I'm looking for some guidance. In my most recent basement run. I had quite a few instances where autobasement would fail to pass a test. Minor tweaking with either the maximizer or the relay browser helper would pass allow passage without problem. Do I have something misconfigured or is autobasement missing something? Here are the two circumstances that happened most frequently:
1. Failing an elemental resistance test. Casting Saucespheres and Turtle Tamer shells allowed passage but autobasement wouldn't cast them as needed.
2. Failing a stat test. More often than not purchasing a gremlin mutagen would allow passage. I have autoBasement_max_potion_price set to 10,000.
Any thoughts?

Ok, so a Beta-release of the new version is available on sourceforge now. You can check it out via
It took me, more or less, to level 400 when I tried and seems a lot more stable than the earlier version. There are some issues with the new maximize-command that I have not yet ironed out (it may try to use more than one hatter-buff for example).
Is there a way to detect if the hatter has been visited today already?
Since it now uses the maximizer completely (and ignores the previous data-file) three new settings were added autobasement_eat/drink/spleen_to_buff which all defaults to false. If set to true the script will be allowed to eat, drink and spleen to buff you up for tests. Useful for higher levels if you are underlevelled yourself, but should probably be kept to false for the first half of a 500-level run at least. If true you will most likely also get warnings about eating without milk and drinking without ode. I'm not sure how to repress that since we're just passing the maximizer command to cli_execute atm.
Please report any findings of oddness here and I'll try to handle them

Pass the maximizer command through index_of to detect if we are using eat or drink and if so, replace_string? We use eatsilent and overdrink to suppress messages. Alternatively, we could cast ode (if we don't already have max songs) and use a milk for the extra adventures... definitely worthwhile if we're using more than a single point of fullness.
Using the latest version, it tends to fail Elemental tests. Here are some examples.
Here's another one:
Trying again immediately:
When I removed Beaten Up and ran it again immediately, it did this:
Here's another one:
Trying again immediately without removing Beaten Up first:
Uh, yeah. I was Beaten Up when I came in, and it removed it. The problem is ... ?
Trying again immediately:
And it worked.

Yes, elemental tests is a problem. For some reason things get wonky sometimes and I can't tell why (I sometimes had to do a "refresh all" in order to get Mafia back into synch with KoL when the elemental resistances got mixed up). Lucky for me I left the debug numbers in there so at least I have something to look at.
The interesting thing is, it really thought it would succeed since otherwise it wouldn't have cast the healing spell (that is the last thing that happens before it visits the basement of real). As you also can see, the numbers printed by Mafia and the numbers listed by the script does not match up (e.g. in the last one where it says 8.0 for both stench and hot (taken from numeric_modifier("_spec", "stench/hot reisistance") while Mafia prints +2).

first time I have run Mafia in ages ...
updated mafia/batbrain/wham to latest (https svn checkout does not work for me)
and autoBasement does not run
is there some other script I need to update, that I have mnissed?
best regards

I haven't had a chance to try the latest autobasement.ash yet but I ran into something similar to what Veracity hit on my last run. The relay browser basement helper had no problem with buffing the character enough to pass the elemental tests in question.
Often, but not always, all that was necessary to pass was to cast a few Turtle Tamer buffs on top of what autobasement.ash has already figured out.

I have to say, I think I might have a crush on this script. Clean, simple, optimal, powerful, etc. Too bad I already have all my telescope parts.
I'd like to add some comments, but they're all minor.
When it aborts because it can't beat a test, because it's too expensive, it doesn't mention that autoBasement_max_potion_price can be changed.
Sometimes when it aborts because it can't beat a test, rerunning things works fine.
Caching outfits is nice, until it starts aborting and then it takes a lot of time to only do a level or two. I'm not sure I'd fix that one.

That's something that's been on my list to mention for quite a while. What about a two-fold check:
If all stats are above 200 AND we've cached outfits today THEN don't go through the process again today.
Perhaps with a zlib variable to toggle the behavior.
Thoughts?
Ah, but as you get more muscle, you might have a different outfit that maximizes your HP (e.g. lawn dart vs brimstone bludgeon), or what have you (maximizer doesn't support more complicated functions like effective HP, taking into account resistance / DA).
Yeah, that's extremely niche and was never relevant for me, since I always started basement diving late enough that was a non-issue.
