ZapWizard - Automatically zaps for mall profit

[fronobulax]

The attempt to zap none is a logic problem.

The failure to find anything to zap may be related so some ash array changes and I am investigating.

[fronobulax]

OK. Tracked it down.

Kol Marketplace is not returning any volume data. Depending upon how the profit and capital parameters are set, ZapWizard will filter its recommendations on volume sold, and if it thinks nothing is selling, it recommends nothing. I have not done it yet but I suspect tweaking parameters will eventually find something to zap.

Yikes, yeah something nasty seems to have happened to coldfront's marketplace. Setting the zlib var "volumechecking" to false should allow it to work again.

in the mafia CLI:

zlib zapwizard_volumechecking = false

That'll definitely impact the trustworthiness of the results. Some further tweaking of your parameters might well be in order.

Random thought - I should also probably push zapwizard to version 1.0 at some point, since people have been using it for five and half years.

Well if the Coldfront Maketplace were up I would reopen the discussion to use CFStat :-)

I recently tried this, it spent a long long time hammering the mall. Before telling me it can't come up with anything to do.

Works fine for me. Try reading the first post more carefully. Here's the result with some settings I use.

ZapWizard recommends zapping tangerine
costing 140 meat, with a predicted average zap profit ~ 358 meat.
The best result is cocktail onion costing 999
803 units have been sold in the last week.

and

ZapWizard recommends zapping gnauga hide chaps
costing 1,150 meat, with a predicted average zap profit ~ 21,615 meat.
The best result is gnauga hide whip costing 44,344
1 units have been sold in the last week.

I am honestly not trying to be rude here, but I really do not see how this relates to the issue I had

And now ZapWizard really is broken. To fix it, change "http://kol.coldfront.net" to "https://kol.coldfront.net" on or near line 364. I see darkcodelagsniper logged on less than a month ago.

New version with your fix in the OP

6 years till something broke the script badly enough for it to require an update isn't too bad.
