How do I add stuff to batfactors? I just fought "Frozen Bag of Tortellini" and it's immune to physical (it takes 1 damage).
My Rogue Program and any attacks I did made it take 1 damage, but when it bumped into my hot shield it was taking ~8, and saucegeyser did massive damage when WHAM stopped and told me to kill it on my own (so it looks like it's cold aligned, takes double from hot).
EDIT: Reading The Fine Manual now...
Ok, I'm not sure on their vulnerabilities, but I added these two lines (so far) to batfactors.txt and WHAM is now not using wimpy physical attacks, thinking the monsters will take full damage from physical...so I think it's close to what I wanted.

Code:

monster 998 Possessed Can of Creepy Pasta 1.0 0

I tried and couldn't find the instructions for updating batfactors.txt. If you figure it out, the monster names and types are at http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Peripatetic_Pasta .

Which makes sense with the out of date version of BatBrain.
If you are using the SVN version, type svn update now.
Then make sure that, in the svn/batbrain/scripts folder, there is only one "BatBrain.ash" file. If there are more, you've managed to make BatBrain conflict itself. Check the date stamp as well. Now look at the main scripts folder and check if BatBrain.ash has the same date. It should, and it should be no earlier than 2013-11-10, as that's when zarqon pushed the latest version with its procedural support, etc.
Repeat for ChIT. I'd skip the images folder, because that will drive you crazy, but do make a point of looking at the svn/bale-chit/relay folder at the charpane.ash file and comparing that to the main relay folder's charpane.ash, since that's the file that's definitely out of date that you mentioned.
The easiest way to fix it if you've gotten them out of sync and haven't made any changes is to either svn delete <script>, svn checkout <location>, or, if you are having problems remembering where it's at, svn dec <script>, svn update... that one doesn't ALWAYS fix it when you've told the script to break and not update files anymore, but it's faster and doesn't take you remembering the original checkout location.

r27 Update
Brief update to fix preexisting sauce skills. Sauceror skills are no longer tuneable. Saucegeyser (and Saucemageddon, until more is known) automatically deals immaculately seasoned damage. Immaculate Seasoning doesn't exist anymore. Also updated batfactors to specify hot and/or cold where applicable rather than "sauce".

Being in a Bad Moon run, I've tried to run Mosquito and got the error mentioned in post #1110 (and earlier):
I've done a bit of debugging and the source seems to be in the line 180 of BatBrain:
Specifically, in the call to "eval(bit,fvars)": if the "bit" equals "-dmg", for some reason "fvars" don't contain "dmg", so the evaluation fails. Someone more knowledgeable than me might find a true source of this error, but in the meanwhile you can fix it by replacing line 180 of BatBrain with:
I'm not sure this fix results in accurate calculations, but at least it doesn't fail.
Code:
Expression syntax errors for 'modifier_eval()':
Can't understand dmg (zlib.ash, line 185)
Code:
if (!bittles.find()) { if (bit != "") res[$element[none]] += eval(bit,fvars); continue; }
Code:
if (!bittles.find()) { if (bit != "") {if (dmg == "-dmg") {fvars["dmg"] = to_float(dmg);} res[$element[none]] += eval(bit,fvars);} continue;}I'm not sure this fix results in accurate calculations, but at least it doesn't fail.

As soon as I've got that error, I made sure that BB/SS/WHAM are at the svn head. Then I've tracked down your exact suggestion and went to see what it looked like in the current script.
It turns out I don't even have build_opts anywhere (just to be sure, searched in BatBrain, SmartStasis and WHAM) - instead fxngear()/parse_factors() are in the BatBrain's set_monster(), and they were already in the proposed order:
Code:
1466: parse_factors();
1467: // initialize effects/gear
1468: fxngear();Only after I've exhausted all the conventional solutions, I've started my own research.

Thanks for the update, zarqon. I actually had no idea what a crude voodoo doll did until I read the wiki to find out why you'd need to add custom code to handle it.
That's a pretty neat combat item! I'm looking forward to using it!

As discussed in the WHAM thread I've been looking into the differences between the new spell updates and what BatBrain.ash and batfactors.txt currently know. I believe this is the right patch to fix Intrinsic Spiciness.
I've confirmed this by testing Saucegeyser with the new formula from the wiki and WHAM's predictions match KoL.
I've uploaded a batfactors.txt with the new Saucegeyser formula, but sadly, I've got surprise babysitting tonight instead of what I was looking forward to.
