bumcheekcend.ash - A zero setup semi-automated ascension script!

Ok just tried .43 for doing a Boris ascension and when it ran it got this

Maximizing (1st time may take a while)...
2 combinations checked, best score 19.375
Putting on chef's hat...
Equipment changed.
You need 1 more Clancy's sackbut to continue.

Even though Clancy comes with his sackbut equiped when you start.

I am on 10721 of mafia
 
Yeah, sorry about that. I was already past the point where I got other parts when I tested that. Fixed in 0.44 (aka the current SVN-version).

Also, I used to_float(to_int()) as a quick fix as I needed to run my turns before heading out and had no time to come up with a better solution. AS to_float(boolean) now works again I've changed the SVN-version back again.
 
I added a "i_a("clancy's sackbut") >0"-check to the equiping of it. If it gets down there and we don't have it, it is fairly certain clancy has it so we can just continue.

The bug will stop all running of the script as an Avatar of Boris until you get either the Lute or the Crumhorn which is a bit of a bummer. I guess. I've run most of my first two days by hand anyway lately (hence me not realising that error earlier) since it is a bit awkward without any good fighting skills at the start, but if you want to run it from the beginning as an AoB you won't be able to with the current version.

Isn't Mighty Axing a "pretty good fighting skill"? I use it all the time, through the entire run. Eventually, I soften foes up with Intimidating Bellow first, but even so.

Of course, I haven't even dipped my toe into the Fighting Tree, yet, but I don't feel like I'm underpowered.

Yes it works okish, but if you're scripting and don't want to always play it safe you may end up with points where it won't hit the monster (it appears ot have roughly the same hitchance as a normal attack). I like auto-hits (which is why I mainly play myst classes I guess) for safety :)
 
I get these error messages when running version 0,43 and 0,44 with the latest daily build of kolmafia at the time of posting:

The devs made scripts actually tell you when you write sloppy code. :) They'll disappear as the normal BCA people get their chance to look at the lines and update them.
 
What's "unreachable code"?

I suppose I'll have to go through and change some booleans to voids and suchforth. I don't have the time at the moment, hopefully this can wait until the end of the week.

I'll take a look at it when I log in with my character that actually runs the script :)

Edit: Aaand done. That was a lot of things so I hope I didn't screw anything up...

That said most of the "unreachable code" was breaks after returns.

bumcheekcity's Ascension Script 0.44

With special mention and continued thanks to Winterbay for the commitment to the script!

Please note that v0.40 includes some logging of settings and actions into the script. These include:
- Username
- Script Settings
- Everything from api.php?what=status except your password hash, which would be useless but I strip out anyway.

[ ... omitted ]


UPDATE 20/02/2011 - Download files from the SourceForge page - this does not require registration!

What does this logging entail? Where is it logged? For what purpose?
 
It is logged at BCCs server and is, as far as I know, only available to BCC. It is intended to be used to see how the script is being used.

What's being logged is listed in the first post so, username, script settings and whatever is returned from "api.php?what=status" which I guess is your level and such at the time.

The logging entails the recording of the given data and nothing more (I do not log IP addresses) stored unencrypted on my server in a mySQL database, just like the snapshot information. The following are examples of the "settings" and "api" information from the last time I used the script.

The purporse of the logging is to enable me to see what settings people have on, which is amazingly useful for debugging PICNIC (or whatever acronym we prefer for that) issues. It's also useful for determining ideas of how many people run the script, with what frequency, whether people tend to use it for 100% runs, etc.

Basically, I'm just collecting data in order to best see how people are using the script. Nobody else is able to access the raw information, and that's how the situation will remain. I'm happy to answer any further questions people might have on it.

If this bothers you, you can probably just comment out line 449, where the URL gets submitted to bcc's server.

This feels to me like it's bypassing the opt-in/opt-out "notify" stuff in the beginning of the script, but that's not really up to me.

Did you commit that, it doesn't seem to be showing up?

I'm unsure as to why unreachable code is an issue, but if it's fixed, it's fixed.
 
It's only an issue because KoLmafia reports it now - and it may become an error in the future, making your scripts no longer runnable. That's bad.
 
No, I mean I understand that it'll probably be an error in the future, I just don't understand why it's a warning, but if Winterbay's already got to it, I can't see it being a big thing.
 
I believe Jason is going to leave unreachable code as a warning. Functions lacking return values are the ones that will become errors.

Unreachable code is meaningless, so it's objectively a good thing to prompt scripters to remove it.
