Tongue of the Walrus 1 times...

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

This has nothing to do with the fact that it's a photocopied monster fight. Note that it correctly identified the monster - Encounter: Blooper - and correctly chose the section of your CCS - Strategy: obtuse.ccs [default].

It just didn't recognize that those combat skills were available to you. I see code in FightRequest.java to handle them. In each case, it enforces the per-day limit on the type of arrow and requires that you be running with your obtuse angel. You had the right kind of familiar. Had you fired all your arrows? What do the "_badlyRomanticArrows" (etc.) settings say?

I hadn't used the obtuse angel yet. Here are my prefs (am I missing any?):

Code: 
> ashq foreach str in $strings[_badlyRomanticArrows, _boxingGloveArrows, _fingertrapArrows, _poisonArrows,] { print(str + ":" + get_property(str)); }

_badlyRomanticArrows:0
_boxingGloveArrows:0
_fingertrapArrows:0
_poisonArrows:0

I guess I haven't tried CCS with the obtuse angel with a non-photocopied monster. You're right that that piece of information may be spurious.

I had a single adventure the other day where my ccs was correctly selected by what mafia showed at the start of combat, yet it still skipped all of the early actions and went to the last action listed. I'm still on 9099, so I didn't bother reporting it, especially as it only happened once. But figured it might be worth mentioning, just in case.

I'm still seeing this behavior with CCS today. I can't use an obtuse angel's actions in a CCS without putting some other skill to fire before them. Not that this is a problem with the 0 MP plinkers, but it doesn't seem like it should be happening.

Is it trying to set angel actions as like an auto-attack or something?

Move your eyes farther up the page and look at the note I wrote starting with the words "how odd". I included the generated combat macro with the arrow first and also with the arrow second. That answers your question quite clearly: autoattack is not involved.

With the arrow first, this is the guts of the macro:

if hasskill 7111
****call mafiaround; skill 7111
endif
while mpbelow 1
****call mafiamp
endwhile
if hasskill 3004
****call mafiaround; skill 3004
endif

With the arrow second, this is the guts:

while mpbelow 1
****call mafiamp
endwhile
if hasskill 3004
****call mafiaround; skill 3004
endif
if hasskill 7111
****call mafiaround; skill 7111
endif

You tell me why KoL did not use skill 7111 in the first macro and DID use it in the second one.
