Best Between Battle Script Ever -- formerly AutoMCD

You could put something in your mood:

ashq if (get_property("_lastfamiliaritemforyoupersonally") == "5") use_familiar($familiar[your preferred familiar]);

Moods are checkpointed, but I think mafia got smarter a while ago about checkpointing familiar gear so it shouldn't have problems. But, I've been wrong before. (twice!)
 
I’m not really one for using it, but the familiar cycling seems like a neat addition. One question: have you considered going 1-1-1-1-1, 2-2-2-2-2 etc.? That is to say, swap in familiar 1 till you get drop 1; then familiar 2 until you get drop 1; and so on until familiar 5 is done, at which point you start all over for drop 2. It wouldn’t matter to someone who generates enough turns to get all 5 drops from all 5 familiars every day, but it’d likely increase the number of actual drops received for someone doesn’t. It does sound like a pain in the neck to write, and I don’t expect to use it much myself… as such, I suppose this isn’t a feature request so much as something I’d like to hear someone else’s thoughts on. :)
 
If you want to implement Aankhen's suggestion, you can steal the choose_fam() function in this script (it's not hard to code, this is just in case you feel lazy :) ).
 
I'd been meaning to bring this up but just kept forgetting about it.

There's one place where I find the automatic choice-adventures work against me: the library. If I'm not a muscle class, I really don't care about the gallery unlock. I'd rather use that choiceadv to unlock the second floor. Is there any chance of either making the gallery unlock only happen to muscle classes, or of using a bbb_unlock_gallery variable?
 
That sounds like a good deal. I tweaked it to unlock the gallery only if you're a muscle class OR if you're hunting non-Euclidean hooves OR you're > level 13. You're right; aside from possible bounty hunting there's really no reason for non-muscle classes to unlock the gallery during their run.

Updated in the first post, but didn't bump the version number.

Using BBB with the always option set, as timely wasn't triggering properly. Put the message into the top of the case always, like this:
PHP: 
            print("BBB is to blame!", "red");
            if (my_fullness() == fullness_limit()) return true;
            if (!eatsilent(1,$item[fortune cookie])) return false;
 
That may be fixed with the previous upload. I'm not really able to test right now, but I bumped the counter checks from starting at 0 to -1, which may help. Grab it again from the first post and see if the problem persists.
 
Nope, using that already. Added some extra logging, so here's what I'm running now. Won't get more semirares until tomorrow though, so can't check just yet.
PHP: 
      case "always": case "true":
         while (get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200) == "" ||
                (to_int(cooks.group(2)) > 0 && count(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200),"\t")) > to_int(cooks.group(2)))) {
 print(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200), "red");
 print(get_counters("Semirare window begin",1,200), "red");
 print(count(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200),"\t")), "red");
 print(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200),"\t"), "red");
            if (my_fullness() == fullness_limit()) return true;
            if (!eatsilent(1,$item[fortune cookie])) return false;
         }
 
Tweaked the display as I went through today to try to figure out what was going on. Here's the final logging section:
PHP: 
 print("FCF:" + get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200), "red");
 print("FCC:" + count(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200),"\t")), "red");
 print("FCS:" + split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200),"\t"), "red");
 print("SRF:" + get_counters("Semirare window begin",1,200), "red");
 print("SRC:" + count(split_string(get_counters("Semirare window begin",1,200),"\t")), "red");
 print("SRS:" + split_string(get_counters("Semirare window begin",1,200),"\t"), "red");

This returned the following:

Basically, it's not finding any FC counter either time, but there's a SR counter when it's actually time.

My current workaround was deleting the "Semirare window begin" counter check from timely. A range of 40 adventures isn't especially useful... Gives me my goal result (eating after semirare, not before) properly. Still not sure why Always wants to try to eat before as well as after... I do want it to eat regardless of location, but... eh.

Libram summoning possible?

Thank you for an awesome script. The familiar switching is terrific addition. Just one question - is there an easy way to incorporate libram summoning maybe by importing one of the existing libram scripts?
 
Okay, so managed to get BBB and CC to play nicely together by doing the following. I'll post the solutions in both threads, as both need some tweaking. This version does post updates, since it uses a mafia variable, but it could be converted to use a zlib variable for silence if preferred.

To CC, where it sets the locale, like so:
PHP: 
 string last_rare = get_property("semirareLocation");
 location locale = expensive_semi(last_rare);
 string billiard = "2";
add a line for setting what that locale is:
PHP: 
 string last_rare = get_property("semirareLocation");
 location locale = expensive_semi(last_rare);
 set_property("nextSemirareLocation", locale);
 string billiard = "2";

Then, after it's done with the turn, clean up the setting...
PHP: 
 eat_cookie();
}
becomes
PHP: 
 eat_cookie();
 set_property("nextSemirareLocation", "");
}


BBB then needs to be modified to respect that if nextSemirareLocation happens to be the place where we're going next, don't try to eat cookies, regardless of whether or not it's on the good cookie list. Change the following:
PHP: 
      case "always": case "true":
         while (get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200) == "" ||
                (to_int(cooks.group(2)) > 0 && count(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",0,200),"\t")) > to_int(cooks.group(2)))) {
to this:
PHP: 
      case "always": case "true":
         while (my_location() != to_location(get_property("nextSemirareLocation")) && (get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200) == "" ||
                (to_int(cooks.group(2)) > 0 && count(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",0,200),"\t")) > to_int(cooks.group(2))))) {

Basically, encapsulating the current check with a validation that we don't have a nextSemirareLocation active and that it isn't set to our current location. By doing it as a check instead of being a boolean, if something crashes out we don't completely break BBB's ability to re-cookie us, since CC will only cookie us if it's doing it in conjunction with one of the counters ticking off.
 
Okay, got it worked out.

Suppose I'll just paste in the modified bits... Basically, the 'always' section becomes this:
PHP: 
      case "always": case "true":
         while (my_location() != to_location(vars["BaleCC_nextSemirareLocation"]) && (get_counters("Fortune Cookie",-1,200) == "" ||
                (to_int(cooks.group(2)) > 0 && count(split_string(get_counters("Fortune Cookie",0,200),"\t")) > to_int(cooks.group(2))))) {
            if (my_fullness() == fullness_limit()) return true;
            if (!eatsilent(1,$item[fortune cookie])) return false;
         }
The only difference is that it checks that my_location is not equal to BaleCC_nextSemirareLocation. If we're good there, it runs the rest of the check. If we're adventuring in the SR location? That means we're adventuring ON the SR adventure, as the SR value is only set for that one turn, and turns itself off as soon as the adventure completes.
 
Thanks for working that out, Theraze. I wouldn't be able to do any testing on that for a while, so I'm glad you did it. I'll add your changes for the next update.

I'm not sure Bale will want to include CanAdv -- he's reluctant to use that for a script which only needs to check a few locations. But setting the property is probably something he'll agree to. Either way, the change to BBB is harmless, and if he edits CC to set the property, helpful.
 
Yes... he doesn't have to add that. I personally like it, because I wasted somewhere in the range of 6 semirares having it try to send me to the Harem or other places that weren't actually possible yet at my level. I included the code for that, but the only thing it actually NEEDS to work is setting the value before the !adventure 1 is sent, and removing it after.
 
Here's something I recently thought of, and here's as good of a place to ask it as any.

Does mafia currently track sugar item durability? I can't tell you the number of times I've intended to take my sugar shield off when it has, say, 5 adventures left on it, and have just completely forgotten about it. Poof go the runaways.

I'd love a way to either prompt or automatically remove a sugar item at an arbitrary durability threshold. Or, heck, a relay counter that gives me a countdown to breakage.
 
Yes. They are stored under a preference for each item as such:
Code: 
sugarCounter4178 (user, now '0', default 0)
sugarCounter4179 (user, now '0', default 0)
sugarCounter4180 (user, now '0', default 0)
sugarCounter4181 (user, now '0', default 0)
sugarCounter4182 (user, now '0', default 0)
sugarCounter4183 (user, now '0', default 0)
sugarCounter4191 (user, now '0', default 0)

You'll have to know which item is which number yourself though.
 
This alias is useful:
Code: 
[B]alias sug[/B] => ashq record{int it;string n;}[int]sc;int ind=0;for i from 4178 to 4183{sc[ind].it=i;sc[ind].n=get_property("sugarCounter"+i);ind+=1;}sc[ind].it=4191;sc[ind].n=get_property("sugarCounter4191");sort sc by value.n.to_int();foreach num,rec in sc{if(rec.n>0)print(rec.it.to_item()+": "+rec.n);}

Code: 
> sug

sugar shield: 2
sugar shirt: 29

Implementing this in BBB shouldn't be too hard.
