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

I take it you do not have the SVN-version of the script? The current released version has a bug in which it will do just that when going to the bedroom. Do the bedroom manually or update to the SVN-version if you want a complete 100%-run and not a tourguide run.

Winterbay, How do you get the SVN version? Can you give me step by step instructions?
 
The Rinn scripts I work on have a basic version of the Level 8 quest sorted out, but... here's a question. Extreme outfit and slope, or ninja rope with some other plan for elemental resistance? My version currently just farms the outfit and does the 3 choice adventures at the slope to finish things off, but technically if you have decent elemental resistance or you're in SC, especially during the bugbear path, the ninja route is superior...

txrangersxx, just go to the Sourceforge page, Develop, browse SVN, the bumcheekascend script, and download. Or go to http://bumcheekascend.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bumcheekascend/bumcheekascend.ash?view=log and download the top item there... same difference.

The version I set up goes for the Ninjas if it can get 5 elemental resistance, otherwise it hunts for the eXtreme outfit and aborts due to me not having checked out the choice adventures needed yet. I think the Ninja-way is better (i.e. faster) if you can get 5 elemental resistance some otehr way, but I'm not sure.

Edit: Current revision of the SVN-version should now handle both ways to beat the level 8 quest. It'll still prefer the ninjas if possible. It also sets some more choice adventures.

FYI, if you run this with WHAM, it will still yellow ray a miner (even rev 154). The code is still there to switch to a HeBo and then WHAM uses the yellow ray.

The choice adventures are just 3 auto-choice adventures with no option besides continue, so I think mafia just moves past them. No special aborting needed.

Ninja is better if your item drop is good and you have elemental resistance already. If your pirate fledge drop has RNG hate, you'll probably prefer the NC Extreme option since all you need are the choice adventures there, no special items...

It should, as of the latest version, only yellow ray the foreman. Is this not working?

Also, there is no special code in WHAM for yellowraying anything as far as I'm aware, and I wrote it :)

Yeah, I noticed which was why it was somewhat easy to add that. I just don't have wiki-access at work (blocked by the firewall) so I couldn't check that there. The assassin items drop automatically if you beat the ninjas I think so no need for item drops at all, you just need the ninjas to show up and survive that first hit.
 
You must have access to +combat to see a ninja assassin. A million turns there without +combat and you'll never finish the zone. Hopefully that's checked and just wasn't mentioned above.

It worked for me as well.

Please note that you apparently still tell the script to get 6 wedges of goat cheese, while the trapper now only wants 3 - is there a reason for that?

It didn't but it does now.

Heh... that's an interesting side effect of that being a really cheap skill that does loads of damage apparently.
In the upcoming release of WHAM you can tell the script to ignore that skill completely, unfortunately that'll also remove the minor rays and other colours so perhaps not optimal. but it'll save the yellow ray at least...
 
I seem to still be having an issue with the new Level 8 quest. The Level 8 quest got changed during my last ascension after I had completed it, and the script was giving me the same problem. I had to downgrade the script then to finish the ascension, but I figured it was just related to the timing of the quest change. This ascension I've been using the SVN HEAD version of the script since the beginning, and I just encountered the problem again. It seems to get stuck checking to see if I've completed mining. Let me know if there's any other detail I can provide that would be helpful.

I can see that bcasc_stage_mining=58 in my character's mafia prefs file, which is the correct value.

It looks like the problem I'm having was the first loop in the bcascTrapper() function. It seems to have been infinitely looping there because the script visited the trapper after finding 3 asbestos ores, at which point I already had 3 goat cheeses as well. I changed the conditional on that first loop to
Code: 
...
while (!checkStage("mining") && i_a(get_property("trapperOre")) < 3) {
...
and it seems to continue along just fine now!

Yep, it will, because I failed to account for it aborting in the middle of it. I'll check that really soon :)

Possibly wait until the dinghy planks change has been put into Mafia so we can change that "hermit(1, $item[dingy planks]);" call to a "buy(1, $item[dingy planks]);" instead.
 
r158 contains the, hopefully, last fix for the trapper quest. Now with included tracking of the quest via Mafia's internal quest tracker rather than the binary internal variable.
Let me know if I broke something on the way :)
 
Thanks, Winterbay! I ran out of turns today right in the middle of the trapper quest (convenient, eh?), so I'll let you know how everything goes tomorrow.
